Aside from price- why MBV?

I just like them! I rarely get a flavor that I don't like and the customer service is great. I also like that you get a free 15 ml sample and I always make a monthly order so I don't have to pay shipping. I have compared the flavors to some other expensive juices I have gotten and besides them not being in glass bottles I can't tell a difference.

Yea...they really do have the best CS that I've seen in a LONG time. And you really can't beat their S&H. They are in Washington, I'm in Alabama...I can place my order with them...it almost always ships the same day I order it..and get it in 3 days. Not to mention their flavors are just fantastic! Although I do recommend getting 1 flavor shot on their fruit flavors...but that's just because I like for mine to taste just like I've put the fruit in my mouth..not just a hint of it. :) Oh yea...then there's the fact that they always send a free sample (15ml bottle) if you order, 15.00, I believe it is, before S&H. I've spent around 100 bucks with them in the last couple of weeks!

I have tried several vendors on my quest to find quality juice and by that I mean, good taste and vapor and ingredients. So far of the 10 or so popular vendors I have tried I keep coming back to MBV. Don't get me wring there is still a vendor or two other than MVB i order one or two certain flavors from. The price for me is just icing on the cake. If I had stayed with them exclusively I think I might have more juices in my "like" section and less in my ....... WHat the heck is this this section...LOL

I wouldn't say it's just bang for your buck, necessarily. The service is good if not great and that makes me happy every order.

They pack and ship quickly, and they do it better than almost any other online vendor I've worked with (vape related or not). I received an order from MBV that quite literally looked like it had been run over, and none of the juice inside was broken, cracked, or even leaking. I pay for Priority shipping and usually receive my packages cross country 3 days after I pull the trigger.

They read the comments on the order, they participate here on ECF, they keep shoppers posted both here and on the Facebook page. If you hit the site during Pacific business hours they've pretty much always got someone available for online chat to answer questions or give suggestions.

They also give their customers flexibility in product. Want high PG? Ok. Low pg? Cool. Flavor shots? Done. Want to order your own flavor or sweetener to get the juice just right? It's all there.

While I love the pricing (LOVE IT), I wouldn't bat an eye at paying more given the service and selection I receive.

Customer service - You can chat with them live on their site and get real-time advice/recommendations/help with your order. They also actually read the notes you leave with your order. Last order, I insisted upon a freebie flavor and told them to draw a balloon on the receipt if it was ok for me to insist like that. They drew the balloon, a smiley face, and a "happy birthday" for some reason lol.

Shipping - Always incredibly fast. Usually ships the same day I place my order, but if not, always the day after. Gets in the mail to me in about 3 days every time. I've ordered from around 5 other vendors and none of them even got here in twice that time. Never had a leaky/damaged package.

Freebies - If you spend more than 15$ on an order, they throw in a free 15ml bottle of juice. You can insist on what juice you want in the comment section of your order, and even the PG/VG and nic ratios. They will mix it so quickly that they usually hand-write the labels for your freebie to avoid wasting time with printing I assume. This is basically free juice tbh. It's a business model that keeps customers coming back for a new juice, or simply to get a free bottle of a juice they already love.

Options - On their site, you can customize PG/VG ratios, nic %, and flavor shots for every flavor they offer. They also offer a "build your own" section, where you can mix flavors and ratios to create your own juice. Out of the 10 or so I've created, only one of them was awful, and it was my fault (chocolate raspberry... nasty). Again, you can customize the flavor shots and PG/VG ratio for the "build your own" as well.

Flavors - Their flavors are really straight forward and tasty. I've tried multiple more expensive vendors and I can't justify paying so much more and waiting so much longer for a juice thats really not all that different from MBV. This is subjective, obviously, but I haven't had any issues with the tastes of their juice whatsoever, and have been enjoying all of the flavors that I thought I would enjoy.

I've ordered a couple of times from them so I have received 2 free samples. Both samples were excellent. Grumpy Bear and Razzle Dazzle. Can't find either one on their web site, but they were really good. Wondering if they were experimenting? Fast service and not a single bad tasting juice.

The samples they send are often juices in development. If you enjoy them, let them know. Positive feedback increases the chances of a juice being added to their lineup!

I can't add to what has already been said except to say they are my favorite vendor - great prices, excellent customer service - have a question? Just use the chat - or there's a thread on ECF that James responds on, or their Facebook page - or twitter. Free samples for orders over $15, crazy fast shipping - and while I haven't loved every juice, that's just me experimenting out of my comfort zone, not the quality of the juice. Most need steeping time and some juices I didn't like, I went back weeks later and loved. For me, it's not a lot of money very well spent! :) It just feels like a more personal way of shopping, if that makes sense!

I've ordered from MBV since well before they became the darling of the liquid folks .. they are a great example of doing it right and should be the poster child for some of the other vendors .. I don't always buy pre-made liquid, but when I do .. it's MBV ..

I thought they weren't pre-made eliquid???

Anything I don't DIY I consider pre-made .. and I'm sure MBV as well as most vendors have a supply of their most popular liquids pre-mixed .. after all, I don't think a commercial vendor is going to sit there and mix out 15ml / 30ml bottles one at a time .. ;)

I don't know about that. I've ordered from AVE and HHV (assuming these count as vendors for "pricier premium juices") recently, and I'm yet to be blown away. Ok, Boba's is bizarrely enticing before you're even sure you like it, but otherwise, meh. Not bad, but not significantly better than anything I've gotten from MBV. Of course, to some extent I've been disappointed with near every juice I've tried so far, and I've tried a lot. Still, the handful juices closest to an ADV are all from MBV.
