Cucumber mint is probably the ONLY flavor from MBV I've tried and didn't really care for. It was in my very first order. I got a 15ml and that was almost 2 months ago. It's been steeping that long and I still have over half the bottle left. Definitely spearmint, which I do love, but not much cucumber....not for everyone.....:blush:

I mixed a bottle of MBA cucumber mint today, I havebeen vaping it since I mixed it, one of the best juices I have tasted in a while

Good morning! Yippie Skippie today is the last day of the semester :banana: and my final :evil: In the spirit of procrastination what flavors do you have in rotation today or do you have an ADV? I've got Cinnamon Roll, Strawberry Shortcake (both were good from the start but AMAZING after a couple weeks) and Mt. Dew/ Strawmelon from the local vape shop. Have a great day :)
It's hot (105 degrees) and humid here today and I spent the morning out on my boat (had to take the trailer in for repairs so I was "forced" to launch the boat to get it off the trailer, darn!), so I wanted something cool and refreshing - Mixed Raspberry Iced Tea with a bit of Get Razzled and it hit the spot nicely. Now that I'm out of the heat and back in the air conditioning, resorting to Plan "B"....."B" as in Butterscotch, while I watch the afternoon thunderstorms making their way toward us.

I haven't really nailed down an ADV yet - still fickle in my tastes and enjoying trying out new flavors, and nothing has really hit me right between the eyes yet. The closest thing to an ADV I've found so far is Butterscotch, but I even want a change of pace from that once in a while. I can only see myself settling down to 3 or 4 flavors (at minimum) as a daily rotation - one with my morning coffee, an ADV for the rest of the day, then maybe an after-dinner dessert vape (Cinnamon Roll, anyone?) and a relaxing nighttime flavor (probably lower nic).

It's funny - somebody mentioned in another thread somewhere that as smokers, we were perfectly happy with the same ol' flavor all day every day - but as vapers, we're nowhere near as monogamous. Fits me perfectly!

Sorry I have not reported on this sooner for those that were interested. I had/have house guests and was/am busy catching up on old times.

Anyway I am reporting on MBV Hawaiian Punch. Well I am afraid the news is not good, but I have hope. Straight out the box, no steeping, it tastes like Hawaiian Punch flavored Car Wax. It took me a while to identify the funny flavor I was tasting, and it is definitely Turtle Wax.

The good news is I can definitely taste the Hawaiian Punch Flavoring and it is the predominate flavor. I can only hope that a little steeping will get rid of the Turtle Wax Flavor.

Im really shocked at how different people are when it comes to what they use for tanks. Seems just about everyone is on the evod. I tried the pro tank, iClear 30, and Vivi nova and absolutely hated them all. To much gurgling(vivi), flooding(pro tank), and the iClear would out of nowhere give me a mouthful of juice without warning. I have been on carto tanks and RBA's and love them, plus no worry about tanks cracking!

I'm a carto tank girl here. I have a huge habit of throwing my vamo here and there and with an evod or t3 they leak. Plus never having to concern myself with tank cracking flavors is great!

I put mine at the back of the drawer and forgot about it for months.... It's gets a lot better :)

So your saying it started out harsh, but had a lovely finish? :evil:

Finished off that evod of peanut butter and butterscotch, came home and filled up another. Tastes like the peanuts from fiddle faddle or poppycock (toffee popcorn with peanuts). If you have these flavors around I highly recommend trying it!

My tracking says my 5 pawns should have delivered today (on the truck for delivery) but it didn't show up :( And now I have to go back to work because we are short staffed tonight and couldn't cover it. The joys of management.

Hooray tomorrow is Friday!

My last order I got some Texas Sweet Tea. I know everyone has different tastes but this stuff tasted like nothing at all, just a hint of sweetness. I got a second opinion and they agreed. I am not sure if that is what it was supposed to be or wasn't mixed correctly, it was clear, not sure if it was supposed to be.

I mixed it half and half with some MBV RY4 and vaped it anyway, just looking for some feedback.

WOW I placed 4 orders with different vendors this afternoon, and the only one who hasn't shipped is MBV :ohmy: This is the 1st time I never had MBV ship on the same day I ordered, normally they are the first out of anyone, not complaining though, not like I am out of juice with the tons of blue tops I got anyway, just surprised me, been spoiled before now with MBV.

I never got an email notice that my last order from MBV shipped. No email, no tracking, no nothing. It arrived two days after I placed the order just like it always does but I was never notified. I have noticed that they have been very busy lately so I wasn't worried about it. I assumed that they simply forgot to notify me and as it turned out that is exactly what happened.

It just might turn up in your mailbox right on schedule.

Yup yup, seconded. Check the website if you haven't. I didn't get a notice either and it showed up 3 days later. :)

Yep, the cucumber note is very muted on this one, but I LOVE this juice on a hot hot day! If I bump my volts up to 4.8 I get a little more of the cucumber. Mine is 12mg., 50/50, with 2 extra shots. Wonder what 3 or 4 extra shots would do for this? Probably ruin it, huh?! I looked for plain cucumbeer under the BYO but there was only the cuc/mint for a flavor choice. If you decide to PIF, think of me.....raising my hands frantically over my head!!:banana:


Of course its yours. :) PM sent!

Edited to add: I should have told you about it to begin with! :laugh: Who'd have thought that I'd have something in my paltry collection that you'd actually want in trade. :p

    How long did you steep it for? Most of these juices need a week to 3 weeks to reach maturation and complete melding of flavors.

    I let it sit for about a week, don't have much stock as I am still new to this. I would have thought it would taste like something, anything even new.

    I don't have any experience with the teas but maybe someone who does will step in with some ideas. Hope it works out for you. Nothing worse than looking forward to a flavor and not liking it. It's happened to most, if not all of us. You'd be amazed, though, at how dramatically a flavor can change over a few weeks time in a cool dark place.

    Sorry I'm not multi-quoting here, but you guys post a lot!! :D

    Opal, if you decide to go the carto-tank route, consider the 3.5ml Smoktech carto-tanks. They should be about the same diameter as the SI Volt batteries, and hopefully won't ruin your aesthetic :) They come in colors, and are made of polypropylene (won't crack with almost any juice)

    It's not just cracking you have to worry about. Plastic also leeches, JMHO.
    This^^^, +1!! Just because you don't see your tank falling apart before your eyes doesn't mean that no damage is happening. It is possible for some of these juices to cause leaching and weaken the polycarbonate, only for it to show later. I would rather not vape plastic in my juice (sauce :)). :2c:
