3 new to me arrivals from MBV

[Dj tank]

Banana Cream Pie (off of a suggestion by another forum member) - 80/20, 3 extra flavor shots. Smells just like a fresh banana cream pie from Big Boys with a graham crackery undertone. Tastes exactly like it smells. Not too sweet or overpowering on inhale and you get a nice buttery graham cracker taste on the exhale. Some seriously good stuffs. This will be fun to experience a week from now after a good steep. Nice TH and Vapor.

Razzleberry - 80/20, 3 extra flavor shots - Smells like Raspberry Koolaid ...you know when you'd go to make Koolaid and put the packet in and you'd catch a whiff of it before you put water in? Exactly like that. Mouthwatering from the start. No steep on it yet but I dripped it and its got a developed enough taste that I put it into a tank already. Very fruity taste, a touch of sweetness but in just a perfect amount. Another winner!

Blueberry - 80/20, 3 extra - Smell like I opened a bag of Booberry Crunch...but doesn't taste like it in the dripper. Its a nice blueberry, again not overly sweet vape... This one I think needs a good hot water steep and a week or so resting. I love blueberry and its not bad out of the bottle...but I can see it getting infinitely better after its had time to sit.

Chai Tea was sent as a sample. It looks angry just sitting in its bottle. I'm a bit scairt to try it.

Sigh...no more packages coming in this week. But have some Unicorn Blood (and Purple Pieman) from coming (hopefully) next week. Although I haven't seen a confirmation its shipped yet. I hear they take a bit to make/ship.

I got sucker punch as my freebie this ( bought a couple of smoktech vivi novas), smells like sour grape, we'll see how it does in a week.

Ooooh, you need to suck it up & get past the skeertness. I wanna know about the chai tea! I love the drink, but it would be interesting to see how that translates into a vape.

Excellent review on the other three. *thumbs up *

I didn't know MBV had chai tea, that sounds delicious

I'll throw it in the dripper tomorrow and report back.

I tried it out this morning. I've never had Chai tea before so I can't really compare it to how the tea tastes. In the bottle it doesn't really have a smell. It looks very dark and ominous in the bottle... I threw 4-5 drops in the a atomizer this morning... It was actually not bad at all. Without any steep it tastes very similar to the old fashioned BlackJack gum you can get at convenience and gas stations. A kind of clovey-ish/spicy/earthy taste. I'm kinda looking forward to see how it is in a week or two after steeping. Good TH and vapor...smooth and not harsh like I had expected.

I absolutely love chai tea, it's an amazing, relaxing drink. I will definitely have to check that one out. I really liked your reviews on the other 3 that you got. Keep reviewing your juices, gives people something to go on and it's a big help.

I've tried out about 15 or so different juices...none really worth noting. I hate giving negative reviews because what I find not good, someone else may think the world of.

I will say two others that I think are awesome...

Hawaiin Sunrise - Roar Vapor - I tend to dig the sweet tropical tastes and this one is by far my favorite juice to date (60 days so far vaping )... So much so, that I've ordered (and gone through 200 ml) of it. I get it 70/30 pg/vg @ 18 mg. Its hard to pinpoint all the flavors (you can read the 50+ reviews on Roar's site for it and see what others think)... I like it because it has a nice crisp banana taste to it. Some of the other banana juices I've ordered taste flat or creamy...this one is not super ripe but not flat...just right in the middle. I'm guessing it has a slight bit of other stuff (coconut...but hard to notice...I think this might be what gives it a sharper flavor)... At any rate all I know if when I vape it I close my eyes and think banana daquiri or something tropical like that. I never get tired of it...its literally always in my tank. Nice crisp taste on the inhale and a smooth tropically drink taste on the exhale. I mix it sometimes with Mt Bakers - Get Razzled to throw some berry taste into it to change it up. This one is good on arrival...but throw it in a hot water bath...shake it up good, let it sit a day or two, and the color gets nice and golden in the bottle. Even better a week into it. I normally order 2 - 55 ml at a time now so ones steeping. Mellow tasty throat hit and plumes o' vapor.


Strawberry Cantaloupe - Roar Vapor - Tastes (to me) like a strawberry pez candy. Citrusy on the inhale and exhale - but definitely stronger strawberry tasting than cantaloupe tasting - but you get the cantaloupe more on the exhale. Makes my mouth water just smelling it. I get this in 70/30 as well same nic as above. Roar has a menthol option...I don't care for menthol so I don't add it. Its another great vape...but I don't hit it as much as it can irritate my throat a bit if I try and vape it all day. Thats just me though... I tend to vape this one in the afternoon for a change up for my tastebuds. Another nice one to mix with Hawaiin Sunrise (3 parts Hawaiin and 1 part Strawberry Cantaloupe)... This one definitely needs a good steep...decent out of the bottle...but better if hot water steeped a few times and left to sit in a dark place about a week.

I don't understand the whole steeping thing. I just thought juices came ready to load and vape. How do you steep a juice?

 

[bigchefjoe]

Some, but not all vendors, don't mix their flavors until you order them so you have to steep them.

You can let it sit, in a cool dark place. But this is what I picked up off ECF and works well for me. When they first arrive I shake them up for a good minute. I'll take a bowl big enough to hold 2 or 3 - 30 ml bottles and fill it with hot water from the tap. I'll put my bottles in a zip lock baggie (so the labels don't get wet) and seal them removing all the air out of the baggie. Pop them in the water and let them sit for an hour. I'll dump that water and fill it again with more hot water and give them another hour. Then I shake them up again...take the cap off, and take the dripper cap off too (if you just bend it to the side it comes off)...that gives a larger opening for the juice to breath. I let it sit on my counter (or at work on my desk) for 4-6 hours. After that I recap them...shake them up again. Most for me are pretty good to go after that...but they still seem to mellow out more and more as time goes by. Some juices that may taste perfumey when first arrived tend to change and the perfumey-ness goes away.

The worst steep time juice I ordered was Grants Vanilla Custard...came all the way from the UK. It had a 2 week steep on its trip to me...and it was not appealing on arrival. Smelled awesome...but tasted so harsh...made my throat hurt. I just pulled it out of dark storage (after 4 more weeks of sitting) and its amazing how much different the smell/taste/color is now. So smooth and tastey now...never would even think it was the same juice that arrived 6 weeks earlier.
