Can someone help me. I have read the whole thread but I didn't take notes and I'm old.:oops: I am getting ready to make a purchase and only want to order juice that's good right out of the mailbox assuming (I know) it would be safe to order the 50ml sizes on those. Anyway, between here and customer reviews at MBV I think those would be:


Good from mailbox?:
Sticky bun... 50 mil as everyone seems to like it.
Maple pecan... MBV says its pretty strong.
Sugar Cookie.. already have experience with it.
Pie Crust
Fudge Brownie
Yellow Cake

may need steeping but is it good unsteeped too?:
American tobacco
USA Blend
Peach Tobacco

PS: I will say that I have over a dozen flavors purchased 6 months ago and I got soap/flowery so they've been sitting that long and are now vapable (except the watermelon... still a loss) but I don't want to wait that long to vape anything. They are all 50/50 no shots or one shot and since then I've learned that's too much VG for me so will order 70/30 this time.

Oh, and while I'm asking, what is the difference between cinnamon roll and sticky bun. I have some cinnamon roll and its delicisious but I can't vape much of it as cinnamon burns my mouth if I do.

How is Fudge Brownie? It sounds delicious, and it's on my wishlist. O_O

The only one good from the mailbox is sticky bun that's on your list all others need steeped.

Happy Birthday!!!

Off topic alert!!! Way back during the 1993 Great Flood of the Mississippi River, people would get out of town by WALKING across on the tops of the dams, because that was all that was left. Yeppers, that was a long time ago. We will now return to our regularly scheduled topic.
off topic reply alert! :)
my mom lived on the Illinois river at that time and everyone was using dingies (i think they called them john-boats) LOL

Hi guys, I asked a few pages back but my question got lost in a sea of new posts :).
I got a couple of smoktech vivi novas ( I think smoktech offers great price/quality). I started using them but I seem to get a lot of dry/burn hits and I'm thinking it might be my 70% vg juice, would that be right?.
P.D. Happy birthday Rainfall!Hope you have an awesome day.
my reply prob got lost in my "quote 8 ppl" post..but it wasn't this detailed LOL
i haven't had any problems with dry/burn hits...other than having volts up way too high (and/or tank too empty)...of *course* that was when i chose to go big on the draw...mouth full of burning capacitor taste! BLEKKKK! patooey! (i consider that user error)
I think i need to keep the tank fuller and/or adjust the voltage down when running on emptyish. It will be easier to not worry about flavor boredom when my order arrives.
I do twist the juice around periodically.
I also kind of think letting the juice sit in the tube overnight alters the flavor in a not great way.
I don't think any of these things are a problem with the vivi...but issues with my "practices" LOL

(i'm using 50/50, 12mg in a mini or XL vivi nova with an ego twist)

vg = thicker, more vapor, less flavor (usually)

pg = thinner, less vapor, more flavor, little more throat hit (subjective)

Nic will add throat hit. the more nic the more throat hit (to my understanding). But 12mg shouldnt be really noticeable from 6mg.

I use anywhere from 20-80% VG. Not a big difference really to me. Vg heavy juices might be a little smoother, but not by alot. I usually try to get around 50/50. Current mix today i think is closer to 75% vg.

Not sure what your peppery taste it. It could be Nic I guess. But wouldnt think that low would be that much taste. Im currently vaping 6, 9 and 12 juices. And some 0 when im testing new mixes. Not a huge difference to me. Wish I could help more on the pepper taste.


EDIT: i hadnt refreshed since before lunch. SO this was for Sass. But I think her questions were answered already. Ill leave it here anyway.

Note to self: remember to refresh before you hit the reply button !

Just loaded up 10 tanks with our new MBV flavors for my sister and I to test.

Just now coming out of the Nicotine coma I put myself in from all that testing:laugh:

First I have to say, I can't believe how spot on some of these flavors are.

We ordered all with 1 extra flavor shot. They are all 50/50 12 mg nic.

RazzleBerry -- This one is off the hook(do people still say this-lol) and my favorite. Very smooth and not to sweet. I am very excited about this one as I liked a simillar flavor from another vendor and this one is better.

555- It's ok, I'm kind of disappointed! My favorite all day vape is Prime 15 from Halo. I was really hoping this one would replace it as Halo is way to expensive. I'm thinking of reordering this without an extra flavor shot to see if I like it better. If anyone has suggestions of an MBV that might get closer tho Halo Prime then you would be my new best friend:D

Pineapple Upside Down
Are you kidding me -- fricken spot on! My mom makes the best P-up down cake and this taste just like it. A little to sweet to be an all day vape for me but a nice treat vape.

Cinnamon Roll -- Awesome and tastes just like a cinnamon roll. Another one to sweet for ADV. Can't wait to try this one with my coffee tomorrow.

Bananas Foster
Ohh so smooth. Not to sweet. Definitely a banana flavor but I can't put my finger on the other flavors. I have never had banana foster anything in my life so don't know what to compare this to. I really like this one and could Vape it for long period of time.

Banana Nut Bread
On the fence on this one. I think I need to vape it for a good couple hours. Don't dislike it but not jumping for joy either.

Chocolate Mint
I'm not a fan. I love a good chocolate vape. My sister really wanted this one and she is not a fan either. For me I just don't like mint anything. I taste chocolate and mint just like the description. She says to her it tastes like chocolate flavored with crest toothpaste.

Moo Juice
Really flavorful and interesting. Very sweet but not sweet - can't explain it. I think I like it but not sure - lol
I need more time with this one.

Blue Moo
Not a fan but I do want to try more before I really decide.

Caramel Apple
Wow-- Love it! Funny thing is I taste Caramel with hint of apple. My sister tastes Green Apple with a very slight hint of caramel.
I will say I would like to reorder this one with no flavor shot added. I think I would like it even better muted out a bit.

In the past I've ordered juice from other vendors and hated them so much that I just plain threw them away.

Out of the 10 we ordered there is not one that I would throw out.

As of right now there is definitely 3 that I would reorder which is a complete success to me.

In my humble opinion you should try to add some menthols to your list. I find that vaping all sweet stuff makes me lose the flavor quickly so I tend to switch between a menthol (Solar flare: oj + menthol :] ) and my sweet flavor. Extreme Ice and Spearmint are really good. Now the difference to me between cinnamon and sticky bun is just the cinnamon. CB has it SB doesn't. I also find that SB is a lot sweeter and more buttery. Hope I helped :)

I have a 6-month-old 50 mil bottle of graham cracker that has turned very dark brown over time... almost black. It was good from the mail but very strong (will not come out of carto/attys) and I hit overload on it so now its a flavor I just don't like plus I don't like to use dark juices as I fly through cartos that way. (Note: sugar cookie turned dark brown too but not as densely as GC) So, my question... is sticky bun dark like that? My cinnamon roll never got dark but I don't know what else is in sticky bun.

Hey guys... I figured since you guys are the experts, this would be a good place to ask :) I'm a new vaper, and I'm still learning the ins and outs of what's good. My first juice order was from MBV on 4/5/13 - had them since 4/8 - so they've had about 10-11 days to "steep" since I got them. I'd be lying if I said I didn't try them right away, keeping in mind that they still had to steep.. and I'm trying to find/understand the right balance of flavors/taste.... I realize that everyone's taste is subjective.

I ordered Caramel Apple, Cinnamon Roll, Afternoon Delight, and Brown Sugar, all with 1 extra flavor shot. I got them all with 50/50 PG/VG, because I think I read that the more VG you get, the better/more flavor you'll taste and with more PG, there's more vapor and/or more TH out of your juices... I also think I saw that the more VG blend you get, the thicker the liquid and the harder it is for your delivery system to burn the juice. I'm not so concerned with TH as I am with tastiness :) two of them (caramel apple and afternoon delight) I got with 12mg nic and the other two I got with 6mg. Since I am just starting out, I thought the 50/50 would be a good jumping off point, as well as the low nic. So far, I've tried the caramel apple (@12mg), afternoon delight (@12mg), and the cinnamon roll (@6mg) - haven't got to the brown sugar (@6mg) yet - only because I screwed up of one of the two evod tanks I had (don't ask, long story lol). My setup is the kanger evod on either a twist or spinner, running 3.8v on both batteries. No preference on volts for me since I'm still trying to find that even balance.

My issue is this... on the flavors that have the higher nic content (which isn't very high, I know), I seem to get a peppery coating in my mouth/throat. I don't know if that qualifies as a TH to be honest, but it isn't pleasant whatsoever - it's almost off-putting and overpowers the flavor of the juice, especially the caramel apple... I don't know if maybe I didn't understand what I needed when I ordered the PG/VG combo, but I thought the 50/50 would be a good starting point for a newbie. I also don't know if I got the nic level wrong, but I don't think I want to go higher in fear that it will get worse. The lowest I can go on the volts is 3.3. I've tinkered with the voltage on the batteries, but I'm not going much over 4v - it gets too intense for me..

Anyway, do you all think I need a better combination of factors? More of this? Less of that? I'd really like to order more flavors but I think I'm getting the combination wrong and getting suboptimal results...

Thanks everyone... I appreciate your input. ;)
Your experience sounds just like mine did. So, I'm an experienced vapor but new to MBV juices. I did notice that with MBV juices they have a little more punch in the very back of the throat, but that doesn't sound like what you are talking about if you feel it in your mouth. Can I ask you, if you exhale through your nose, do you get an unpleasant stinging? That was what I used to get nose and mouth stinging and nobody seemed to have an answer other that PG sensitivity. It turns out that I was not running my voltage high enough. What happens is, if you don't atomizer the juice well enough then you get micro particles of un atomized juice in your vapor. If you have "raw" juice on your tongue you know it stings. What resistance coil are you using? Steeping even longer does help, but try to crank it up as long as it doesn't dry out the coil. For example, I have a 2ohm coil running at 4.8 volts now and it could go higher. Oh, and VG = more vapor PG = more flavor and a little more punch, but not the stingy kind in my experience. You should be able to exhale through your nose without stinging once it's hot enough. This is just my opinion and people will offer different points of view. Hopefully you will find what works. Don't do what I did and try to just live with a stinging vape. Let me know how it goes.

Jeez... glad I got my stuff sorted out.
Rainfall from hell, flooding all over. Not only is my car essentially stuck in the parking lot since both exits are flooded, every major road out of town has to pass under a bridge. Guess what? They're all flooded
Even if I could get my car out of the parking lot, I couldn't get it out of town...



happy birthday to me...
OT: I hope you can swim:)
Happy Birthday!! :D

That's funny I because I just ordered a really popular juice from another vendor a little while ago to see what else is out there and the disclaimer on this vendors site says their formula tastes best at the 65vg/35pg ratio. I threw caution to the wind and went with the recommended ratio for this particular vendor against my recent advice here and better judgement. With this one, I figured 92 stellar, glowing reviews without mention of changing the ratio to more pg, less vg had to be good just the way it comes, right? Lol... This is a fickle thing, I see! ;)

Don't do what I did and try to just live with a stinging vape. Let me know how it goes.

To be honest, I ordered the evod tanks with my starter kit and I don't honestly know what the resistance the atty heads are that come with the evods out of the box - even with doing a quick scan of MVS' site where I ordered it, I can't find that info but I ordered extra heads to replace the current atty heads (when needed) and I got the 2.4 ohm ones based on the information there. I would hope the ones I initially got with the kit would be the same resistance buuuuut....

I had been running my batteries at or near 3.8v (meaning that's what the dial is turned to at the bottom of both the vision spinner and ego twist batteries I got). I thought I tried running it higher than 4v on the dial settings once but it made me choke so I turned it back down a bit.

I hadn't considered it to be "unatomized" juice but that's definitely a good possibility. I'll try it again at a higher voltage and see what happens. I don't know if it's stinging, an unpleasant taste, or both to be honest.. It's REALLY hard to describe the exact feeling or sensation.

I'll keep you updated and thank you!! :)

Hi Sassington - I'm not much help here, but I just wanted to say that I get my juice at 50/50 and in both 12 mg's and 6 mg's and I've never had that happen to me. I haven't tried most of the juices that you mentioned (except for Cinnamon Roll which isn't working out so well for me). I do tend to vape at a low voltage - I think I've yet to go over 3.9, no matter what juice I'm using. Everything tastes burned or nasty to me higher (which seems kind of weird!)

Jeez... glad I got my stuff sorted out.

Anyway, between here and customer reviews at MBV I think those would be:

to be honest, the only ones that I've liked straight out of the mail box are my minty one's - especially Vanilla ice. It gets better and better as time goes by, but I do love it from day one!! Thank you for asking about the difference between Cinn roll and sticky bun - I've been curious about that too!

And the difference between cinnamon roll and sticky bun is sticky bun has a lot less cinnamon and more creamy flavor

Thanks for this - I am definitely adding Sticky bun to my next order!! :)

To be honest, I ordered the evod tanks with my starter kit and I don't honestly know what the resistance the atty heads are that come with the evods out of the box - even with doing a quick scan of MVS' site where I ordered it, I can't find that info but I ordered extra heads to replace the current atty heads (when needed) and I got the 2.4 ohm ones based on the information there. I would hope the ones I initially got with the kit would be the same resistance buuuuut....

I have that same kit and the EVOD's and I "think" they are 2.5 resistance. Good luck with everything!! :)


As for me, I was hoping my vape mail would be here but no such luck. Something to look forward to tomorrow, though. :D And it's kind of a good thing as my allergies decided to kick in today so I can't smell anything anyway!! :p

Another comment from the peanut gallery

that tongue/mouth peppery burning sensation could be an allergy to either PG or VG - but it does sound like you can vape juices with a blend.. just not some of them.

I go all VG - or as much as possible in juice and so far have not had any wicking issues in any of my delivery devices. I love my vapor plumes! sometimes I have to fan the cloud to see my screen :)

At 12mg - some of my juices are just perfect.. and there are a couple that just wreck my throat.. one that even at 6mg doesn't taste right to me. I have a bunch of no nicotine juices - I am a chain vaper and not at all concerned about it.

I only have one juice higher than 12mg - one of my very first juices from when I started vaping.. from a different vendor.. triple flavor and I cut it with straight VG to get it vapable.

Opal, I have a question for you, as an all VG user - I've been trying some all VG because I have been having an issue with itchy skin, etc. I have VERY sensitive skin so this could be from anything - and it didn't really start until 3 weeks in to vaping so I don't think it's the PG but I do want to rule it out. I saw that MBV has 100% VG and 70% VG/30% distilled water - I'm just curious as to why one might choose one over the other? (I hope that makes sense!!) I went with the 70/30 but I honestly had no idea what to choose - I just figured VG is thick and the distilled water might help thin it and not mute the flavor which I believe can happen with VG (?)

Our vape equipment works with voltage in conjunction with resistance. In other words, we should not consider only voltage or only resistance, since they both work relatively. There are many vaping charts, but this is a good one. Some juices, like my MBV Red White & Blue, seem to require the lowest voltage and lowest resistance possible. The chart is a great tool to help us find a sweet spot for pairing voltage and resistance on our juice devices.

The perfect time to vape through the juices you aren't crazy about...when you can't smell anything :)

I'm not Opal, but one major difference between the 2 VG formulas is viscosity. The all VG is thick, and the water helps thin it out. For example, if you are using a top coil, you might prefer the thinner juice to improve wicking. Additionally, the water might help keep the flavor from tasting muted. I hope this helps...

Thanks for that chart - it's very interesting. I do realize now that on some things I've replaced the heads with lower resistance ones (1.8), which is probably why I can't really go over the 3.8 or 3.9. But my protank, which I'm using now, I should be able to go up higher, but that doesn't work for me at all. But I'm guessing that's probably party due to the juice itself...?

It does help - but it makes me wonder why, though? I went with the 70 vg/30 distilled water for the exact reasons you stated (though I seem to use only bottom coils). So, I guess i'm just curious, given the options between the two, why would someone choose 100 vg? It just seems the 70/30 makes more sense (to someone who has no experience at all with this! ) :blush:

It could be due to the juice, and it could be due to your palette. For me, the biggest issue when I started vaping was the juice. Everything about it is incredibly subjective, and each juice seems to require a bit of adjustment. Another issue could be the coil head in the ProTank, since we cannot assume that your 2.4ohm head works the same as my 2.4ohm head. There are QC issues with all of these devices, and some of them are not the same. So, it could also be the equipment itself. If you are getting good flavor and vapor, by the way, there is no need to increase voltage. As for the mix options, it is again subjective in terms of flavor and performance. An all VG formula will give you just a bit more vapor than the 70/30 mix. If the quantity of vapor is your most important criterion for a juice, then you would choose the 100% VG. Again, it's all subjective. Luckily, MBV will offer many choices to help you get the best vape that works for you... BTW, even bottom coil devices can have wicking issues with all VG. There is still a wick to feed in bottom coils :)

Another issue could be the coil head in the ProTank, since we cannot assume that your 2.4ohm head works the same as my 2.4ohm head. There are QC issues with all of these devices, and some of them are not the same. So, it could also be the equipment itself. If you are getting good flavor and vapor, by the way, there is no need to increase voltage. As for the mix options, it is again subjective in terms of flavor and performance. An all VG formula will give you just a bit more vapor than the 70/30 mix. If the quantity of vapor is your most important criterion for a juice, then you would choose the 100% VG. Again, it's all subjective. Luckily, MBV will offer many choices to help you get the best vape that works for you... BTW, even bottom coil devices can have wicking issues with all VG. There is still a wick to feed in bottom coils :)

Aha - that makes sense about the vapor!! I do remember reading that for some the vapor is the most important, while for others, it's flavor, or TH or...etc.! You are so right about this all being so subjective, and can come down to taste, QC, etc. Sometimes this all even feels a little backwards. My juice experience has been all over the place and never what I expect it to be! Which is mostly fun, sometimes odd.

My interest in the voltage/ohms was because I wanted to try a warmer vape - especially with using a lot of minty juices, my vape is always cool - but I'm guessing I don't actually LIKE a warmer vape after all!

My husband's an electrician - you would think I might be a little more knowledgeable with all of this stuff!! :laugh:

On a different subject - It's been almost 7 weeks since I stopped smoking and kicked the cigs to the curb. If MBV could come out with an M&M flavor, I could possibly knock off my 2nd addiction!! :D Seriously though - can anyone tell me if Candy Bar is nutty at all? I've been looking at trying a chocolate candy type, but not with a nut flavor.
