Some like onions, I don't .. taste is subjective, especially when it comes to e-liquid ..
Anyone else feel like Mt BakerVapor is just so- so?

For me, I have to let their juices steep for 3 to 4 weeks.
And even after that, there are still some that never suite my fancy.
If I'm anxious or desperate for juice and vape them right out of the mailbox, that "un-steeped memory" stays with me and it becomes psychological.
Poor juice doesnt stand a chance at that point. lol

taste is subjective, but 99% of the time... a 30 day aged rib eye at a steakhouse tastes better than the one you pick up at your local supermarket for $9
Don't agree with this. I don't know how they age their stuff but I get some T-bone's from super target at about $14 for 18 ounce steaks that I grill up and they taste way better than any steak I have had the 3 times I have been to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse (I keep getting talked into going to this place for some reason).
As for MBV maybe they need to use less flavor so people can talk about the subtle notes they almost taste in their juice instead of the fact that they taste exactly like the flavors described. Then we can all feel sophisticated. But again to each their own and I only vape Candy Bar consistently from MBV although I just got Hawk Sauce which is pretty good but I am still on my apparently eternal search for a tobacco flavor other than the one I have found that I like.
I have tried about 2 dozen of MBV's flavors and some are great, some are just okay... And a few are yuck.
at least this way I can give new juices a try without going broke. One "boutique" vendor I tried cost me $45 in juices that went down the drain after a month of steeping/tasting that never did improve.
at least 90% of the MBV stuff is vapable.

I ordered a bunch of different juices from MBV, and I was pretty impressed. IMO the Caramel Apple is very good, the Green Apple, Hawk Sauce, Radbull, and Solar Flare are GREAT...but the Pineapple Upside Down Cake is AWESOME! I won't be ordering the Cream Soda or the Pina Colada again, but they are still vapable. Oh, and as others have mentioned, their Customer Service and Shipping is phenomenal! They always include FREE samples (your choice or random) with your $15 + order too! I will definitely be ordering from them again! 
I agree witht he hit/miss thing with most vendors. I have tried: Caramel Apple (Good), Rootbeer Float (NUMMY!), Butterscotch (Ick), Butter Rum (Ick), Sweet Cherry Bomb (NUMMY!), Banana Cream Pie (Meh), and Vanilla Butternut (Seems all butter, no hint of vanilla).
Now that "IBTanked", I'm going to try some of the other flavors. It's all been vape-able, but the "butter" kinds are too strong and are good for a hit or two before it's just too much. The butterscotch didn't taste like it should, but smelled fantastic.
If I can find a couple flavors I like there, like the Rootbeer Float (forever in my daily vape list), then it will be well worth the coin compared to other places.
Also, the flavors I don't much care for, I give to friends or people. I've gotten 4 or 5 in my apt complex on these and off analogs, so I just offer them a starter flavor for free to get them going. I just got another neighbor on an ecig and stopped analogs. Had smoked 41 years. I let him borrow a setup from me and provided liquid until we recieved his kit.
MVP gets an A+ from me.

Well, I've only been vaping for a month so my e-liquid palate isn't exactly what one could call refined, but I have tried a couple of JC sampler packs (Tennessee Cured will probably always be on my shopping list) and, thanks to my local vape shop's tasting bar, I've sampled practically all the highly-rated Lava and Nicquid flavors. There are one or two from each that have knocked my socks off, one or two that were good, one or two that were nasty, with the majority just meh.
I'm sure MBV is no different in this regard, but the main attraction for me with this vendor is that it's not going to cost me a fortune to find the one or two flavors that will knock my socks off. MBV caramel apple has already supplanted my usual JC Autumn Crisp, so I expect my savings on e-liquid will soon begin to add up with them. Variety, price point, and customer service are MBV's biggest draws for me personally.

I think I'm coming to find the same thing... That I'm going to have to keep ordering from several vendors, once I find those couple of "knock your socks off" flavors from each. I keep hoping to find a single vendor to buy all my juice from, but I don't think it's going to happen. That said, I made a very large order from Mt. Baker several weeks ago, and at least a couple of the juices are very good (although several were "meh"). And it IS hard to beat their prices and awesome shipping time. I plan to keep trying, I plan to try more and hope that I will find more "keepers".
Well, count me as a true MBV fan. I have bought from so many vendors that I can`t even remember them all. There are still a couple of juices I get from others, but the majority of mine comes from MBV. I think my current favs are Black Ice and Whipped Cream. I kinda neglect all the others in favor of these two.
I've enjoyed cinnamon roll, butterscotch, get Razzled and moo juice from mt baker quite a bit. No issues recommending them at all
I've only just recently given them a try. Butterscotch Tobacco and Chocolate Mint -- and they threw in a 15ml of Sour Grapes gratis, and you can't beat that.
As to the juices themselves -- I think it might be too early for me to speak on those. Just got the juices a few days ago. I like the flavors, though they could be stronger and I suspect will mature with a week or so of more time to steep. The vapor is a little light compared to what I see in videos, but is satisfactory for me. The throat hit is also a little lighter than I'd like.
Here's my thinking on those things, though: Maybe it's the juice -- but maybe it's the PG/VG ratio, nic strength and number of flavor shots I selected.
That's the thing about a vendor that allows so many options in a juice order: The same juice can get wildly different reviews, not just on each reviewer's taste but also due to each reviewer's customization of the same juice. So while Bob is bashing MBV Chocolate Mint, Billy might think it's the bomb -- because Bob likes a massive throat hit and ordered 70%VG/30% distilled water.
I guess I could have condensed all that into just four letters: YMMV.

idiot question incoming What does YMMV mean anywho
I ordered all my MBV juices with the default values and they all have an aftertaste that makes me think I've been trying to vape candle wax.
YMMV, and I hope it does.

So, Underwhelmed, I take you were under-whelmed with this experience?
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
I had 555, Havana, RY4 and Comarin Pipe tobacco and after steeping for 3 weeks they all tasted like they had soap in them.
I ended up throwing them all out.

LOL, yes under-whelmed by the flavors and overwhelmed by the aftertaste.
As Uncle Willie and others said, taste is subjective, but yeah I had the same experience. Great prices, but even after much steeping, very little flavor even with extra shots. Gotvapes.com flux nectar juices are amazing and the only one I've found that I can vape at 24 mg nic without getting a peppery flavor. 13.95 for 36ml makes them pretty cheap too. Plus I love the eye dropper bottles, just wish the labels were better. lol Everything is mixed fresh, great out of the box and even better after steeping if they last long enough to steep. lol My favs are strawberry pie whipped, pina colada extreme and banana colada smoothie.
I know this was answered, just wanted to mention, anytime something is underlined like that is......if you rest your cursor on it, a box will pop up and tell you what it means.
