I agree with the above. However hawk sauce is great and a very unique flavor. I reccomend getting a flavor shot or even two for it tho because it can be a subtle flavor. Their rum tobacco and 555 is good. So is strazzle tea but get a couple shots for that. Their fruit loops isn't bad after a couple weeks of steeping.

They've always had great service. Their prices are very good for premix juice. However, I've always felt their flavors leave a lot to be desired. It's largely because of MBV that I got into DIY juices. I knew that I could do better on my own for less money.

I actually did the same. I love the company but the juice is lackluster to me. I started DIY after a large order from MBV and haven't gone back outside the occasional purchase of a really hyped up juice. Even then it is usually just to see if I can clone it.

I have found many juices, from very reputable vendors, to be like that.

I learned about steeping, the best I can, and I stay with that process adamantly. The only variable is is the length of time it sits in a dark, ready to go, drawer until I get to it. I use what i consider are good and accurate mods and my single-coil, hand-wound, toppers are good enough in sales/quality that the vendor should be testing their flavors on them. I try flavors at different wattages.

All because I don't want to return it to the dark drawer with a date label on it. I record it all.

Of all my high-scoring flavors, MBV has the most at 4. I have tried 35.

It's a hobby. I like samplers. If I know that I will be stopping by a lounge, I will take some of those "bad" juices. Or, I PIF to new vapers. I don't waste.

It is like going to garage sales looking for an antique. It's a hobby.

I recently ordered about 10 flavors from MBV. Let all steep around 2 weeks, with daily shaking, before initial try. Really like the watermelon, cinnamon roll and admiral berry crunch. Moo juice is pretty good also. Strawbana, rootbeer, butterscotch, vanilla ice cream need more steep time, especially since some have that alcohol taste, which seems to get better after few hour open top.

Taste and flavor is a really subjective thing. But, early on I realized that I was rushing my whole "steeping" process. I buy in "blocks" of juices now. Three bottle from here, two from there, 4 from another place, half are ones that I like and half are new ones to try that I hope I like. Anyway, I really don't start another group until the last group is done. I have my current batch, the batch that is halfway steeped, and the new batch that I just received. A batch lasts me about 2-3 weeks, so that means the batch that I just got is 5-6 weeks before it gets into a tank. Sometimes I will use a dripper to try flavors to see if I am happy with them, but less so anymore.

I just got Grandma's Cinnamon Danish (Nicoticket) and he said he steeps his for 6 months. Really, that just told me that I shouldn't rush. I warm most in a crock pot for 6 hours, then the top comes off for 24-48 hours for the alcohol to evaporate in a drawer (darkness). A lot of covering the top and shaking during that time, as in 5-6 times a day. Then it is just leaving it in the darkness until its time. Just patience.

I noticed that the flavor quality really went up. Just works for me.

Bought two 30ml bottles at 12mg nic (yeah I subohm at that, and don't notice anything unusual at all), I got the caramel candy with 1 flavor shot and the pumpkin pie with 2 flavor shots.

Let me just say... The caramel with one shot was not enough flavor shots after a 4 hour speed steeping and 7 days regular steeping time, the flavor is now quite muted.
On the other hand the Pumpkin Pie that gas 2 extra shots is overpowering in nutmeg or spices even after the same steeping ritual.

So my suggestion would be (unless you just don't care) to order up small batches with add shots and see how they are after steeping them, you may need to go up or down on the add shots and hope that their manufacturing /mixing process stays consistent enough to make that worth taking notes on the add shots you add and the flavor it produced.

If I just had their caramel candy flavoring I'd add a few drops to the now muted 30ml bottle. And I may VG down the flavor in the Pumpkin Pie as it's super strong in spices.

But I'm not complaining, after all my total bill for 60ml was only $16 with shipping ($0.27/ml), and if I had bought something locally it would have been $60.00

You are more disciplined than me sir. There is no way any GCD is gonna last 6 months in my juice drawer :lol:

I got an order from MBV 2 months ago. I bought Hawk Sauce, Caramel Apple, Banana Cream Pie and Strawberry Shortcake all with 2 extra flavor shots. After 1 month of steeping, they still taste bad. Dont think MBV is worth it.
I like banana cream pie. Hawk Sauce was one I really liked at first at 12 mg nic. My 2nd order I went up to 18 mg nic and I find I just can't vape it anymore. My taste buds changed and I just don't like it anymore now and I have a huge bottle of it. I also like Vanilla Butternut. I find their fruit flavors are unpredictable but the more bakery type so far are nicer.

Cinnamon Roll is one of my favorite MBV flavors. Sticky Bun is also very good.

Cinnamon roll is something heavenly. I have never ordered their premade cinnamon roll, but I use their flavoring(just bought a 4oz bottle of it from flavor west). I mix it at about 17% and it is just awesome.

I am about to order eliquid from here, I have root beer, hawk sauce, cinnamon role. Are these good flavors, I am trying to save money so should I take any liquids out? Should I change any of the flavors? I also have 80 /20 VG 18mg nic with 1 extra flavor shop for each liquid.
I bought hawk sauce about 2 weeks ago with 12mg nic, and I love it. I am still vaping on it now and I think it has to be my favorite flavor!

+1 on the DIY, as a former chef I figured combining flavors would not be a big deal, and....it really isn't. Start small with single flavor recipes and work your way up to more complicated ones. Basically just like cooking. The hardest part I find to be is waiting on the juice to steep. It really is cheap and fairly uncomplicated.

If you've been subohming at 18 mg nic and it doesn't bother you .. umm.. wow. Most people drastically drop the nicotine level from 1/2 to 3/4 when sub ohm. I'd venture to say that 6mg or less is the norm. If you order the e juice and it's too harsh, gives headaches, stomach ills, dizzyness, then the nic is too high. The best manner to lower it is to buy the same flavor juice in zero nic and mix equal parts with the nic juice to cut the nic in half.

The rule of thumb is "the better the delivery device, the more juice consumed and the more nicotine inhaled." Good luck,
I have no issues subohming 18 on an onslaught atty tri coiled at just over .2 I was one of the folks trying to reduce my nic level and for a time I was vaping at 6 nic. The problem was I ended up burning through 20 ml per day. When I was buying "premium" juices at $20 for a 30ml bottle that got pricy really fast. Bumped my nic level back up and am now making my own juice for pennies. Couldn't be happier.

Hello, I ordered from Mt. Baker Vapor when I first started out buying e-liquid on-line from different suppliers. Since then I have upgraded to better quality juice, but....Mt. Baker Vapor is a good choice for decent e-liquid for a decent price. Personally I like fruit flavors and creams/custards/ and vanillas. Their strawberry was good and also the grape if you like this flavor type....I just went down from 18mg. to 6mg. because I wen to an eleaf 30watt and Kangertech Nano. It's a good step down with the increased vapor production.

I am not sure why they are still in the business.
