So, I am surprised this flavor isn't in the wiki since it is such a common flavor. I decided to do a review on it anyway.
**Setup:**Recoil rda with flavor cap. Dual round wire coils @ .25 ohm. Power: 80 Watts.
Testing: Cap Vanilla Cupcake at 5%, 70/30 VG/PG, Steeped 8 days.
Flavor Description This is a slightly sweet cupcake with frosting. Depending on how you use it, you can bend this to either be cake dominant or frosting dominant, but at 5% it is pretty well balanced. There is a slight vanilla note to this but it is subtle which makes this flavor so versatile and can definitely benefit from some added vanilla if you want to go that route.
Off Flavors: No off flavors that are noteworthy at this percentage.
Throat Hit: 3/10 - Not a harsh flavor at all, pretty smooth, comes with a little sting in the back of the throat for me but not unpleasant.
Uses: This flavor is pretty versatile. It can be used as a cake flavor at higher percentages to bump up a bakery or as frosting at lower percentages. I use this a lot along side LA CCI to help round out that icing flavor.
Pairings: Fruits, Creams, other bakeries, Chocolate, Basically anything that goes with cupcakes would be best friends with this flavor.
Notes This flavor has a medium mouth feel, not as sweet of a flavor as fw yellow cake but is very pleasant and a tad sour. At lower percentages, the cake part of the flavor is easily covered up in a mix and what you are left with is yummy frosting. At 5%, I get equal amounts of cake and frosting which would be nice to add a cakey layer to a bakery recipe.
Second Opinion: I really like when /u/Concreteriver does this so I thought I would add it in
Krucial uses this with ap in his pistachio pound cake recipe to add to the brown outside of the cake
Ro8u57 uses cap vanilla cupcake at a small percentage to add some sweetness and help round out vbic
Nice review. I've been using this to clone adirondack's sagamore but I never thought to push it up higher to accent the bakery and take away from the frosting. Cheers.
Coming after you /u/adirondackvapor
Thanks! What type of flavor is sagamore?
Oh you're putting me on the spot now.
Sagamore from adirondack vapors is from my repetitive experience a very bright and up front Carmel vanilla. As it sets you'll get base cinnamon and cake. It's recommended to let sit for at least 4-6 weeks but I usually only buy this time of year so you get something stupid like 500ml for 80 bucks but I'm bad at math.

All I know is that it's what got me into ry4 mixes. That along with some other strawberry yogurt from the west coast and Wayne got me into mixing my own.
Look up the best and you'll find saratoga by adk, sagamore by adk, lenola by kic, nana by bombies, placid bu adk, etc etc.
Oh I'm also into cloning sagamore. Would you like to share your recipe?
