Help MBV is out of my favorite flavors?! How long do they usually take to get them back in stock?
I dig your avatars! We repurchase Fawlty Towers on every new format. BEST sitcom of all time!! Couldn't bear to be without a playable copy.

On a side note... Oh,wait. THIS is on topic - I'm anxiously waiting for Blue Moo for me, and Caramel Apple for my wife to be back in stock. I hope MBV isn't having issues with their flavor supplier.

that's pretty close to my siggie in another forum
*ever have one of those days when you need coffee to make coffee?*
This goes to show you how far behind I am. I just read your response today. Anyway, the last automatic coffee maker we had, only about 2 months old at the time, my wife made a pot one morning and forgot the filter! Flooded the coffee maker with coffee and wet grounds. Ruined it. We've been using a Melitta basket and pouring hot water through by hand ever since. Much safer, and cleaner.

And MBV juices rock!

There's a Fawlty Towers motel in Cocoa Beach, Fl. I stayed there once because, hey, who could resist? Its only real connection is that it was British owned and run and that Connie Boothe had stayed there once. It was very nice back then, but has kind of gone to seed in recent years. Recently became a clothing optional resort.

So as I was pondering which new juice to try next, I grab Butter Cream and see 24mg. Eek. I must have screwed up. I see it's also 80/20 with no flavor shots. Was just about to tell new-to-vaping friend who's on 24mg that he's got a free juice coming to him.

I check my order confirmation and sure enough, I ordered 12mg 65/35 with two shots. So I send them a message asking if they can confirm its a label error or if I got the wrong mix. Also noticed the order number printed on the label was different than mine. Received a reply about ten minutes later saying it's mixed off the order so it should be correct and just a label error, but they credited me the $5.49 anyway. Great service!

So I have a credit waiting for me. Excuse to order more juice! :D

Tucson, it's a dry heat
Just want to mention that the EVODs I got from fasttech are NOT as good as the real Kangers. I soaked them in vodka (like I do all of my EVODS) and the paint coating bubbled up and came off. Also, the metal finish on one of the bases is wearing off. This has never happened to my other EVODs. I still use them, but from now on, I am purchasing real ones. FYI, the ones I got from MBV seem to be working out ok.

I don't think I would ever order anything from Fasttech. First off I'm far too impatient to wait for all that shipping time, second I can't see sending money to China if I can possibly avoid it, and 3rd I don't want a cheap knockoff of anything.

I soaked my Evods from MBV in water overnight and a few spots came off. I can see bubbles under the finish and so I know more will start to come off. I might just peel it all off and make them silver.

It's quite easy to order from Fasttech, takes about a week to show up in my mailbox and would much rather spend $6 for a Cyclone clone than $65 for something that functions the exact same way. Maybe one day when I have $65 to spend on a piece of stainless steel rather than groceries I might think about it, or just buy more clones. . . All of our money goes to China anyways, how do you think the government is affording all of these subsidized programs. Cut all the duplicate programs and maybe my great great grandchildren will have a functioning government. Anyways, politics is always a terrible subject.

I agree...politics are a sore subject, so leave it alone. I'm saving on not buying cigarettes so I don't have a problem paying a little bit more and putting a few bucks into an American pocket.

If it was a little bit I wouldn't bother with China, but the Cyclone is a Philippine/Asian company as are quite a bit of e-cig products. Maybe if Provari stepped up their game and made a VV/VW product (hopefully a DNA 20 board) rather than sitting on their laurels I would own some vape equip from the U.S. . . JMHO

I do realize most e-cig products are made in Asia. But I have good relationships and trust with a few US suppliers who offer good customer service, fast shipping, and reliability. By patronizing them I'm doing a little bit to stimulate the economy.

I agree there are a lot of great U.S. vendors, MBV being one of the best. We don't innovate we mark-up. It's hard to simulate an economy the government has all it's fingers and toes in. . .

I was just about to post this very thing - a good deal! I love my eVics.

I hope I will too :)

Funny story: This evening I was on the go-cart track and as I'm coming into a turn I see a Vamo on the ground.... "OH ****!" Sure enough it was mine. Next lap I stop to pick it up. It took a beating, all scuffed up. The + button is all wonky now, plus it keeps shutting off and when it stays on, about half the time it reads my attached device at about 0.2 ohms :( On the bright side, my Protank didn't break :
