Your welcome, Yea I honestly don't get it. Hhv has been really my own juice place (only started vaping about 3 months ago) now I did start off with Volcano juices and those were just God awful, no offense. The next one I tried was hhv and I have liked there flavors. This blade flavor though is disappointing. I hope I don't have screwed up taste buds or something

Is it well steeped? Sometimes not being steeped enough can give you all kinds of funkiness. If it's well steeped though, it's probably just not your thing, nothing wrong with that. If you're looking for a similar flavor combo, you might want to try White Ice from MBV... it's vanilla and menthol, not vanilla and mint, but given enough time for the menthol to calm down (about 3-4 weeks), it's a nice smooth vape that works well. It's perfectly vapeable before that 3-4 week mark, it's just much more menthol than vanilla before then.

Thanks I'll look into that, and Yea I was well steeped. About 3 weeks steeped actually. Now I do have a quick question. Would putting liquid back into a bottle that is still steeping screw up the flavor?

It can, yes. Not always, but it happens. I try to avoid pouring anything that's been in a tank back into the bottle. Instead, I picked up some 15ml empties from MBV, and I use those to dump juice back out of my tank for further steeping and/or saving for later. I'm finally starting to work through my juice stash enough to have *other* empties around, but when I was first getting started, picking up 5-6 empties was a godsend.

In the event that you don't have an empty juice bottle around, any clean, food grade, air tight receptacle will do.

Or you can risk pouring it back into the original bottle. Just be aware that if you do do that, you risk the color/flavor of the whole bottle being funky due to the used juice picking up gunk from your atty.

Okay well here is the thing I was on a limited amount of tanks so what I did was I would fill the tank up with a juice and take it out for the day or whatever then come back and switch everything out cause I wanted to try something new. I think I might of messed it up that way but not sure. Honestly Idk how though cause it still shouldn't taste that bad

Thank you, lol it sucks still being a noob to vaping. I will remember that for sure. At least I have a decent amount to of tanks and liquid now so no more putting stuff back into bottles

It's possible, especially with repeatedly emptying a tank back into the bottle. I forgot which bottle I had in my hand once and emptied a tank of Cola back into the Cola bottle instead of into an empty bottle... turned the remaining 3ml or so that had been in the bottle a really off color and tasted gross, even though I'd only vaped that tank's worth for about 15 minutes and had a brand new atty in the tank. But if it's just that one flavor that tastes nasty to you, it's probably that you just don't care for that particular flavor.

we had a discussion about this a while back. the general consensus was the putting the juice back in the bottle from a tank is not a good idea. your juice fries a little bit in the tank. if you put burnt juice back in the bottle, you ruin the bottle. maybe use smaller tanks, evod or ptank 2 mini, and toss it if you want to change.

We've all been there, man. No worries. I've been poking around looking at gennys and it's making my head spin how much I still have to learn and how many mistakes I have yet to make.

using empty bottles is a good idea!

Yep! I picked up a few more empties with my last order cause my current stock keeps getting depleted by "what are you vaping? Oh, can I have some of that (to take home with me)?" It's a good problem to have, and the price of introducing several smokers to vaping... but I've resolved to keep a handful of brand new, never used empties around for those times, as well as all the once-full, now-empty bottles I keep around for tank switching.

I have some Butternut Vanilla on the way and it was made on the 26th. Could I get a really good taste of the flavor before the first or is it one of the juices that require extra steeping? I ask cause Im planning on making another big order on New Years...Also the same question for the Candy Cane flavor.

Thanks!

Not sure about candy cane, but you could be in with a chance with the Vanilla Butternut... mine's 10 days old, and although I can tell that steeping further would be beneficial, I could get a general idea of the taste at about a week (plus a hot water steep when it arrived).

Morning, MBV peeps!

Cake (Yellow) + Bavarian Cream + Fudge Brownie this am. Still trying to make the perfect boston cream pie vape. :)

Also, reducing the apple butter I made yesterday for my inlaws - I pulled it off the stove too early, and it's still thick applesauce instead.

And trying to wake up. I suppose I should actually drink the coffee I made...
