The three new flavors will be Sugar Cookie, Cake Batter and Hot Cocoa. I will try them out tomorrow and let you know what I honestly think.:)



I'm glad you emailed him, but you won't hear back from him for at least a week unless his assistants answer for him. He is on vacation now. Maybe you could re-send that same email every day you don't get a reply. That's what I do when I don't get answers - I just keep sending every single day until they get so blasted sick of seeing it that they answer it. Randee will answer it if you call the toll-free Capella's number and choose Sales when you get the option.

I asked Tom the very same question, Shiloh, and he answered me to my satisfaction, but I think it is best if you ask him for yourself. You may be more tactful than I was. I just asked him, "Tom, do you use any flavoring molecules from China? He was absolutely horrified, lol.

WTF ,how do you know about them . Spilling top secret info lol. Yup i have and approved all three . Im glad tom liked the names i gave them. They are all awesome flavors . Hot cocoa is by far the best capella chocolate imo.

Yea Tom is very aware of the Chinese perfumer ingredients and wont touch them with a 10ft pole. Capellas adheres to strict guidelines so they wouldnt even get away with using them.

I have always gotten emails back within hours of emailing them from either tom or randee going back all the way to my very first email to them . They have truely amazing CS

Oh yeah, one more thing I forgot to tell y'all - eek!

You're probably not going to like this because it may mean slower Capella's service again. Anyway, a new book came out in print today. I've been on the internet today trying to find it - can't find it @ Amazon. This new book has 500 recipes in it using Capella's flavorings. When the diet crowd gets this in their chubby little hands, Capella's is going to be totally flooded with orders. So, if you're planning on ordering in the near future, you might want to order sooner than later. Just sayin .... :D

For the Capella's ranks, I wrote them this week and asked why the bottle says "product of America" and not "made in America" with the city and bottling location on the label-- and does that mean the base ingredients are from elsewhere, is the product made elsewhere and rebottled, etc. etc. Never got a reply so I guess that is my answer.

The FTC has specific rules for labeling I know that. I wanted a little more clarity about that but apparently they didn't want to give it. No snarky replies please just stating the term "product of America" is a bit murky and I wanted to know what the distinction is and what they had to say about their product.

Probably because they know who the troublemakers that like to twist words around are here. lol .

I asked Tom if I could share with the DIYers, and he said "yes." That Cake Batter smell is to die for - makes you wanna climb into the bottle, lol. If I wouldn't have been out so long today, and then had to do a lot of personal bookkeeping, I would have already mixed it up.

Don't feel bad Shiloh I wrote them two times awhile back and asked about any flavors that contain acetyl propionyl and/or acetoin and also never recieved a reply.

Thanks for that info AZPlumber. I don't think any more needs to be said. I was just stating this as its what my experience was--no reply-- and thought I'd let that be known. Also absolutely zero info on website about product origination. Thats why I wrote in the first place.

Thanks Seabrook for the info about him being on vacation. I'm still going to use the product with or without an answer. I was very tactful and really I don't mind if its not all American I just wondered what product of America meant exactly.

Tom also ignored two of my emails within the past two years - it really irked me too. If you ever feel like calling his toll-free number, he's available in the afternoons after 2:00pm. Before that he's in his lab.

Thanks Seabrook good deal--I think I will call--I'm in on the co op right now and will be receiving plenty more Capella's before long.

PS: I don't like not getting a reply either- good to hear it wasn't just me.

The white chocolate was the original name of Hot cocoa until i told tom Hot cocoa was a more spot on name.

Theres nothing white about it honestly. It tastes more like a malted chocolate than anything but there is a tone in that flavor that really seems off. Havent put my finger on it yet though. Just got back to vaping my regular stash dealing with the rash I got. Dr gave me meds and its already cleared up and no allergy to PG either wooot.

Off tone. I didnt get that , I actually thought it was by far capellas best chocolate to date. Iv vaped a whole lot of it already and its my goto chocolate flavoring from now on. Its spot on to Swiss miss hot chocolate.Its like when you make some swiss miss and you have that chocolate froth on the top . That chocolate froth is exactly what the flavoring tastes like to me.

ha! To me thats where the flavor falls a bit short. I see that they are trying for that frothy taste but it tastes more like creme brulee than marshmallow. That would be my only complaint. Other than that it is a very malty chocolate and has that density of the CFB in a way.

Tried to add some marshmallow but that creme brulee taste is still prominent.



Did make the Fudge Brownie. Had to up it to 20%. Its OK so far, but I just made it. Very possible it has to steep.

Your going to hate me when i recommend two weeks steeping but it is so tasty. You can actually taste the density of the brownie.

Two weeks of steeping ToweKnee? Maybe that's why nobody could find a chocolate they like - maybe chocolate is one of those flavors (like tobaccos) that really needs steeping. And maybe they dint wait the 2 weeks, but just tossed it instead and gave up.

The only reason I figured that out cause I misplaced my batch, Didnt find it until a month later and dripped it. Im telling you it was so incredibly rich it blew me away. Also keep in mind I dont do any hot baths or nuke em either. I just let them steep naturally. Mix a small batch of CFB and just put it away for 2 weeks and then try it. Would love to hear others opinions of it steeped that long.

I never toss any flavor out unless it taste like chemical or perfumes. I will always try to add something in it to improve.

I have definitely noticed a BIG change in the flavor of CFB the longer it steeps. Tried it at 3 days...kind of a burnt chocolate flavor (I did have to down the mix to 10%, I overshot my good spot at 15%). But the same thing after the reduction to 10%. After one week, what a pleasant surprise. Much more brownie like. Now it's been 10 days & much, much better. Now I wish I had enough left to go the whole 2 weeks...I've vaped all but about 1 ml of it because it's so good :( So I guess I'd better mix up more than a 5 ml test for the 2 week wait :)
Anyone want to lock my mix up in their vault for 2 weeks? :D
