You're talking about the 'build your own' on the site, right? When you said DIY I was thinking you were making your own juice at home but I think I misunderstood. I used the 'build your own' on the site a few times with good results but not in your flavor profile I don't think. Mine were chocolate mint with orange and a chocolate raspberry truffle I concocted. They were good. It's a nice feature they have to be able to fine tune things and experiment.

It sounds like you enjoy fruits and creams. The Blu Moo is outstanding!! I cannot be without it. The sherbert is amazing and I recently ordered the flavor so I can DIY at home. I'm going to want lots of it around at all times! Another one you might like is Orange Dream Bar. It really is dreamy and vapable fairly quickly. I have found some of the single fruit flavors, like peach and pear to be very strong on their own. Whipped cream or sweet cream are good mixers to have on hand to soften some of the stronger flavors. Strawberry Shortcake is another winner if you like fruits. It's another must have in my rotation. Spurberry is good and a fairly well loved flavor. Swedish Lime is great, especially mixed with Razzleberry and Orange Dream Bar. It's much like sherbert with a little more pizzazz to it. Once you get enough juices it's fun to mix them in a single tank. You can alter any flavor by topping off a tank with another flavor. I tried the Cucumber mint last summer when it was really hot and humid out and found it refreshing and very subtle. The mint is nice and is a stronger flavor note than the cucumber. Lemon is a good flavor to add a drop or two to any fruit flavor to brighten it. I always have some lemon drop on hand just for that purpose. The lemonades are good, especially Freckled lemonade, which is a strawberry lemonade. I have always gone 50/50 with 2 flavor shots and that has been right on for me. Have fun growing your collection. I've ordered from a few other vendors, but MBV gets 99.9% of my juice dollars and I've found no need to look elsewhere for 8 months, so for me, that speaks volumes.

Oh yeah, I was, sorry for confusing you! That's why I tried to call them "DIY combinations" but I guess build your own would've been a smarter phrase. Every one of your suggestions has my mouth watering :) I think I'll just stick 'em on a checklist and move down them.

I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed in MBV but maybe it should be USPS I'm disappointed in. This is my very first order with them and eEveryone said MBV keeps coming so quickly and it did SHIP quickly, less than 12 hours after the order. I PAID for 2-day mail because I have instant gratification brain and want it RIGHT NOW haha. It shipped Saturday morning. Today would have been 2 full business days and the ETA is still 2 days out. That's 4.5 business days when I paid for 2. The darn things aren't even out of WA yet and I'm all the way in PA.

I have those silly zombiemax defensive rounds with the green ballistics tip in my ccw. But I think when the zombies come I'll be using mostly target rounds. Better chance it'll cut through one zombie and kill a couple behind it as well.

No problem. I have plenty of ammunition and spare magazines. I have also taught my wife how to reload and shoot, so we're set. :D

I actually did the math today of my nicotine lozenges versus unrestricted vaping. It's deceiving to smoke an entire tank of something but the PTII MINI is barely over 1.5 ml and I never smoke a whole one in a day, probably about 1ml. That's 12mg of nicotine for me a day which is but 3 lozenges and I have this awful oral fixation (NO!) so I usually am pushing 6 a day. That means I've cut my usage almost entirely in half in the span of 72 hours and I don't even notice. Yes, absorption rate in the lungs is better than in the mouth so it's not in half for true but pretty close. How exciting!

Dragon Vaping is very apt. I tend to hork my vape.

And on that note it is time for bed. Another long day tomorrow. Err. Today. Sigh.

Yeah, that's USPS - blame the storms and the holiday rush, unfortunately. My Black Friday order took an inordinately long time to get to me compared to usual... usually, it's two days, WA to GA, regular shipping... Black Friday took five, I think, and MBV had it shipped by 9am Friday morning, so it definitely wasn't their fault in that case.

A little more Glen Hansard for the interested... Glen is at his best in two situations... very intimate settings with just him and an acoustic guitar and an audience of less than 50 or so... and *massive* shows with his full band (the Frames) where he can really let loose. This one is the latter, and I'm posting it because you can get a good sense of what the Frames do... poetic lyrics, a little inclusion of traditional Irish instruments (though very rarely anything that could be called traditional Irish music), lots of playing with dynamics, and a little rock'n'roll flair. This song, from one of their earlier albums, actually got picked up and used in a House episode, though you may or may not recognize it when you hear how much better the live version is. :)

I carry glocks. Unfortunately it should've been the 26 as I have a 19 and it's a great range gun but doesn't conceal very well on a small person such as myself. No true safety on those, just the trigger safety. Which scared me a lot at first. Then I learned "finger off the trigger, stupid" and, with a good holster, it's not going off unless you pull the trigger. In fact I only rarely carry racked for that reason. Not quite ready for the zombies yet. Boyfriend and I are saving for the remington so we can pick em off from afar.

Most guns have safety's nowadays ;)
Mine actually doesn't. But I have an extremely small .380. I could take out a few zombies he he


Why did my blue moo taste like coffee on my way to work. Lol

So sad. So sad. But I guess it's a few more days where I'm forced NOT to use it while it shakes and steeps in the package. Yeah...that's how I'll look at it.

Oy. I'm took tired to catch up everyone had such interesting things to say while I was gone. But it's been a long day and I literally JUST finished finals and now have to rush off to CA to see my borderline personality disordered mother (cause I decided I didn't have enough stress in my life, you know) so I think I'm just going to enjoy the new conversation instead of trying to respond to things that are long over haha.

Actually, now that I think of it, by the time they will have arrived on Thursday they'll have been "steeping" in a dark package for 6 days or so. 24 hours to breathe and maybe I'll be able to use some of them pretty quickly, right? Please say yes.

In the meantime, I'll continue to live vicariously through you all. Keep telling me what you're vaping while I continued using up this mediocre pineapple peach.

I have not had the chance to try the graham cracker juice that came with my friends order, he gave it to me. I will get around to it though!!!
I got a bottle of graham cracker as a freebie with my last order ...... I was vaping a tank of chocolate mint today, and had a brilliant idea that if I squirted a bit of graham cracker in the tank I just may end up with something that approximates a thin mint cookie.


needless to say no one will be hiring me as a mixologist anytime soon ..... unless soap flavored e-juice suddenly comes into vogue


seemed like such a good idea at the time:facepalm:

Macaroni - Is that your sharpei? So stinkin' cute. My friend had one named Lips which just amused the living daylights out of me. I have an english bull terrier. They're pretty silly looking too. I'd shove a photo of him in my user photo lickety split cause I'm a proud mama but I have no idea how.

ya know.. sometimes it's the usps tracking folks that are slacking.. check the mailbox anyway - could have just been a scanning vs not scanning a package issue.. could be a nice surprise. AND since you paid for 2 day.. and you have a receipt of when it was shipped by mvb.. you should have that refunded if it's not in the mailbox today. I prefer home steeping to mail truck steeping :)

I got busy with housework this afternoon.. didn't get that nap I was hoping for so I'm still in stupid mode.. best not play with the gas stove tonight.. thinking maybe yogurt and a vape for supper tonight

I thought so too. Mail has come and gone. I feel a little bad asking for a refund from MBV if it's not their fault. I think I'd rather do it right and steep the real way too, being broke means wanting the most bang for your buck, BUT I might have to live with mail carrier steeping for one or two flavors. I like the pineapple peach but it is all I have. I suppose I could go to the local vendor, I'm lucky to have a really great one in my area, and maybe see if they have some flavors that have been on the shelf for awhile.

Well, the Troll is doing it again, this time he's actually taken to try to bait a confrontation! This guy really needs to grow up. Honestly at this point he needs to be banned. I really fed up with his BS! :evil:

some people just like to argue......and it's real easy to hide behind a keyboard.

Wanna gang up on him? I feel your pain. I'm a fiery person too. My mother is a real life troll and it took everything in me to learn not to enable it by reacting in ANY way no matter what. True you shouldn't have to block him but you might have to if you want some peace. Then spread his name around here and we'll all collectively ignore him. Or we could meet up in some virtual blind alley and virtually beat him up? Something tells me the people here have your back either way. Focus on that. He's just one person.

Anyone tried solar flare, white ice or white out from MBV? I think all 3 of them are one of the few with 5 star ratings and sound pretty good.

White out taste just like a white tic tac to me but I'm not a fan of menthol so my opinion would be biased....not a bad flavor though
