Hey guys, silly question. I need to put in an MBV order, but I've only found a couple tobacco flavors elsewhere I like. GLV El Kamino and ecblend That juice. Anyone who's tried those that can tell me if MBV has anything similar?

I can't speak to MBV's tobacco flavors (I'm sure others will pipe in), but just as an FYI, AiV's 15 Foot Falls is very, very similar to GLV's El Kamino. Did a side-by-side taste comparison with the two last night. Main difference, besides the fact that 15FF is a NET and EK isn't, is that is that the former has toasted marshmallow & coconut while the latter has cocoa, rest of the flavor notes are the same. My sister actually liked the EK slightly better while Mom & I chose the 15FF, but only by a slight margin.

I don't order tobacco flavors, but did you cure it? They make it the day its shipped. Basic way to cure:1) shake bottle for a good minute 2) pop off top cap, and drip cap and let it sit in a dark place for 24 hours 3)put all caps back on and shake for a minute 4) let sit for a couple days, shake every so-often.

Yes I did,I believe it needs more time,I am gonna throw it in ultrasonic cleaner to make it faster

Hawk Sauce...hmmm, wow. This is really different...in a good way. I get lots of menthol with a fruity side note. I tried to place the fruity taste ( maybe orange, mango, pineapple??) but it's tough. The fruity taste blends real well with the menthol and is very refreshing. I've had a lot of juices that disappoint because of lack of flavor. This ain't one of them. (IGO-L 1.3 ohm 3.6v)

All these reviews that talk about menthol in the Hawk Sauce are making me wonder if the 15ml bottle I have (which is almost gone and planning to order more once back in stock) was a fluke. I love me the Hawk Sauce for sure, but honesty, I don't taste any menthol in the bottle I have (65/35 +1 shot 6mg nic, bottled 6/1/13). I know that some have successfully used mint so subtly so that you don't even really taste it, and instead it comes across as just an iced flavor to the fruit. Though I wouldn't have picked that note out, I can possibly see that in my own bottle of H/S. But all this talk of menthol has got me wondering if maybe I should just get another 15ml of H/S first instead of jumping up to the 50ml in case the formula has changed and it's now a lot more minty or menthol than what I have. *shrug* :?:

    2nd time in a row I have not got a shipping email from MBV, thought maybe they was suddenly going to my spam filter, but nope. Wish they supplied the shipping number in the 'your orders' of the MBV site, but not really a big deal, as know it will be here in a few days if the normal MBV shipping.

    don't feel alone, cherie. i don't detect any menthol either. maybe a hint of mint, but that's it.

    I haven't spent a penny more than I saved from smoking and won't need to for a very long time.
    Everyone vaping is probably spending way less than when we smoked.

    I'm several hundred dollars in the hole (easier to do when you were a sub-PAD smoker), but I'm pretty well covered. Not quite til doomsday, but a few DIY supplies and I might just be.

    By far mbv is my favorite eliquid vendor! I ordered late friday night and it got here today! And Im in florida. All the juice I got was new to me except banana cream pie. All 5 are excellent. I was skeptical about demon energy but that stuff is really good. It seems you cant go wrong with these guys,well except watermellon (only one so far of theirs I didnt like).

    Some days my Hawk Sauce is more menthol than others. Sometimes I get sour and sometimes I don't. I wouldn't call it REALLY menthol, but it's there.

    Ok, I could be mistaken. So, I got it back out, not completely begrudgingly. Maybe that is more mint than menthol. No, not quite mint. I went out in the back yard and grabbed a mint leaf and it isn't a strong mint at least. I would have thought that if it was ice it would have been stronger also. So now I'm just confused.

    Maybe I'll just vape this for awhile.
