Salted caramel has gunked up two ce4s and two t3 heads for me. Only my drip atty is safe to use with this juice.
It's a weird flavor indeed.
It fried 2 eGo-C attys(one was brand new) and a Nova head within a day, but this cheapie mini-clearo has held up for the last 3-4 days
And all of the above has held up to the regular Caramel just fine :confused:

I was finally going to order from MBV this week, and they ran out of the flavor I wanted to try. I've heard so many good things about their Cinnamon Roll... I hope they get it back in stock soon!
Whoa! Thanks for your post, I'm not sure why it never occurred to me that juices could go out of stock. I'm a newbie to juices, but I ordered a second batch of cinnamon roll last week because it is that good. I'm sure it will be back soon, it will be worth the wait.

There are three basic methods that I know of. Some have used the microwave, with varying success...but I've personally never tried it.
Traditional: Shake the bottles vigorously for a full minute. Remove the cap and dripper tops (keep track of them so that you can put them back on the correct bottle) and leave them open overnight. Replace the dripper tops and caps, shake, repeat. From the third day, you can just shake them a couple times per day.
Hot water steep: Boil water in a pan on the stove. Remove the pan from the stove and let the water cool for a few minutes (you don't want to melt the bottles). Put a rubber band around the bottles with the caps and dripper tops removed. Set the bottles in the hot water and leave them until the water reaches room temperature. Replace the dripper tops and caps and shake the bottles again. Some are able to vape at this point, some flavors may require further steeping.
Ultrasonic Cleaner steep: Put your bottles (with caps on) in the carrier or reservoir. Fill the reservoir with hot tap water. Run the UC for full cycles (most have timers that limit how long they can run) until the bottles have half an hour to a full hour of run time. Some will remove the caps and dripper tops overnight after the UC steep.
It's always a good idea to shake your juice bottles before dispensing the liquid into your delivery device. Good Luck!

Don't forget what is probably the most common method-- Shake it like crazy when you first get it. Open the cap and smell it. Taste test it a little on your hand. If it's pretty good, put some in a clearo/carto/tank and a try it. If it's good, vape it. If it's not awful/not that good/not as good as you had hoped, shake it again, re-cap it, and put it in the back of the drawer. Shake it again, whenever you think of it. Pull it out again in a couple of weeks. Begin again at "Open the cap and smell it." Repeat as necessary.

I hate to be this guy...but the Peach smells/tastes like gasoline.
After a month...it hasn't relented in it's petrol persistence.
Try new sources maybe?
If it doesn't work for you after a month, it probably won't ever work for you. If you need Peach juice, then yes I would suggest trying another vendor. I would suggest one for you, but Peach hasn't been on my personal list.
I have read that a few flavors that were completely unvapable were really good after 3 months, but who wants to wait 3 months?
Some might suggest diluting the Peach you have (if you have unflavored nic in PG/VG, plain VG or plain PG on hand). It sounds like there might be too much flavoring in the mix. You might be able to salvage it cheaply this way, but then again it might not work at all.

The peach I've had from another led me to get Peach from MBV...thinking it's roughly all the same. Sadly mistaken.
By the by, I got the 8oz, 50/50.
If it smells like gas, no cut in the world will get rid of it.
After cutting...Le gas.

The gas won't go away.

Yes, I would think so. It's just something that I've read others try, so I thought I would pass it on. Now that I read it again, I was wishy-washy even mentioning it.

My point is, the owner (forgot his name) WANTS this feedback.

I KNOW he'd want to know that the Peach doesn't steep at all.
As a matter of fact, I'm FORCING a change. Nobody buy peach until a recipe change has been stated...or if you like Gasoline.

If not...hey. I've done my part.
 
Hm, never tried the regular peach, but the Peach Rings is aaaawesome. Although based on the smell of it with 0 shots, it doesn't seem like a flavor that could handle extra shots very well. Even with 0 it's kinda perfumey.
Perfume...gas...all bad.


Again, not bashing, but he'd want to know this.

Is it James?

I heard in another thread.. they're not out of the juice but the 15ml bottles. They mix the juice there. bottles on the way.. so glad I got my vape mail last week.

my steeping method is a little different.. I take the tops off - give em a little shake and put them in the closet and forget they're there for a while. My all VG juices don't shake very well as they're pretty thick and there's so little space in the bottle for air.. shaking seems like wasted labor for me. I might, after a couple days go put the tops back on...

Just got Ecto cooler, hawk sauce and a 50 of Pineapple upsidedown (my ADV) with a free sample of ocean breeze. Ecto cooler may become my ADV once i find a glass clearo I like that fits on the eGO-C twist. It's so good, tastes like orange tic tacs to me. Hawk sauce is a little perfumey so I'm letting it steep. Lots of flavors in that one that I cannot place. It kind of like "blue" sports drinks. Ocean breeze is mostly coconut to me. I don't taste the banana or pineapple or other flavors but it hasn't steeped yet. Overall a good haul and it arrived right on time because I put the last of my Pineapple Upsidedown in my tank right before the mailman showed up.

How sweet is the Pinapple Upside Down Cake? I have been on a fruity binge but looking to try the sweeter flavors. Has anyone tried Banana Split yet?

maybe he got a bad batch?

Matt- I'm new at all this too. Have become a bit OCD reading these threads. I'm thinking I want to try to rebuild my coil/wicks but haven't done it yet. Just mastered the dry burn tho. I have a couple of vivi nova minis with metal tanks also. Also still using some vision clearomizers. I'm not getting the TH I want with some of my liquids and I'm thinking a VV may be my next step. Not sure about that tho. I'm definitely not saving $ vs analogs yet but this is much more fun and won't kill me:)

I'm an insanely compulsive tinkerer :) So really, it SHOULD have taken me about a month to break even on the cost of smokes vs cost of vapes, and another month or less to go well below considering I was spending $265+/mo on cigs. However... Last month I went a little nuts buying flavors, went through a metric crapton of cartos with trial and error on how to prime and fill them properly, etc. I must have burned at least 5 or 6, filled a number of them to the point of being near useless, and in an attempt to clean a few cartos, lost track of time and um... Yeah, the smell of boiled away water + vape juice + burning metal? Yeah. Bad. Just bad.

Good luck :) I'm at about a month and a half now. Bought my first ecig kit on February 17th, had my last analog on February 18th, and haven't looked back.
