Capella (NEW) Single Flavor Tests by SessionDrummer

Thank you, SessionDrummer!
I did trim the tops a bit and it seems to have improved a little. I think I could go with a little more cotton next try as it did move through the coils pretty easy while adjusting.
Practice, practice!

@gloopdegurp whenever I run verticals, I always trim the tops (above the coils) to flush with the coils, as there’s not wicking on that side of the coil, and can lead to burning.

@gloopdegurp I don’t know how much time you have with the RDTA v.1, but because it does NOT have juice flow controls, wicking (or lack thereof) is totally controlled by your wicking, and thickness of your liquid. If you ever seem to be having a wicking issue, you can cover up ALL of the air flow holes, and take a puff (not while firing), and next thing you know the air bubbles will show up, and your BACK to wicking again.

Thank you for that tip, SessionDrummer!
I haven’t run into that issue yet, though good to know if/when I do.

Mizer was in my rotation for a bit the middle of last year but as I accumulated more gear he hasn’t seen as much use. Once I nail the wicking with the verticals I think he’ll see more use.

I’m not sure if you are from/travel in my area (SE Pa. - read something in another thread and thought maybe so), but I actually found my two V1.0s last year at The Local Vapor in Doylestown.

I’m down in Tax Free Delaware, and don’t get up to Doylestown as much, BUT that shop looks legit.

Yo SD, it would be a great idea if you were to pass on what I’d call nuggets of information to new/other testers. Like I mentioned here.

You’re pretty much THE standard for reviews :pray: I’m thinking VC and a new one (FLV) here.

Chocolate Coconut Almond (CAP) 4% (1-27-23) – CAP Chocolate lovers rejoice, as we’re coming back to this one. I pushed it further down in the list, rather than test 3 chocolates back to back. Starting with fresh eyes (tastebuds) on this one, revealed yet ANOTHER great chocolate flavor from Capella. This one was different from the Chocolate Fudge Brownie, but very similar to the Chocolate Caramel Nut, as expected. The chocolate was very rich and full @ 4%, and was light enough to squarely place it in the ā€œcandy barā€ realm. What was interesting with this flavor was the way the Coconut (and Almond) were ā€œmeldedā€ into the chocolate. The choco WAS the main player here, and although neither the coconut or almond were OVERTLY present, they were in there. I wouldn’t call it a spot on ā€œAlmond Joyā€ which I had suspected, but it was more of a great candy bar chocolate TEMPERED by a Coconut, with a SLIGHT Almond kiss on the finish. It is, and was a great flavor, and even after 2 testers, I couldn’t fully PULL the coconut out of it, but it’s effect on tempering the chocolate was evident. No greasy or oily notes from the coconut, which when it peeked out, was more of a sweetened flake coconut. The Almond was even more elusive, and could JUST be detected on the finish. If I had to ROUGHLY describe the supporting flavor ratios, I would have to go with Chocolate 60%, Coconut 30%, and Almond 10%, just to give you a ROUGH idea. Nothing off-putting out of place, and it was a tick or two above mid level sweet. Overall it was a very tasty, even keeled, and smooth mix, and I contemplated whether or not it needed more coconut, and almond, but in the end, it felt smoothly balanced as is. No real takeoffs, except for somewhat diminished coconut and almond. Leaving this one @ 9.0/10.
