I am always shocked when I go into a BM and they have not even heard of most of favs such as Ahlusion and Nirvana. They promote the trendy stuff

I don't think it's about trendiness, it's about their bottom line. 50 % of the selling price goes to the store owner. With all the sales and coupons, a 30 ml bottle of Ahl averages about $ 11 or $ 12. It doesn't make sense for a store owner when their share of a bottle of 5p for example would be higher than the total cost of an Ahl bottle.
Their Tennessee Cured was a RY4ish tobacco which i thought was pretty good, but i haven't tried anything else.
I *think* if you've tried a Blu then you've tried Johnson'sCreek. I imagine that's one of the reasons that JC is HUGE!
Haha. That was a long time ago. Relatively speaking, since 1.5yrs is a lifetime in the dynamic world of vaping.
Can't recall whether I thought highly or not.

I've tried Blu (hated it), and Johnson's Creek Tennessee Cured was one of my first ADVs, I really liked it. I've read this before of the two, but I think it is just a rumor, as they are in no way similar.
No it's not a rumor, they do provide blu with their e-liquid, but they don't use the same liquid in their own lines. I think i came across a faq sometime stating the same. And i agree the liquid in blu is nothing like Tennessee cured.
For sure. I dint't mean that if you've tired Blu then you've tried the JC line, just that that's who made the liquid and that if they make the liquid for Blu then many people have tried JC liquids in one form or fashion.
Yeah maybe there's a JC liquid that's similar, but i do recall Blu being emphatic that their flavors where proprietary. They didn't want people buying a bottle of JC and refilling the cartridges !
Quick Thoughts on MOV Liquids I Have Tried So Far (all in the past 7-10 days):
White Leaf (Vanilla Tobacco): Very good, I get an even mix of Vanilla and a slightly sweet Tobacco, just right, not too sweet. Not a reorder for me. HOWEVER, that is only because I have been tobacco flavors for a little over 4 years now, and I am moving on from tobaccos to fruity dessert type flavors, I don't know why, I am just enjoying them more. If I was sticking with Tobacco, this would be a reorder.
Legendary (Banana Nut Bread): OK. I get more tobacco (cavendish?), chocolate and peanut (?) than banana. This is ok, a little too sweet for my tastes. This would not be a reorder even if I was sticking with tobaccos, just much too sweet and chocolatey for me.
Water Malones: Very, very good. Almost like a watermelon Jolly Rancher, but not nearly that sweet. This might be a reorder, depends on what happens with the other flavors. If you like Watermelon, this is a definite ADV, IMHO.
Nirvana (Fruit Medley): Good. I'm not quite sure about this one. It's good, but I think it might just have way too many fruit flavors going on, and I can swear I get a faint taste of mint, which is not in the description and not what I wanted. This one will go in the steep box. If it does not improve, not a reorder.
Creme de la Crema Line
Omerta (Strawberry Dolce): Just OK. I had very high hopes for this, I really like strawberry but this one really disappointed me. Pretty weak strawberry flavor, and the strawberry I do get is neither ripe nor candy like, it's more like a strawberry that hasn't reached ripeness yet. But to be fair, I think that might be due to the custard mixing in to the already weak strawberry flavor. I will have to revisit this one after a good month or two steeping, but if it does not improve greatly, definitely not a reorder.
Capone (BlueBerry Torte): Will do a short review either tomorrow or Friday, haven't tried it yet.

I think you're right, but a little more never hurt, usually helps.
Thanks for the review ! Unfortunately none of the ones you ordered was something i was considering. Don't really like custards nor watermelon !
The two i re-order from MOV are Southern Gentleman and Americano. Apache and Sunday Morning are occasional purchases.
I am putting in an order of Caramela, Chai Tea Latte and and Coffee and Cream as part of their three pack deal. They do have a running 10 % discount as well with code PBUSARDO
i am also considering Heavenly 7, Shangrila and Caribbean Crush for my next order
They are not made to order but similar to Ahl xPress it just depends how long they've been sitting on the shelves.
I have a sample of Heavenly 7 coming Friday, so if you want to wait, I'll post my thoughts on it. (not something I would usually order, it was a sample swap) As for Shangrila and Caribbean Crush, if you order, please post your thoughts here, they're next on my list to try. I have decided to purchase MOV exclusively, so the more thoughts I can get on their liquids before buying, the better.
Then I think mine are pretty fresh, you can still feel a little sticky residue from the labels on the bottles.
Yeah i would definitely wait for you opinion on H7. I do like all the flavors in there, but not if they are too sweet.
Shagri-la is one of my favs and just taste like a good fruity vape. Not too sweet and not candyish.
