I recently tried some of their Hawaiian Punch, Fruit Stripe Gum and some Black Cherry. All are excellent, but the standout has to be the fruit stripe gum. It tastes just like my favorite gum from my childhood. Most of the bottle of Hawaiian Punch got pilfered the day I let my friend try some, but it's remarkably like the drink of the same name. The black cherry is pretty nice and the flavor is good, but I think I'll be mixing it with cola I bought from another vendor.

In fairness to this vendor..I am checking back in
After allowing the juices to steep for 7 days the ry4 now tastes like ry4
The tobacco is no longer tasting like black liqourice either.
So I do believe you have to let them steep.

The virigina fire cure still taste like cherry syrup. So I will let that age more.

Same, ry4 tastes dramatically different after a week or two.

I thought the ry4 smelled and tasted like black licorice too. Which... would be okay if I liked black licorice but I really really dislike the smell/taste of black licorice. Did you notice the smell change too or just the taste? I have let mine sit now for a couple weeks and want to try it again soon, but it still smells like black licorice to me :(

- On another note, MTBV Butterscotch is very yummy :)

I received a couple bottles today, the cinnamon and extreme ice. Problem is I am not getting much of a throat hit compared to the Cowboy flavor from Smokeless Image which I've been using. All are the same strength, 24mg. I filled two blank cartos and used with the standard Volt batteries.

What PG/VG% did you order from MTVB bro? I ask because this is the first Extreme Ice complaint I have heard.. You are correct, throat hit is determined by the mg/ml of nic.. I'm wondering what happened.. Was the E.I. a freebie? James sends those E.I. samples out as 12 mg/ml and that could explain the lack of throat hit.. what device are you using?
Again I am just a customer and have no affiliation with MTVB.

They are 80%PG/20%VG and are both 24mg/ml, the extreme ice wasn't a freebie. I'm using the standard Volt batteries Smokeless Image | Only The Best Electronic Cigarette | Sealed Automatic Batteries - Accessories and a brand new cartomizer for each flavor.

What "feebie" did you get with your order? I do not! mean to sound like I doubt you my friend but somethin seems a bit funky.. You are running a 3.2v battery according to your link so no flavor can be that good... I'm sorry I have had a bad day and I think I will try to answer your questions better tomorrow. I just haven't heard anything but praise for James' E.I. at any voltage...
Again I am just a consumer but I do own Extreme Ice at 12mg/ml 80/20 and Extreme Ice at 24mg/ml 50/50 and they both blow my mind at a true 3.7v, don't even get me started about E.I. 24 mg/ml @ 5.9v 3.0ohm because I believe it should be outlawed for blowing peoples brains out...

I didn't get a freebie with my order. I only ordered the two 30ml bottles. I just noticed on the site it says orders over $15 get a freebie, I would have upped my order a couple dollars if I had noticed it before.
I was just looking at my bottle of cinnamon and it looks like there is a small, darker liquid on the bottom. Maybe I didn't shake them up enough beforehand and something settled on the bottom.
I'm really new to this (less than a week) so don't beat me up too badly here.

Hey! my friend! Nobody here will beat you up!
First off shake that shtt lol.. You are not wrong for being critical but don't go blaming vendors if you don't know what "time it is"..
Maybe it is a new policy for freebies.. I know James is swamped and he is a 1 man show, It has been 2 weeks since my last order and I usually order in large quantities.
I honestly cant say what your problem is with the info given.. I do know if your juice is separated i.e. "darker juice at the bottom" it needs to be shaken (all juice should be shaken before you use it). Everything settles..
And Ill go one better, if you want to send me your "bad" MTVB juices I have tons of flavors from different vendors I would be more than happy to trade you for.. PM me your addy and lets work somethin out.. You have flavors I haven't tried yet from MTBV and I have flavors from many reputable companies you may like. Also you may just be vaping wrong... Don't ever feel too embarrassed to PM me and ask for some assistance.. We all started somewhere.. and we all started off doing it wrong!

I also wanted to add here some of what I replied to your PM.
There is nothing wrong with being critical of a vendor if you are honest. Taste is subjective and nobody will like everything all of the time. I will never get on anyones back for saying they hated something if its honest. If you look at my review some posts down I lit James up about the 555 I received. Does that make me a bad guy, no, does it mean its a horrible juice, no. It simply means I didn't like it, I can see someone loving it all day every day. It's just part of the business and not only does he know it but he is an awesome sport about it!

Here is one email I got from him when I addressed the 555:

Matt,

Dude its no problem man. I dont want people to lie about the way they feel. We are actually all out of 555 flavoring right now but that last bottle lasted us a few months and has been reordered by people. I do not know what went wrong with yours. I am not trippin at all man. I know I have some flavors here that are prob not great but I still live by taste being subjective and it has been proven that some people enjoy that juice.

I didn't even see this thread until Tiesel sent it to me (thank you!) I put in an order 50/50 12mg nic of Key Lime Pie, Caramel Candy, and Coconut. I'm very excited to try the flavors! I am a little concerned because it's important that my juices have a lot of flavor and some of the reviewers said the flavor was lacking. The good thing is I have other juices so I can let these steep.

I won't though...:lol: I'll try them all when they get here. If they don't taste right then I will let them steep :laugh:

Your very welcome. You will have to let us know how the flavors came out.. Ya know, honestly I don't understand what the problem was with people who said flavor was lacking . Don't get me wrong I believe them of course, the juices may have needed to steep or maybe the batch was even bad, but I haven't had an issue. The one flavor that I thought was weak was the Vanilla Cup Cake, and now that it has steeped for a couple of weeks, like I said below It tastes great and I understand why such a "delicate" flavor needed some time.
LoL I always drip a bit of every new flavor I get, just cant help myself!
I forgot to mention the ECF coupon, I hope you found that on your own, it generally covers about 85% of my shipping no matter how much I buy.

I have 6 of their flavors and here's what I think: Orange Dream Bar is horrible and tastes like vomit to me. Tropical Punch and Mountain Dew are both fine, but lacking in flavor. Spearmint, however, has a very strong flavor and very hard to get rid of if I decide to change flavors so I have to keep a stardust dedicated for it. BUT..... Bavarian Cream and Irish Cream are fantastic and absolutely my favorites of all my juices. I would never want to be without these two.

Well I would say 3 "ok" and 2 "favorites" out of 6 is a win! Ya see I wasn't a huge fan of the Irish Cream.
Please be sure to never throw the juices you don't like away, we have a PIF (Pay it Forward) sub-forum here on ECF. Its great helping out a fellow ECFr who is in need of something to keep him off analogs! Some may just not be able to afford juice at all (hey I have been there, sometimes life is hard, no shame in that) and some are just still looking for a flavor they love. Either way I am a huge supporter of our PIF and tell everyone about it just in case they didn't know.
Take care and vape on bro!

Oh, I won't throw it away. I'm too cheap for that. LOL. I plan on doctoring it up with some flavorings or mixing it with some other juices. This reminds of a time when my daughter was young and I had just ordered a hamburger in a restaurant. The waitress asked what I wanted on it, and I said everything. My daughter piped up and said, "If it's free, my dad will eat it!". I thought that was hilarious. Ever since, when I order a hamburger I tell them if it's free, put it on.

Hah, funny, you remind me of my step dad (awesome guy btw(cheap ...)). Just throwin this out there for you as well, there is a huge "trade" section here where people trade juices/hardware and you could always swap flavors.. I used to be cheap(sorry for callin you cheap, ya cheapy cheap cheap):) and mix juices I hated but then I jus gave up. The reason being 90% of the time mixing juices I didn't like gave me a juice I still didn't like, the other 10% of the time I couldn't remember "what in what %" I put in there in the first place. Another reason is there are so many juices out there if we didn't help each other out most of us would never find our "all day, every day vape". You can trade or you can PIF, I personally would not feel good about myself if I didn't contribute this place that helped me so much, even saved my life (no I do not believe that to be an exaggeration).

Another "pro" for PIF I would like to mention is you can give AND you can take, the only rule (well main rule) is "please only take once every 30 days". Chances are you will get way more than you will end up giving, our donors are just that bad ...!! A lot of our members even donate complete hardware kits! Last month my wife recieved an eGo kit which ( edit: I spelled it "witch" (lol look at me riding on my broomstick fools!!)) I promptly stole from her (sorry my love). :evil: (stupid "evil" icon ruining the continuity of my post, it really is evil!)... We never got around to using an eGo, we went from 510 to V.V. APV... We friggen love this thing! We love the size v.s. battery life, the hundreds of accesories for it, I even ordered a couple of 900mah PTs with removable cables and some lanyards and 2.5ml tanks that fit perectly with some 1.7ohm cartos and we ROCK 'em HARD ALL DAY LONG!!
The point is without our PIF program (Also TY Bluswatch! (the member that donated to us that very first eGo kit)) we would have not found our favorite set-ups to date!

Again, sorry for the long post, I hope it helps and I hope maybe it makes you reconsider our PIF program, vape on bro!

This post is dedicated to Bluswatch and to Matador (who gave me my first ever PIF(a huge lot of juices)) Thank you guys so much, My wife and I will soon post a PIF that will make you guys proud!

P.S.
Trading/giving away juices also helps the vendors you like that make this industry great get their product out there, just another small benefit I thought of.
