Setup: Velocity clone; dual twisted 28awg @ .55Ω; cotton wicks; 40 W
Testing: CAP Chocolate Glazed Donut @ 3%; Aged: 10 days
Flavor description: Very dense chocolate cakiness with artificial chocolate icing. A little bit dry, and definitely thick. Similar to what you would expect out of a package of Little Debbie chocolate glazed donuts, but with the donut part being chocolate as well. I personally get the icing on the inhale and dense chocolate cake on the exhale.
Off-flavors: A bit waxy, but in the way pre-packaged Little Debbie snacks' chocolate "icing" is waxy. Not totally off-putting, but a rather weird texture if you will. Some users also report the dreaded "Play-Doh" taste associated with CAP Glazed Donut.
Throat hit: 4/10 rather smooth, yet has a very dense mouthfeel.
Uses: Obviously, everyone should be familiar with /u/enyawreklaw 's Bronuts recipe which uses this at 7%. At lower (<3%) percentages, this flavor could works well for adding density and/or depth to existing chocolates. For me, this works as a standalone too if you're just looking for a straight up chocolate donut vape.
Pairings: Cookies, peanut butter, nuts, coffee, or even other cake flavorings. FA Joy to add a bit of sweet yeasty/doughy aspect. I can also see this working well with certain fruits if you wanted to get creative with pairing the chocolate.
Notes: I didn't include creams in the pairings simply because some of them that I tried had a tendency to take away from the dense cakey chocolate. There might be some that do work for you, but in my experience they tend to slightly mute the chocolate and seemingly "thin out" the mouthfeel. I personally enjoy this concentrate a lot more without any creams in the mix.
This is one of the flavors that is incredibly harsh to me when its fine to most.
I don't know why but anything I use this in taste like Play-Do to me. Other people love it but I get that unforgettable taste of Play-Do
I've heard that from some people about the regular CAP Glazed Donut, but not the chocolate version. What % are you using it at?
I taste some play dough all the way down at 2% single flavor. It's the exact same "dough" flavor as Glazed Donut, but the chocolate tends to hide it from a lot of people. I think it stands out like a sore thumb. Bronuts tastes like Mr Bill in a chocolate hot tub to me.
I don't get Play-Doh from it like I do from the regular donut but it is chalky-textured and a coil-gunker. Have you found a way to make it less chalky without creams?
Does it stay that way after a 3 week steep ? I get the same chalkyness from it and it makes my mouth extra dry but it becomes super smooth after a long steep.
At 3% after a 10 day steep, I didn't really get chalkiness. I actually didn't even try this one until I did the review, so there's a possibility it was earlier on. I definitely picked up a lot more waxiness and almost a "hard cake" texture than anything.
I must just suck at reviewing donut flavors. My CAP Glazed seemed way off from others too, so I was hesitant to even do this, oh well. But I am glad people are speaking up here to what they pick up on for tastes/textures!
sat on my shelf for a while after only using it in bronuts. decided to play with it more and am enjoying choco glazed donut with la cream cheese icing and joy. a bit of sweetener really helps it out as well. Also I have found cap choco glaze works very nice at low % ~1% can provide a fudge for a sundae. or ive even had it work well as chocolate chip note at .5% in a banana nut bread and in a chocolate chip cookie.
Pretty awesome flavor if you don't experience any of the negative notes that some describe. Pairs well with FA Coconut, adding even more mouthfeel, leaving a thick creamy chocolate and coconut to linger in your mouth for a long time after a drag. Terrible coil gunker and a bit hard on the throat, so not for ADVs, but a few drags to a cup of coffee, oh man, it's a treat.
