I really wanted to like this. I bought two bottles of the stuff, one with 12mg nicotine and one without, both 80/20, no flavor shots. I let them both steep for 3 weeks. The one without nic tasted a little better but they both have this weird aftertaste that I cannot describe. It's like a bleachy salty butterscotch or something. Everyone claims to love this stuff, am I missing something?

I really like their cinnamon roll and mango. Wish I could get into this butterscotch because I love the taste and smell of butterscotch.

Most of their flavors have a chemical aftertaste to me, as well as taste "watered down". MBV is, to me, just a site to get you introduced to the online-juice world. That said, I didn't like their Butterscotch but out of the 20+ MBV bottles I have, I only liked Hawk Sauce (but even that to me has a perfume aftertaste and has zero throat hit, weak flavor even with 2 shots)

I don't like it either which is a shame because I love butterscotch candies. But I don't think it's mount baker's fault. I've tried two other juices from other vendors that had that same taste to me - one a 'butter rum', the other a bakery item advertised as very 'buttery'.

See what they have in common? :)

As it turns out, I have some TFA 'butter' flavoring which I hadn't opened yet. Yup, same funky smell. Evidently I'm sensitive to something in 'butter' flavoring. I'm sure I've tried other things that had 'butter' flavoring in it, I think I only have a problem at higher concentrations. Bummer.

I know exactly what you mean. When I first tried it I could only describe it as a baking soda aftertaste. So weird. I pushed through and it lost that aftertaste after a few more draws. I haven't revisited it since that night and it's had a few more days to steep, so we'll see.

Butterscotch is my favorite candy. There were over 230 reviews on MBV website and I looked at every one. There were less than 10 negative so I purchased a 15ml bottle. On delivery it was really bad. It has been steeping for 2 weeks and I tried it again today and I am disappointed. It's a lot better than it was but nothing to reflect over 200 5 star reviews. I'm going to give it another week and if no better it goes to the "do not vape" box.

MBV was my first online order of juice. Got three 30ml bottles and i couldn't handle any of them. Tasted thin, Lacked flavor and zero TH. The Hawk Sauce was, to me, the worst of the bunch. Four months later they sit on the shelve and taste just as undesireable as the day i got them. Never went back. A lot of people seem to enjoy them though.

I too was a bit disappointed in the butterscotch flavor, but I have another one from a different vendor that is much worse and it cost twice what MBV's did. It has been steeping for about 3 weeks and it is better but still has a chemical taste. I will finish the bottle. I also read all the reviews and thought with this many 5 star ratings has to be spot on.

agree---I just use the MBV to mix with other things occasionally. Most all I received were very weak on taste and even after steeping had a strong chemical taste and smell.



I did the MBV for a few orders and they all taste the same. They use some strange PG or VG and they all have that same taste. I switched to a different vendor.

I recently received my first MBV order which included Butterscotch...I vaped some almost right away and it definitely had a harsh, chemical aftertaste but I could definitely taste a strong, clear butterscotch candy flavor. I haven't vaped the whole tank yet and it's already getting better. A (non vaping) friend asked for a hit and she liked it a lot. I expect that it'll improve and it may become one of those "must haves" in permanent rotation. It's amazing how subjective taste can be...

Let me see if I have this right, only the butterscotch is not so great?

I have read hundreds of post that clearly state all juices from MBV are of extremly poor taste. Many say that they tried many of thier flavors and they were all terrible and that they are a waste of money.

What I fail to undestand is if their ejuices aree so bad how have they grown from one person to a company with over fourty employees is a few short years? They sure must have a lot of folks fooled.

they have a niche market they are superior in giving cheap pricing for cheap product
taste need not apply
