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

[MaxUT]

I didn't see MBV Amaretto mentioned. I thought this one was pretty flavorful and true to taste with no extra flavor shots and the most notable thing is, it has a great throat hit even at 12mg. I've been adding it to my plain tobacco juices and went back to order a big bottle.

All of the other flavors, also 12mg, were ordered with 1 flavor shot:

Afternoon Delight was pretty good, along with Peach Rings. I'd order both again but probably with 2 shots.

Spring Break had too much of a honeydew rind taste to me.

Orange Dream Bar had a distinct orange oil (peel) taste. I added about 20% Whipped Cream which made it smoother and creamier.

I received 10 bottles of juice from MBV as a brand new vapor....They were very well steeped and found I did not like any of them(paid them foward to another new vaper) That being said since then I have found I DISLIKE high VG juices(something about the coating they leave in my mouth). I am considering placing an order with high PG to see if my experience differs. I have been lucky to find a vendor where I do like over 90% of the lines they sell but they are a boutique vendor (both cost and slow arrival). To find a cheap quick juice that I can vape during the day and keep my boutique juices as a treat in the evening would help the budget

I know they do fill a niche, but not mine. They are the reason I got into DIY. The dissapointment of most of their flavors, no matter how long they were steeped forced me to jump in to DIY. I am a happy camper now...... so I guess I need to thank them for that.

Im not trying to be "Hating"......I really wanted to like their juices. The owner is a really great guy. It was just too few and far between for me.

I ordered 2 flavors from MB, the bottles are still just about full sitting on the table ! YUK ! the tobacco tastes like Licorice and the mudslide was not real good compared to the ones I mix myself . sorry MB great prices but taste not really good .

 

[whodat2112]

I like their cinnamon roll, orange dreamsicle, maraschino cherry, and RY4. Their tobacco flavors are not very good.

Like other posters have said, this is NOT meant as "hating" but just my honest experience. I didn't care much for their juices, either. I know a lot of people do, and I am glad that they do! The sweet flavors were tasty, but just too sweet for me. The RY4, to me, tasted like bad incense smells. It was actually the first RY4 that I had tried. It made me mark the flavor as a whole off of my "to try" list. Boy am I glad I gave RY4 another shot, as it is my current favorite.

I am sure that MBV makes a juice that I would just love, but I haven't tried it yet.....

Is their RY4 unvapeable for anyone but me??

Personally, I hate probably about 80% of the juices I've tried from any vendor.

I'm ambivalent about the next 15% or so -- don't really like 'em, don't really hate 'em, but wouldn't order them again.

There are, in short, only a small handful of juices I've genuinely liked, and I'd have a hard time telling you what exactly separates those from the others. It sure ain't cost, and it sure ain't reputation. Vaping flavors aren't like food flavors; you can't look at a bunch of reviews for a given juice mix as you might regard reviews for a steak house or a Chinese restaurant (and believe me, relying on reviews for food is spotty enough). You either like the juice or you don't, and you can't know until you try it.

So with all of that in mind, and given the sheer variety of juices that MBV carries, I can't think of a better place to start the endless search for good juices. Worst case, you end up with a selection of fall-back and/or giveaway juices without having broken the bank. And there's a chance you'll find a couple of gems -- juices you can vape contentedly over the long term for like $0.17 per mL.

Your mileage may vary, and don't get me wrong; MBV isn't the only good vendor out there. My current favorite juice is from Halo, in fact -- but in my experience, there are just as many duds and disappointments waiting for you in expensive bottles as there are in MBV's. To say that tastes vary in a vaping context is to make a giant understatement.

I really, really wanted to like MBV, too. Their prices, shipping, and customer service are outstanding. It's just the flavor I don't care for. I tried a bunch of different flavors, many with tons of recommendations, and even after steeping for a long, long time (several months, in some cases), I've only found one that I actually like--butterscotch. I had really hoped to like them, but many people do, and I was at least able to give away most of my "rejected" juice to friends! I'm discovering that I have somewhat of a picky palate as far as chemical and synthetic flavors go, so some of my vaping friends and family get a lot of free juice! They don't complain about that!

...based on 2 out of 300 flavors. Yup they suck.

I'm not a tobacco fan but I do enjoy Hangsen RY1 @ 2.8% 70/30

MBV RY4 is almost vapable to me but with not when I have 75+ MBV/FW flavors that I actually like or love

 

[OlDogNewTricks]

They are a terrific supplier. Not the most innovative but reliable and awesome to work with. They are my first suggestion for new vapers. You can always experiment with more sophisticated juices later but for a person looking to get off the cigarettes, they are a hard act to follow. Remember, there is something for everyone. Just because you moved on, doesn't make what you moved away from bad. Just my two cents, good luck and have fun!

I've made several orders from MBV. Most of it DIY but I didnt understand the importance of letting DIY stuff steep. I made 6 bottles of berry menthol, 2 of each flavor. I put three bottles away and vaped the other three immediately after mixing. One of the bottles, I let sit in my car.

Over the course of a few weeks, the one in the car turned dark. Yes, I understand this is not a bombshell. By the time I was down to the last 3rd of the bottles, I was able to add a dash of menthol and fill them back up.

With that being said, even their fruit DIY stuff should be left to sit or you will overmix them. However, its always been great right out of the box.

As far as their proprietary juices, I've loved my 30ml bottle of Ecto Juice. Its true to its name. This thread just reminded me that I had some Thug Juice sitting away. I dont remember particularly liking it at first but I guess I should give it a shot now. Cinnamon Roll is fantastic, as are most of their bekery flavors.

I would think that the price of MBV would not be for their lack of a quality product. You're getting it fresh, in no fancy packaging with the stipulation that you let the flavors settle for a while. If this is not for you, go with a Halo or something from Alien.

My take is this: I'm a cheap ....... and their juice is commensurate with their prices. I view juice kinda like wine. There's always going to be better more expensive stuff out there, but half the fun is finding the great bargains. Some of there flavors are pretty men, but think Hawk Sauce and Thug Juice to be great bargains. (But still not as good a deal as diy, something that's a little tougher to do with wine ;-) )

Some of their juices are hit or miss. I have found that some of their flavors taste like $#%&$@ out of the mailbox but after letting them steep a while are vapeable. Their prices are low enough to allow me to order a few of the same flavor but with different options (pg/vg ratio, flavor shots) to see what works best.

Candy Cane, Green Apple, Lemonade, Grape, Peach, Pear are great imo with 5 flavor shots. I order those all the time. Tried those same flavors from some "gourmet" vendors, costing way more $$ for less quantity, and didn't care for them even though reviews on those gourmet juices were great..

Their speed in shipping is amazing and their customer service is fantastic. Not only do they give me a free bottle of juice (min$ required) but they periodically upgrade my bottle size; my 30ml bottle order becomes 50ml! Now that's customer appreciation!

This reminds me, I have some bottles of Thug/Hawk/Ext.ice that I need to PIF to someone who loves menthol.

Mt Baker vapor is a dating service?

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

Okay, here is my first review of MBV DIY flavorings:

"MOO JUICE"

I First mixed it at 10% 80/20 18mg, let it steep for two weeks and it was very week.

I went back and increased the flavoring to 20% in the original mix, thus cutting everything back resulting in a 71/29 14mg mix and let it steep another week (capped).

I loaded it up in a cleaned ProTank using an eVic (very great mod, and you will see why below).

At 5.5 ohms it was tasting like it had some kind of alcohol taste to it and burning my tongue. So I think I needed to let it steep some more, but knew it had already steeped for weeks.

Here is where my eVic showed it's great features off as I played with its many settings:

1.9 ohm coil
4.35 volts
10 watts
2 second automatic burn time (I press the firing button and the device burns for 2 seconds WITHOUT my finger on the trigger so I do not over-burn the juice)

The Results:
Tastes EXACTLY like it smells (and I love that great Moo Juice aroma) in the bottle. The eVic settings gives me a great big plume of smoke and perfect taste with only a 2 second burn.

I have went through an entire filled ProTank in a few hours as I can't set this great tasting juice down. The juice did NOT discolor as I neared the bottom of the tank and I just refilled it with another tank full of "MOO JUICE" from Mount Baker Vapor.

My opinion:
The "Moo juice" is a very complex flavor that needs to be vaped with a very complex device such as the eVic to achieve the perfect taste and plumes of smoke.

More reviews:
I have another FORTY batches of different flavors steeping atm and will return with the results on those as they mature.

I got my first order of MBV a couple weeks ago. The only "stock" juice I got was the 555. I let it steep for a week and it tastes like super sweet maple syrup. I'm going to let it sit longer but even with steeping I don't see how sweet maple can turn into anything resembling a 555.

My other two juices were "create your own" which I'm actually super happy with. The first is 50/50 part blood orange and clove which is really tasty. The other is prickly pear and ginger which I also quite like. As a sidenote for any possible fans on here, I looked to Dune for naming these: Melange and Arrakis Rose which I thought were cool names given the flavor profiles

 

[joeybear]

I'm relatively new, but I like their juices. I've only had one juice that has knocked my socks off and the second time I bought it, vroom the same maker, I wasn't impressed. I'll surely try more MBV.
