Yup got it...in this old pueblo there aren't a lot of stores that have tasty juices. I have some juices from all of them that I've had for a month or so. I still order from MBV, and I just ordered hawk sauce, peach, thug, French vanilla and cinnamon roll from them yesterday. The CR was a reorder since my last 50 ml is almost half gone.

Strawberry tastes like strawberries to me.
I just vaped a batch of my DIY 18mg FW/MBV Strawberry at 7.5w and it was gone before I knew it.
I loaded it with some I mixed up to 24mg at the same flavor % and it's a real socks-knock-off-er
I added half a tank of 18mg MBV Moo juice +1 and yum-....ing-yum
cashmoney - upstomp and a few other long time vapers called my DIY Strawberry very good and enjoyable
It's 13% MBV/FW and I was aiming for that sweet MBV Strawberry +2 80/20 18mg I got a few months ago.
Banana tastes more like banana candy but it's also delicious for a candy flavored fruit vape
Mango is excellent and tasty but I've been told it doesn't really taste like a mango
I like the Blueberry +1 but it's not really like biting into blueberries
Razzleberry is raspberry-like but not as strong as I'd like at +1 so sits in the box - it is good+
Double Apple +1 is very good and strong but let others tell you if it's like a real apple
Thanks for posting about the strawberry flavor. I just ordered the strawberry flavoring and I was wondering at what percentage to start with. Also, do I need to steep the flavorings? I looked around but couldn't find a thread on here in the DIY about the MBV flavorings.
The percentages of MBV flavoring tends to be higher. If you look at the description on the MBV site for each flavoring, it tells you what percentage to use it at :
"We recommend the concentrate to be mixed at 15% - 40% with unflavored Nicotine Juice"
That's a lot of leeway, but then their flavorings come in bigger bottles than the vials you might get from Wizard lab or something.

so.. in the clearo, I get a similar taste to the vanilla custard juice when it was young.. I'm thinking I might have jumped the gun on steep time - but I did hold out longer to try a new to me juice than normal
it's still a light sweet vape with a hint of spice.. not so sure about nutmeg anymore.. maybe mace? or..could be something like brandy or a complex wine-ish flavor underneath - but very light.. it confuses me
but I still like it. I've vaped half this clearo trying to figure out what I'm tasting
Since this is no nic.. the TH is almost non-existent.. and since I've got a little tenderness in my throat today anyway.. not a bad thing for me.. I'm not about the TH anyway. I think after giving a fresh tongue to it in the morning to see if I can figure this out, I'll set the clearo in the steeping closet for another week and see if it changes.. bottle too.

Thanks for the input. I kind of figured that I would start out at 10% and work up from there. I purchased the PG/VG 256ml bottle thinking that I could mix that with the flavorings that I ordered and then mix them in with the extra whipped cream bottle @ 12mg I picked up to alter the taste and mg levels. I'm thinking now that is probably a weird approach to DIY, but I figured WTH, it's a project in the making
13% is pretty strong in 18mg 80/20 but that was what I was after.
13% is very strong in 24mg 70/30 so I'll probably cut it down to 12.75%
If you get big hits but not enough flavor try less flavor.
It's counterintuitive but overflavoring kills the flavor.

Steep? yes. I use an UC and leave the caps off overnight shake the bottles etc

Blah..my tastebuds are ganked tonight and nothing tastes right/good. I hate it when that happens. I've had a beer and a dill pickle and nothing has helped.
One of my pugs is parked literally on my foot with his head against my leg because it is raining and booming outside.
I've successfully talked myself out of ordering a provari until next payday.
Yup, bedtime. Sleep well fellow MBV fans

We're in the same boat tonight.. Nothing tastes good. Bah. I HAVE successfully shopped over half a dozen vendors without buying anything though... A lot of shopping carts that never got brought home. Vapapalooza is this weekend and I keep telling myself I'm going to *have* to buy something there so I need to behave.
Sleep well.
~jealous~
so you get to meet James I bet.. to quote another forum
youtube or it didn't happen
*grin*
I'm shooting to do mixes from 6mg down to 3mg . I like most of the juices I have, but I did the newbie mistake of ordering them in high mg. My last order from MBV were all at 12mg. Thanks for the advice and for the links....more reading to do, but that's OK.
Thank you all for the warm welcomes!!! "
This is a great group of people here!

Thanks for the update. Sounds like some complex flavors in that so you are wise just to steep that some more. Might be a good holiday type vape though.
Oooops I think I'm going to accidentally forget to charge the iPhone. No video for you but if you ask nicely I might take pictures (after I get home and purposefully charge the iPhone) of all the cool stuff I bring home.

Might be ready in time for Christmas
I put in an order on the Fourth of July on the basis of a few people recommending it in the Fourth of July Specials thread. I'd already ordered juice (and quite a bit of a variety) from five other companies because *loud voice* IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN! The time of year when I, the girlfriend, get sick of my boyfriend being stuck on only a couple of juices and really needing to branch out for a variety of reasons. Don't get me wrong-- he can vape whatever he wants, but the most consistent company taste-wise for him is also one of the more expensive ones and also one who takes forever with shipping and 3/4 of the time is out on vacation or closed when he's ready to order. So I ninja-research-and-order a bunch of stuff for him to try in the hopes that he will find a better company.
/rant. This happens 1-2 times a year and Fourth of July is, along with before/after Christmas due to sales, one of THE BEST times to do this. Anyway, it took me forever to find this thread after stalking youtube and google and finally searching Mt Baker Vapor on the e-cig forum search engine (which surprises me-- the most comprehensive Mt. Baker Vapor thread is one that didn't show up despite multiple google search requests.)
Anyway....
One of my boyfriend's complaints it that juices can be too subtle and/or lose their flavor quickly. I'd had my eye on another company who did extra flavoring (I think it was gourmet vapor?) but the stars aligned and along with the extra shots of flavoring, Mt. Baker Vapor was the third (one of my purchases was from eliquidsamples so that's where four of the companies entered into the equation) and final purchase this week even though I swore I wasn't going to buy anymore juice.
My purchase (based on google and youtube but not based on this thread since, sadly, I did not find it til today):
[15mL bottles with a variety of PG/VG ratios though I did buy some basic unflavored VG so he can tweak it however he wants, all with either four or five shots. I know most people start with reg flavor and then work up, but I think with his tastebuds he needs to start high and come down-- once again, the VG should help him if he needs it since he's okay with higher VG though as far as I can tell he hasn't had any sensitivity to PG]
1. 555
2. Thug Juice
3. Butter Pecan
4. Cotton Candy
5. Hawk Sauce
6. White Out
and then I also bought some flavoring so he can mess with these flavors to tweak them (if he wants) or tweak some of the juices he has coming in from other companies. Flavorings:
1. Bavarian Cream
2. Butterscotch Tobacco
3. Coumarin Pipe
4. Extreme Ice
5. Sour Flavoring (which I mostly got because of some fruit flavors coming his way.)
I will do my best to tell ya'll his opinions and I'm really crossing my fingers that he has a new e-juice love interest from Mt Baker because speed/price point/friendliness seem to so far be spot on. Though I've never personally been a smoker, I've dripped some from other companies and I'm looking forward to mixing some super strong flavors into VG and dripping them.
I was actually really surprised to get a call the Fourth of July requesting clarification on an address mix-up from MBV. They were working on the fourth and got it packaged and entered into the postal system on the fourth-- it's not something I require from a company, but that's actually pretty nice of them to do.
Oh, and for those who haven't already found the links themselves (though I'm sure they're posted somewhere here) spin fuel e-magazine has three (so far that I know of) very good reviews of a lot of Mt. Baker Vapor's juices. Here's the third installment I'm currently reading though there's two previous ones:

Mt Baker Vapor e-Liquid Review #3
Welcome to the thread GF
so.. you're not a vaper but handle the SO's juice needs, right?
Weird that this thread doesn't come up in searched.. clicking on new posts will probably show it very frequently during the day (and night) sometimes one day's thread growth is like a novella - I guess we're a yappy bunch.
The MVB tobacco flavors really need a good long steep.. not sure on the flavorings as opposed to the juices -- I have been wondering how that works though.
Of your list.. cotton candy, white out and extreme ice are good right from the mail box.. though, the extreme ice being a flavoring instead of a juice - I could be wrong on that one.
I have some sour juice on the way too.. first for me. I'm hoping for the pucker feeling without a whole lotta fruit involved - kind of like a sour pickle
I want to attempt amaretto sour juice with it.
morning has not changed my confusion with the eggnog. It's not a bad juice at all.. just can't pinpoint the taste profile is all

TheGirlFriend, that White Out is my favorite flavor from MBV, and your boyfriend will probably love it, next time you order it for him with less or no flavor shots
It's best with no flavor shots, and yes that's just my tastes of course, 1-2 flavor shots will be OK I suppose as I've tried those, but +2 let me know that +3 or above isn't going to taste very good at all. It's a strong flavor, especially when you get past +1 shot, and I use it at 50/50, so any PG above that and it's going to be even stronger. If he does like it at +4-5 whatever you got, next time get it for him with no shots, and then one with maybe +1 or +2 and see which he likes better, I bet he prefers zero or 1-2 best.
It's an awesome flavor, and wow +2 is really strong to me, but I prefer +0 on this one as the flavor really shines there, I can't even imagine how strong that would be at +4 or +5
I don't mean to worry you about it, or try to scare you off, just saying I know that's going to be REALLY strong for this flavor, might not even be vapable? If it is bad, cut it in half with PG/VG so you'd be down to +2 shots only, that would help if it's way too strong.
Ohh, and like opal mentioned above, White Out is good right from the mail, but it's taste does change after 1-2 weeks, and is much better then. This is with 0-2 flavor shots, above that I couldn't say when it'll taste best, but I'm telling you now he's gonna say WOAHHHHH
on that first vape of White Out with +4/5!!!I'd love to see that reaction, please PM me in case I miss it when you post back with his tasting results, thanks!
Now you got me curious again talking about it, I always wanted to know how strong it would be, but stopped at +2 because it would almost make my head ring
Now I might have to grab a 15ml at +3 and +4 just to try it like I initially wanted to. I still know it wont be good/enjoyable like that, but I am curious just how strong that taste would be

I'll drip occasionally, but yeah. Got him into it, and he'll go for months at a time not smoking cigarettes and then invariably break his unit/ need a new atomizer/ run out of eliquid from a certain place that will invariably be on vacation or not taking orders. I do drip occasionally but the only one's I've tried weren't flavorful enough so I think I'm going to slowly build the DIY selection so if I want I can drip something more flavorful than the 0nic I was getting from Juicy.
And yes, this thread is certainly gigantic! I've gotten through maybe forty pages but then started hopping around other threads discussing MBV as well as others. Thank goodness Cotton Candy and White Out are good right out of the box. I have to tweak it a bit with some unflavored VG juice. He's used to a 20/80 PG/VG but I wanted to see the difference in flavoring since PG is supposedly more flavorful/steeps faster (at least from what I've read.) BWB's Malty Toffee was a fave of his for about a year, and even though I know that's not cotton candy it always smelled like cotton candy to me. I think he would have fun testing out Bavarian Cream, Butterscotch Tobacco, and Coumarin Pipe flavoring with that. Maybe Extreme Ice. Not sure what White Out would mix with (if he doesn't like it as is) except perhaps Bavarian Cream.
He's a pain about trying to find new flavors. I completely understand though I do want to smack him when he goes too long without re-ordering eJuice and then flips back to cigarettes. He hates cigarettes but he hates more having to essentially pay for a month of vaping up front vs just running to the 7-11 for cigs. Once he has juice he's good to go. He just needs to keep that ball rolling. Luckily, he likes researching all the mechanical dohickie wonders of rebuildable atty's, variable wattage and variable voltage and whatnot. I, on the other hand, am Juice Queen and introduce him to flavors that, while many bomb or are "meh" as expected, also get him more enjoyable picks than would be the case if he got them himself. He's learning that menthol/mint in ejuice does not equal menthol cigs.
Now if only the favorite ones could consistently be available AND be consistently mixed (his latest order of ecto cooler tasted solely of grape. what a waste!) But he didn't tell me til now and it's been so long otherwise I would have told him to to Juicy about it and have them send him another one. If the next bottle tastes the same, I'm not ordering from them again period. Now that I know there's so many Ecto options out there (and here I thought they were the sole proprietor) there's no point being loyal--they're decent but definitely middle-of-the-road (and that's including my 0nic drip options-- they need to offer extra flavor.)
huh on the sour amaretto...but then again, the only thing I really like that's sour are pickles, limes, and lemons. Other that I'm at a loss.

I did get some VG juice so I think what will happen is it will get kicked down to 40/60 PG/VG which will turn out to be around 2.5 flavor shots and then if that's too strong from there, he can VG it some more to 20/80 which should bring it to 1.25 shots.
However, I will have him try it first. No doubt he'll be a big baby about it and declare he hates it and will refuse for days/weeks to try it again at a weaker level. However, see my Avi.
He's been out of good eliquid for awhile and just got a provari to replace a mod that eventually had something burn out, or something kept misconnecting how it connected to something else..? but anyway, his tastebuds are probably out of wack and so weakening it with each try is probably best anyway.
I'm wishing I'd gotten some butter pecan in flavoring so I could 0 nic vg it myself. That and I read a really wonderful review for Whipped Cream in 0 nic that just sounded heavenly (and would make an excellent mixer.)

Great to hear you already know the math to adjust the juices! White Out is a great flavor, but it's kinda strong and bold to begin with, so when you up the level it starts to loose it's awesomeness at a certain point.
It is good out of the mail, but it does change into it's greatness after about a week, prferably two. But that's at 0 shots or maybe +1, not sure how long it would take to mellow out and cream up with 4-5? Hopefully he'll be able to enjoy it after a few weeks, if not still then I'd say it's time to cut it down. You may need to do that right away though, it's a strong but great one!
Please PM me if you remember, when you come back to post his thoughts! I'd love to hear what he said about the White Out at 4-5 shots, thanks!
