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. :)
This makes the expression "like a bat out of hell" a lot scarier...
edit hey, it doesn't do it on mine? that's mean, forum.

Re melted candle wax vapes. I made a decent flavor last onth except for that hot wax after taste. If anybody knows what could be the causes of that I d love to hear. The same flavor brand has resulted in 3 other vapes that came out really nice. The one with th melted candle wax flavor had some bakery I suspect, cotton candy, malty not diluted, and the other 3 flavors I'm not too worried about are Bavarian cream bluebarry and coconut

Guess the old 'you're never to old to learn something new' is true - Thanks Deb, I never knew that & it worked! :)

I am expecting my first order from them today, so I can't comment on quality yet, but I can echo the comments about price and CS. I have also heard from many posts, and from the folks at MBV themselves, that since each bottle is custom made and fresh as newly picked apple, they MUST be steeped for a while first. Considering I paid $7.49 for a 30ml bottle, that is a concession I am willing to make. I'll follow up with quality comments after I have steeped and sampled.

Price and CS are excellent at MBV, the juices themselves I suspect are about average, I don't really have anything to compare to though since they're the only vendor I've bought juice from so far. They have a huge selection of flavors, most of which are very simple one note flavors. I have about ten of them, all of the fruit flavors taste pretty much like what they're supposed to, except the black cherry still tastes like medicine after a week of steeping, maybe it will get better. Butterscotch smells great but I can't really taste it, but I think that has more to do with my taste buds than the juice. Caramel Apple is great, as is the Watermelon, the Thug juice is ok for me if I feel like having menthol. The one tobacco flavor I tried from them is pretty meh on it's own(East Coast Tobacco) and had a perfumey taste for about a week which went away with steeping, but it's actually really good mixed with some of the other flavors I have. I plan to order some of their more complex flavors to give them a shot, and I'm thinking up a recipe to try out with their "mix your own" flavor option which is great for someone who isn't quite ready for DIY. All in all they're a solid company, with decent juice, a boatload of options, and most important(to me anyways) I'm not going to be waiting 3-4 weeks(or more) for my "premium" juice.

yes, I feel the same way. I just recently got a friend into vaping, and he's been binge-buying a lot of stuff from different companies. A lot of the juices he's got taste really really really good, and Mt Baker is not one of them lol. It was so average compared to the rest of the juices he got that he gave them all to me for free =)

They really do need to be steeped for almost a month...most of them anyway.
My problem, as I was saying before, is not being patient. If I try them too soon, that memory stays with me.
lol
The ones that have been good straight out of the mail truck were green apple and root beer.
And with some steeping, Thug Juice is good. (tastes like perfume if not steeped)

White Out = It'll change your mind about so-so. It's a delicate mix, and don't be scared of licorice or Anise, you can barely taste it even with extra flavor, it's all mixed perfectly and ohh so good.

Of course, that's just my tastes, but thought I'd post there because I'm sure MANY people glance at this juice and then move along in fear of licorice or Anise taste, thinking it's going to taste like licorice. It's not, AT ALL, this is a creamy butter-mint/peppermint mix with a super light hint of Anise in the background.

So, in general, just posting this in case you hadn't tried it yet because this is for sure one juice that I'd hope wouldn't just be so-so for you. Give it a try, I bet you like it! :thumbs:

It's good with no flavor shots, and one flavor shot too. Haven't tried with 2 flavor shots yet, but I plan to next time! It's great out of the mail box, but so much better a week later after a 24 hour airing and then week steep. Gets better than that after 2-3 weeks too, but it's great out of the mail too in case you were curious, not as good then but still decent and vapeable. I like ti air it for 24, then wait at least 3 days before I dip into it, but right about that 7-10 day mark is where is starts to shine

I think they're filling the niche by the tactic of volume of fire over accuracy. Think of it like bullets firing from a gun. With volume of fire, whole heck of a lot of bullets are being fired (but few hit the target). With accuracy, a few bullets are being fired, but all hit the target. They're throwing out such a huge selection of juices, that at least one person, somewhere, is going to find at least one juice they LOVE. I have only four out of 5 pages of available flavors. But those four flavors are DELISH.

Like many have said. Most people will not fall in love with EVERY flavor a vendor offers...

I love their Extreme Ice. Actually. I love most of their menthol flavors. The value cannot be beaten. Which is why I choose them for my menthol needs. Yes. I like various flavors more from other vendors. But they are my go to for anything minty.

I just got a bunch of stuff from them yesterday. I've only tried a few flavors so far, and at this point I'm...eh. Better than the crap I bought from BM, but still that slight perfumey taste. We'll see...

Thought it only fair to update as my opinion has improved in the days since.
Just a few days of steeping has done wonders, though some still need some more time.
But I've found enough to suit my tastes that I would definitely consider ordering again - w. flavor shots this time!
Also I'm really digging their Root Beer - potential to become one of my core flavors.

Yes, steeping is pretty much a must with MBV. I wouldn't really expect otherwise with 2 day old juice; if I made my own I would certain test it then steep it... The root beer is one of my top flavors, if not THE top. It doesn't play well with clearos but dang if it doesn't actually feel BUBBLY.

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.

It took me time and $$$ but I've found a handful of juices that I love from an assortment of vendors. As others have said, MBV juice at least tastes like you'd expect, and then it's a matter of whether or not you like them. I'm digging the Salted Caramel. If that's the only juice that I really like out of an order of six bottles (plus a free bottle), then I consider it a successful order.

I have their Root Beer FLOAT with 1 extra shot. I love it! I have in my new IBTANKED black swirl tank. I'm about to order more, but I think I'll get 2 or 3 extra shots next time.

I'm looking to expand, though. MVP and a local B&M are all I've ordered from. I want to find a place that has supposedly PREMIUM and TOP NOTCH stuff and see how that goes.

Try this place Tennessee Original | Robust, unique, and complex tobacco flavored E-Liquid. American Made flavors only at Mountain Oak Vapors. E-Juice 100% Made in the USA.

This is where I get most of my tobacco flavors but the fruit flavors are good also! They are always having discounts also.
