Capella flavor opinions and help

[jgoss]

Not finding a current thread for capella flavor percentages. I just got these and don't know where to start:
French toast
boston cream pie
sugar cookie
vanilla cupcake
peanut butter
caramel
chocolate fudge brownie

French Toast 15% (+4% maple syrup, 1% butter YUMMY)
Boston Cream Pie 12% (but this flavor tastes different to everyone, for some that's not enough, for some it's to much)
Vanilla Cupcake 15% (or 12% if you want to add a fruit flavor to it)

10% vanilla cupcake + 10% boston cream pie is also really good.

I've found most of their flavors to be over powering. French toast at 15% tasted awful to me, even with a little maple syrup added. Had an eggy taste that was gross in vape form. Tasted nothing like the bottle smelled.

Chocolate fudge brownie takes over any recipe I put it in, even at 1%. I can't fathom how some of you brave mixers are using this at ~10%.

I do enjoy some of their lighter flavors like blueberry, but so far their desserts have been disasters for me. I'm not posting this to persuade people to stop using them, not at all. I'm just posting this as my honest opinion so readers can see that there are differences in opinion when it comes to taste. While most of you seem to have success with their desserts, I haven't.

I found the french toast to be very rich tasting in a dripping atty at 14%. I think it already has a maple taste to it. I do get some eggy taste to it, but it wouldn't be french toast without egg.
