As far as having to steep MBV juices it varies from flavor to flavor. I've found some of it good to go right from the mailbox. I've never tried the flavors you have coming so I can't speak for them. But I have found no MBV juice that is un vapable on arrival. Some just gets better over time. There are ways people employ to speed steep juices. Google will reveal some links.
If you have only a total of 30ml of juice headed your way you'll probably go through that pretty fast. At least you've got a B&M you're familiar with to fall back on. Good luck!

I beg to differ. Here's my reasoning:
When I quit smoking, I was smoking 3/4th to 1 pack of regular strength blonds a day. Like what the OP plans on doing, I started vaping following my smoking patterns, i.e. "like cigarettes": 10 puffs every so often, 15 to 20 times a day.
And then quickly, I realized I was puffing on my PV incessantly, because it's so easy, because I don't have to finish it quickly because I lit it, because I don't need to go outside... My consumption rose to 5/6 ml a day.
And then I decided it was too much for two reason:
- I'm chained to my PV, and it's not very convenient,
- I'm giving in to my nicotine addiction without restraint, and I like to be in control of my addictions - be it cigarettes, vaping or booze.
So I decided to restrict my consumption to 2 ml per day. That's my ration for the day. I can decide to save it all day and blow it all up in 2 hours at the jazz club around good friends and good cocktails, or I can decide to make it last throughout the day and vape it little by little. But once it's gone, it's gone and that's it until the next morning.
What does it mean? That between vaping sessions, I crave a little. But then, I craved a little too between each cigarette, and it didn't kill me. Just like I get hungry between each meal.
A little craving is normal: it makes the next cigarette/vape/meal more enjoyable. Not craving at all means vaping becomes bland, you end up getting vaper's tongue, you blow money on good juice you don't even appreciate as much as you could, and your habit is out of control.
For that reason, I think the OP is right to plan on setting himself limits. So, for what it's worth, if you react anything like me to nicotine, and you follow my method and limit your juice consumption to what's necessary to provide the same craving relief that you got out of cigarettes before quitting, 1 cigarette ≈ 0.12 ml.
Hey all, just wanted to update the thread. I received my Kanger double PV starter kit on Monday along with 2 juices I ordered, plus a freebie, which is awesome. The shipping was freaking crazy...I don't know how they did it. Ordered Friday after 5 Eastern Time, was sent an email it was shipping later on that night, got it on Monday, and they are all the way across the country from here!
Anyway, the flavors that I got were East Coast Tobacco 18mg, 80/20, 15ml, Zebra Stripe Gum 12mg, 50/50, and the freebie was Cake 12mg, 80/20. I let them sit until today but then didnt want to wait any longer!
Kanger batteries were both fully charged, which is awesome. I filled up both PVs one with the East Coast Tobacco and one with the Zebra Stripe (Unfortunately, I didn't think ahead and filled them both up nearly so I haven't got to try the Cake yet).
Here is my take on the East Coast Tobacco (I copied and pasted my review directly on their site to here, no need to retype it all, lol)
I will preface this by saying that I just received my first kit and juices from Mt. Baker (not just from them, I mean first ever). I really was not sure if vaping really sweet things would get me through quitting smoking entirely and wanted/needed a juice that tasted like tobacco. I got this one 80/20 18mg. No extra flavor shots. When I first used it, it did taste somewhat like pipe tobacco but definitely has a different inhale and exhale taste. Hoping for more of a tobacco flavor that I am used to, I wasn't sold on this juice to start with, but there was just something about it that I could not put my finger on...then after pondering for a few, I realized that to me this smells and tastes like peanut butter cookies! Having that in my brain as I was vaping it made it taste even more like pb cookies. Because of that, I really actually like it now!
Not a lot of vapor due to the high PG but the throat hit is really OK for me - in fact stronger than I get with my ultra light analogs. (My very first hit ever make me choke actually! ha).
As far as the Zebra Stripe gum flavor, it is really good, sweet but not sugary if that makes any sense. There is more (significantly more) vapor due to the higher VG, lower PG in it and I throat hit is still really decent. I think I might like the 12mg better than the 18mg. I will say though that there is an ever so slight "hint" of fabric softener taste/smell with this flavor but overall it is good. Probably not something I would use as an ADV but it is definitely going to all get finished!
Will let you know about the cake.
