Getting ready to pick up my DIY supplies and was going to add a flavor but waned some feed back first.
Capella apple pie. How is it and is it a good stand alone and worth keeping on hand?

I have some, I thought it was pretty good but I never tried it as a standalone. Although, I'm a fairly big fan of testing mixes especially when I was new to ECF, so no reason NOT to try it as a stand alone you can always amend it as needed.

I'd say start a 20 or even 10 ml tester bottle and leave some room in case you need more of it (I'd say 10--12% is a reasonable STARTING point for DIY, if you are coming from storebought, but maybe test it on the lower end, as adding more of the flavor or more OTHER flavors, well, dilution is a whole lot harder than flavoring UP, so I'd say start low. Also, should you need sweetener, (I use CA Supersweet) that's pretty much shake and vape, so no steeping needed.

So if that's what you have on hand, I say go for it. Keep notes, and let it steep some and write EVERYTHING down.. The worst that will happen is you won't LOVE it as a standalone, and you may then want to add more things.

If I'm heading in to Brave New mixing territory, I still mix testers of standalone flavors, because while some things generalize, it it's a new maker or a flavor I am iffy on, I do a tester. There have been the occasional mixes where I HAVEN'T done that, and have been SORRY I haven't although honestly, I have also learned more by fixing failed mixes, so there's always that. The occasional failure keeps me on my toes and then I have to Do More Stuff (whatever it is) but it keeps me on my toes and whatnot.

Best of luck,

I was just really trying to get a flavor profile of it. Does it actually taste like a pie or just an apple vape. Does it have a bakery taste.
This is just one flavor I have never used and I also know Capella is not as forgiving mixing as some other brands.

The only Capella I usually keep on hand is Boston cream pie. I was browsing thru just to get my supply order up and saw the pic for the flavor.

EDIT: This is NT new territory for me. I have been DIY'ing for six years. Still have not tried every flavor though,apple pie s one of those.

If you're browsing CAP flavorings looking for a standalone...IMO, you should give Blueberry Jam a try, if you like blueberry jam of course. Because it tastes exactly like the real stuff, IMO. Some people use it alone, some add a little Marshmallow or TFA Vanilla Swirl to it.

Not so much that I was browsing for a SA,just adding to my DIY supply and the apple pie just caught my eye.

Cap Apple pie is definitely what I’d call bakery, not fruity. I made a tester at 5% flavor about two weeks ago. Far too much cinnamon for me. Otherwise it’s not bad and you can tell what it’s supposed to be. Might try some EM or marshmallow to knock down that cinnamon, hopefully without losing the apple as well.

Thank you that is what I wanted to know.
