Seriously, I understand your reasoning, but I would highly recommend against going with a 30mL size right off the bat. I can't tell you how many juices I *should* have liked but just didn't. I know waiting is hard, especially when you've found something you love, but I'd hate for you to order a big bottle of something and have you not like it.


I know.....I keep going back and forth. Probably a sampler is the best way to go. But dangit, the wait time and then steep time....it'll be three months before I'm actually vaping the flavor I love. :laugh:

Patience is not a virtue that I am fond of, clearly. :p

Hey, my fellow MBV groupies! Let myself run out of Sticky Bun, which is one of the only juices I like anymore since this stupid sinus thing has taken hold. I feel like I'm over it, but my palate seems to have permanently (or perhaps semi-permanently) changed. :( The Hawk Sauce that I couldn't get enough of is not doing it for me anymore. I can still vape it, but I've fallen out of love. Hopefully this is temporary! Thug juice, on the other hand....I can't do it at all now. It seems I've become super sensitive to mint and just can't handle it anymore.

At any rate, I just put in an order for Butterscotch, since so many of you have raved about it, and Afternoon Delight. It was a bit of a gamble, since I'm working with limited funds and I didn't reorder the Sticky Bun that I know for certain that I love.

So yeah, on that note....and like I said, working with limited funds....I was planning to put in an order with AiV Tuesday night, Keeping in mind all that I just said, can someone give me a bit of direction? I am waffling between A Quiet Morning, Afternoon Tea, Zombie Apocalypse, Twas Brilling, and Lemon Loves Cake.

(I am still a complete MBV devotee, I just wanted to ask those who are familiar with the juices that I know and like.)

Also, because AiV wait time is close to a month between ordering and delivery, I'd like to order a 30ml bottle of one of them, instead of the sampler pack. a 3ml sample is about two tanks, and if I find Nirvana in one of those little bottles, I don't want to have to wait another month to get the full bottle. :laugh:

SO....based on my current tastes, which one of the above do you think would be most to my liking? :)

Thanks in advance for wading through my ramblings and offering advice!

Edited to add: Johnny Chimpo is still aces in my book, and so is Almond Delight. My Hazelnut Coffee has taken on an aftertaste that I can't deal with for now. I don't know what's going on with my tastebuds! *cries* Anyway, just wanted to give more examples of things I do still like....

Twas Brilling is hands down my favorite vape of all. No offense to MBV but its amazing and delicious (read you need to clone this) That being said I am out of it and am not reordering for a while because I want it to be kept for a rare and special vape. It is so good that i do not want to even chance burning out on it.

I don't know how close you are to Huston but according to AIV create a cig B&M will be carrying there stuff very soon.

I don't have any advice, but I wanted to let you know that I feel your pain. I have a couple dozen juices, and they all either taste flat, or plain gross (and this includes stuff I couldn't get enough of last week). I'm getting by on Cinnamon Roll - which is just ok right now - a coconut/whipped cream mix, and Spearmint. But I'm not ENJOYING any of it.

I hope this passes quickly. I cannot afford to start over with new juices, OMG.

Twas Brilling is the one I've had in my cart three different times before I screwed around too long and they closed (My own indecision and fault, not theirs. lol) From the description, I REALLY think I'd love it.

Are you the one who left the review about it? It sounds very much like what you said here. ;)

Ooooh, awesome! I wondered if there were any B&Ms relatively close that I could grab it from. Houston is a bit of a drive, but if I try and like AiV juice, I'd definitely be willing to do it. Are you aware of any in the Dallas/Ft Worth area that carry it?

Crazy, huh? Hawk Sauce was like the nectar of the gods a mere week ago. :( And I loved pretty much everything else I had as well. Then BAM....minor sinus aggravation and nothing is making me excited about vaping anymore. And I can totally relate! I am out of work at the moment, so my disposable income is greatly reduced. I have to choose carefully, and pretty much every purchase is a gamble.

*sigh* Here's hoping we're both suffering some temporary thing and we'll fall back in love with what we have.

I feel your pain. A month ago and I couldn't put coffee down. Now, it has an aftertaste of tuna fish. I've also tried caramel coffee, and hazelnut coffee fom MBV, and they have it too. And it's not just MBV, I've tried it from a few different places, and they all have it. So depressing, coffee was my favorite!

I'm just over a month and hoping I don't have to take a walk down this road. I have an unopened pack of cigs in the freezer (just in case) and really want to leave them there.

Something the coffee vapors may not realize is that coffee is like a taste bud clearing flavor, hence they use coffee grounds as scent clearing device for perfume and I have even seen it when smelling wine. I personally have some coffee juice and use it as an in between not an ADV. My suggestion would be to vape something opposite the coffee for a bit, such as a fruit or sweet flavor. And then return to your coffee flavor, it should be nice and vibrant again after you get your taste buds going on something different for a bit.

I'm a tad concerned about this myself. I've vaped on and off for a while now. I quit everything the first time, after having tapered my nic to 0, for three years. I always just quit vaping when I know the danger of going back to cigs has passed and my juices lose their appeal.

But this time it's only been a bit over a month. Definitely not out of dangerous territory yet, so I've gotta find something I like and fast.

Don't do it, though. You'll be sorry! It won't taste like you expect it to and you'll be able to smell how badly you stink. :laugh:

This general malaise that's going around.....I have it too. I love something for a few hrs. and then I'm just....meh....not so much....it's been going on for a week or so.....I think I need sleep....sigh.

Right! I know that's part of my problem, too. Just a general feeling of malaise. It is likely largely due to the fact that it is SO hot outside. I'm having terrible insomnia as well, so yeah....just feel off kilter. Bilbo described it best: "I feel thin. Sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread." (What a genius Tolkien was.....but I digress.....)
