With this question, you'll get a dozen or more different answers. I doubt it will help you narrow it down.

It will be hard to find a vendor with cheaper prices or faster shipping than MBV. But as far as quality goes, there are plenty of vendors out there with some really good juice.

Right now I'm currently obsessed with Heather's Heavenly Vapes Purity tobacco line. Dragon's Fire, Shadow, Legend, and Dark Horse have made it into my all-day, every-day, oh my gad I'm running low on my juices rotation.

Boba's, of course, but be careful if you order from alien Vision. I'd use a pre-paid card there. But Boba's is worth it to me. (To Me).

Mt Baker has a lot going for it; quality, variety, same day shipping and price. Most of my ADVs come from them...and when you can get 236ml for $37, well yeah that's a win in my book.

Ask 10 people what their favorite vendor, or favorite juice is and you're likely to get 10 different answers. Taste is subjective, and price doesnt mean jack in most cases. Good juice is good juice. If you paid $.25/ml or $1.25/ml, juice can be crap or it can be great.

I tend to consider a lot of factors in when considering where I shop online...price is only one part of the equation. Shipping speed and customer service are also very important...to me. Other's might not give a hoot about it. That's why MBV is at the top of my list.

Other places I like to get my juice from are The Plume Room, Timeless Vapor, Vapor..... ........just are few of my go-to vendors. I have a list as long as my arm of ones I never buy from again too. You need to poke around a bit, sample vendors...dont just take our word for who is good and who isnt. I could care less what other people think of a vendor, or flavor. What matters to me is what I think of them.

Good luck in your search :toast:

I am new to vaping relatively and have only tried one company so far. I look to try MBV soon though because their company rep is very high and they have a lot of different stuff to try. I am sure as time goes on I will try more and develop a catalog of my favorite vendors and flavors but I think for newish vapers it's a good place to start! :)

I've ordered from them a couple times, and price and speed can't be beat. I may order from them again, but going to shop around more first. Flavor is just as important to me as price, so I don't mind shelling out around $15 for a 30ml bottle if the flavor is right, which is twice what MBV charges.

I'm a tobacco person mainly and MBV is weak in that area. I really like naturally extracted tobacco (NET) flavors, which MBV doesn't do. Heather's Heavenly Vapes is really good. They have a great sampler pack too. Search this site for the 2012 juice of the year awards (sticky on the general forum i believe) to see a poll of best juices by type and vendors. It was very helpful to me.

Taste and the word "better" is a very subjective thing. I've got juice from Roar, Fuzion, Cloud9, DeKang, Tsunami, half a bottle of Pink Spot, and several other vendors. Some of them have flavors I like a bit better than others, all of them make at least one flavor I simply can't stand. I'm sure all juice companies are like this (I have not found a vendor yet that I could rave about *all* of their juices). Some are cheap, some moderately priced and some relatively expensive. MBV continues to earn probably 90% of my juice allowance though.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have a couple flavors I LIKE but want to find one I LOVE! Trying a sampler pack sounds good and dont think MBV has that..although they do give free 15 ml samples for orders over $15.

MBV is very liberal about customer reviews. One star up to five star, they are all there. Find a juice flavor you think you *might* like and carefully read the reviews of others. Some juices end up getting reviewed on youtube as well (from MBV and other vendors, of course). Ultimately it's the pleasant little place where your taste buds, wallet, and patience (for sometimes long shipping times) all come into balance, right?

I order probably 80% of my Juice from them. Customer service, shipping, quality, consistency are top notch. Price is excellent.

I get juice from ROAR (used to be RAWR) also. They have some amazing mixes, but they are slower and more expensive. I know this, but the juices are worth it to me.

I've ordered from Blue Mist Vaping in the past. Stumbled upon one there that I love, prices are good, but he is a hard man to reach if you need anything.

I get some from a B&M nearby that mixes their own. Expensive, but again, I love it. And I like supporting my local shops!

I've ordered from places people here LOVE, and will never order from them again. It took weeks to get the juice, and it wasn't all that great to me.

Is there better? I guess it depends on your "better". Shop around, don't worry, if you run low on juice, MBV is always there and can have your order to you in the blink of an eye!!

O2 thief....you got me wondering maybe thats why I havent found anything there that really knocks my socks off yet....got some clues on some places, more money but taste is more important.

Read the reviews at MBV, paying special attention to those that mention how many "extra flavor shots" people got and how they intend to adjust that number when/if they re-order. Extra flavor shots are only 25 cents each and each flavor may (or may not) require extra ones to really shine in the flavor department. I've never gone above four shots, although they offer five, and *none* of the bottles I've ordered have been even remotely "weak" in the flavor department. Even at a +$1 extra cost their flavor is still stronger than many of the premium juices I've tried... and usually much less expensive. ;)

YMMV.

I've ordered with 1 or 2 extra shots....maybe it would take 4? Good point. Even with the extra shots they are cheaper. I'm gonna try getting extra shots of ones I LIKE hoping it moves to the LOVE category...and also try out another place.

Some of my current favs... understand that I usually run 4 extra shots instead of 2 or 3 because I like 50/50 and sometimes water it down even further with extra VG for SLR vaping (half the nicotine). VG can mute flavors a bit. Extra shots help make up for that.

Absinthe (black licorice+): ZERO flavor shots! This stuff is strong!
Cider Fire: 1 extra shot. I ordered my first bottle with four and it's way too strong to vape. Had to dilute it.
Cinnamon Roll: 2 extra shots would make me happy. I order four because I vape this one a lot in SLR.
White Out: 2 extra shots. Very smooth and flavorful with 2 shots, four shots because I cut it in half with extra VG.
Caramel Apple: 3 extra shots. This one actually seems more flavorful "fresh". The flavor gets more complex with steeping but also seems to mellow out a bit. My first order was 2 shots, now I do 3 or 4 and let it steep.

Most of the fruit flavors like at least 2 extra shots, to keep my palette happy anyway. But that's the problem I've found with every fruit juice I've vaped so far, even those from ROAR (RAWR) and FuZion... Fruits just never taste fruity enough for me.

Lots more flavors and most of them have detailed reviews that can help you base your future purchases from. :)
