Anyone else feel like Mt BakerVapor is just so- so?

[Vapo Marx]

I ordered a bunch of flavors from MBV and after five weeks of steeping (one week with caps off), I've just gotten around to trying them. I'm only three flavors in so far but I found them OK... Not great, not terrible. Vapeable. I still have many flavors to go before I decide if I'll be ordering again. I've been into NETs lately so my tastebuds are kinda spoiled for "lab" juices but maybe I'll find something in there that's pleasant enough to vape on a regular basis.

MBV definitely gets an A+ for shipping/customer service, though. And even if I don't find a juice in their line-up that I really like, they certainly fill a need in this market.

i just love how some people think they can speak for the entire world on what they should or shouldn't like.

Given that MBV has a bazillion choices, there's going to be some that are so-so or not to everyone's liking. I tried several of their flavors and ended up liking one a lot so it's now one of my ADV's. I can't say there is one juice vendor that I love their whole line up of flavors.

 

[Vapo Marx]

Been working my way through the many MBV flavors I bought and so far, I'm just not feelin' it. There may still be a pleasant surprise awaiting me in this box o' bottles but my optimism is fading.

I stand by what I said earlier, though: they appear to be a good company and fill an important niche in this market. I just don't think it's my niche.

MBV is great to find a couple juices that you really like and stock up for cheap. I personally like sticky bun and faux hawk sauce quite a bit but that's about it.

MBV uses Flavor West flavorings almost exclusively. Most recipes are single flavor mixes and they are not complex. But they don't charge boutique prices either. They are like Subway. It's fresh made, you pick the ratios, and the end product will never be a Ruth Chris fillet mignon.

Price wise they are the best. Taste is subjective. Look at all the brands of cigarettes we all smoked. I found several at MBV which taste great to me. Cinnamon Roll, Cheesecake, and Strawberry Cheesecake are my favorites. I've tried other gourmet vapes which tasted horrible and 3 times the price. Right now I'm down to 3 companies, MBV, Ahlusion, and Hurricane Vapors. The latter 2 provide glass bottles which makes me think the juices will hold their flavor longer. One thing for sure no one beats MBV in processing and shipping your order. The born on date is handy for aging the juices as well.

I fail to see the logic behind such posts as this that simply wish to bash a vendors juice. Taste is subjective, not everyone is going to like all the juices of any single vendor and anyone that says they do is well, let's just say not telling the truth. Just because you don't care for a particular vendors juice is not a reason to go bad mouthing them and honestly it really is not a good reflection of the person doing that bashing. If a vendor is ripping someone off or has deceptive practices this would be useful information, but just because you don't like a particular vendors juice is not useful, I don't care what you like or don't like, I don't tell you what to eat, where to eat or how to eat, I could care a less if you like this vendor or that vendors juice. Move on, act like an adult and get over it and yourself.

Again, if there is something that is productive, well that's fine. It just never ceases to amaze me that people seem to feel the need to bash someone or something just because THEY don't like it, well you may not but others do.

And most of the people that do the bashing have not taken the time read or understand what the vendors recommendations are, well that's your fault and yours alone.

someone brought up a good point in the mount baker thread. if MBV juice is so awful, why are they always scrambling to fill orders due to being out of stock? maybe cause somebody (actually a LOT of somebodys) are buying it and enjoying it?

 

[thewrightstuff]

I happen to be one of those that like MBV. I have tried many of their juices, some I like, some I don't like. I have found that some of them make great "mixers" with other flavors or juices. I have also tried some "designer juices" that I thought were unvapable, so its really up to persoal choice, isnt it ? They have AWESOME customer service, ridiculous shipping times, and great pricing. If you find a juice that you like from them, it is a great way to buy it in bulk for a great price.

Just my 2 cents.

 

[mcol]

MBV girl here. If people want to pay twice as much for juices that's your choice most
definitely, more for ME!!!!!! Ya'all do realize though that the secret is to steep them for
at least two weeks right? I order my juice a month in advance.

You said it man. I order from MBV, love at least 5 of their flavors and Bob truely said it best right there.

And if people eat fillet every night, and vape "fillet" juice every day- power to 'em!!
Some people do choose MBV, and e cigarettes in general because it can/should cost you less than cigarettes.

I've ordered some juice from MBV, some were good, some were ok. Only one (out of about 12) was awful to me. Obviously there are people that simply don't like MBV's juices but I suspect that there are some that look down on them simply because of their low prices. Price alone doesn't guarantee a damn thing. Like many others here, I have purchased juice that was far more expensive that was pure swill. Ptooey, yuck!

One thing I left off the end of my post was "....fillet mignon but if you figure out what you like it will always be a good consistent vape that doesn't cost an arm and a leg".

MBV is a perfect consistent high volume producer at low prices. They have a huge niche, great price point, and have excellent customer service.

The real money waster in this game is juice. I have a fail box filled up with juice from all kinds of vendors (MBV and expensive juice alike). If you can vape 3 mbv juices day in day out then you save a ton of money and are a happy vaper. Haters gon hate I suppose. To each their own.

I freaking love MBV. So hard. That is all.

Cake (Yellow)
Strawberry
Peanut Butter + Udderly Nuts
Butterscotch
Dutch Apple Pie
Cinnamon Roll
Sticky Bun

Exactly. Well put I'm frugal! MBV fills my niche. When I'm feel fancy, other vendors fill that niche

ive placed 2 large orders with them. Bought over 20 flavours to try.

Not a big fan of their juices really, yet their not that bad. out of the 20-25 i bought, i only care for maybe 5. Which are butterscotch, thug juice, cinnamon roll, hawk sauce, and afternoon delight.

Everything else i cannot stand. Their tobacco's are pretty bad, as well as coffee flavours.

Other flavours like peanut butter , berry creamy and caramel apple arent horrible, but i dont find them to be amazing at all. I vape them once in a while but never actively crave those flavours or want to purchase again.

 

[denmonkey]

had my first order of a dozen flavs arrive from them just yesterday (Australia) and can confirm their excellent delivery times also relate to international orders.
No freebies though even on 12 flavs. They do mention this on their site though.

Out of the mail box the bag smelt like a perfume shop. All sweet and nasty.
Not many of them actually smell anything like what you would expect from their titles.

I went with all flavours, so I could tailor to my desires and my like for strong E's.

Not having time to steep though, I have mixed a few small amounts of (awaiting bottles) and haven't been overly impressed but I think that's more down to no steep time and my mixing.

I can see why others have promoted their menthol though as the extreme ice is quite powerful and minty like

Their Honey right now tastes like A%..., Hoping that will improve

Black Currant, is not even close except maybe the slight after taste.

Maple is not sweet at all.

Sweet Cream was very creamy/buttery and not at all what I'm after in a EL. That's just me

Ecto - not bad. warrants more tries

Cinnamon red hot - real nice kick to this one but maybe a bit sweet. Although I did try that with extreme ice and grape . Tasted like bubble gum but too sweet. most likely my mix at fault though.

Butterscotch - doesn't smell or taste anything like it, so based on other reviews, I'll wait a while before i try again

coconut- not tried it yet but smells most like what the label says out of all of them

Pink lemonade- smells sweet and I think I like the bitter lemon taste in the background. keen to try after steeping

Green Apple- prob nicest out of the box. Nice subtle taste.

555 - not tried yet.

I've also got a 10 order coming of dekang juice to compare it to.
I only have ordered a handful of juice from here in Australia.
As ordering from Overseas introduces the additional cost of postage, their prices are even more attractive.

As I'm ordering flavours at like $2.99 for 15ml, I can get a dozen flavours for under 50 bucks delivered.
So I don't mind a bit of hit and miss for that sort of deal.
I'd be dirty though if I'd paid top price for that many bottles and found I disliked over 50% of them.

Based on their service alone, I'll most likely end up trying their entire catalogue. If nothing else I'll have plenty for others to try.

So thumbs up from me for MTBV.

I have about 70 "flavorings" from MBV that I will be mixing up this week (not all, but many) and I will mix at my ratio, not theirs

I have been vaping their 555 and RY4 "flavors" heavily for the last two weeks (after steeping them for over 3 weeks) and they are great imo, but when they first arrived they were terrible, they MUST STEEP

I plan on steeping everything I mix from their "flavorings" too (for up to a month)

Will try to give you all an update on this endeavor in 3-4 weeks, with ratios that worked or did not work
