Hello again i just ordered 2 juices from ecblends dragons tear and choc chip mint both 12nic and 50/50 i ask this because i have heard i can but only had one other expeirience and a bad one from mbv and i still cant vape them after 2 weeks way to harsh hurting my throat and making me cough right now i can only afford cheap juices .. sorry for the dumb questions i wrote mbv and i was told to let my juice steep for a couple more weeks because of an extra flavor shot but these juices are like inhaling smoke from a 4 alarm fire with a little taste .. but they smell good they were peanut butter and caramel apple both reviws were good

You can vape them straight away - I do this regularly with some MBV flavours (twin mint, hawk sauce, mimosa). Generally, juices mellow with some steeping (aging). The flavours of a complex juice blend more, the edges of a fierce juice come off, etc. YMMV, though, and truly rank juices won't become good.

If it feels very harsh, there's a good chance that the nic level might be too high for you and/or the PG/VG mix doesn't agree with you. Lower nic and higher VG generally mean less harshness. Then there's also the gear factors - the amount of power to the coil is a big one. The higher the volts/watts used, the more intense the vape.

I hope you get a vape that's enjoyable.

Sure. If it tastes good, vape it!

I do steep 95% though. Nicoticket pre-steeps theirs. May be others. Hopefully, others will chime in.

The problem is that if the vendor mixes early and it doesn't sell, it can take a flavor turn for the worse. Most store the stuff separately and then mix as it is ordered. For myself, I am happy with it.

Now, if you go into a vape shop and they are selling juice made by someone else, It may have been sitting on the shelf for awhile. If you are short juice, I would go to a vape shop, sit and try different juices, and leave with some.

Hope helps.

Are the MBV eliquids both also 12 mg nicotine and 50/50 pg/vg? What equipment are you using?

We order quite a bit from MBV. When we switched from cigalikes with cartos to Evod setups in March of this year, we found that our previous "favorite" blends of either 80 pg/20 vg or 65 pg/35 vg were too harsh for us in the Evod tanks. We switched to the 50/50 blend, and are back to getting very satisfying vapes.

Whether you steep or not depends on how you perceive the flavor. My daughter, for instance, likes MBV's Hawk Sauce straight out of the mailbox, whereas I have seen others post that they do not feel it comes into its full potential until it has steeped for varying amounts of time, depending on the user. If an eliquid tastes good to you as soon as you get it, then vape it. Otherwise, set it aside for a while, and check it once in a while.

Please remember to shake the bottle well before you fill or top off your tank or carto.

If the B&M is selling juice made elsewhere, i.e. someone else's bottled product, it may have been in that bottle for awhile.

If the B&M is selling juice that they make in the back and bottling it as it is being purchased, that is a difference.

When on the road and I need juice, I stop by a vendor and buy juice that they sell for an originator.

I do use bridgeless atomizers for testing. $5 and they clean quickly for re-use. I check upon juice receipt and every few days.

This is only what I do. I can be pretty thorough at times.

Once again, if it seems a good, vape it.
