Thanks out to u/wllmc over at Bull City Flavors for helping out with the sample pack for these reviews.
All tested at the listed weights, on my trusted SteamCrave RDTA v.1 with dual vertical Kanthal 24ga. coils. Typically tested @ 65 watts, using the 70v/30p3mg carrier base.

Pancake (WF) 3.5%/1.75% (4-2-22) – Alrighty, it’s GO TIME. After much peer pressure from @Lynda_Marie, I had to push this one to the TOP, as, well, I have a Pancake problem. Alright, you may notice I DUAL tested this one @ both 3.5%, and then dropped to 1.75%. I went through three testers to try and figure out what was going on here. It smelled VERY close to pancakes, but something seemed to get lost in the translation when tasting it. Not that is was bad, but it didn’t translate as well, as opposed to smelling it. I kept trying to nail down exactly what I felt to be missing, and after 3 testers, it seemed like it was missing the heavier bakery, lower level to ground it fully as a pancake. It had the mid and brighter notes, but just felt kind of ungrounded to me. Funny because it took 3 testers to even TRY to figure it out. Sweetness was about mid level, and it did have some buittery-ness, but without an overt buttery taste. No maple/ maple syrup notes, which did leave it fairly neutral. So the question, if it wasn’t a full on pancake , then what was it ? Maybe more of a light butter cake, or vanilla butternut perhaps. Again, not bad by any means, but I just wish that how it smelled completely carried over to how it tasted. Overall, to my tastes, it felt like it was 65-70% of the way there, towards a full pancake, so with that said, it felt fair @ 7/10.

Confused about my review format, scoring ? Get the full skinny.
Dappy, buttery, malty additive, for sure
YES u/eyeMsam89 !!!
I think it'll get used a lot in creams, ice creams, custards, and even built out with other cakes for an actual pancake, or waffle, without the maple notes.
I wasn't a big fan of TPA Pancake so maybe I will try WF. I've always noticed with them that they can really make good dessert type flavors, especially creams. I made a couple mixes with TPA pancake that wernt bad but they needed a long steep and the flavor was like the consistency of motor oil so I had to keep percentages low.
