Setup: Derringer RDA clone. Single SS Clapton 26g/36g, 6 wrap/3mm id (30-40 watts)
Testing: RF Sugar Cookie 2%, aged 1 day and 11 days
Flavor Description: This is more like sugar cookie batter than a finished sugar cookie. Got a real birthday cakey taste. Not very buttery though. Very sweet, you can almost taste sugar granules on the exhale. It’s lacking any crunch to it but the whole thing is really well done. This is a very good place to start for a sugar cookie base or to add a little something to your cakes/cookies. If I had to say this reminds me of something it would be a no name sugar cookie you’d find at a supermarket with a decent bakery section. No huge change in flavor with a steep, I had no problem S&V this.
Off-flavors: Tastes like cookie batter/dough so I guess that’s a little off.
Throat Hit: Nada
Uses & Pairings: The sky’s the limit here imo (I guess bakery is the limit in actuality). Add some FA cookie or JF biscuit for that crunch and you’re half way to a Royal Dansk butter cookie. This is going to be a great sub for cake batter/cake batter dip that contain DA/AP for those who are averse. I really can’t see where this wouldn’t fit considering it’s a sugar cookie and you kind of know what you’re signing up for.
Notes: I need to test this at lower % especially in some mixes to see what it can add. I feel like this is kind of what I wanted from CAP/JF yellow cake, I know that sounds weird but this kind of has that yellow taste you get from cake batter / sugar cookie batter. I can really see this working in a lot of recipes and I am sure many have picked it up when it was free a couple weeks back.
Obvious comparison is CAP sugar cookie, this RF is truer to what I expect from a sugar cookie. Where CAP is buttery and has amazing mouthfeel, this one is brighter and sweeter with a little less body. This won’t be as versatile as CAP’s just because for me Capella Sugar Cookie v1 is just not a straight sugar cookie. Capella’s is like some delicious buttery bakery beast that can be molded into other things like waffles, cakes, cookies, pies, cereals, custards and even ice creams. The RF sugar cookie is plain and simple a sugar cookie and will be slightly more limited in use.
Second Opinions: Couple notes on ELR about the VG based one, one states: Real Flavors recommend 8-10% going by my past experience I mixed this at 12% as I find I need a little higher personally.Shake and Vape , Deep Water Ti build .006 ohms at 55.0 watts.Nice strong , very sweet sugar cookies as in the homemade kind with lots of sugar on top.Nice doughy feel , best sugar cookie flavor I have found.Good enough standalone but can see lots of possibilities with this one.I would drop it in the 8% range though for a mix .
Notes on ELR about the SC version: Very nice Sugar Cookie flavoring authentic taste. Not enough depth for stand alone. Use as a base in bakery profile Eliquids. Works well at 2.5%, Shines at 3% of mix
Not a lot else out there. Here’s a link the to Real Flavors Page and their little blurb: Soft, moist holiday cookies with a sugary coating…there’s nothing better to enjoy with a hot beverage. Now you can get your fill of these classic baked treats without the calories.
They ain’t wrong I would recommend this to anyone.
edit: this is tested at 30% PG and 1.5mg nic
Nice review and man you nailed my feelings on CAPs Sugar Cookie being this ubiquitous thing that lacks definition but is still so good. I am itching to try this RF's as part of a birthday cake base.
Imo this Is much better than cap sugar cookie, and I have used well over 500 ml of cap sugar cookie so. There is that I love this stuff
It's really yummy. I'm actually sitting down now to do some mixing with it. Any recipes you'd care to share using this ingredient?
Yea I been subbing it in my butter cookie recipe
Vbic tfa. 2.5%
Rf sc sugar cookies 3%
Tfa movie butter. .75%
Tfa meringue. 2%
Or
Fa meringue 1%
Its a delicious shake and vape and 2 days in it's stellar you can sub a diffrent vanilla like cap vcv1 I used this before in case you test the pepper from tfa vbic. Let me know what you think.
This one does not taste like a Sugar Cookie to me. Better name for this flavor is Creme Brulee. It pairs well with V. Custard v1 CAP.
That's an interesting take on it. I'll try it out with some VC for sure. It's really cookie doughy to me and super sweet
Try Creme Brulee ice cream from your local shop, it will taste exactly like RF Sugar Cookie. RF also has Creme Brulee in VG form, it tastes the same as Sugar Cookie. Pairing with V. custard v1 gave me true, authentic milky pudding taste. Try to start from 1% Vanilla Custard and 0.25% of Sugar Cookie. Two flavors at such low percentage gives very RICH milky pudding taste.
This was one of the first flavours I bought and I've had no luck with it. I was using at 1.5-2.5% and found it a little harsh, I cant imagine using 12%! I tried combining it with different RF SC fruits and never made anything remotely good. CAP V1 has worked great for me in almost everything
