I agree. Haven't enjoyed anything from MBV. Hawk Sauce was just okay. You get what you pay for.
Oh man...that's disappointing to read! I just placed an order from them as I had heard good things, so I hope my experience fares better. May I ask what flavors you tried, Chevyluvv?
I've been vaping MBV juices for over a year. While I didn't love everything,
my re-orders for over a year have been 555, caramel coffee, sticky bun, pink
champagne, caramel apple, peanut butter, hawk sauce, and unflavored.
I also enjoy some of their other flavors but don't order them a lot, such as
orange dream bar, root beer, etc.
I don't order exclusively from MBV, but they have always gotten the biggest
chunk of my juice business. They also have the best customer service
in the business, the fastest shipping of anyone, and I've never gotten
'ripped off' of nicotine. Geesh.

That's a very accusatory post without any details! Not that I have a dog in the fight, but to make this post without any further info doesn't seem right.
I've been ordering from MBV for a while, and while not all their juices are great, there's certainly a few winners IMO and they have the fastest shipping around.
Well as the saying goes, taste is subjective. I'm never without Hawk Sauce...it's the flavor that got me off tobacco. I don't have many other flavors from them and some of their flavors have not impressed me, but I can say that about any vendor.
Also, I order on Friday and have it my hand on Monday in South Carolina...while some vendors won't ship a Friday order til the next Wednesday. I've never felt ripped off my MBV.

I have liked a couple of their flavors enough to purchase the cool 236 ml bottles. At just over seven cents a ml with coupon, this is a bargain price for a good flavor. Nothing but fast courteous service from a vender on the opposite side of the country from me.
Taste being subjective, the OP probably should have discussed the problem with the MBV folks before airing his opinion anywhere.

Can't say I've ever been disappointed with them. Their flavors have all been good from my experience, even the ones I didn't like were recognizable and accurate, it just didn't turn out to be something I liked to vape.
When I order extra flavor shots, I sometimes end up needing to dilute, because this can ruin a juice, and they give you what you order.
One time, for a single 30 ml bottle I'm pretty sure they accidentally gave me zero nic instead of the six mg I had ordered. The only reason I suspect that is the impact trying to vape that one bottle over time (several hours without any other juice) had on my mood. However, even if my suspicion is correct, one bottle out of a fairly large number of orders is an acceptable oops rate.
They do need a good thorough steep, and will benefit from a couple of hot water baths to get the steeping moving. Aside from that, I've been very impressed. Not necessarily with the juice quality alone, but with the price/quality ratio, as well as the stellar service. I've tried quit e a few juices over the years.

Social justice warriors are going to come out of the woodwork to defend a company they aren't even associated with just to tell you that you aren't entitled to your own opinion and that it's wrong anyway. Fact of the matter is that MBV is cheap garbage that isn't much better than gas station vape juice, but they won't admit that. They don't like you poking holes in their self created realities.
I've been ordering MBV since I started vaping almost 2yrs ago. The grape has been my ADV for over a 1 1/2yrs now. I order a 236ml bottle about once every month or 2.
I've only had one "mess up" with them. They forgot to add the flavor shot to my 236ml bottle. I emailed them and they apologized and said they said they would send me a new bottle. I noticed that the mg was wrong on the replacement bottle order, so I emailed them again to try and stop the order before it went out. They sent me another shipping email with the correct bottle. In the end I ended up with 3 236ml bottles of grape. One without flavor shots, one a lower nic, and one the correct order. Their customer service is awesome. They sent me 3 huge 236ml bottles of juice to fix my order. In the end I ended up with almost 700mls of juice for $32.00.
I've tried about 20 or so flavors from them and I only found one that was bad. The vanilla custard I got smells and tastes nothing like custard. Everything else I have tried has been good. I always order new flavors without flavor shots first and then add them if needed on the next order.

I always order the base juice from them (no extra shots). I adjust from there.
I have an aging process that I Stick to. I find that to little aging gets a blah flavor. I work to get past that for clearer flavors.
There are always exceptions, but I do take notes for future vaping.

Contact the vendor. I have been ordering from Mt. Baker Vapor for over a year now, and have gotten stellar customer service from them, even when the mistake was my fault.
That being said, have you been shaking the bottle every time you fill or top off? Have you let the eliquids steep? There are some flavors that we get from MBV that are good to us right out of the mailbox, and others that we let steep for varying amounts of time before we like them. I tend to prefer cream/custard/bakery eliquids, and for me these need to steep for at least two weeks before they taste right to me. Depending on your pg/vg ratio and how many flavor shots you get, your eliquids may need a longer steep time before coming into their own.

Why do basic flavors like Blueberry or Mojito taste nothing like the real thing? Mine have steeped plenty long enough because I couldn't enjoy them at all. The flavor did not improve.
That's so cool! They are so nice there and try to make things right with customers.
Yep I order with no shots first then adjust. Many are fine with no shots and too many flavor shots can really screw up perfectly good juice.
I used mount baker exclusively for about 8 months. I switched to velvet cloud personally. Mt. Baker IS GOOD, but Velvet cloud is better. I am somewhat sensitive to PG and have to have max VG blends. Sure, Velvet cloud is expensive, but when i'm putting juice in a 600 dollar vaporflask/kayfun 4 setup, or a 200 dollar Reo Grand setup, it seems worth it.
Notable flavors from Mount Baker:
Caramel Candy
Hawk Sauce
Solar Flare (menthol with lots of citrus flavors)
Strawbana
It's good juice, but when I stopped purchasing from them, some of their juices wouldn't blend well, and I just wasn't getting quite enough flavor.
To all interested, if your buying MBV for max VG, avoid extra flavor shots. It just increases the amount of PG in the blend

Everyone has different tastes, referring to tongue and nasal passages. I have shot out my taste buds over the years of abuse of smoking, drinking and such.
I do find that leaving MBV liquid open for a couple of weeks seems to improve the flavor on some but not all of the MBV juices. This seems true of most juice vendors who may or may not produce the juice only when ordered or do not pre-sale steep properly.
I try a small sample bottle first to see if I like a juice. By sample, I do not mean free, just the smallest bottle offered. If I like it, I buy larger size, if not, I may try a different VG/PG ratio or I move on. This with all my juice purchases no matter the vendor, and I go through juice at a rate of about 10+ ml a day with my Reo.
As to why they taste the way they do, I can not answer. I have the same issues but would never call out the company in a public forum. Seems more proper to try to get resolution by dealing directly with the company or spend money elsewhere.
