I dunno if it's just me, but I have had nothing but bad luck with mount baker vapor e-juice. I keep reading great reviews about this stuff and to me even after steeping over a month.. there's just nothing special to it at all. Fruity hoops, French toast, and coffee cake was average.. moo juice was freaking terrible and tasted like I was licking aluminium, the jolly rancher tastes nothing like a jolly rancher, and several others.. just like some reviews I have read, they all taste chemically.. obviously anyone will immediately say you get what you pay for, and I completely agree. I'm not sure I want to even dish a few more dollars out for their gwar fluid.. but being on a tight budget it's hard for me to just dish out $20-$25 for 30ml bottles at the local shops. So really what I should be asking is, are there any online stores that sell above average tasting 30ml bottles in the $15 range?

Coval Vapes, Charlie Noble. Those are a couple of my current favorites.

There is nothing special about it. I hate most of those juices you buy in vape shops were they mix it front of you and MBV tastes just like most of those. gwar fluid tastes like Pinesol poured over a bucket of .....:?:

Coval Vapes is good juice. Since this thread is about MBV I assume you are looking for a good deal on juice. For a bargain juice I've recently found Vape Wild and ohms vapes. I really like most of what I've gotten from both of these companies. I just made an order from another company called Mech sause, talk about stupid cheap! 120ml's of juice for $15! I can't say if it's any good though as I haven't received it yet.

Yeah check out ITC vapes if you're into dessert flavors. Vape Wild is popular as well, but I don't really have experience with them myself. Both do 120ML for $19.99, which is basically my target price point now. I don't think I would pay any more than that for e-liquid anymore.

I'm embarassed to admit how much money I've wasted at MBV. I just wanted to to try as many flavors as I could, but out of like 20+ I bought, I like about 2-3 of them, and maybe 3 more were just okay. The others I just couldn't take.

I only tried one from the GWAR line (Uncolored Bloodbath). It was okay I guess. But I couldn't make it an ADV. It did make it outside the house as a secondary flavor on occasion though.

Yeah, my ADV is Mach 10 from ITC. I actually bought that in a 240ml for $35.99 and got 12% off for the 4th of July sale, so I got 240ml for $32. That bottle, and another 120ml of Dragon Dew probably lasts me about 5-6 months.

I'm one of those people that hates buying stuff with high profit margins, so I very rarely get soda from fast food, go out to bars and pay $7 a beer, etc. E-liquid and flavoring is very cheap, so these companies that charge $20-30 for 30ml are making a ton of money on each bottle.

just make it yourself. It cost me about .50 cents a week. Flavors cost 1.99 if you dont like them its cheaper than 15 your going to dump down the drain. Go to ecigexpress.com and read the reviews on the flavorings. You almost cant go wrong. If you like blueberry read all the reviews on that flavor. When i did i came up with lorann all natural and bam! All day vape. Then hanging in my local vape store i overheard them say there was grape in their poppa smurf. added a little ethal malto and malic acid. BAM!! All day vape thats better than anything in the vape shop. Oh yea. I just started mixing last week. Aint rocket science even though they want you to think it is. Tell you what ill sell it to you for half of what your payin.

I used to get my DIY flavorings from them, and they would send me free samples from time to time. I never tried any of them, I gave them away at work. MBV lost my business when they kept dropping the flavorings I needed for my DIY recipe. I got tired of having to pick another flavoring to substitute for what they discontinued, and wanting to go back to my original recipe I found out who they get their stuff from and just went to them.

They told me they discontinued those flavorings because they were streamlining their production. I told them I'd gone to their supplier, and to streamline that if they like.

I'm working on my first order with Vape Wild. They gave me 3 free samples that I'm getting through and tried the two flavors I actually ordered.
The three samples were solid but not really my taste profile.
I'm letting the ordered flavors steep a bit longer.
All juices were steeped for just over a week and I must say compared to Mt.Baker, these flavors are much cleaner. Just like with Mt.Baker I had flavor boosts added.

I have been ordering from Vape Wild for 4 months now.... I steep 2 weeks and air them out for a few hours. I have ordered 50 different flavors so far. I do the 6 10mil bottles for 16.99 then add one or 2 30 mill bottles of the flavors I like.

Pssssst! If you make your own juice you don't have to pay them anything and you spend a LOT less on juice.... just sayin....

i am about to give up on them. i recently ordered a 236ml bottle from them. it was not packaged well. the cap was loose and the seal was broken. about 1/3 of the bottle spilled out inside the package. juice on the order bottles and batteries i ordered. i emailed them about, and nothing. zero responds.
I'd contact them again. James Thompson posts every day in the MBV thread and he'll make it right.

I'm not too thrilled with my MBV juices either at the moment because my tastes changed and now I can't seem to tolerate the Hug Juice and Hawk Sauce I bought large bottles of. Some of the flavors I still like, like the banana cream pie but the others I don't know what to do with. I guess I'll try itc vapes.
