NEW Capella Flavors Reviewed by SessionDrummer -- Testing Now!

@Lynda_Marie did @wllmc say which ones they WOULD be carrying, as I’m still fielding questions. Allen from Capella couldn’t really answer which or what the resellers would be carrying, as it’s up to them.

Wild Raspberry (CAP) 4% / 6% (1-14-24) – All cards on the table, every time I test a “Wild Raspberry” I am always comparing it directly to the king, MF Wild Raspberry. So ANY WR has a big hill to climb. This one seemed to have a few Raspberries present, and it did have a “dirty” slant to it. Now I’m sure most times you hear “dirty”, it is probably a con, but with this one, it was a pro. Dirty, meaning it wasn’t a clear profiled RB, but went in a few directions. Not muddy, muddied, or muddled, but far more complex. The thing I liked the most was it wasn’t like any other RB I had, and that is always promising. It had some hints of a red RB, but also some darker berry elements, and with some slight wine notes, and a good tart finish. It had a few minor aspects of a blue raspberry as well, but only minor, and they added to the mystery and complexity. Even though it was a medley, it still stayed fairly on track for a RB, and sweetness was a few ticks below mid-level, and the sour/tart was nicely balanced without being overbearing. It leaned more towards a natural, with some light candied elements thrown in as well. Very easy to enjoy, and very hard to explain. At 4% (repeating), it felt like it needed more, and 6% seemed to do the trick. All in, it was a good showing from CAP with a medley of Raspberries, along with some darker berry notes, and a pinch of tart. Although different than CAP’s Shisha RB, I’m rating this one even with it, and leaving it at a solid 9.0/10.

Tropical Mango (CAP) 4% / 6% (1-15-24) – Finishing out this NEW Release Series by Capella with this one. I have to admit when I read “Tropical” I was intrigued. You’ll have to read on to see if this one is a trainwreck, or a superhero. 3 testers later, I’m STILL not 100% sure if this one works/worked or not. Starting off it WAS a mashup/medley, so if you’re looking for a Mango mango, this ain’t it. It was pretty hard to nail down EXACTLY what was going on with this one, as Capella did a great job of balancing notes with this one. I finally settled on a three-way mashup of a Mango, Pineapple, and Coconut. Coconuts can be an “oily” or “suntanny” bunch, so like most others, it was lower in the mix with this one, and the Mango and Pineapple were fairly even, riding over the Coconut. They WERE indeed mashed up pretty damned good, which helped conceal some of the finer details I could normally pick up. At times it worked pretty good, others, not so much, but an interesting design none the less. Sweetness was just below mid-level, and no real off-notes, except an occasional sour that did wax and wane, and didn’t stay constant. Like most of the other new Cap’s 4% was good, but 6% was better. Mostly natural with no real candied-ness, and the bits and pieces I got OF the individual fruits did taste fairly accurate. I will admit, it DID have a “tropical” vibe to it, BUT, the Mango wasn’t really the star, so, that may or may not make it one for you. All in, it seemed that it didn’t work for me, more than it did work, so I decided to leave it a little lower, at a 6.75/10. Not a bad tropical medley, just never really took off for me.

Thanks for hanging in there guys, and I appreciate your time in reading these, and I strongly encourage anyone else who gets, and/or test these to drop up YOUR thoughts on these. The word on the street it the final “approved” list is done, and Bull City Flavors should be getting these soon, and I assume other resellers as well.

Now that I’ve tested half of these…. This one made me think Kellogg Corn Pops!! I vaped the whole darn tester and got all nostalgic and what not lol I haven’t had a bowl of Corn Pops in years.

I got Mexican vanilla. Rather spicy, a bit creamy, the vanilla seemed a little artificial. Not a certain spice like cinnamon or clove, just a spice note. Pretty underwhelming and me being a vanilla freak, I’m disappointed.

I didn’t get a FULL ON Corn Pops, but I could see getting there VERY easily @Lynda_Marie.

I did 6% and steeped 8 days. It took me a while to get it, but I even had my daughter try (she only vapes mesh and commercial juice) but she got corn. Not 100% Corn Pops, but definitely leaned towards that rather than cereal 27/corn flakes. With the slight sweetness and all. Taste is so subjectively wild.

Yea I mean not 100% but after vaping the whole tester and adjusting wattages, I got that at 85 watts. Dead rabbit v2 dual tri-core aliens. :alien:

I can see corn somewhat because the grain is really sweet. I think we are all going too hogh on sugary cereal . I did 8 percent first and it was good initially but then steeped into horrible mildew taste. I then did at 6 and steeping better but i think its still too high. I think right around 3 to 4 on this one may be the sweetspot

The cooling killed it for me. It’s weird and out of place :grimacing: I wonder why they used a cooling effect?
