I just got my first order from MBV. I know most of you advise to let the juices steep, since they're mixed when you order. My bottles say they were manufactured 12/15 (aww they were working on a Sunday!).

I've also seen people say that some are good right out of the box. I know I should just try them to see how they are, but I don't want to waste any :(

Any recommendations on steeping for:

Graham cracker
Moo juice
Peanut butter
Banana nut bread

It can't hurt to give them a little try just to see how they are. Often times when I order juice I don't have a choice but to use it because I am low. I have been able to let some cheesecake and coconut cream pie steep and it does make a difference. Everything I've had has been decently right out of the mailbox!

What's the steeping routine for mbv juice? I've read cap off, dark cool place...I've read cap on in the sun to get warm....? ? ?


What I've learned from a master juice crafter: Caps off only very briefly - as in a half an hour at a time-only if there's alcohol in your liquid. Otherwise steeping means allowing it to age, really; shake it daily if you like, but basically leave it alone in a dark, preferably cool place. Sunlight is *not* recommended for nicotine liquids. There are some who use warm water baths or ultrasonic cleaners to speed up a steep, that's another story and I will let one of them speak to that.

I still can't figure out why the moo juice tasted like butterscotch. I thought maybe I was crazy, but the husband tried it and agreed. I'll let that steep.

The peanut butter was really good on inhale, but had a funky taste on exhale. I'll let that one steep, too.

Banana nut bread was pretty good right off the bat, but I wasn't getting much nut flavor. Steeping this one, too.

Graham cracker was super strong. I didn't get any extra flavor shots...so I'll let that sit for a bit and try again.

Luckily I have a juice surplus at the moment and don't need to break any of these out right away.

Peanut Butter was good for me. It is spot on Peanut Butter. That said I got Graham Cracker to mix with PB. Much better. I think Graham needs to age a bit though.

Moo Juice took a few weeks. When I first got it, it was all strawberry and almost no Moo. lol Now it is a very nice blend of both.

I've found that their single flavor fruits require little to no steeping. The flavors you have will need some time but the Moo will be good to go before the others. I understand not wanting to waste any but it is good to try them every so often to see how they change over time. Taste is so subjective that some like a particular juice right away while others insist on several weeks steep time before it gets good.

Check out some of the fruits on your next order!!

YES! I was going to try mixing the PB and graham cracker! That's one of my favorite foods :D

I am trying to be patient...not my strong suit.

I have a ton of fruit flavors right now, so I was trying to branch out a little. I've heard MBV fruits are quite good, though. I will definitely be trying them.

For me personally, the PB takes at least 2 weeks, my mix is typically 50/50 3 flavor shots or 65/35 2 flavor shots. I like my juice really strong and the more ratio of VG tends to mute the flavor hence the extra flavors shots. Can't help with the others as I don't care for them much.
