MBV Juice Question

[Deadkaiser]

So about a month ago I order one of there large bottles of Cinnamon roll Because i absolute love my 30ml bottle let it steep for a month and a half and it then gave it a vape and it was awful..... There was something really wrong with my bottle of ejuice it just tasted like bitter cinnamon + plastic.... So i contacted MBV to ask if they changed the flavor and they said no and surprisingly kindly gave me a refund.... so a massive thank you to MBV....

Anyway even with my 'good bottle' of Coumarin Pipe there is a notable flavor difference between my old stuff and the new stuff (the new stuff lacks the fruitiness of my first 2 30ml bottle) Its still a nice vape and the flavor difference is really not an issue and it may just need a little more steep time (they do recommend a long steep time for tobacco like flavors) anyway to the point.....

1. have you guys found a notable flavor difference between the 15-30ml and the 236ml bottles?

2. Have you found notable flavor shifts between bottles?

3. What should i do for my next order i really want some Cinnamon roll back in my life
4 x 30ml bottles?
1x 236ml bottle and a spare 30ml bottle encase
Or was i just really unlucky?? and i should just get one more 236ml bottle.

If it were me, I'd give the big bottle a thoroughly brutal and prolonged shaking, and then fill a couple smaller bottles from it. A bigger bottle takes longer to steep.

Exactly. The bigger the bottle the longer the steep.
Fill smaller bottles, then steep.

yer I did that a month ago filled a 120ml glass bottle half full the idea was the juice would then get tons of air and the bottle was immaculately clean..... as for shaking did that on almost daily basis otherwise i left it open in a cardboard box and let it breath..... I cared for that juice well thus my surprise and utter disappointment that it never became any good...... Anyway I was probably just really unlucky....I take it then this is rather uncommon then and there should be no issue will the next 236ml bottle so in that case ill just get another massive bottle ... And thanks for the tip this time ill break it into tons of really small bottles to speed the Steep time up.....

That DOES sound like a bad example. I'm not an MBV customer, so I'm not sure how often that happens, though I've heard the occasional complaint about inconsistency. Good of them to send back your money; under those circumstances, I'd also order it again if I liked the flavor. Good luck!

I got a new bottle of Coumarin Pipe a few weeks ago, just tasted the other day and so far so good. I changed the VGPG ratio and Nic level around so I might not be able to tell if there was a change. But it tastes roughly the same to me. I'll swing back here if I notice anything.

I'm right there with you. My 30 ml bottle of moo juice was so great I got excited about a possible adv. BUT my 120 ml bottle trays like absolute crap. I steeped it and it didn't get any better. .. chemically was all that it tasted. Yuck. And bye bye mbv.

As i said the is was a rather minor difference i did also drop the nic from 12 to 6 and it probably could have done with a bit more of a steep so while still 'notable' it would be better described as noticeable...... Anyway if you like Coumarin Pipe you should try 'The Duke' By indigo great tobbaco style flavor all time favorite all day vape but expensive but defiantly worth having a bottle off at all time imo!

maybe we got the new kid mixing our stuff...... Anyway maybe send them an email..... I also got some Moo juice in that order after trying the blue berry version (moo Juice is better) not bad just not my cup of tea really just a one off vape for me.

Anyway thanks everyone again ill give it another go.

I let the big bottle sit in my closet for a month before I touched it. It is now much better than when it arrived. Just have to give em time. Same with the blue moo. They sent me 3 10ml samples. I added a little TFA Blueberry extra and 3mg nic to them and its kicking ..... When I first tried them I thought they were terrible. Seems MBV just takes time to fully develop.

Never any Issues with MBV (regularly order 5-6 Flavors from them). Always let them Age an additional 10-14 Days with intermittent shaking in a dark Drawer.
Never ordered larger than 30ml Bottles though. Peach, Mixed Berry Cream, Grappler, Blood Orange and Rob. Used to order the Blue Moo but the Mixed Berry Cream tasted better to me.
Just started ordering Mech Sauce Brand Juices and they show promise. They need to age the same 10-14 days IMO to fully "come-in".
MBV may just get demoted to 2nd String except for the Peach. Mech Sauce doesn't have a Peach (yet).

I bought a handful of flavors from them a few weeks ago, during a bout of shiny-itus.

I cracked open the GWARY4 a few days after receiving it and it's been very good to me. Solar Flare I tried a week later, once I was able to identify what I smelt was, in, fact, citrus. Didn't like the strong tangerine flavor - but then tangerines are the only citrus I dislike. Was going to toss it, but in the few days it's been in my Aerotank the flavor has mellowed, so I will probably let it steep for another week or two.

The rest smell absolutely yummy but I'm still going to give them another week, just to be safe.

I used to get my flavorings from MBV for my ADV recipe, until they discontinued one, then another, and told me they were streamlining their production. I then set about streamlining my own, and went to Flavor West, which I understand is where MBV gets their stuff in the first place. On MBV's site I found a very long list of retired flavors. Seemed to me I could not rely on them for what I needed over time. As for steeping I keep six 100 ml flasks in rotation, and that's worked very well for me the last couple years.
