I agree 100%
I can't tell if my sense of taste has returned or not. Food still tastes the same but I can pick out flavors in the eliquids better, but most are still way to mild for my liking.
In fact, I'm thinking about moving many of my juices from hopeless steeping to the coffee can of oblivion, never to be seen again until a disaster strikes. In fact I still have not noticed any difference in a day one juice versus a day 14 juice, that I didn't like to start with or that I could taste to start with. This goes for all the companies that I have ordered from.
My MBV juices that don't have enough of a taste for me are Lightning (1 shot), Hawk Sauce (4 shots), Sour Yum (3 shots), and Tangerine (3 shots). Don't get me wrong, they all taste good, but the taste just isn't there. There is no way I can give an honest review of those juices.
The only ones that I have reviewed has been Cin. Roll, and without question it got five stars from me. And I also reviewed Candy Cane, as my wife has hated any juice she has tried from anyone. With the exception of this one. So I had to give MBV props and a review for that juice.
The only negative review I may give is for the Macadamia Nut. It was mentioned that I should wait for three weeks to let that one sit and meld. (one more week to go). I know Mac. Nut can be done right, because High Desert Vapes has a true to life Macadamia Nut flavor. That one was dead-on perfect. To be fair, HDV's version was 50/50 and I got MBV's at 80/20, but I can't continue to do apples to apples taste testing with every flavor I try. I would be broke outside of a month if I did that.
Sorry I'm ranting on your quote SB, but I'm also trying to vape a tank of Lightning right now, and it just isn't doing anything for me at this moment. It's like a bad medicine that had been fixed up so a kid would take it for mommy and daddy
I have a couple of updates since my last post...
I finished off a whole Protank of Lightning. While I still find the fruit way to mild for my taste, this turned out to really not be to awful of a juice after all. Although I can't give it five stars, I would give it on it's base three stars instead. Now let's factor what happened after I finished the tank and went to a new juice (more on that shortly). This will bump Lightning up to four stars. I found out that lightning helps cleanse my palette allowing me to get an excellent taste for the next liquid. I say this because today was a vapors-tongue type of day for me with all juices, including the Cin. Roll. Now my taste sensation (for what it's worth) is back to normal again. And I'm glad, because I gave a new MBV juice a try it was...
Blue Moo- All I can say is that is another big-time bakery hit for me. Just as I can taste all the parts of the Cin. Roll, I can taste a freshly made hot blueberry muffin when vaping the juice
.After one tank of this it has now been added to my vape rotation 
I'm finding out that all the bakery type juices from MBV really stand out (in a good way) for me. Where as the mint/menthol/fruit vapes seem to be lacking for me
I had Sticky Bun earlier today when I had vapors tongue, so now I'll have to try it again, just to double check. This juice tasting is soooooooo hard 
Either way I'm still loving the liquids from MBV!
Mine have started to finally come back around...and now, I can't eat really spicy salsa anymore...
Have you tried mixing any of them? My all day vape for the last 5 months (prior to finding MBV) were from a different vendor, and were a mix of 4 that I didn't care for as stand alone flavors. I just mixed equal parts of each. Caramel Apple, Vanilla, Amaretto, and Double Dutch Choc. I know it sounds like a crazy combo, but for me, much to my surprise, it was good mixture, but each alone, never steeped to any sort of goodness at all. (ever) So, I'd laugh at myself each time I'd reorder 4 bottles of juice I didn't like....
Can't eat spicy foods anymore
I hope that doesn't happen to me.Yes I have mixed liquids before, but I usually find if I mix two or more complex juices that it becomes a dark gooey and muddled flavor and smell. But I have taken Curtiss' Coffee from PureSmoker and mixed it with KarmaScotch (also from PS) and that went from a very tasty and good cup of coffee to an excellent cup of coffee. The worst part of their juice is the price. I already have to shell out big bucks for their "Fire & Ice" and "Firecracker", because I haven't found anything with the punch in the throat as strong as those (and still have a great taste).
So I really don't have but maybe a couple of single flavor juices to mix around. I'm thinking about mixing my MBV Tangerine with the MBV Texas sweet tea. I like the TST, but that one will get way to sweet for me after about a half of a tank. So we will see how that one goes.
Just placed my 4th order. These ones are for my mom but I will taste them before I hand them over!
Sticky bun 6mg 65/35
Pineapple peach 6mg 65/35
Mango iced tea 0mg 65/35
Cherry tea 0mg 65/35
All have one extra flavor shot!
I hope I did good!

Funny thing is that I have ordered liquids from MBV at many different ratios, 80/20, 65/35, and 50/50. I have never tried anything with more or all VG. Also that brings up a point to consider. It seems if a juice gives great big plumes of vapor, I won't be able to taste it (no matter the PG/VG, nic level or voltage setting). But the ones I really like give off by far the least vapor amount (same rule as before). Does that make any sense to anyone?
Oh and this is only true with MBV juices (at least the ones I have tried).P.S. I just have to celebrate a little. I lowered my nic from the 36/24 range to 18 this time around and I haven't had any negative side effects. I'm pretty darn happy I was able to do that. I was a 2 - 2 1/2 PAD smoker on February 13th of this year.
Another step closer! Nice
Oh, I'll keep eating it until those taste buds get used to it again or until my tongue falls off....Can't eat spicy foods anymore
I can especially see that might happen with complex flavors, mine were just the single flavors.......did I mention that I'm a horrible cook?
I bet that would be good!!
I tend to favor the ones that turn out to be low "plume" myself. And that tends to be irregardless of how much vg is in them. Perhaps they condense in our mouths better or something.

All show, no go......makes perfect sense to me. MBV has AWESOME prices, maybe try something you know you already like, in a smaller size in Max VG, or one step back, I think that was VG/Distilled Water maybe. I could give a rip about big plumes, I want flavor. Then you could see if the VG brings out more flavor, or mutes it for you.
I've really decided that you (almost) can't go by likes or dislikes, to an extent, because of the things we've been discussing. Various stages of taste bud recovery, vapers tongue, delivery device, PG/VG ratio, and even nic ratio changes the TH, I believe I've read.
I still want to see reviews, to help with my selections, but I don't think I wouldn't buy something I think I might like because of a weak bad review...if that makes sense....LOL...sorry, not to copying ya.
I like strawberry shortcake...it's a tad bit too creamy for me, but I definitely like the hint of what tastes like graham cracker. I ordered it standard at 6mg nic
I've been trying to sort out in my head how to do "Russian tea" like my grandmother made when I was a kid. Tang, instant tea with lemon and some spices. So if you do try that let me know.
Anyone else wish MBV did more to describe their juice? Maybe it's the newb in me but I would like to read a bit on flavor before I buy off of just names. Yes the reviews help but many reviewers taste totally different flavors from each other.
They do have a description on the newer liquids. Then once several people comment on the liquid, they rely on the customer reviews to tell the story. That tells me they stand behind their work 100%.
I like that myself.

Here is a Russian Tea recipeI found online...
Though recipes vary, a very straightforward version of Russian tea would begin with five teaspoons of black or green tea in a pot. Pour one cup of boiling water over the tea leaves and let steep until all the tea leaves sink to the bottom. Strain the leaves and discard them. Pour one teaspoon of this zavarka concentrate into a teacup, mixing with 10 teaspoons of boiling water, preferably from a samovar, if available. You can add more zavarka and water, but make sure you stick to the 1:10 ratio to properly dilute. Add sugar, honey, jams, jellies, oranges or black cherries as desired for sweetness and flavor.
This should be doable by someone who already has the flavorings.
This is more how my grandmother made it-
"1/2 cup instant tea powder (she cheated and used instant tea with lemon)
2 cups orange-flavored drink mix (e.g. Tang)
3 ounces lemonade-flavor drink powder (she did not use this)
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves"
I think the tricky bit is the "tang". I'll actually need to buy some tang to be sure how it tastes before I try and match that.

Dang, that sounds really good
I just think I'm going to have to try that, or at least a close variation of it. And I'm talking about the real thing not the eliquid, although if there was a juice vendor out there who had the skills and tools they could probably whip something like that pretty quickly Thanks for the information

I find the opposite to be true, lol. I always get my juice max VG, and more recently, the Gingerale I picked up had almost no vapor at all, and no taste or smell. Switched over to the Solar Flare, nice big clouds and intense flavor.
