Vapemail! Got my second shipment from MBV today:

Butterscotch: Great right out of the bottle. This definitely has the potential to become my ADV.
Morning Vape: Good coffee flavor, the amaretto/cherry flavor is very light and in the background. Will probably get even better after steeping.
Ocean Breeze: I can mostly taste pineapple right off the bat. Good, but going to let it steep and reassess it.
My DIY coffee blend (Cafe Coffee, Sweet Cream, Hazelnut): Really enjoying this one immediately. I ordered 24 mg nic, so this will be the morning pick-me-up.
Cantaloupe (sample): Haven't tried this one yet, but it smells pretty acetone-y. Going to let it steep before I give it a go.

Yesterday I mixed a tank of Raspberry Iced Tea and Black Ice - ended up being a nice, refreshing ADV. I might have to order this one pre-mixed with my next order!

As an off-topic aside, yesterday was a great test for me. I've been completely analog-free for 10 days, but yesterday presented the "perfect storm" to test my resolve - spent the entire day with three smokers, two of who were smoking "my" old brand (Marlboro Lights), and we were drinking beer and margaritas all day. I can happily say that I didn't even feel the slightest urge to bum a smoke from any of them - just kept vaping away and enjoying it! The smell of a cigarette used to always create the "mmmmm!" reaction and the immediate urge to light up, but yesterday I actually found it to smell foul and was glad I was vaping instead of smoking. All three of them were very interested in my setup, asked a lot of questions and wanted to know where to buy gear and e-liquid (of course I referred them to MBV!).

Unfettered- The USPS has closed some of their processing centers to save money including the one that was in Tyler. All my mail routes through DFW now also. My mail comes a couple of hours later now because the truck from DFW doesn't even arrive until after 8 or 9am to the local PO.

Awww man. Did this just happen? Because I've been ordering left and right for the last month and this was the first time I've seen packages route through Fort Worth. (And as I said, they ALL did.)

Kind of depressing to think that this is going to be the new norm.

They closed mine a couple of months ago. The zip codes were divided up and re-assigned to different processing centers.

Ok I have a few questions for ya'll.
1, I have gone through a couple of bottles of Banana Bread and loved them but figured I would give Bananas Gone Nuts a try. It tastes just like cinnamon roll, it's delicious but i don't taste any banana. It is from my July 3 order so its only been steeping a week so maybe the banana will come out later. Anyone else experience this.
2, I hear everyone raving about butterscotch and I really want to try it but I have some Bandersnatch from AIV (butterscotch and banana supposedly) and it smells and tastes awful. Like butterscotch people raved about the bandersnatch and I just want to know if anyone had tried it and how does it compare to MBV butterscotch.
Last but not least anyone have a recommendation for a flavor that they really feel needs no extra flavor shots for my next freebie request. I typically get 2 extra in all my orders but then again Johnny Chimpo and Berry Sweet really seemed strong enough on their own so maybe I don;t need the 2 extra.

I just tried fruity hoops and its really good!! Another winner MBV!

Just tried this again after a week of steeping and I'm still getting a fresh cut grass aftertaste Off to long term steeping storage it goes. Might just not be for me.

I don't know what kind of deal MBV has with the usps but I ordered 9 (all new flavors I've never tried - eek! I'm giddy!!) on Thursday morning and my stuff came from WA to my mailbox in FL today. That's two days, people! TWO..... DAYS...

Sheer wizardry.

I've got some BGN that was mixed June 24th and when it showed up it tasted a bit funky. It was not like the Cinnamon Roll (which to me tasted like a cinnamon graham cracker on day 1 - the creaminess took a couple weeks to come out), just a very strong walnut flavor, without much banana or bread. Anyway I loaded a tank up earlier this week and I've very satisfied with the flavor. It's a buttery bread with walnut and a hint of banana, which to me is a very authentic banana bread flavor. Like the cinnamon roll, it's an absolutely awesome morning vape! And it took at least two weeks for both flavors to mature, but for me the similarities end there.

no sleeping in for me ever *sad face*
up at daylight or just before every flippin morning of my life.. chickens and ducks that have to be let out .. fed.. watered etc and today it was auction day
I love a good auction.. the one here is sooo informal.. the auctioneer and his helpers banter with the crowd.. one of the guys sings sometimes.. they get some old items wrong and get corrected (not a pot rack.. a wine rack)
it's fun

I vaped outside with the smokers.. got asked a lot of questions but didn't seem to have anyone interested in switching.. more like.. what the *)^%$ is that thing?!

older country folk .. pretty set in their ways. You know.. the folks that wonder what to do with a computer

I firmly believe they have access to a wormhole in Kent, WA.

Two days to me here too and I'm even further south in Florida. Lol

Florida here too.. but the forgotten Florida.. central time zone even.. sometimes 2 days.. sometimes my juice takes a side trip.. not sure what those folks in Pcola are ..uhhh.. dr..sm.. er doing but yeah

I figure that's one day less in the steeping closet

 

[Unfettered]

Mine usually come in two days as well. Looks like that may be a things of the past.

Anywho, just tried the cucumber mint and it is....interesting.
Some puffs I love it, some not so much. Sometimes I get nothing but a spearmint taste and sometimes it's definitely cucumbery. One thing is for sure, it is going to need to steep. I think I will like it more consistently after it does.

Regardless, it's in no way unvapeable.....just very chameleon-like right now.

 

[Sassington]

I'm just amazed because I ordered ONE bottle from a vendor *one county* north of me and it didn't get here that fast.. It's crazy. ^_^

 

[GaryInTexas]

Mine still just takes 2 days but is later in the day than it was. The town I live closest to isn't even on the maps.

Unfettered- What part of the great republic do you live near?

I loved MBV butterscotch (15 ml, 18 mg, house blend) so much, I ordered a 30 ml with 4 shots. More flavor shots = better taste, right? Wrong. Their house blend flavor is perfect, the extra shots ruined it.

I live near Hillsboro, roughly halfway between DFW and Waco. (A smidge closer to Waco.)

I know exactly where that area is. Your in small town Texas also.

Someday I'll re-try Butterscotch with no shots. My first order had +2, and it was great for the first week or so, but then it was WAY too potent for me.

 

[MsComptrtchr]

I got butterscotch +2 - it was way strong, but now, after 1.5 months of steeping, it's good. So there's hope. Of course after 1.5 months, you may lower your nic like I did, then you'll find yourself selling or trading it I have a huge pile of 12 nic. that is just too much for me. I don't want to water it all down with 0 nic whipped cream, I may have to sell it all, grrr. But then, that means I can make a new order for new juice! Ah, the cycle of vaping.
