My recent purchase order has been a huge bust.

RY4 - Tastes nothing like the RY4's I've grown a custom too. Absolutely no sweetness to this juice and the color is black tar. Very harsh tobacco/pipe flavor.
(Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 65% VG 35%, Bottle Size: 30 ml + $2.5, Extra Flavoring Shot (.50 8oz, .25 under 8oz): 2)


555 Menthol - Holy menthol! Smell is sweet but vape is extremely harsh.
(Nicotine Strength: 12 mg/ml (Mild), Blend: PG 65% VG 35%, Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.50 8oz, .25 under 8oz): 2)

Extreme Ice - Very ICY! Been experimenting with adding other flavors to try and sweeten it up a bit, haven't found anything yet. Tried MBV's Ecto Cooler, Gummi Bear and Hawk Sauce. Ehhh, nothings working yet.
(Nicotine Strength: 12 mg/ml (Mild), Blend: PG 65% VG 35%, Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.50 8oz, .25 under 8oz): 2)

If I could, I'd send these back. It was only a matter of time before that one batch came that was completely disappointing. Owell, move onto the next.

is the 555 more of a cig tobacco flavor or pipe flavor?
I am looking for another good cig tobacco flavor.....only one I like so far is BWB Backo...it is light and pretty darn good....but expensive.

I didn't like the 555 when it first arrived. Let it steep for three weeks and can't put it down now. Kind of a mellow tobacco to me. Love to mix it with some fruity stuff too!

I don't think anyone reads anything on the made to order, must steep first part.
All of my juices go to the steep bin for about a month, sometimes I taste test but
most of the time I just stay a month ahead in juice ordering.

I tend to agree with you, it's actually a bit aggravating, seems to me that too many people are in too big a hurry. They can always take their chances on juices that have been sitting on a shelf somewhere for weeks or months. The sad fact is that those types of people are always going to find something to whine about.

The other thing is there are so many people that are members of this forum but only a small fraction have bothered to join CASAA, and you can bet you ... that they are going to be the first ones to cry, b*tch and moan if the FDA puts major restrictions on e-cigs etc. Oh boy I need to stop now, I feel a major rant coming on! :evil: :D:facepalm:

Awww man... both my e-cigs are acting up & I DON'T have a 3rd.. I ordered a 3rd & 4th, just for this reason, but they are in the mail & not here.. aaaaaaahhhhhh

Ahhh always have back ups. I even have a really crappy ego that only lasts like an hour it seems but that's long enough for me to get home, or get something charged. Oh and i can't live without my pass through.
What PVS did you buy?!

From what I've read, the tobaccos need at least 2 weeks but preferably a month's steep. I don't vape tobaccos, so I can't personally vouch for that.

Extreme Ice is one of my flavors, though. It is very very strong, so if you want to tone it down it is much easier to add a drop or two to another flavor. That way you stand a chance of still letting the other flavor come through. If you want to keep it super minty/menthol, try mixing it with Twin Mint, and you should get some sweetness from that :)

Menthol is notorious for staying in attys...it can be really difficult to get out. Coffee is another lingering flavor. There are several that you might not be able to remove without dry burning and changing the wicks.

Good Luck :thumb:

Better an NJOY King than a cancerstick! Hang tough till your order gets there.

We're rooting for you.

yeah me too. i have been perusing some of the anti-MBV threads out there for the first time. it just amazes me that some people are so pretentious and self important enough to think that they can proclaim MBV unacceptable for all of us. i'd be willing to bet that MBV has a bigger and more loyal fan base than any other vendor. it is also most likely one of the fastest growing in popularity. snobbery does not impress me.

Pffft, good for the haters, kelli. That just means more of MBV's prices, juices, and awesome customer service for us. Man, I really do hope they keep building their hardware side up, it's SO nice to to be able to buy juice and hardware all at one place.

Ooh, got the 134 I won here from J-Wraps today. Was starting to think I'd imagined the whole thing. Definitely a sweet looking mod, although not so sure how I like how it performs. Should be good for a trade down the road if nothing else, or maybe I'll grow to love it.

Agreed, what really what really burns my ... other then a 3 ft high flame is those that like to refer to it as Noob Juice, now there are those individuals that think by paying $20.00 for 15ml gets them the best juice, funny part about the whole thing is there are a limited number of vendors that actually make the flavorings, and how many of these so called Gourmet Juice makers use the same flavoring, bet it's a majority of them. I also find the term of Gourmet juice to be extremely pretentious. :facepalm:

How do the haters explain away the fact that MBV's popular flavors sell out? I mean if they are so horrible, then it would stand to reason that nothing should sell out....



Just sayin' :)

My turn....

RTFM!!!

when you order your juice from MBV's nicotine juice main ordering page

one thing that sorta sticks out is this:

10302680323_07f32b4660_z.jpg


I named that picture RTFMorSTFU.jpg

Then when you get your juice this is on what I like to call "The Instructions Page"


10302680123_7e48546f9d_o.jpg


I call this picture RTFMpt2.jpg

"The Instructions Page" is in every order they ship out. It contains instructions and stuff.

Then after not RTFM or "The Instructions Page" some people at least have the balls to come to MBV threads to complain.
That's at least better than starting hater threads or just throwing in passive/aggressive snipes everywhere.
There are dozens of threads explaining steeping. Thousands of folks here at ecf that would be glad to help out.

Next time RTFM and ask questions if you can't find answers on your own


This probably won't become a sticky but Dusty had a long day so here's my :2c:

reminds me of some people who think if you don't own a provari, you are a lower life form. (i said SOME.....i know a lot of very nice provari owners)
