Let me know how your toned down version of Thug goes! Was just thinking last night that I'd really like it better if it were more fruit and less menthol.

Going to work with me today is an evod of butterscotch mixed with peanut butter. It's really good!

The only thing I didn't add was was the sweetner. I really didn't notice any sweetner in it but it is is the description. I do have a bottle of that so I will see how it turns out. I just hope I got the menthol right. I just wanted a hint of menthol so I started at the lowest point.

I also tried a little mixing at home. Put about 5 drops of Extreme Ice in a Protank full of Blood Orange....excellent!\

Also has anyone tried East Coast tobacco Flavor. I won some in a contest cause they didn't like it. They said its been steeping 3 weeks. I just have never tried any of MBV tobacco flavors yet.

Big,

Fluid Vapor is doing something like that (DNA 20) with the "Cyborg"....have you heard of it? Check it out if you havent. Very interesting.

(I havent gotten into those "high ends" as of yet, hell, been vaping for 9 months and have only upgraded to a spinner in the last few)

Yea, they are releasing it soon I think. Their Fluid Flask is awesome looking, can't justify $80 for a carto tank though.

question about MBV. I am looking for a cheaper solution to juice without quality loss. The prices at MBV cannot be touched from what I have found, however, do they use high quality ingredients like you would expect from vendors or cheap not so good ingredients. Don't want them to be a to good to be true place I order from.

The only difference I have come across is price. I have ordered from other higher priced vendors and always felt like I should have just bought from MBV because I couldn't taste a difference. Some flavors are vendor specific like Pluid, Bobas bounty, Gorilla juice, zombie apocalypse and so on. Give MBV a try.For the price you have nothing to lose, except the overpriced vendors ;) Use ECF as the coupon code to save 10% and don't forget orders over $15 after coupon code and before shipping cost get a 15 ml sample. Use the comment portion of the order form to request a specific flavor pg/ vg and nic strength

    If your not sure, just order a few small bottles, but this thread didn't get this big from people complaining about the juice, I can say, a month ago I thought the grass might be greener somewhere else, and tried about 7 new vendors, out of about 15 new juices, was only 2 from 2 different vendors I really liked, and 1 of them vendors took nearly 2 weeks to get me the juice, so they lost my custom, I still order off the other, but I am not wasting money trying any other vendors, when I am happy with MBV and found the grass isn't any greener.

    Placed order #15 or something, lost count, just now.

    Ordered -

    50ml sticky bun 50/50 2 flavor shots, love cinnamon roll, heard a lot say this even better, so trying it out.
    30ml of berry treat 50/50 2 flavor shots, love caramel flavors, with the fruit sounds yum.
    Asked for a sample of the spurberry, wife loves the fruit vapes, so more for her than me.

    Still waiting for my MBV order to arrive. I'm dying to try their flavours. Shipping to Canada isn't quite so quick.

    In the mean time I have been trying some other juice from different venders. A little disappointed so far. Wanted to ask everyone here is my expectations are just too high or if I haven't found the right juice yet? I thought that I would find a juice that tastes just like the item it is based on. Is it unrealistic to expect a good quality juice based on butterscotch to taste just like butterscotch?

    Also, is there a way to get rid of the peppery taste from the nicotine?

    Sorry for the off topic, but you seem like a friendly experienced bunch.

    Thanks.

    I think, if you're curious, it's worth buying about four 15ml bottles. Don't buy huge bottles. Don't buy 25 flavors. Most of their flavors are only $4.99 (which is really $4.50 with the 10% off coupon), four will qualify you for a free bottle (which you can ask for a specific flavor, nic content, and PG/VG ratio in the comments box), and will get to you for less than $25 shipped.

    However, BE PREPARED TO STEEP YOUR JUICES. Although some MBV flavors are spot-on right out of the mailbox, some of their flavors require anywhere from 2 weeks to a month to be at their best. Read the reviews - not all MBV juices are created equal. Give something a shot that's in their top 10 or so most ordered flavors; chances are good that you'll be trying one of their best that way.

    I always feel bad when I hear about someone dropping $100 on their first MBV order, then trying everything the day it arrives and declaring that all of the MBV juices are total crap.

    Agreed, and nicely stated

    I'll second that!!!! :thumbs:

    Sometimes I'll try to help with suggestions if I feel like the user might be receptive, but more often than not they're already dead set it believing the juice is terrible and that usually breaks my heart because most of the time if they'd just listen to advice and try a good long steep the juice they hate might turn out to be the one they'd love most!

    What is the proper way to steep a juice?

    There is a few different ways, me personally, I take the tops and droppers off, put the bottles in a zip lock bag and put in a plastic container of hot tap water, making sure bottles do not fall over, every 15 minutes I shake the bottles, after a hour, I change the water for fresh hot water, after 2 hours, I then put in dark cupboard with tops off still, sit there for 24 hours, shaking when I remember, after that I test it, if like, start using, if not back in the cupboard, but with tops on and shaking 2-3 times a day.

    I can't answer all the questions with an absolute, but here goes my opinion anyway…
    First I have not tried MBV’s Butterscotch as I’m not a fan of that flavor. But from the thousands of threads I have read, I have never heard more people rave about Butterscotch than they have in this thread about MBV’s version. So with that said you hopefully will find this a great solution for the hunt.

    As far as a peppery taste of the nicotine goes. I have had three experiences with this pepper phenomenon.
    #1 My nicotine level was too high and once I reduced the nicotine, that nasty taste went away.
    #2 I was using a new coil and a silica wick (atty) that was all gunked up :blink:. How could that be? I did a dry burn on the coil and once I thought it was good and clean, I filled my tank back up. Good to go right? No I went :shock: and really felt sick to my stomach. I discovered that the coil that the silica brand I was using was junk to say the least. Once I went to a different brand of wick the problem taste went away.
    #3 Also I discovered that juices like to be vaped at different voltages/watts than other juices. This can be true even with different flavors from the same vendor. As I learned that, if I have/had a juice that doesn’t taste right I will adjust my voltage level (provided you have a vv/vw battery device). And the problem was resolved.

    Now if your device is not variable just make sure you have as low a resistance of a coil as possible (generally 1.5 to maybe 2.0 ohms). But number three is not the most likely cause so you should be okay there.
    And the last point is try different flavors types, even ones that you don’t think you would like (of course try ones that sound good at first). Many here in this thread have said how surprised they were when they would receive a sample of something that they would have never considered purchasing on their own. That they loved the juice and would end up reordering the flavor again.

    Sorry for the reply in long format, but I felt chatty at this moment. And that doesn't happen often (you just got lucky :ohmy:)

    ...lol

    When they come in here or in any thread like a "bull in a china shop". They have already made their bed (decision). So at that point I'll just add fuel to the proverbial fire and watch the :evil:
