So jealous of all the vape mail being received. Its sad because even once it gets here I'm going to have to wait for it to steep. I was just about to say I don't even remember what I ordered but it immediately came back to me. Blue moo, moo, tropical, and caramel apple. Is it bad that I've already got my cart filled for the next order? After waiting on my current supply to steep I'm worried that I'm going to have to go back to the b&m here. After tasting mbv I can't stand my previous adv. so next order a massive bottle of dream bar, another massive bottle of moo and I'm thinking sherbet but I'm considering sticky bun. Also gonna try to make a peaches and cream flavor using 4 parts peach and 2 parts whipped cream. Has anyone used the make your own e juice option? Or should I just order a bottle of whipped cream and a bottle of peach? I hear so many things about whipped cream being awesome it may make sense to just have a bottle of whipped cream if it's so amazing.
I have a bottle of the banana cream pie that's steeped for a week and it definitely tastes like bananas. I guess when I was ordering I forgot that I don't like the taste of bananas. Definitely heart broken by the honeydew being a bust. So the search continues for a fruit flavor to replace my honeydew. Maybe that peach will do it. Man I just rambled

Love the MBV 'create your mix' option. Did one I called Blue Heaven -blueberry/raspberry with dash of cotton candy - bottle almost gone! Just got new order in with a Sweet Tea Float and my NanaCandy (among LoTs more!) Gonna try what ya'all mentioned about leaving the caps off for a night or two. Tried the Black Licorice right from the get-gonand WhOa Nellie! Black licorice all right but a tad overpowering..

I've had mine steeping with the caps off for a week. Should I put them back on now and just let them set or should I just leave them there capless?

As with everything else about steeping, answers to this will vary, but I don't like leaving my caps off longer than about 48 hours. The point of caps off steeping is to evaporate any alcohol used in the mixing process. Much past 48 hours and you're actually evaporating *juice*. Steeping with the caps *on* is a different matter and serves a different purpose - caps *on* steeping is to give the juice time to combine evenly (which is also why shaking helps). So caps on steeping can go on for weeks, even months... if you steep the same bottle for months with the cap *off*, you'll have an empty bottle. :)

So try them out if you wish, and if they taste weak/floral/chemically, put the caps back on, give them a good shake, and put them in a cool dark place for another week.

Other people will have other methods, but that's mine and the rationale behind it.

Picked out 3 flavors to try. Just got this week. Solar Flare, Butter Rum, Peanut Butter. SF & BR not too impressed. Maybe some steep time will help. But the PB, wow!! Can't say it's my most favorite of all time, but it's really good. My stomach actually started growling lol. And huge cloud of vapor too. I'll be driving my co-worker crazy tomorrow lol. He's still using those old fashioned tobacco, smoke things lol. MT Baker also sent me a sample of coconut cream pie. I haven't tried it yet tho. Super fast delivery !!

I hear graham cracker and peanut butter are good mixed together.

I have seen you type this 4 times in the past 2 days...... Do you have it in a notepad somewhere to copy/paste? lolol

Have not heard anyone else use my method for steeping, but what I do is sit it in front of the vent from my heater for 24 hours. My heater doesn't blow real hot air ,only about 120 at the hottest..Then put it on the shelf for at least a month before trying. I only shake it when I first get it & again when i put it on the shelf. But I try to keep my stock above 2,000 mls at all times so I never need to rush it
