🐐 Aroma (Raw Sniff)
Bright, sharp cherry — tangy with a bit of that candy edge. Not quite cough syrup, but you can tell it’s got some artificial lean. Smells like a cherry sweet-tart melted on a windowsill.
Flavour Profile (In Vape)
Inhale: Tangy cherry zing right off the bat — definitely tart.
Exhale: Sweetness comes through and balances things out. There’s still a sharpness, but it’s not painful. More like the tart skin of a ripe cherry than a sour bomb.
Aftertaste: Slight cherry linger, just a touch dry.
Sweetness: Medium — tart up front, sweet on the tail.
Off-notes: Slight medicinal edge at high percentages. At 2%, it’s clean enough.
Mouthfeel: Bright and juicy, but not thick.
Label Accuracy:
It is a tart cherry. Capella wasn’t lying. You’re not getting dark black cherry or syrupy pie filling — this is more of a zingy top-note cherry that brings brightness to a blend.
Accuracy Rating: 9/10
Standalone Usability:
Surprisingly vapeable on its own — if you like your fruit vapes punchy and mouth-watering. But the real strength lies in using it to add lift to flatter cherry or berry mixes.
Standalone Rating: 7.5/10
Mixing Versatility:
Pairs beautifully with other cherries like Amarena Cherry (FA) or Black Cherry (FW) to round out a full cherry profile. Also works well with apples, cranberry, or cola to boost tartness and pop. Adds sharp contrast to creams or dark chocolates, too — but use with restraint.
Versatility Rating: 8.5/10
🐐 Overall Goat Score:
8.5/10
Tart Cherry (CAP) might not be your solo star, but it’s a hell of a supporting act. It brings brightness, a pop of acidity, and a little sass to otherwise flat mixes. The Old Goat says: a splash of this can wake your whole recipe up — just don’t let it run the show.
