I never even thought about the number of shots ordered -vs- whether I order 80/20 or 50/50.....it must really make a difference. I have tried several different ratios but never adjusted my number of shots.....maybe somebody could kind of chart some of MBV types they have ordered and how they differ....for us unknowing novice people !!!!! WE NEED educated by people in the know.

The problem with this is that everyone's taste is subjective, what works for one may not work for another, however, I found for myself, I typically get 65/35 and with that I get 2 extras shots, I also like 50/50 and with that I get 3 extras shots due to the increase in the VG which tends to mute flavor, now this is subject to some of the stronger flavors, for instance one of my 50/50 which is sticky bun and has 3 extra shots and should really only have 1 - 2 as it is a strong flavor on it's own, at 80/20, I would not get any extra shots.

Again, this a very subjective and I am probably not the best to give advice on this as I have some major sinus issues that tend to make me need much stronger flavor which would probably equate to 1 shot less for those that have no severe sinus issues.

Just got in 7 bottles from MBV..

Everything 50/50 with 1 extra flavor shot in all except Solar Flare..

Solar Flare
Butterscotch
Graham Cracker
Thug juice
Utterly Nuts
Teaberry
Peanut Butter Cups - Freebie

Everything is completely unvapable except Graham Cracker & Butterscotch which neither i could vape more than a few pulls. The rest have very artificial tastes and smells. I tried them in my mini Davide with a new coil for each flavor. These are all sitting with caps off and will be steeping for a while.

Quite a few of the juices you have on your list are ones that will require steeping, don't know about the Teaberry, never tried it nor the Thug juice, I have that on order, butterscotch for me required 2 weeks steeping, graham cracker should be fine out of the mail, Utterly Nuts is peanut butter based and gets better with steeping. Any juices that are freshly made will normally require a steep time or the use of a UC, Microwave, hot bath methods if you want to speed up the steeping a bit. Menthol is a bit tricky on some juices as the menthol won't change much but the other flavors in it will need time to develop normally, YVMMV!

sorry about your Daddy :/ Enjoy the ride at least, it's nice driving up that way this time of year and in fall.

My pink champagne smells very faint when it arrives too. I have a bottle that's about 2 weeks old, and it has a slight champagne scent, and it doesn't really get any stronger. Try it :) First time I vaped it was right out of the mail and I enjoyed it. I have another 50 mL's en route :) It is a light flavor, but definitely tastes stronger than it smells.

He has pneumonia. I'm glad he finally got admitted. He was at the ER on Sunday, but they sent him home with antibiotics and told him to go to his own doctor. He was happy with that and wouldn't listen to my l'il sister and me (daddy's a pharmacist and he does a lot of self diagnosing). Today he felt even worse and he called an ER nurse friend who told him to call the ambulance. Sure, listen to the nurse and not your daughters.

He didn't even want to tell me, but he told my sister who squealed to me. L'il sister is disabled and lives in Central NJ, so he knows she can't come running up. I didn't even bother calling him to tell him I was coming. I know he'd tell me not to come ("It's too much trouble. You're too busy."). He makes me crazy.

Hope dad is okay!

And yes, Ecto Cooler is STINKY! Not bad of course, but I won't even let it live with my other juices, poor guy sits on the shelf because the smell was absorbing in the other bottles! Saw a picture on Instagram of a bottle of Ecto Cooler flavoring (not juice) eating the plastic bottle tip away. Yikes.

I hope he will be. He's 79, but he's in generally good health. He's outlived two wives and a couple of girlfriends. I keep telling him he needs to start dating 26 year olds ;).

The Ectocooler smells good, but it's a potent odor. If it vapes like it smells it will knock my socks off.

It'll vary based on the flavor and your personal taste, but as a general rule of thumb, if you go with a higher VG, you'll probably want to add more shots. I get different numbers of shots for different flavors, but *most* are 1 shot in 65/35, and 2 shots in 50/50.

I'm up to close to 50 flavors from MBV now, and I just know now which will need an extra shot. Lighter things like Cake, Vanilla Cup Cake, Whipped Cream, Bavarian Cream, these are the varieties on which I go up a shot. Fruits, mints, menthol, chocolates, spices, tobaccos, basically things that are heavier or sweeter, I stick to the original rule of 1 shot in 65/35, and 2 shots in 50/50.

There's no rules, and you will be bound to end up with a mix that's too strong or too light from time to time (or the occasional that you just plan don't like) but just play around and mix things and maybe you'll get it to work.

BTW I'm vaping the Pink Champagne. To me it tastes sweet, almost like cotton candy. I guess the champagne flavor needs to develop.

Haven't tried mine yet but it smells wonderful. If it tastes as good as it smells I've got another 50ml bottle to order (paging Strawberry Shortcake, come back!)

Dumb question, but I need to know - has anyone tried to use their paypal debit card at places (like MBV) that don't accept paypal? It says on my account that I can use my paypal debit card "anywhere that accepts Mastercard", but I know paypal has a stance against e-cigs and nic.

This isn't technically on-topic, but I'd rather ask here where there are nice people and not have people tell me to bugger off, lol. Look at ME being timid on ECF, what a concept!

Oooh, I wondered why they didn't take PayPal since that would be convenient.

I haven't tried, but I can't see why not. A debit card is a debit card.

Kinda dumb, but I never tried to use it. I was afraid of getting denied, lol. I suppose I should try it when I get some paypal!

i'm a dedicated bcc guy now! 6 mini davides, 1 davide and 5 or 6 protanks (with 8 evods hanging out)

had them all filled once...then i couldn't remember what was in my evods...:facepalm:

i do this way too often.... lol

BTW I'm vaping the Pink Champagne. To me it tastes sweet, almost like cotton candy. I guess the champagne flavor needs to develop.

Really?hmm. Personally Id love that! but mine isn't that cotton candy like, more like sweet champagne, without the bubbles ;)

Haven't tried mine yet but it smells wonderful. If it tastes as good as it smells I've got another 50ml bottle to order (paging Strawberry Shortcake, come back!)

!!! I just got another 50mL of it. I'm too scared to buy more at once. 236 is A LOT of one flavor. I have strawberry shortcake in my wishlist.. Next week stock comes in I read on their facebook. I need more moo juices!
