another reason.. they get the tobacco flavors and then don't steep them

i think you hit on something there, hon. like many noobies, i thought i HAD to have something that tasted just like analogs to be able to make the switch from smoking to vaping. so not true. i hated every single one of the tobacco flavors i tried, even after steeping. after a couple weeks, i lost interest in even trying to capture the tobacco flavor and moved on. everyone has to learn that on their own, i suppose. i did and am happy about it. :)

Funny, when I first started vaping, I avoided tobacco flavors completely, strayed as far as I could. Now, 9+ months later (good for me, and good for my wallet !!!!!), I have steered towards them and have bottles of non-tobacco juices sitting in the vape box getting lonely. I have found a couple of tobacco juices that I like so much that they are all I vape right now. I do try to mix some of the other juices with some of the tobaccos, and it has worked in some cases (toasted marshmallow tastes great mixed subtly with certain ones).

....and nice avy pic, Kelli......a hat and shades day, I see. The staff photographer must have sent you a memo that you were due for a change today.

Mine was scheduled for delivery to NJ on the 12th too. This morning it shows that it's in Kearny, NJ, and I have no idea where that even is. Probably tomorrow for my delivery. Wonky USPS this week for sure!!


even tho the delivery was scheduled for 8/12... since postal service decided to reroute it out of the way to jersey, its only in philly this morning. :( which means i won't get it until tomorrow /pout

That's an EXCELLENT point! Not too long ago, I won a 30 ml. bottle of juice from one of the "BIG" names on these forums. The juice I won is hyped all over. I couldn't wait to try it. Tobacco base, caramel, vanilla type. Long story short...It's steeped over a month now and I can't stand it. There's still about 28 ml left in the bottle, but the analog taste overwhelms it. If it vaped liked it smelled it would be great. I went to the website and checked the price of a 30ml.....$20!!!8-o Glad I didn't buy into THAT hype.....I quit cigarettes...the LAST thing I want is a juice that tastes like them.....BUT...everyone is different and to each their own :toast:

LOVE them both, especially Solar Flare. I order both with 2 flavor shots!

Wow! Just tried 'Solar Flare' for the first time. (50/50, 18 mg, 0 flavor shots, made 7/29) Intense flavor, almost too strong for me. I can't imagine ordering it with flavor shots. Strong citrus/menthol/mint. I've heard people say it tastes like an orange TicTac but I don't really get that (other than that it's in the same flavor class). Nothing I could vape all day but a nice change of pace. Great vapor cloud.

Edited to add: I've been vaping it now for maybe twenty minutes and the intense flavor has eased off a bit (thankfully). I think I shocked my tastebuds into submission or something :) I've never been a menthol fan so I'm not sure if it's more menthol or mint but it's growing on me. It's a huge change of pace for me but when I go back and forth between this and other flavors, it really makes the other juices seem more flavorful.

Also tried 'White Out' last night. (80/20, 18 mg, 1 flavor shot, made 8/8) This one is supposed to taste like a white TicTac. Milder than 'Solar Flare', even with the flavor shot and higher PG. Overall I like this better, it's not so 'in-your-face' (and I like vanilla). I would probably order an additional flavor shot or two next time I order it.

If you are interested in trading it, I have some non-tobacco juices available. I think I know which one you are talking about and it is one of my faves. Let me know.

Did you see the one last night where some chick let a blind guy tattoo her??! Those back stories are crazy!! :shock:


That's why i like Tattoo Nightmares, it's always some off the wall story about getting ink in some street parlor or basement. Some dude had an upside down cross made of penises.

i saw one where a girl got a hideous tattoo and said "i didn't realize it was going to be a life long curse". what did she think, it was going to vanish in a few days???

sidebar: i read the other day that there are almost as many places that remove or fix tattoos now as there are that apply them. regret rears it's ugly head a lot years later.

Man I love MBV, I ordered On the night of the 11th, it was made on the 12th and today the 14th it's in my mailbox. I haven't tried all my new ones yet, besides Ecto cooler, but after a quick whiff of all of them they all smell ready to go, even the 236mL! I've been waiting for Moo juice to get back in stock, so when it finally showed back up I ordered a 236mL of that, 30's of ecto cooler, faux hawk, demon enegy and bananas gone nuts along with some sweetners and a sour bottle also a few other small things. Yeah I really spoiled myself, but It was well worth it.

I'd love to go on one of those tattoo make over shows. I have one that's 20 years old and it could use some sprucing up. Make overs are the hardest so I'm sure it will cost me plenty to get it fixed.....very heavy tribal style black...ugh!

Got both of my orders today. :) Mixed my juicy fruit/big red juice and am speed steeping it now. So far I think it is really close to the juice that inspired it. Can't wait to taste it in a week.

Vanilla cupcake is nice out of the mail but very light flavor even at +2 shots. It will make a good foundation for a DIY vanilla I want to make. Should give some of the flavor complexity a good vanilla juice needs.

Have yet to try the peach rings or zebra stripe that came as samples.

Don't get me wrong....I do like a good tobacco vape. MBV RY4 is probably my favorite. It takes a LOOONG time to steep...a month at least, but when it does it's FANTASTIC!!!:shock: Great Dominican Cigar flavor with rich caramel and a vanilla-nuttiness to it. The longer it steeps..the better it gets. The stuff I'm talking about smells great..but has a chemical bitterness to it. Maybe a bad batch.....PM me if you want.:toast:

I don't have television lol. I watched that Tattoo School one a few years ago because it was so controversial. I hate all the "Ink" shows, I'm sick of a sob story behind each piece.

Ah, another person without television. I was beginning to think I was the only person in the US who doesn't own a television. (No, I don't watch on the computer either :) )

LOVE them both, especially Solar Flare. I order both with 2 flavor shots!

I have to say that the Solar Flare is growing on me the longer I vape it. It's been a couple of hours now and I'm liking it more and more.

[shudder] I like a lot of MBV flavors but their RY4 was the first thing I tried from them and I almost didn't buy anything more. Someone gifted it to me and it was well-steeped so that wasn't the problem, I simply don't like it. (I even threw away the brand new clearo I'd put it in because I couldn't get the taste out. Ugh.)

That's OK, thanks for trying! I'm pretty sure she made it through! Isn't her voice amazing? Gives me chills!

Yes, she got amazing talent! She should go through with no problems, but then again, you never know when it's the Public that votes, I have seen some really stupid votes in the past. I don't normally watch those programs, but AGT has a little of everything and my normal shows are all repeats, so I started to watch it, especially after seening Keishi do his thing, that guy has real talent and imaginations. love the Matrix thing he does, hell I would have throw my back out and I have been in Martial Arts for well lets just say a very long time! lol
