Percentage Used: 5%
Equipment Used: Cleito tank with a .4 ohm Kanthal clapton coil at 35W.
PG/VG: 30/70
Steep Time: 4 and 12 Weeks
Aroma: Play doh, artificial strawberry, sugar.
Flavor Description: This is very clearly a fluffy fried (but not greasy) doughnut filled with a juicy and mostly artificial strawberry or red fruit jam type filling, rolled in powdered sugar. The powdered sugar is so authentic I can almost feel it on my tongue. The yeasty raised type of doughnut usually found with jelly filling, not the cake type. It's actually a very moist and complex flavor if you are one of those lucky people that taste the real thing instead of play doh with doughnut flavorings. Unfortunately, I have yet to find one at any percentage that doesn't bring back fond memories of arts and crafts fun with those lovely yellow tubs of rainbow colors. If you like CAP doughnut and others, you will like this a lot.
Off Flavors: Play Doh
Throat Hit: 2/10
Pairings: Strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, yumberry, boysenberry, bavarian cream, creams, custards, nuts, vanilla, just 1 or 2 drops of jelly candy.
Notes: I'm sad. Very sad.And jealous of all you lovely people that actually taste doughnut and not Doh. This is that perfect doughnut vape I've been looking for.
How does it qualify as the perfect donut vape when you get the playdoh taste?
Because for those that don't get that play doh flavor from fried dough flavors, this is a complex well balanced doughnut. From what I understand, I seem to be in the minority that is overly sensitive to something in the yeast flavors. So for those that like other doughnut flavorings, I think they will be very happy with this one.
All the doughnut flavors I've tried have playdoh notes, I actually just ordered this myself because I heard from someone that out of all of them it has the least (but still mildly there). Thinking about mixing a little bit of FA Joy and some INW chocolate cream... something else, not sure. Really want to make a doughnut flavor without the glazed or chocolate doughnut flavors that are usually used. I'ma taste a little in some cool whip first and see what I think it'll mix with.
I can't stand Joy, all I get is flat beer :( I'm glad it works for you. I've read that the Zeppola is supposedly just like the wOw without the fruit filling. I keep getting tempted to try it, but I KNOW I will only get play doh and it will never get used. Must RESIST temp t a t i o n!!!!
Haha I know what you mean about the flat beer I dont think I could use it as a standalone ( those posts about "YUM Funnel Cake used at 20%" and such kind of baffle me), but I only plan to use it in a suuuuper small amount. I have so many pastry and bakery flavors... I feel like when I take them all out I should be able to pair some stuff up in small amounts along with a good squirt of the wow and hopefully get that doesn't taste like cake or playdoh. I hope.... May just go back to cap glazed doughnut and cry.
5% is crazy high for this flavor, cut this back to somewhere around 2.8-3% and it is pretty spot on. This is one of my favorite single flavors from FA and I regularly have 100ml mixed up. Anything over 3% I find the jelly flavor becomes to dominant and you lose the subtle finer notes of the donut. At 3% I also get a nice shredded coconut flavor on top. This flavor is fantastic.
