I'm familiar with everything in your cake base except the Nonna Cake, and going from that & what I've been reading about NC's intensity, I bet this cake base is light yet not too dry & moist as you describe, despite fairly low percentages. I love it when that happens--gives me a sense of efficiency or something. This is definitely going on my to-do list. Thanks for posting it!
Ya, it's a somewhat delicate/light flavor, definitely not "in your face." I would say that someone who's generally happy with
@HeadInClouds recipes would be fine with these percentages. For me, sometimes his percentages are fine, but often I want to increase them. And yet this recipe does it for me. It's a light cakiness, with a definite blueberry that blends in well. The blueberry kind of pops up in your perception here and there, on the inhale and exhale.
Honestly, both Nonna Cake and Yellow Cake are new flavors for me, and I'm still playing around with them. Nonna has a definite "pine nuts" spiciness to it, which took me about a tank's worth of standalone to get used to, but I'm liking it. Yellow cake is a much more conventional, well, yellow cake kind of flavor. But it's a bit too sweet for me in higher percentages. It's like a milder CAP Cake Batter, which is something I only use in small percentages. Again, I'm in the very early stages of learning these flavors, but I'm thinking a 4/1 or 5/1 Nonna/Yellow cake works for a really nice light cakiness. Nothing too cloying. Delicate, not too sweet. With the added benefit of not using too much Yellow Cake, whose sucrose or whatever it is seems to be less than ideal at higher percentages.
As somebody that has a little vape business in central Mexico, which caters mainly to expats, old folks who are trying to quit cigarettes after decades of use, but also some younger people and Mexicans as well, I'm hugely curious about how people perceive the flavors they vape (obviously, this forum has been such an amazing resource).
Like, for instance, I'm currently using NicSelect nicotine from ECX. It has a strong smell, which I don't like, but seems smooth enough when vaped (I'm about to use the rest of it, and have a liter of NicSelect from Nicotine River in the freezer I'll be switching over to). So, if I haven't vaped for a half an hour or so, it takes 5 or so vapes for this flavor to smooth out and really come through. It makes me wonder if that's normal, or if nic from like Vaperstek would eliminate those first couple "harsher" vapes (though I've read some perspectives here that VT nic is mainly hype). There's just so much to learn and experiment with. So many variables!
