We can also do all of that here, I filed the unemployment online but they take their time about sending out a determination letter as well, their site still shows pending. As for the employment service I really need to go in to talk to a Veterans Rep about some other possibilities that may help in my job search. I have a number of job services that I have send me job search listing to my e-mail but I still get a lot of stuff that really doesn't pertain to the type of work I do, it's more work finding work then actually working! lol

Tucson, it's a dry heat
I'm sure this has already been discussed (I've been MIA for awhile), but whoa, MBV is getting some good stuff and offering good pricing. Their K100s are almost as cheap as fasttech (imagine the exponentially faster shipping!) I'm tempted to get an MVPv2 even though the co-ops are slightly less. The price is still excellent.

I'm wishing that MBV had a flavor akin to Kracker Jacks. I just blew through a bottle of Kracker Jacked from Flavorz by Joe. That stuff's pricey but good! I tried to DIY my own (Caramel, popcorn, and peanut butter), but it's just not as flavorful.

Ya every time I look there it's always out of stock. Well I got some vape mail today. I finally got a blue Smok Pyrex ARO for my Buzz Pro. I guess this is sort of MBV related the BP and eGo both have MBV juice in them.

View attachment 254724

The big 240ml bottle there is some DIY Tobacco Smooth a friend of mine sent me. It's really good. :)

Watch for the ARO to leak. Mine leaks when it gets low on liquid. It starts to flood and eventually leakes out the bottom. But other than that its been a good experience.

Well the red ARO there I've been using for 7 weeks now. I usually get just a gurgle or 2 when it's close to empty. Only time it's leaked is when I accidentally pulled out some of the wick from the first head in that one. Other than that it's been near flawless. I wonder if I am using higher VG than you? VG makes juice thicker and less likely to leak. All my juices are between 50-80% VG. If I use more than 50% PG too much it bothers me with irritated throat, heavy feeling in chest, and sometimes Heartburn. I find as long as my juices are at least 50% VG then I have no problems at all even if I vape like a freight train which is what I usually do. I had a 15ml sampler that was 80% PG I think I may have had that leak a little when I used that. I also like the thicker vapor of higher VG.

Oh I forgot to mention screwing it down too tight can make it leak a little too.

This is where I need the advice......percentages of flavor for MBV. I remember the 12.5% so say in a 30ml bottle, 3.75ml for the flavor..correct? Does this mean I would only put 26ml of the base in the bottle plus the flavor to get a 30ml bottle? I'll have to get syringes and measure but just wondering...advice anyone?:) Since I usually vape an 80/20 pg/vg mix...I'll want to add an extra shot to make up for the pg loss in the 65/35 blend...what am I looking at here guys? Am I going about this the right way?

I just started DIY using Mt Baker Flavoring and I'm finding it to be very mild. First batch I did 0 nic with 15% banana split 50/50 pg/vg and a second batch mixing 10% iced tea, 4% lemonade, and 1% sweetener (total flavoring 15%) and I am just not tasting much in a tank (I can taste them on a dripper tho). Went up to 20% and took a chance with 12mg nic on the next mix using vanilla ice cream and the flavor is still barely there.

From reading around I've gotten the impression that Mt Baker Vapor flavoring may be less concentrated than that of other suppliers (including Flavor West which I've read is Mt Baker's supplier though I've not seen anything confirming that from Mt Baker, just hearsay). I'm curious to see what others' experiences are, specifically with Mt Baker packaged flavoring. Their website says to use anywhere from 15% to 40% flavoring which seems higher than what people are recommending for other suppliers flavor starting points.

OTOH maybe I shouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions, I've got a dozen other flavorings to try out and maybe I just bad lucked my way into the mildest ones, or maybe I'm using too much flavoring which I've read can taste like using too little? Or maybe I'm expecting too much from USC steeping (though I swear I tasted more on day 1 after 2 hours in the USC than I did after a week of shelf steeping). Too many variables! I think I should try the Spearmint next. I can smell that one even with the bottle capped, so I'm betting it will make me rethink all of this. :blush:


And just in case that wasn't rambly enough I'll leave you with this: Strawberry Shortcake is the freakin bomb, y'all. Fresh out the mailbox plus 30 minutes in the USC. It's a little bit on the candy side of strawberry (reminds me of a strawberry Italian Soda) and the cakey notes are still pretty subdued, but I can't wait to find out how it's going to taste after a proper steep!

I like strong flavor and get my MBV @ 80/20 +1 or 65/35 +2

I found the dozen or so flavors that I have from both FW & MBV to be the same concentration.

Everything I mixed from either is strong and tasty at 12.5% in 18mg 70/30 (75+ flavors)
The only thing I couldn't get and gave up on is Sweet Tart.
I tried 12.5, 15 & 18% then realized it was a waste of time for me and gave up.

I UC everything for at least 3-4 hours, caps off overnight and it sits for a few days before I try it.
It works for me.

Like you said maybe you're over flavoring it.

Are the Aro's about the same size as a T3S? Im looking to get something outta of pyrex a little bit portable then my protanks but want it to hold more then the Protank mini.

An awesome start to a Tuesday morning....

My MBV order was scheduled to be delivered yesterday however surprisingly my mailbox was empty when I got home from work :?: crud the mailman is runnin' late I guess. Anyway never got around to going back to the box last night, forgot, sidetracked or CRS, you pick ;) so as I started the car this morning I remembered :facepalm: and sure enough there it was :) So threw it in my work bag and headed on in...

Got settled in, coffee cup filled and decided to open my package Hawk Sauce, yup, cherry Limeade, check and... Berry Creamy, awesome my requested sample....

Thanks James very happy guy here :)

Back to work, fun time over :(

Today is my two month cigarette free anniversary! Nothing could make me stop smoking, not even spending a week in the hospital due to, literally, being unable to breathe. NOTHING could make me stop. I enjoy(ed) smoking cigarettes (yes as gross as it seems, it's the truth). I can't even remember now how I stumbled upon vaping. But, it's been a life changer. Is vaping annoying sometimes? Sure. Do I spend countless hours fiddling with my juice and pv's? Sure. But. I have not had a cigarette in 2 months. Vaping enabled me to finally quit smoking. So, HOORAY TO ME! Today I will nap since I worked all night, vape vape vape, eat sushi, and vape vape vape some more.
So I filled almost every tank I have (lol what on earth is wrong with me) and will enjoy:
Whipped cream
Moo Juice
Spurburry
Pink Champagne
Melon Baller with some WC!
and sorry mbv (if you only carried these flavors, I'd be buying them from you as well) and 3 Alushions juices.

I now have a supply of over 300 ml's of Whipped cream. That is clearly not enough. :)

Happy day friends!

Got the cinnamon red hot in 50/50, 18 mg/ml plus 2 shots.

This stuff is really harsh on the lungs. :( I wanted the taste of the cinnamon red hots candy, but I just can't inhale this stuff.

Does anyone know if it mellows with time?


I bought mine back in May, it is so strong but tastes so good. I later purchased an 8oz bottle of pg/vg to blend it down but haven't taken the time to do it yet. Shake that bottle well, it seems the hot stuff floats to the top! I love the taste but I cough like a banshee when I try to vape it LOL. My eyes water and the tip of my nose tingles. I got scared and put it away for awhile. I'll try it again soon and let you know if the extra pg/vg soothes it down to something vapable for me. No flavor shots for me either! :)
