For the past couple of years, we bought these nasty nasty things call Trend Filtered Cigars online. They were about $15 a carton (or $1.50 a pack). Can't say I would recommend it, even when I smoked. However, it was costing the two of us about $100 - $120 a month. We thought we might save money vaping (as well as feeling better and being able to apply for non-smoker-only apartments). Well, two out of three isn't bad, right?

We were spending $86 one week and $130 the next and back and forth. Now we spend $43 every week (cause hubby still smokes) but he is slowing down by vaping some :)

I saw in another thread that you where going to do a MBV/FW comparison to see if mbv waters it down. Did I you ever get a chance? Just ordered som DIY from MBV and was wondering your thoughts

MBV & FW flavors that I tried both of seem to use the exact same %

I'm vaping DIY FW (same as MBV) Grape all day here. Tastes like grapes. go figure. It's good.

Vaped a few ml of Surprise Grape yesterday and last week.
mmmm maybe bubbles, maybe blackberry, not sure.

What are you mixing the Grape at? I finally got my 150ml 80/20 24mg bottle in today so I'm getting ready to go on the DIY adventure. I have Grape, Strawberry, Cafe Coffee and Maraschino Cherry flavors right now. I plan on doing 12mg and 6mg mixes (I have a big bottle of 80/20 0mg base to bring down the nic levels).

I really want to like this place, but I just can't. Got my order in today, and not really crazy about any of it. I re-ordered peach rings and it taste totally different. The last time it tasted like a strong peach rings, but this time it has a strong chemical taste. I also ordered hot chocolate. There is a nice underlying flavor that I really like, with a black pepper taste that I can't say I care for. Got the cantaloupe as a freebie. Whipped cream to cut the lemon goddess, as was recommended in an earlier post. So far about twenty flavors and nothing that just make me says wow. To me anything with caramel taste like grass and anything with watermelon taste flowery.

The price is great and the shipping is super fast. Ordered Thursday night and got my order today (Monday) in Arkansas. I ordered some DIY from another vendor at the same time and their website still says processing.

Gonna let em steep and try again.

Dark Chocolate is awesome. It has good TH for 18mg & the flavor is pretty accurate: bitter chocolate, not much sweetness to it. It is very good on its own and has a ton of potential for mixing...i can't wait to try it with blueberry or wild cherry.

I can attest that it goes well with Candy Cane and Raspberry too. :)

12.5% Grape in 20.5mg 76/33 to make 18mg 70/30
It might be tasty at 12.25 but it's damn good at 12.5 for me.
I try every FW/MBV flavor at 12.5% first and rarely need to adjust.

I mix my strawberry a tiny bit stronger but it'll probably be premium at 12.5%

It's been tricky to get a good Strawbana mix because my strawberry is so strong it overwhelms the nana.
I'm probably going to mix the straw down to 12.5 and try again soon.

Since you have fruit flavors listed...everyone that's tried my FW Mango @ 12.5 loves it.

No one ever talks about candy bar. I love it!!! I have snickers and candy bar. But I think the candy bar tastes more like a snickers :)
Thought I would throw a flavor out there that no one talks about :)

I had that in my basket twice last FW order but not when I finally clicked PAY
I did get 10 flavors (40oz!) this time and ordered 5 lil jugs of MBV signature flavors at the same time.
Man, I'm all set for flavoring now.
Note to self: Self, Candy Bar stays in next order.

Thanks! I'll give that mix a shot. I did a test mix of Cafe Coffee @ 10.00% and it came out pretty good and I plan on doing mixes with hazelnut and whipped cream. I also did a 20% Strawberry with Lemon Breeze (a freebie)....Freckled Lemonade? I might have to notch down the Strawberry as you suggested.

Is there a MBV DIY thread out there?

my steeping patience ended on another new to me flavor today.. sour yum.

I did not read the reviews because I wanted to do this one on my own so to speak. It's been a little under a week since it arrived in the mail box and right now, I get something sort of perfumy but not in a bad way. Sorta floral.. sorta tart, very hard to describe but not tank worthy yet.. the bottle is sitting next to me for daily drip checks though.. darn interesting at this stage.

Am I nuts that I seem to be the only one that has tasted something slightly perfume like and liked it?

now, I know some of you stopped at that third word in the last sentence.. just to say *yup - she sure is* and I have to agree ~grin~ a little nutty goes a long way toward a good disposition.

I've been away from the computer for a few days..I read back ten pages from here but didn't see anyone who has tried the cantaloupe yet? I got my big bottles of butterscotch and freckled lemonade today and (rats) a second bottle of cantaloupe. Are they trying to get rid of it? :D I haven't actually tried it yet because I don't have an empty tank but the first one I got is about 5 days old now and still smells exactly like nail polish remover...
Curiosity got the better of me and I broke into the Cantaloupe after 3 days of steeping. It still has that nail polish remover smell, but definitely tastes like cantaloupe.

On a different note, glad I reordered big bottles of Butterscotch and Cinnamon Bun - I've been going through both of them like there's no tomorrow!
