Yes, yes, I open myself up to bashing for expressing a different opinion, or one you feel has already been discussed enough. The fact that it continues to be an issue is, apparently, irrelevant.

Mostly that was just repetitive so I'll refrain from responding to all the same points again.

However, I do find having been out of stock of many of their juices for six weeks plus a real issue, especially when an ETA is promised and not delivered. I've asked them why they couldn't get their flavor bases from another vendor, if even temporarily, in order to get customers a product but did not receive an answer to that particular query as yet.

While I enjoy a number of MBV juices (namely their fruity menthol mixes) and, before this enduring issue, good customer service I am nearly out of their flavors I'd relied on and must look for another source. If I knew they had put in place some kind of back up plan to ensure this wouldn't happen again, I may rely on them again. For many vapors, their juice is a serious issue. Running out can mean risking analog use. Reliability is thus an important factor when deciding to patronize a vendor, for me at least.

I believed them when they said all e-liquid would be stocked by the end of August. When it turned out my juices were not back in stock then, or a week later, or even still today, it was surely a cause for concern.

On the up side, I have received suggestions from many about other vendors with tasty juices who don't have such extreme issues keeping their flavors in stock. Thanks!

You know, nobody was trying to bash you! Sorry you feel that way, just understand what you posted, where you posted it and how you posted it wasn't in the best light to make such a post, it was being pointed out there is a more productive thread for all of this, these issues have been covered over and over, same on FB, support thread and also in here, we try to limit the negativity, this is not the vendors support thread, they cannot respond here, so it's like beating a dead horse, we make no bones about the juices we like or don't but the constant criticism in a thread in which there is nothing that can be done for you is not in your nor other people in this thread best interest, we could all go off on a tangent about the things we did, could get, but whats the point if it's not put in a place where something can actually be done about! Nothing.

Ordered my Moo Juice and Hawk Sauce (50ml each) at 5:17 and got a shipping notice at 7:38!! These guys are :censored: AMAZING! I wouldn't call myself a fanboy, but I sure know a solid business when I see it. Phenomenal prices, lightning fast delivery, top notch customer service, and free samples (my last freebie was 50ml) that seem to coincide with my vaping tastes, make this ex-smoker (still feels good to say that) a very happy man. :vapor::vapor::vapor:

question on MBV sweetener......is it really really sweet....I have some other stuff from another vendor that I use...it's ALT cig I think.....is this MBV going to be about the as e? And do I have to let something steep again when I boost with flavoring and sweetener?

about how many drops of sweetener do you use per 10 ml bottle....AND about how many drops of flavoring equals a shot of MVB ?

It seems like any other sweetener to me, as in pure sweetness mixed at 10%. Regarding how many drops in 10ml, of course that depends how much sweeter you want it. I usually add roughly 6 drops per 10ml, but I have no idea how that will work for you.

I also have no idea how many drops equal a flavor shot with MBV; my guess would be that it varies by flavor and base volume. I do get all my MBV flavors with at least one extra flavor shot and as many as three, but YMMV.

I am so mad at myself for blowin' the sample request, twice! Well maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised getting something I probably wouldn't have ordered :)

I think I'm going to stick with not requesting any specific free samples. I would have never requested Hazelnut and I have been very pleasantly surprised.

I'm not liking my mini Davides - for me they are hard to fill without a needletip (I hate those), they leak, and they fall apart if you don't unscrew the base v e r y c a r e f u l l y. JMHO.

not only do they work, but you get 3 coils with each mini!

AnyVape Davide Mini Glassomizer

too bad we can't compare the with mini-ptanks (with changeable drip tips yet. who knows, the could be better!). the biggest downside to the mini davide is that you need a needle top to fill them. (and i think the bases are too thick. some people are using mini-ptank bases with their davides and find they have fewer problems)

MBV Sweetener is sucralose which is more sweet than ethyl maltol IMO. I can use about a drop for an Evod tank if that gives you an idea of what the ratio is.

It's just my way of working through their juices, when I taste everything that sounds good then I will leave it up to the geniuses.

Dustyz, let me remind you that I posted a message a week or so ago in the support thread that was almost identical to Bellerine's original post. MBV didn't deign to respond.

Well, the fact is that, that section is the best place to post those types of post. The vendor does not have the ability to respond in this thread in the least so it's a waste of time to post complaints that are addressed to issue with the vendor in a section to which they cannot respond, there is nothing that we can do about it in this thread in any way. So it's a moot point. The other alternatives would be to contact them directly by phone and or e-mail or their facebook page.

I either request something specific or give a general category of what I want about half the time, I suppose; there are times when I really want to "sample" something specific. However, I also like being "very pleasantly surprised" sometimes, too, so I intentionally limit my requests to times when I actually do want to sample something specific. The last time that I had a request it was more general - something to mix with their Banana...something cinnamony or custardy, and I was EXTREMELY impressed with what they delivered with: "Cinnabanana" with a special label. I'm not sure what exactly it is, but I like it! On the other hand, I have gotten some stuff that I really, really don't like - but at least I have the benefit of knowing that I don't like something without spending money to find out!

I don't get it. If you're that mad about juices not being in stock, just go elsewhere. Ecblends has virtually the same prices. We get to choose the juice we buy ;) It seems like people just end up like, well mbv doesn't have my stuff, so i'll never get it again. While some of us are like OMG MY JUICE IS BACK IN STOCK.MUST.BUY.RIGHT.MEOW! People seem to understand vendors like Ahlusion, Nicoticket, AiV only being open a short time, this really isn't that much different.

I digress. I'm in love with their whipped cream, so I'll keep on buying it ;)

hard??? impossible, i'd say! i'm buying a bunch of needles for DIY, plus i had 6 needle tops or so anyway. i'm having very slight leaking issues, more than the larger davide, but not much more than condensation. from what i've read, ptank coils work better and pretty much fix the problem. maybe try re-wicking them.

in August, i wanted to buy 4 of these, and 4 mini ptanks and then decide. but i need/want to use different tips, so i gots to wait to compare. (as we don't know when the other ptanks will be out.)

i put them together pretty tightly, even though Eric says not to, so i haven't had the base stay on when removing the the glasso. it did happen a couple of times before that.

the thing i forgot to mention, was the ohm rating on the coils. it's all over the place, from 2.0 ohms, up to 5.6!

but for 12 bucks, and considering i'm trying to switch to all glass, i think it is a good deal. i imagine ptank II minis will be $15, so budgetary reasons factor in for me as well. (if i'm still breathing when they do come out, i'll try them)

if i could change the tips on my evods, i'd use a few more. i have discovered that tobacco flavors do not taste good in glass, they need a warmer vape. and as much as i can't afford it, i'm thinking about getting some of these:

DBox Dube Clearomizer - Black

i hear the coils are crap in that as well, but i like to use long needle tips to avoid getting juice in my mouth. (i do wish there were more than 2 colors)

If you want a warmer vape, you might consider a top coil device and lower resistance coils. You'd get a warmer vape with that kind of a set up. :) :2c:

lower resistance gives a warmer vape? :facepalm: somehow in my mind, i had it figured the other way round.

i'm a bcc guy now. my 2 favorite flavors are ice cream and root beer. i like easy coils, that are all the same and that:

I think the mini stock heads suck, i think all stock heads suck, as soon as i receive new ones i instantly rebuild.

it is going to happen soon that i rebuild, but...we're not dealing with an Einstein or Orange County Chopper kinda guy here. just li'l ole me!
