I know MBV ships super fast under normal circumstances but after the frenzy yesterday the MBV crew is right on track as always.

Are you leaving long tails when you wind the coil? I leave a longer tail on each end (and keeping whatever support you used to wrap the coil in the coil, like toothpick or needle) and set the coil into the head, while threading the coils down through it. Gently insert the silicone/rubber stopper part of the way (one leg inside the stopper, and one leg outside the stopper). Grab onto the tails with one hand and more firmly push the stopper into the coil head with the other. Then insert the metal pin, and trim the tails. I hope that helps some.I gave another go at redoing my coils tonight. My problem isn't so much actually making the coil around the wick, its like putting it all together. one of the wires always gets caught up when im putting the rubber stopper, and the pin in, so then it puffs it all up and messes it up, if that makes sense LOl. i was able to make two, one is 2.0 and the other is 1.8. i think they are a little low, not really sure why, the one looked pretty close together with 6 coils, the 1.8 i only did 5. i tried the graham cracker in the 2.0 one, it definitely works!! the juice is just too harsh. i can so smell coconut tho <3 that.
I thought I would post this as there seems to be some interest in flavor combinations, the main theme on this one is Fruit Flavors that go well together with some popular ingredients.

cool I like wethers candies....did you do 50/50 of each?
Anyone know how long I should steep East Coast Tobacco? 2 weeks in and this stuff still smells... I don't know. Bad. Like perfumey alcohol...
Also, not digging the graham cracker? Is it supposed to have a really heavy cinnamon taste to it? I ruined some Johnny Chimpo throwing 15 ml's of Graham Cracker in with what I had left of the JC.
Milk Chocolate is REALLY harsh. Taste? Not bad. But I can't vape it. Just too harsh. 70 VG, 30 h2o mix. 24 mg. Chokes me up. All of these I'm complaining about have a good 2 week steep. I'm losing faith in MBV. Thinking about looking for another vendor.
I got a nice little package yesterday with Cinnamon Roll, Razzleberry, Blue Moo and Key Lime.
Im a big fan of the Cinnamon and Razzle but hadnt had the other 2 before...ive got the Blue Moo going and its pretty damn good! Key Lime....hmmm.....not sure about it yet. Has a bit of a strange taste to it and not quite the Lime taste I was hoping for....
Just waiting on Berry Treat and Get Razzled to come back in....and hopefully they dont run out of Butterscotch and Spearmint while im waiting on the others....and there will be another order going in....
I can offer you some info on MBV tobaccos, but have NEVER used Tobacco Pure so I'm not sure it'll help muchI use MBV tobacco juice and find it pleasant. Remeber, TASTE IS SUBJECTIVE!!! The first thing, ALL of their Tobacco juice require alot of steep time, some of them UP TO A MONTH...
to reach their full potential. What you may taste and smell initially (the maple syrup thingy) WILL change. HOWEVER.....almost ALL of their tobacco's DO NOT HAVE a traditional analog tobacco flavor....they tend to be more of a fine dominican cigar type tobacco....
If you have never smoked a good Dominican (Arturo Fuente, Partagas, Punch, Ghurka, etc.) it is understandable that you would have trouble identifying the flavor which I think is why alot of the reviews on their tobacco's are off. Most of their tobacco's have a very rich, nutty, undertone that is traditional with a Dominican...very smooth....with a warm, leathery, taste. I ALWAYS keep their 555 and RY4 on hand and find them VERY good as an evening vape after doing all the other wonderful flavors they have all day. Some people have described the taste of their tobacco as "licorice" like.....as this develops it becomes the Dominican taste that is desirerd by cigar smokers. As I stated earlier......they take awhile to steep. I've found the 555 is very good after about 2 weeks...the RY4 is a MONTH. The 555 is slightly sweet, with a very rich nutty flavor over the top with a hint of caramel in the background and the rich tobacco dominating...easily an ADV for tobacco lovers and closer to a traditional RY4 type flavor.
The RY4 on the other hand is a VERY COMPLEX BEAST
It is by no means a traditional RY4, but after the long steep to me, it is TRULY rewarding
The Dominican tobacco taste is strong in this one! The caramel, vanilla, and SOMETHING ELSE (maybe licorice) that I cannot put a finger on blends WONDERFULLY with it....it quickly becomes an addiction...but due to its' complexity..IS NOT FOR EVERYONE..
Keep in mind as I mentioned before...TASTE IS SUBJECTIVE and YMMV. I hope this gives you a general idea of the MBV tobacco's. Steeping them IS required...so if you do try them be prepared to show them LOTS of love before you can get their full potential. Good luck!

I just got MBV's RY4 in the mail today. Is this one that really needs to steep? I've mostly gotten fruity flavors from MBV and most of them have been great from day one, but Ry4 seems...well...not so great. Maybe I'm still learning what RY4, categorically, tastes like. Thoughts?
I got it in 1.8% strength with one extra flavor shot, and it's maximum VG.
I posted this yesterday I believe for a similar question...HOWEVER...since your blend is 100% VG...I'm not sure it will apply. The blend I used in the above review is 80pg/20vg at 18mg with 1 flavor shot. It is my understanding that a max VG blend takes longer to steep so YMMV. Ry4 will take at LEAST a month...A FULL MONTH.....but if you have patience...it is VERY good. See the comments above and good luck!
Ouch!! You made my brain hurt a little bit.
What?? No cilantro and garlic with the tomatillo?
I've only mixed a few MBV flavors:
Pineapple/Peach 50/50 with WC .. it mellows out the harshness of the Pineapple/Peach
Hazelnut/WC 50/50 in a 15ml bottle mixed with 1ml of Cafe Coffee

Hmmmm mixes mixes.....who else has found some great surprises mixing two together from MBV ?
What kind of great concoctions have you come up with ?
are there many juices from MBV that do NOT need steeping....I realize they may get better with steeping....but are some very good right away?
