PG/VG ratio: 50/50

Throat hit: Moderate
Another more ambitious profile from this
bakery line. Doughnut is one of those
flavours that can easily produce some
undesirable off-notes if it’s not balanced
correctly. The top note here is a warm
caramel. It seems to have a slightly darker
sweetness than what is found in Million
Shortcake, but not to the extent that it
begins to have bitter qualities. I’m not quite
picking up on the fudge note here, but this
may simply be due to the stronger caramel
note that’s on offer. This is supported by
a moderately strong bakery note, which
adds a fluffy texture to the profile. To
me, this tastes more akin to cake than a
doughnut, but it works well in any case. As
the name may suggest, Salted Caramel
Fudge Doughnut is quite a rich vape, but
it’s been executed quite well. Getting the balance right with cinnamon
in bakery vapes is always a difficult job.
I’m happy to say that the Bake N Vape
team have done well in this case. The
cinnamon top note is a bit more subdued
than I’m used to, but this is not a complaint,
since it gives the profile much more all
day vape potential. The spiced note is
complemented well with a subtle bakery
accent. This boosts the sweetness of the
mix, whilst acting as a bridge between
the other flavours. The profile is finished
with a light cream base that’s quite similar
to what is found in Rice Crispy Treats
& Vanilla Ice Cream. It bears the same
authentic dairy notes but is not quite as
potent here. The result is an interesting
cinnamon dessert vape, which doesn’t
become overbearing in the slightest.

PG/VG ratio: 50/50

Throat hit: Moderate
This is a slightly more laid-back dessert from
the Bake N Vape line. A grainy top note is
the star of the show here. It’s not something
we see very often in the vaping world, but it
works very nicely. I’m not sure if I would pick
it out as rice crispy treats without knowing
beforehand, but it certainly has the right
texture and is rather memorable. This is
complemented by a dense creamy base.
This has more of an authentic dairy cream
note than a sweeter vanilla ice cream, but
it works very well nonetheless, adding a
substantial mouth-feel to the vape, without
over-sweetening the profile. This is a moreish
dessert blend that is a good choice for those
who prefer simpler flavours.
Million Shortcake is described as a blend of
chocolate, fudge and caramel with a biscuit
base. This is an ambitious profile, since both
chocolate and fudge are notoriously difficult
to capture in e-liquid form. Caramel stands
out here, it’s a fairly light rendition, and brings
plenty of sweetness to the mix, without the
more bitter notes you would expect from
a darker caramel. This is supported by a
luxurious biscuit base which really sells
the bakery connotations, whilst adding
some body and texture to the profile. The
chocolate and fudge notes are more of an
accent, and I feel that’s for the best. They’re
definitely noticeable, but do not overpower
the mix by any stretch. This is quite rich as
dessert vapes go but should please many
vapers with a sweet tooth.
