I haven't tried either, but I did place an order with Mech Sauce this past Sunday night. The only thing that I can say is that if you are in a hurry for juice, then you may not want to order from Mech Sauce. My order is still "waiting for fulfillment." I knew this was going to be the case after reading several reviews on ECF. It is my understanding that they are a very small company and working through growing pains. Their website even has a statement regarding the wait time and the efforts that they are making to speed up order processing and delivery. With all of that said, the price is certainly right and hopefully, the juice will be worth the wait.
I don't think anyone can beat the prices at Mech Sauce. I did order from them, and while I haven't thrown it out, I don't know that I'll ever finish any of them. I found the flavors that I ordered vaguely sweet, but otherwise muddy and nondescript. I can't tell three of the four apart without reading the label. And, it's strangely thin. That said, there's a recent thread around here somewhere with lots of positive things to say, beyond the price.
When I started vaping, I bought juice exclusively from MBV. I found a few a liked, more that I didn't, but the price and service are great. More recently, I've been purchasing from Mad Town Vapor, which is at a similar price point as Mount Baker. I prefer MTV, but that's me. You can look them up in JuiceDB, for other opinions though.

That's good information on Mech Sauce NoFumus. I purchased 180ml for $30.00 with the philosophy that if even 2 of the flavors are keepers then I am still ahead of the game. If not, well then I will dump them all on my son... I guess you don't know unless you try.
Honestly, I hope you like them. That was my thinking going into it, too. I got 120 ml for $24 incl shipping, and I don't regret the the purchase particularly. I just won't order again. FWIW, I ordered Empress Milk, Galaxy Guts, Tsunami Sauce & Medusa Milk. They're over a month old now, and the Medusa Milk is almost not bad now. For me, much better than the other three.
I've tried both, and currently have multiple bottles of steeped juice (as per my opinion).
Here is a quick summary of pros and cons about the companies and their juices, again, as per my opinion:
+ Vape Wild
-Shipping: Fast - Of the 3 orders I placed with them, all were shipped after 1-3 days of placing the order. Worth noting is the fact that I have placed both large and small orders with them.
-Prices: Very fair - Any company who charges <$20/120ml will tempt me to at least try their juices. Cost of shipping is also fair; they give you the option to choose how you want your order shipped (Pay more = Get it quicker, but you can certainly opt out of fast shipping and save some cash).
-Juice : Description: Above average - This is an issue that I've had with plenty of vendors. Their juices don't taste like how they were described. Of the 12+ flavors I've tried, not one tasted "off" or "strange". I wanted what I ordered, and received what I wanted.
-Juice (general): Above average - Simply put, their juices taste great. All of the flavors I have tried were mild to strong, with none being too weak or toned down. As far as I am concerned, they use quality ingredients.
-Overall: Great - I loved 9/12 of the flavors I received, enjoyed 1/12, and wasn't too fond of 2/12.
+ Mech Sauce
-Shipping: Below average/slow - My order from them shipped exactly 6 days after it was placed, and arrived 3 days later. If I recall correctly, many other forum members have mentioned that recently they have been bombarded with orders. That said, I like that on their Facebook page, they update their customers regarding which orders they have shipped.
-Prices: Outstanding - At $15/120ml, you cannot go wrong. They do not overcharge on their juices, like some companies do. Shipping is $5 or $6, flat rate (i.e. no shipping options - if this has changed, please feel free to update me).
-Juice : Description: Slightly above average - I found that some of their juices were not as described. After steeping for a week, they started tasting closer to their descriptions, but not how I expected. Either way, their juices taste close to how they are described, with some tasting exactly as described.
-Juice (general): Slightly above average - Some of their juices tend to taste muted, while others have a moderate amount of flavoring, and others an abundance. Their juices do not taste off/"peppery". As far as I can tell, they too are using quality ingredients. If they would bump up the flavor just slightly, my rating would easily jump up to an "Above average."
-Overall: Great - I ordered 6 juices from them. Loved 3, enjoyed 2, not too sure about 1.
I'll put it this way: Mech Sauce is the company that you order 120ml bottles from, once you've tried a fair number of their juices. Vape Wild is also that company, with the added comfort of knowing that there is a good chance that you will enjoy flavors that you've never tried from them.
Either way, both are relatively inexpensive, and both are worth trying.

I have ordered from Vape Wild several times and I will do business with them in the future too. Their Sweet Complexity is in my daily vaping rotation, I also like their Lemonade. My wife also uses a few flavors from Vape Wild. They also sell some coils and other often needed hardware at good prices. I would recommend that you give them chance.

Thanks for the additional info. It seems that the general consensis is that the Mech Sauce juices require a good steep. I anticipated that this was the case. I have been using my ultrasonic cleaner to "speed steep" some liquids and the Mech Sauce order will definitely be headed for UC.
If you don't mind my asking, how much does one of those run, and can you recommend a good place to purchase? Thanks.
I purchased mine from Amazon.com. They also sell good ones on Ebay and Harbour Freight. It ran around $90.00 with free shipping. They make less expensive models and you could most likely get a decent one for around $35 - $40 that would do the job. The one I purchased is the iSonic P4810 Commercial Ultrasonic Cleaner, 2.1Qt/2L, White Color, Plastic Basket, 110V. (Link below if it works...)
It holds 2 quarts, has a 30 minute cycle timer, and also offers heat as an option. I decided to pay a little more to get a larger size inner tank, 30 minute cycle, and the option for heat. The longer cycles are important or otherwise, you will find yourself getting up every 3 -5 minutes to start the UC again. I have not used the heat option for speed steeping because the cleaner heats up the water during the cycles to a nice, warm temperature. I just start my cycles with warm water and let the cleaner warm up the water. I have used the heat cycle to clean my wife's jewelry. That was my justification (excuse) to purchase the UC...
You can use the search feature just above your name on the upper right of the screen to search for ultrasonic cleaners. I'm relatively new at this, and I started a thread on ultrasonic cleaners and steeping about 3 weeks ago and received some good advice from more experienced members. You will see that "speed steeping" with a UC, and other methods such as crock pots, running bottles under warm water, all receive different levels of feedback based on the member. So far, I have been very pleased with the results. Let me know if I can provide any further information. Good luck!

Thanks! I'll search for the thread. Maybe I could justify the $30-40 range, 'cause I just got some Tiramisu that smells SO GOOD. On the other hand, for $90, I think I need to learn patience or remember to order ahead.
Understood and all good options. As I mentioned earlier, I just told my wife that I was purchasing a ultrasonic for jewelry cleaning. That worked well until she walked into my office and saw five bottles of juice in the "jewelry cleaner..." BTW, I also use it to clean my drip tips. Just trying to provide a little more justification...Here is the link to the thread.

That's too funny. Once they had steeped. I"m sure those juices were real gems.
Thanks for the link.
I haven't tried Mech Sauce yet, though I have been meaning to. I can tell you that Vape Wild is my goto vender. Great flavors. I love most that I've tried and haven't had an unvapeable one yet. And even at max vg, the flavor comes through very well. I don't know if MS does, but you also get a lot of freebies with your orders. At least 3 each time, including a mystery flavor, which is fun.
I think you mean Vape Wild. Sweet Complexity is one of my favorites, as well.
I just put our first order in to Mech Sauce, so I can't comment on them quite yet. The prices are great, though, which is what made me want to try them. They have a good selection of flavors to choose from, too.
We have ordered a couple of times from Vape Wild, and really enjoyed what we got from them. The free samples with each order are also a great "hook". They sent a sample of Tiramisu with our first order. This is a flavor that I would never have ordered on my own - it just did not sound appealing to me. I tried the sample, and ended up very happily enjoying the entire 10 ml bottle. Yes, I ordered and paid for another bottle on my next order.
Since my daughter is gluten sensitive, I am always on the hunt for good dessert flavors that will satisfactorily mimic the treats that she cannot have. Vape Wild has a few that she likes, and I ordered a few from Mech Sauce that I think will appeal to her.
