And we have vapemail!!! Through NO FAULT of Mt. Baker it took 10 days to get here. The post office routed it to NEW JERSEY..how that translates to IOWA in anyone's geography I have no clue. So it is pre-steeped for me. I got the GIANT bottle of Cinnamon roll 6mg, 30ml of 'build your own' Apple Fritter 12mg (double apple and cinn roll 7/13 respectively), and the freebie was Mojito. I also got a T-shirt and a spare eGo battery. Thank you once again James and staff for keeping me in juice.

Vapemail!!! I ordered watermelon,tangerine and root beer flavoring along with a Smokteck RDA (didn't realize that I ordered the purple color but it will be kept out of public view along with my white ego). All are steeping with caps and tips off in the steep drawer. My office seriously smells of root beer right now.

Does anyone have any experience with the RDA? I've watched some video reviews on it and after taking it apart it looks like I might shorten the wicks down on it.

Forgot to mention spurburry as my requested sample. MBV rocks!

OK, for those of us, like me, who are a wee bit challenged in the area of creativity (alright, sometimes common sense and logic), if one was to add 12 mil of MBV flavoring to 88 mil of their nic juice, this:

236 ml Unflavored Nicotine Juice USA made - Mt Baker Vapor - Electronic Cigarettes

this would be 100 mil of juice? is it that simple? like, one could do this even if one were a total moronicus???

am i understanding this correctly???

It is that simple but your base liquid will be 12% weaker.
My first DIY attempt was MBV 24mg base to get 21mg juice.

100ml is a lot of juice for 1 flavor so you''ll want to use smaller numbers.

I usually add 4ml flavor to 28 ml of my base (20.5) to get my 12.5% 18mg
The 18mg is within 1%
I have dozens of empty 15ml dropper bottles and too much juice so now I make 16ml at a time instead of 32ml.
2 + 14 instead of 4 + 28

You want 12% flavor add 3 + 25

My Labor Day order shows delivery tomorrow, woo! Good job getting them out MBV!

Now just to wait on my FT order, guess steeping won't be so bad since I don't have anything in which to put most of it anymore.

Also, less than three weeks until vacation to Ocean City. Time to decide if I want anything else from FT before I go.

My $30 HF still works fine with a rubber running 30-90 minutes at a time.
I start with cold water and by 30 minutes it's getting about as hot as I'll let it get.
I use a turkey baster to swap in cold water for hot when I want to run it longer.
It's speed steeped over a half gallon of juice so I got my money's worth long ago.

I just expect things from HF to break with ease.

I'm guessing it's the octopus rda? Seen a few builds for it, depends on how advanced you want to go. GrimmGreen did one and M.C. Vapes has a really cool build.

I spent my $30 with intention to use it the way I do.
If it broke within the first month I'd get my money back and upgrade.
I figured if it lasted more than a month I got my money's worth.
Now I've gotten 2 or 3 times my money's worth so I'm happy with it.

Wouldn't that be 3 + 22?

Are the MBV flavorings all PG based? So if I take 28 ml of 50/50 at 20.5 mg and add 4 ml of flavor doesn't that change the mixture to like 56/44? I can see why a juice calculator is a good idea. Do you use the nic and/or base from MBV or do is there a "better" pg, nic, vg? Isn't VG available at Walgreens or CVS? Inquiring minds...

Guess who got vapemail today??! I did!!!! all 12mg, all 50/50 blends, all with two flavor shots

I got 15 mls of Thug Juice and Apple Rings (my freebie) 30mls of Butterscotch, Johnny Chimpo, Orange Dream Bar, Sticky Bun and Peach Meltdown and finally 50mls of Graham Cracker and Peach Rings! I had only ordered 30mls of Graham Cracker, but they upgraded me to 50mls!

Which of these flavors I got are good right out of the mail? Yes, I'm impatient! Lol

 

[Terre]

aww my vape mail is a day late. i guess due to the holiday, it routed it differently than normal. it's ok, more steeping time in the warm weather lol

Same here. But it will be here tomorrow. I always get so excited!!

Most are good out of the mail. I can't help with the peach ones as I don't like their peach.
But my favorite is butterscotch

Thug Juice was pretty good for me out of the mailbox, a bit better after a week

In general the more complex the flavor the longer it takes to steep and get really good. Pure single flavors are generally better straight from the mail. So far the only flavor I got from MBV that was really bad was Watermelon. For some reason it always tasted soapy. I am not sure if that it how it always tastes or if maybe that day they washed the equipment and just didn't rinse as well as they should have.

oops

here - eJuice Me Up - Best eJuice Calculator

They're all PG based afaik - they list ingredients in the description

Essential Depot has a gallon of each USP PG & VG for $57 shipped if you get serious about DIY.
I get my nic from WL or RTS. I just dealt with the 1500ml of 100mg I got this week from RTS.
I have about 5 years worth of nic base in blue cobalt bottles w/poly caps in my freezer right now.
My DIY costs me about 6-8 cents per ml depending whether I use MBV flavor or Flavor West.


I'm vaping MBV Udderly Nuts 18mg +2 65/35 right now and I'm udderly nuts about it

 

[moresalt]

Thanks. That was very helpful. I'm looking to start DIY but when I go to order, I just get confused. Nic, base, and then pg & vg and 1000 flavors. Plus it's too easy to just order 50ml of thug

I love you're signature quote (might be paraphrased). Hunter S. Thompson is one of my favorite authors and I've used his similar quote many times to distinguish myself from the land of the LDS (Mormons).

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'Wow! What a Ride!’”
- Hunter S. Thompson

Just got my first order from MBV. 6 x 50 ml of various favors including thug juice, extreme ice, extreme soda and Ecto cooler. Vaping the ice right away and letting the rest steep. No free sample.

Contact James and let him know about no getting a free sample

I'm not worried about it. His prices are so good anyway. I'll just leave a note on my next order.

How long are you guys steeping thug juice, Ecto and extreme soda?

 

[Gautama]

Damn I love these guys! I just got my order of 2 50ml 555 menthol and they gave me a free 50ml vanilla tobacco. Though I don't vape non menthol/mint, I'll mix it with some menthol and everything will be right with the world...until I run out.
