Mt. Baker Vapor is awesome.

[roonies]

Which is exactly why, at 6 months, I've stepped it down to 6mg., working on getting to 0mg. nic soon. I love vaping and will keep it as a hobby but don't want to be nic dependent when all of this goes into effect. Going from 12mg. to 6 was pretty painless for me so I don't anticipate going 0 to be all that big of a transition.

Yes, they can tax the ingredients!

Here in Minnesota, anything containing tobacco derived nicotine is taxed at 95%

So if I buy a bottle of Mt Baker Vapor at $5 online, I must write a check to the state for $4.75. Of course, that's a finished product.

If I wanted to order a liter of 100mg nicotine online for $100, I'd owe the state $95 in tax. And I can't legally bring that much in to the state of MN without being a licensed tobacco distributor (and tightly regulated).

Since nicotine is the most expensive component of e-liquid, you can bet that makes a big impact in its retail price. It's already happened here. It will likely happen in other states soon.

I've only been vaping for about a month now. The first juice I got was in a gift pack my friend sent me along with my Ego mini, and it was Mt. Baker Coffee flavor. When I ran out I went to the local vape shop and spent $15 on a 15 ml bottle of something new that tasted great, but not really all that much better than the Mt. Baker coffee I started with. I looked online and I could get a 235 ml bottle of the Mt. Baker for $40, so I ordered it. It came in two days.

Why would anyone pay $1 per ml, when they could pay less than 20 cents per ml? I can understand wanting variety, but that's one hell of a premium to pay for a different mixture of food flavoring added to the same nicotine commodity product.

have you vaped any of it?

have you vaped any of it?

This is what I've vaped so far -

Adam Bomb, Mama's Cookies 12mg - $1/ml I really like this stuff, but it's too expensive. It doesn't taste anything like a fresh cookie, but it sort of has a bit of a molasses and cinnamon flavor. I could vape it all day if it was priced more reasonably.

Uncle Junk's Genius Juice, Jon Wayne 12mg - $1/ml I wasn't all that keen on this stuff at first, but it really grew on me. It's supposed to be a tobacco flavor, but it tastes like citrus and whiskey to me. I might find myself splurging on it again at some point in the future, but at $1 for a few drops of it, it doesn't seem quite worth it. Almost.

Vaperlicious, Vanana cup cake 12 mg - $1/ml I loved the whole bottle, but was pretty much done with it after the bottle was over. I could see myself maybe having a bottle of this around for desert after a special dinner, but probably not. It's above my price point.

Mt. Baker Vapor, Coffee 12 mg 50% VG/50% PG - $0.20/ml I got a small bottle of this from a friend and immediately loved it. I ordered
a huge bottle of it online, and it wasn't quite the same. I've been steeping it, and it has already gotten better by day 2. I imagine it will only get better as I go through the bottle.

Mt. Baker Vapor, Razzleberry Pie 12 mg 20% VG/80% PG - FREE with my order of the coffee. This was a little perfumy, but not bad at all. It had a strong flavor with no steeping, and I could vape it for a day. It probably wouldn't ever become a "go to" flavor for me, but we'll see if it grows on me as I go through the bottle.

If all this stuff was the same price, I think the vaperlicious vanana cupcake would have won. I just can't see paying $1/ml for it when I can probably whip something up at Mt. Baker for 20 cents per ml. They have a banana's foster that I want to try.

Like I said, you can bet other states will follow suit

Some definitely will. Some will let their people cash in on visitors from other states by not having the tax. The real threat is the feds.

 

[fetalbounce]

MBV is my main bulk vendor but I do keep a little of some higher end stuff that I only use a evod worths at night time. I compare with enjoying a fine cigar every once in a while....even though I never smoked cigars. LOL

That mentality makes sense to me. I could see finding a special flavor to splurge on every now and again.

 

[baseballmom]

I like them too I made a yummy mix with the "mix your own thing"-I stick with stuff I think appeals to my taste buds to play it safe-but I do use other vendors to try new stuff that people rave about-mb has great customer service and fast shipping-I know some people HATE their stuff and call them the walmart of vaping, but heck I like them and am saving $ by not going all high end all the time(I will splurge on occasion)-their whipped cream has been a fantastic add in to many juices out there for me and love the bananas gone nuts too!

if you can deal with there flavs then go for it
I couldn't do it

I pay an average of $16 per 30 ml or $27 per 60 ml
for the quality flav I need

I find that to be a lot less expensive then ciggs

Again, in MN you are still responsible for the 95% tax on out of state purchases brought into the state....whether that was via vapemail or in your suitcase.

The Feds cannot tax tobacco products. That power was given to the states, by law.

People will take road trips and avoid the state tax. It might not be strictly legal, but that's the behavior the law encourages.

As for the Feds, they can and do tax tobacco products. The contrary belief is understandable, though, given the sheer size and variety of state taxes on tobacco products.

MBV is real hit or miss with me... liked the thug juice a lot... xtreme ice was pretty good... but 555 menthol was horrible for me...


I am tempted to try the HAWK sauce... is that a lot like thug juice?

Yes it is. Same menthol base but uses different berries.

 

[Kdmkdm69]

You should try mt baker banana cream pie on a rda

 

[Tiktik]

Hawk sauce definitely the must from them. Used to like thug juice, I don't like it anymore. And don't buy fro mbv anymore lol

Hawk Sauce and Thug Juice are nothing alike. Many people say Hawk Sauce tastes like gummy bears or some sort of candy. There is something berry in it, with something else unidentifiable in the background.

I hate berry flavors, and MBV is hit or miss for me as well. But Hawk Sauce is pretty good. It's definitely worth a try. Not a bad risk for $5.99 for 15ml.

Funny....I don't taste any menthol in Hawk Sauce. Will have to pay extra attention next time I vape it.

 

[lasttango]

tried the white out recently…. good stuff...

 

[Bill220]

I received my first order from MBV last week. Just waiting for them to steep to try them.

 

[Juska]

I just did a big order with them (10+ flavors). I already know most of the flavors I like or will like. I've just never actually made the juice myself yet. I'm happily/anxiously awaiting my order Actually I hate waiting and want it right meow.

I tried 3 different MBV flavors yesterday; watermelon, strawberry and pink lemonade. Didn't like any of them. I have yet to try the cotton candy and compare it to another vendor's cotton candy flavor but I'm not too hopeful.

That's a real shame because pink lemonade is one of my favorites. They really got the sourness of the lemons out in that one IMO. Perhaps you're not getting all the flavor? Or just sweet isn't your thing hah!
