I've used a lot of MBV juices (all either 65/45 with no flavor shots or 50/50 with one at most) and while with some I get a bit of the perfume taste you're talking about straight out of the mail, a night with the cap off takes care of it for me. The flavoring they use may just not work for your palate. That's the whole subjective thing for ya! Have you looked into other low cost vendors to see if they use a different line of flavorings?

Yeah I that was the reason for the OP trying to find other low cost
I see lucky 7, fast tech and ECblend as the others in that price point- looking to see what options are out there before I just fill a tank with febreeze and save myself the time- lol

Oic. Lol...I must need more coffee! :p I don't know what flavorings they use but check out Bulk Ejuice too. I've had good experiences with them as a vendor.

I've complained inside of some threads but haven't written the question outright.

I've made two orders to mt baker over the last few months each time I ordered 4 or 5 different juices to give them a try- I know what I like but what I like it fairly pricey so I've been looking for some juices that comparable flavor wise but less expensive to use intermittently and break down the cost a little.
I understand the whole concept of you get what you pay for; then again that's not always the case.
I have one bottle that's been steeping for two and a half months now and still smells and tastes like Lysol when it's vaped just put a drop on the coil to see how it is. Ran out of my good stuff again and broke out the mt baker from the steep Bol and put a flavor in they want half bat when it arrives 2 weeks ago and still it's not bad flavor wise and it's vapeable but it has the overtone of febreeze on the inhale.
Total opposite side of the spectrum from the others.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Anyone know why?
Anyone know of a GOOD juice vendor with comparable pricing?
I'm not looking for a suicide bunny or 5pawn clone but something that doesn't taste like i just licked John Wayne's .... at close to or at my bakers price point.
Thanks y'alls

Try this one......I bought from them and no longer buy from MBV.
As others have said. You're not gonna get a Mercedes fo the price of a KIA, but for an inexpensive juice, it's good IMO.

Moo Juice is very buttery at two weeks, after a month of steeping it becomes more a creamy strawberry...in a dripper I sometimes get strawberry quick on the first vape.

Wish I knew that. That's the one that's promoting to start this thread.
I got it hoping for a check cola version of mothers milk. The description led me to think it was kind of a similar flavor. I knew it would be a very slight version; but, you know something that would at least reference it a little maybe kind of be a hint of it- strawberries and cream. But i let it steep a weak and it tastes like strawberries and vinegar.

Just ordered a Kanger T3S base from Vapor Beast to use for building coils, it's a pain to have to remove one from my tanks to do so.

It was $1.59 shipped & if prior history prevails, it'll be here by Wednesday, Thursday at latest.

Vapor Beast has many such essential accessories, plus their e-juices, all with Free Shipping.

I'm not sure ordering from Fasstech would be a step in the right direction.

I agree, according to those who I know who has ordered from them, the company should be renamed "SlowTech", as it takes 4-6 weeks to get their order.

Plus they also place too many items, such as tanks in the same package w/out adequate cushioning. Some of their tanks are OEM, meaning no boxed package, which would better protect the items. And tanks are shipped with mods. One also has to keep in mind that their package may be opened one or more times by US Customs or postal inspectors, this also slows the ship time & they often don't care about careful repackaging.

Just a friendly warning.

Yeah I've been warned and advised that if I ordered from them to order in groups
- juice in 1 order
-tanks I'm another
-RBAs in another
- batts by themselves
I was told that would expedite some things as certain things like batts especially can get slowed down in customs.

There were two vendors I patronized on my very first juice orders. One was MBV because I read so many raves about them here. The other was a new vendor running a super opening sale. Now I'm talking about purchases of the smallest sizes offered both places, the combined total of which was $250 with no duplicated flavors. Now that's more than a sample test of each considering MBV regular prices and a super sale (20% off) at the other vendor. The greatest quantity came from MBV as the other vendor had much fewer choices. With the exception of one single flavor from MBV, all of them were unvapable and remain so to this day. All, except the one, had the exact same off-putting taste of perfume. There were a few exceptions but most were without extra flavor shots. Frankly, whenever I read that someone tastes that same thing in their juices that I do, I'm relieved. Its very disconcerting to read so many raves about somthing that tastes so disgusting to me. And I DO mean disgusting. That taste almost kept me from vaping and "taste is subjective" sure didn't help matters. Thankfully, someone talked me into giving it one more try and I found juice that kept me vaping. BUT, I learned a valuable lesson: Buy not only small sizes but only a few selections and read the reviews at the vendor site itself. You begin to learn, there, what the odds are for a good or a really bad juice. Vaping can be less expensive than smoking but not if you throw money away on unvapable juices and have to duplicate expenses finding at least decent ones.

Disclaimer: Obviously not everyone tastes the really overwhelming, to me, perfume taste in MBV juices and my apologies to them for telling the truth of my own experience. As I said, one did not have that taste and it is Graham Cracker but it turns black which is normal but puts me off. I also buy straight menthol flavoring there and its fine.

I feel your pain and that's where I'm at throwing money away on juice I can't vape/ again
What did you find at a more affordable price and where? Or are you sticking to the dollar a mil juice?

I DIY a lot but for premixed I only buy from places that sell in at least 4 ounce sizes bringing the price down to .37 per ml or less. These juices, if buying the usual 10, 15 or 30 ml sizes, are well over $1.00 per ml with the 5 or 6 ml sample sizes being closer to $2.00 per ml.

Oops, just read "where"... I'll PM you.

I just received my MVB order today. I ordered Spearmint, Strawberry Shortcake, and Cotton Candy. I tried to vape the Strawberry Shortcake (2 extra shots) right out the mail and it was horrid. I'm not writing it off yet, I'm putting it aside to steep...but it did have an odd taste that I can't quite put my finger on. The Spearmint (0 extra shots) was excellent right from the start - I'm a former menthol smoker so that flavor is especially satisfying to me. My husband chose the cotton candy, but we haven't tried it yet.

In the past week, I have ordered from 2 other places that offer comparable/may slightly higher prices: Vapor Chef and Ms. T's Bakery. If Vapor Chef's customer service is any indication of how the juices will be, I cannot wait to try them. I ordered Saturday night. When I got up Sunday morning, I had an email from them that I will quote:

"I noticed 3 of your juices are listed as being 30% PG / 70% VG, and one is listed as 70% PG / 30% VG. Can you please confirm this for me? I'd hate to send you something you can not vape! Sometimes it's easy to switch these on our drop down form so we just want to make sure that this is correct."

I HAD made a mistake and I was so happy that they caught it since my husband can't tolerate anything over 50% PG. So...ordered Saturday night, email Sunday morning, woke up this morning and had a tracking number for the package already! I'm so excited to get these!

Anyway, just thought I would put my 2 cents in about other places that aren't so very expensive. I can update when I receive the juices.

OK, I finally found the site of my personal distributor (actually I didn't know they had one until today). Their e-juice isn't the cheapest, but as more than one in this thread has pointed out, you get what you pay for. Some of their selections isn't on the current list because they don't get many visitors yet, but email them & request what you want, they'll get back with you.

My favorite from them is 11'OClock Coffee, if one really likes coffee blends, it's a fantastic one to try at $13 for 30ml. The French Vanilla Deluxe is also good for the same price & Tuscan Reserve is also great, though it's a little pricier at $17 for 30ml.

Products | Lunar Vapor

These are the people who got me into vaping & I very highly recommend the site. Their e-juices has no cologne/perfume smells, just pure flavor.
