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

So. I just got my first order from MBV......eehhhh......so,so. Maybe I need to let them steep for a bit. I got the rootbeer float that Vagabond102 mentioned, tastes exactly like black licorice to me. I hate black licorice, this one is getting passed on to another vapor for sure. I also got moo juice and solacious strawberry. They are ok but way too sweet. They gave me a free sample of razzle dazzle...just ok. The vapor and throat hit on all of them were good but they all tasted overly sweet and not very much like their descriptions. But they are very cheap and lightning fast shipping. I might give them one more order to see if I can find something I like.

I just received a couple of their flavors for the first time. Blood Orange and RY4. I don't have the finances to get too far ahead for long periods of steeping. The Blood Orange is weak but got a little better after steeping with the top off and on for 3 days. The RY4 is nasty right out of the box. It is NOT vapable so I either steep it or throw it away. It is black in the bottle.

I've never found an RY4 I liked. Even high brows was terrible

you need to get Halo's Belgian Chocolate. Not does it taste similar to hot cocoa, it tastes exactly the same as hot cocoa. It's considered the best/most authentic chocolate vape by many.

I vaped Halo's belgian chocolate, tastes like a tootsie roll (IMO). Not a pleasant smell for the people around you.

Sorry the RBF didn't work for you. I've had a dozen people try it, and they loved it and it tasted just like an RBF, so I dunno if there is something wrong with yours or what.

Finding your flavor is a chore, but worth it.

I really like MBV. Their Root Beer, Green Apple and Solar Flare have made it into my daily tank rotation. That being said, some of their flavors I have tried have been meh and a couple unvapeable (Raspberry and Cinnamon Red Hot) for me. But with their prices, I don't mind trying new flavors; if I don't like it I just pass it on to a friend to try. Cheers!

I have had ups and downs with their juice but the ones I like, I REALLY like and I love a good deal and MBV seems to deliver a really great deal on their juice.

As far as flavors I do add flavor shots to some (not all) of the juice I get.

My current favorites:

Banana Gone Nuts
Banana Cream Pie x1 extra shot
Utterly Nuts x1 extra shot
Moo Juice x1 extra shot
Blue Moo x1 extra shot

True most of their flavors need to steep for a while but after that they are wonderful! They taste just like the more expensive juice if you ask me, the only difference is you don't have all the trinkets and fancy pictures and a lot more unnecessary stuff. I just need juice plain and simple and with them you are not waiting 2 weeks to get it.

It is true that you get it right away, but they recommend steeping for 14 days....so who cares how fast it comes?

MBV has some of the best juices I tried (cinnamon roll, green apple, surprise grape and solar flare) and haven't had a ton of issues with their liquid either. When I saw the tank crackers list I just assumed every juice did it and started using cartos with all of them. I think MBV are often simple and unassuming. I enjoy their juice and their prices and customer service are the cherry on top.

i like the ecto cooler and thug juice, but could take or leave the other 10 or so flavors i've tried from them. got some "high end" liquids from vape rev, velvet cloud, and alien visions last week, and they're definitely worth the price tag.

seduce juice just opened last week i think, and the 4 flavors i got from them are great. chalice being the best of their selection IMO

the industry has more than enough room for both companies that sell 50 pretty good flavors, and companies that only sell 10 incredible flavors.

Agreed but "high end" does not have to mean price. I have a favorite vendor offering good variety of juices costing way less than what I find so over priced at those with a "high end" reputation. What is "high end" about them is their quality (wish I knew what flavoring company they use as a DIYer) but they keep their prices reasonable... ie: 36 mils for $15.00.

After steeping for 5 days I must admit the RBF is much better. More of a rootbeer flavor less of the licorice(although still there). Not my favorite flavor, but I'm not going to pass it on. I'll keep it. Another week of steeping it might be really good. The other flavors I got also improved a lot after just a few days of steeping. I will definitely be ordering more from MBV.

I think in the future i'll be trying the diy flavors more fro mbv. razzle dazzle was ok and bannana cream pie was above decent. But i diy'd some dutch apple pie n it was very very tasty.i've got some chocolate frost thats not tasting like much @ week 2 f shots hoping that changes pineapple upside down @ week not even trying it yet. I believe they use n sell FW flavorings read that but i suspected all ready w the pictures being exactly the same have ecto cooler and pink champagne n peach for diy be here today. also made up a custom flavor i like a lot pineapple peach 6parts n blueberry 5 parts 2x flavor shots each n 1 part extreme ice caled it icy fruit punch pretty good after a steep. Is mt baker a fireworks going off crazy good flavours not yet IMO but if they made a proprietary blend w citric acid angel tears n unicorn farts from 6 different flavor manufacturers then the price would double. I tried em cause i wanted to try out some flavors west already. I just hope my peach champagne turns out killer.... Oh yea my buddy has some caramel candy steeping smells awesome 2x flavour shots. I can't begin to describe how many places i've tried since 08 some of r out of buisness. My favorites are Rawr n MOV For price quality n service If juicy n ms t was a little cheaper they'd be on my list too. $16 a 30 ml + shipping is my limit.
