That sounds really nice. Great review. No chance of any Aussie vendors getting it though, I might have to make a list for an overseas order some time…

Banana Cream (CAP) 4% (7-13-26) – Alright, I tasted something UNEXPECTED in this Banana Cream, and that was a BAKERY element !!! Wait, what ?? YES, a bakery undertone, and I didn’t see that one coming. Alright, everyone has probably tasted or used LA’s, and TPA’s Nana Creams at this point, very widely used flavors. Maybe Capella was trying to break new ground with this one. It was very much Banana’d and Creamy. The banana notes were a mix of artificial and natural, leaning artificial, but there were some nice almost puree notes in there that helped fatten up the banana profile. The cream, was actually more of a creamy overtone (not undertone) which smoothed the banana out.
Now what was interesting, was below the nanas and cream was a very persistant bakery note. Not off-putting, and strangly enough, didn’t taste out of place, which is/was unexpected. I couldn’t tell if it was a light graham cracker or not. It was interesting because it added some “weight” to the entire mix, gave it some heft, and helped thicken it up a bit. Again, not distracting, and strangely it didn’t seem out of place. At 4% it was great strength wise, no off-notes, and sweetness was just about mid-level. I don’t nana cream as much as I should LOL, but I couldn’t come up with any shoulda, coulda, woulda’s here. An interesting approach to a Banana Cream, with artificial and natural (puree) notes, smoothed nicely by a fairly rich neutral cream, with a surprisingly interesting bakery undertone. Because I deemed the “bakery” (possibly a light graham cracker) as a pro, not a con, I rated this one higher at a 9.2/10.

I mix the TPA banana cream DX with Bavarian cream DX and graham crust cheese cake. It’s absolutely delicious as a bakery. This sounds like it could save a step or two…

That sounds like a good morning coffee juice.
I keep trying bananas but they always have the banana runts type of taste, like I’m eating a bowl of runts.

There are ways to bend the runt taste.
Just add some taffey. This is a 70/30 mix so adjust to what ever percentage you mix at.

I’ve found that many taffy flavors tend to have an artificial, vitamin-like aftertaste. If this particular one avoids that, it sounds like an excellent addition to a mix!

Berry Blast (CAP) 4% (7-15-26) – Alright, this one surprised me, literally. Thought it was going to be some blah, blah, blah berry combo/mashup, BUT, I was WRONG. Wow, it was damned good and strong at 4%, and it slammed me with a Juicy Red Cherry, and Raspberry combo brick to the face !!! Now, I completely did NOT see this coming, and missed this when mixing these up. With the exception of a handful of great cherries, there just aren’t very many at all. Well add THIS ONE to your list right now. Now, it wasn’t JUST a cherry, and Red and Juicy were how it presented, so yes, I guess you could put it in the maraschino camp. It wasn’t a pure cherry though because CAP somehow SLID IN a raspberry beneath it, and did it in such a skilled fashion that it perfectly blended in just below the cherry notes.
I loved the Cherry profile from the start, so it was hard to NOT keep focusing on it. Even at 4%, there were NO: Medicinals, Florals, or Soapyness, none, nadda zip. It was somewhat candied, BUT, not a full on cherry candy. The raspberry/raspberries didn’t lean dark, but not fully red either, so it was a damned zippy little complex flavor to test. Could have been very light juicy strawberry notes, and maybe (just maybe) a smidge of tart apple in there, but hard to tell. Basically if you love cherries, and didn’t need a strict, purely natural cherry this one would work. At 4% it was about a 9.5/10 on the strength scale. YES, for a cherry !!! TBH, for my tastes, I could solo this all day no complaints. Somewhat candied, and a tick or two above mid-level, but still not cloyingly sweet. Very well done, no complaints, AND, no off-notes. A very nicely done Juicy Red Cherry, Raspberry combo with possible very light SB and bright apple undertones. A great, punchy “Red” summertime flavor. It wow’d me too much to NOT release the Kraken !!! 10/10. They should have called it Cherry Blast instead.

It was more of a joke regarding Medicine Flower—like Blue Andeze tasting like blue raspberry. I also vape flower, and flavor chase that, by the way.

Carolina Blend (CAP) 4% (7-17-26) – While admittedly being the WORST tobacco flavor reviewer, I WILL try LOL. OK, I couldn’t tell a Virginia, from a Carolina, or a Kentucky if you paid me. This one presented as a medium dark, fairly sweet tobacco with some nutty undertones, and light caramel notes. Not an RY4, but fairly sweet. It was fairly complex and kept wandering around while testing. I did get some lighter earthy tones, with a hint of “dirty” which kept it interesting. While tasting good at 4%, it felt a little “thin” and I’d give it about a 6/10 on the strength scale.
Because of that, I don’t think it could be the primary driver in a bacco mix, but would easily work in a lot of mixes. Sweetness was a few ticks above mid-level, so be advised. So, from this non-bacco review guy, it summed up as a fairly sweet, mid-dark tobacco, with some nice leaf, and earthy undertones, with a slight nutty-ess, and caramel, with a hint of some dirty ash thrown in. No off-notes that I could find, and the only complaint would be wanting a bit more saturation. “Pretty good” felt right for this one, and I finalized it at 8.5/10.

I just looked into the Kaya flavor and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts. Like Pandan, another Southeast Asian treat. This one sounds more custardy. I’m thinking back to the days of Vape Kitchen.

I wonder if I could use this to recreate Nilla Gorilla by ITC Vapes described as a banana pudding with vanilla wafers.
