If budget is really that much of a primary concern it's really hard to top Mtbaker. Especially once you factor in that the free 15ml sample, where i also never received anything other then what i requested. Top notch customer service as well. In fact, from an overall perspective i'd say the best out of anybody i ordered from, and i've been around the block lol.
Ecblends is pretty close though, and i personally found their Dragon series line to be a more enjoyable vape then anything MBV offered. Although with that said, i also never got a reorder from them where my sample of Dragon_Juice_X would taste the same after i went back to buy a bigger bottle (steep times factored in). Maybe they ended up getting that issue sorted out though (i was hardly alone posting that feedback) as it's been a while.
Only ever tried the Irish Mintz in Madvapes line, which was actually the first
juice i tried period. Looking back though it remained a personal favorite through my MBV experience, and i still have a friend who vapes it daily. Grabbing another bottle to see how i feel it still stacks up today remains on my future to do list.
Of course, when it comes down to whether or not saving that extra $5-6. on a bottle of
juice (that may last you a month) is really worth not giving a few of these more "expensive"
juice lines like HHV/Ahlusion/Nicoticket a chance, YMMV. I'm on a run through the Nicoticket line now myself, and personally feel that from a taste/quality standpoint they pretty much blow away anything i ever tried out of MBV/ECblends.
