Capella Stand Alone Flavors

[ctruth]

I have searched the Capella forums here, desperately trying to decipher the information to find out which flavors are "Stand Alone".
That is, flavors that can stand on their own merit and need no more than a VG/PG/Nic base to be pleasingly vaped.

I have read countless "[flavor]+[flavor]..WoW!!!" or just "[flavor]..Really Good", etc.
Or numerous recipes for flavor combinations.


After spending hundreds of dollars at Capella, I have narrowed down only two, true "Stand Alone" flavors - once again flavors that only need to be mixed with your base to be pleasingly vaped.

Of course, I would like to have been forearmed with such information as to which flavors were stand alone - and of course those would have been my first purchases from Capella, possibly saving me hundreds of dollars.

It would be nice of we all shared our pooled info, in the interest of saving time and money.

Below is my list so far:

Cappuccino CAN STAND ALONE
Carmel (weak)
Coconut
Banana
Banana Split (weak)
Eggnog
French Toast (don't know-on order)
Irish Cream
New Boston Cream Pie (weak)
New Graham Cracker CAN STAND ALONE
NY Cheesecake
Peanut Butter (don't know-on order)
Pina Colada (don't know-on order)
Simply Vanilla
Sugar Cookie (don't know-on order)
Vanilla Custard

I only found two so far, Cappuccino and New Graham Cracker.

What flavors have you determined to be "Stand Alone"?

Tangerine 15%

+1 on the Tangerine. I would also throw sweet strawberry into the list even though it's good in mixes.

You may want to note that the custard should be the V2 version if you want to avoid some of the Diacetyl concerns.

I've only let them steep a few days,but the blueberry cinnamon crumble and apple pie v2 both seem like they will be good standalone flavors.I have only dripped a few times with each so far,but i will be putting them in an rba this weekend to give them the full test.

Friggin' plus 1000 on the Tangerine. Just a great stand alone flavor although I mix at 8% or so on that one. Yum.

Also:
Sweet Strawberry
Pineapple
Apricot

I mixed the blueberry cinnamon crumble at 5% and it smells a little like blueberry on the exhale, but tastes like perfume. Can you share your percentage?

I agree on the capp and apple. Decent enough by themselves. I hope to mix some forest fruit and a bottle of choc almond coconut to try this weekend.

Just FYI for what that's worth, the chocolate almond coconut needs a good week to age. Off the bench it was vile to my palette. After a week the flavor was very nice but the vapor smells like swisher sweets still.

 

[firechick]

It's worth plenty to me. I appreciate the heads up! I'll take the first taste on the porch.

 

[DenaInWyo]

No one has mentioned chocolate glazed donut? Really? I get to be first?

I have added 1 or 2% of other stuff to this and still prefer it on its own. 15% is where I like it.

Have you let it steep?I made it at 10% and did 2 hot water baths right after mixing it,and now it has been sitting 4 days.I tried it in a dripper a few times today,and it has a pretty good blueberry taste,as well as the pastry type of taste,not really tasting any cinnamon yet,but a few more days may help that.

 

[GaryInTexas]

Raspberry
Apricot

Both at 15%

Is the apricot very flavorful? I have some from FA and don't get much taste from it.

It' been mixed since Monday, but it didn't get a hot bath.

Chocolate donut sounds pretty good.

I like Cinnamon Danish Swirl as it is solo.

 

[coalyard]

Sweet strawberry.
Lemon-lime.
Tangerine.
French Vanilla, but at 7%, not 15 like the others.

 

[Hoosier]

Another vote for Sweet Tangerine.

Many others are close, but I have to add something to make it just right for me.

Thanks to all contributors. My ratio of 2 out of 16 Capella flavors being stand alone, seems to hold true.
