So I have been enjoying MBV Juices since I started a little over a month ago. I have not tried any other brands due to the fact that MBV juices are cheaper and I find them to taste good, but I have nothing to compare to. Basically I want to hear from people that have already been around the market and can tell me if im really missing out. I know tastes are subjective but there has to be a noticable quality difference, right? Any recomendations would be apreciated, thank you.

Taste is subjective but, one big thing is being sure that complex or multi flavored juices are steeped. Tobacco, things like vanilla rum, strawberry limeade and such should be steep anywhere form a few days to a few months for the best flavor.

PG/VG ratio and delivery devices also make a difference. Find an acceptable juice, find you favored delivery device, then find you ideal flavors for that device.

i really like mbv, considering if u spend $15 u get a free 15ml with ur order, throw in the fact u can customize ur flavors and bam, 3 custom (up to 5 flavors) for about $22 and u got 60ml of juice.

if u like fruitier flavors (my preference, but taste is subjective) i'd recommend these to try from MBV

Mango, Guava, and Dragonfruit is a hitter combo. Blackberry, Passion fruit, and Acai berry is what iv been on too. and there own strawberry kiwi flavor is amazing.
 
I'm a relatively new vaper, too. One thing I've discovered: you MUST shake that bottle. I had been looking forward to getting an apple jolly rancher flavor and fired it up as soon as I left the store. It was pretty awful. I was looking at the bottle and noticed the "shake before use" notice and realized I had not done so. I emptied out my clearo, gave it a good hard shaking, and refilled and the taste was completely different. Just this evening, I decided to give another juice I had not enjoyed another chance after a good shaking. Same result - better flavor (although I'm still looking for an AWESOME peach!).

Thanks for some of the references on vendors. I understand that I need to shop around but like someone stated there are so many vendors that I wanted to get some opinions to narrow my search a little. I tend to vape a lot of menthol (MBV-Menthol or Extreme Ice) or fruity mixes (MBV-Thug Juice or Hawk Sauce). There strawberry was good and I really wanted to like Solar Flare (Orange Tic-Tac) but it just wasnt tasting right at all for me. Green Ice was another one that I vaped for a good bit of time. Like I stated I am not disapointed at all with MBV, I just wanted to know if i was missing out on good quality juice. Which is why I turned to you guys to see if you could shed some light on places to start my sampling. Thanks to all those who posted and will post, have a great day :D

I'm not a big menthol fan, but I did like MBV Thug juice. I haven't tried too many menthol's from other vendors.

Halo has a couple I tried that I liked: Kringle's Curse(Peppermint), and Shamrock(Think mint chocolate chip ice cream)

As for fruity flavors, Tasty Vapor is good for those, I really like their Island Punch.

I haven't tried them yet, but they're my next planned order: Good Life Vapor, they've been getting a lot of good chatter on here lately, and they've got quite a few signature menthol/ice flavors you might like.

Order sample packs from several different vendors of flavors you think you "might" like. I "thought" I would like the Hawaiian/fruit flavors so I ordered a sample pack from a reputable vendor. Turns out I'm more of a maple/vanilla/caramel lover.

You can always give the ones that you don't like to a fellow vapor. Or, if you don't know any, save them for the people that you will eventually convert.
 
IMHO- There is definitely a correlation between price and quality. Ive tried about 10-12 different juice vendors so far and the only ones I havent liked were "chep" ones. Ive yet to be disapponted by a juice that was over $15 for 30ml. My all time favorite vendor is Hurricane Vapor. Theyre kindof new but they really make some unique juices. Not that you cant get a good juice for cheap but youre rolling the dice. And youre missing out on a whole different level of quality.

In the interest of honesty as to self experience. You could get a bazillion different recommendations from everyone.
Not one single person knows nor has your personal Taste Buds and exact likes.

If you venture on any recommendations from someone else, go with as small a sample as available and test.

I have purchased, on recommendation and from what I assumed I might like, well over 200 e-liquids from over 30 Venders:facepalm:
Have found maybe a Dozen that are okay, a few I repeat buy and None that are good enough to call MY Personal all-day-vape.
I now DIY and have 3 I really enjoy that I can replicate and/or adjust any time I wish.:)
