If it was me I'd order the DIY flavors....they're inexpensive....and bump the weak juices up a bit. Try a drop at a time. From what I understand, 1 flavor shot equals 2% in each ready made bottle. I don't know how many drops equals a shot but maybe someone else will. I have been ordering my juices at 50/50 or 65/35, down from 12mg. nic to 6mg., 2 flavor shots, and they're just right. YMMV. Good luck!!


Thanks UncleChuck, that's good to know in the future. So is there anything I can do with the batch I currently have? I'd hate to let this huge order go to waste, and I'm not keen on buying more flavoring in hopes that it might get better. Also, there were two flavors that turned out great for me: Moo juice and Extreme Ice.

Fooling around with the idea of trying MBV's DIY. I am thinking of a mix of blackberry, peach, cake(yellow), buttercream and almond amaretto. Having never tried these flavors on their own, I'm kind of unsure what ratios to try. I got stuck on the blackberry/peach idea last night. Thanks to whomever posted that..can't remember and too lazy to go back and look.

Think I'll just wing it, if I end up doing it. Unless, of course, I get stellar advice here, which is always likely.

2% of flavoring for a 15ml batch is 0.3ml...I don't know how many drops that is for each flavoring (some will be thicker than others, so it will vary by flavoring).

I just really love the MBV dark and gunky juices, but they raise havoc on my vivi nova heads. Finally got my Kanthal and some cotton yarn, which I boiled and is now drying....so tonight I do my first rebuilds! I may have to post a picture, next to a bottle or two of MBV juice of course, if they turn out ok. (excitedly crossing fingers)

Good Luck Roonies :thumb: Now you will be able to pull that gunky cotton out and dry burn your coil :)

It takes a little trial and error but you'll get it. Good luck and enjoy!

Yeah, I know...can't dry burn the cotton, but it was cheap and I hear it's a good taste. So, is that what I do? Pull out the cotton when I start getting crappy vapes and dry burn the coil before putting another wick in? :confused:

You've got it exactly :) Once you do it a few times and make a few mistakes, it will go very quickly and be much faster than rebuilding the entire thing. Dry burning will get rid of all of the "gunk" on the coils.

you are much more adventurous than me, roonies. i would never attempt to take anything apart and rebuild it. :p
You might with time and familiarity with your vaping equipment. It's a great way to tailor your vape, and rebuilding coils can be much cheaper than buying new ones all the time. :)

All the recoiling/rewicking/experimenting has made this something of a hobby for me. Keeping me on the sauce and off the cigarettes :)

On topic, Tea flavors, I love tea, green tea, black tea, Earl Gray (my favorite). Reading the reviews has scared me away. Some people are saying the green tea smells like weed. I am a fan of green tea, but have a state job and really don't want to smell like I am doing anything illegal. Has anyone tried it? Your thoughts?

Thanks

I haven't tried the Green Tea, but I did try Iced Tea. It burned easily and gunked the coils quickly :( I decided not to try any of the others.
