Honestly I'm pretty much up for anything. Only been vaping for about 3 months now, so I'm more than happy to try new flavors and ratios. So far though my favorite are fruity flavors with around 50/50, sometimes I go slightly higher PG or VG depending on my mood. Desert flavors are delicious, I just don't like them as much as ADVs. Still haven't tried any menthol or drink flavors. The reason I'm asking about custom blends is that while MBV is delicious, a lot of their flavors lack the complexity of some of the "gourmet" juices I've tried in friends vapes. I figure a flavor blend could be the solution, but I always make horrible decisions when it comes to stuff like this so I figured I'd ask you guys.

It's interesting how ones taste changes over time, I tried bakery type juices early into my vapin' and really didn't dig them. The tastes like something I should be chewin' flavors just didn't sit well with me then for some reason, now though Sticky Bun and Cinnamon Roll are a couple of my favorites 8-9 months later.

DIY might be somethin' you might want to look into, opens up a whole new world to possibilities. The mix your own option on the site I find odd to work with but I'm sure you could find a some interesting mixes givin' it a try :)

I am going to try and get close to 2 other vendors complex mixes on the make your flavor page. If I do mbv will have 100% of my juice purchases.

Thoughts on vanilla vs vanilla ice cream? I love vanilla ice cream in real life and I'm searching for a good creamy flavor to mix with my other juices.

I can only it speak for me personally, I like the French Vanilla over the Vanilla Ice Cream, to me it's more smoother and creamer,, which you would think it would be the other way around, but again, that's just my taste on those, I also like the Madagascar Vanilla but that one is stronger then the other 2 and has a bit more bite to it. Can't say anything about the Vanilla Custard though, I am sure others will be able to give you more of a recommendation.

Thanks dusty. I'm really looking to add the creaminess to flavors like orange dream and rainbow sherbet. Also the moos

hello there. Is this juice really that good or is it all about the price? I hear you have to wait 4 to 6 weeks to steep this juice. I could never wait that long to try a juice. I read so much about the price but what about the quality? Price means nothing if the quality is not there. I would like to know.

What kind of bite?

I use the French Vanilla to some of my Tobacco's and at times to my fruit flavors, I am just partial to the French Vanilla over the Vanilla Ice Cream, but again, this is just due to my palate. I also use the Madagascar but that one isn't creamy like the other 2.

I thought about that term after I had already posted it, not the right choice, by that I mean it's more intense then the others, at least for and again this is due to my needing my juices to be much stronger then most like them as my sinuses dull my sense of taste more then other peoples. It's just to me a stronger vanilla flavor and has kinda of a subtle rootbeerish type flavor, if that makes any sense.

If you are lucky enough to like it, then the price is a bonus. The flavors are not complex, but mixing Cinnamon Roll with Sticky Buns, or Graham Cracker with Peanut Butter make them so. Also, aging time is different for every liquid and person. Cinnamon Roll and Sticky Bun for me only require about 14 days.

And even boutique vendors like Nicoticket's stuff improve with some age on them. As my bottles of Creme Brulee and Custard's Last Stand have proven after two months.

I don't really get the elitism over liquids and never have, but then I also don't care. MBV's liquids are really good. Cinnamon Roll and Sticky Bun as well as Peanut Butter and Graham Cracker are both competing as my ADV right now.

For me the price isn't the issue, I am not going to vape a juice I don't like just to save money, and I don't know of anyone else in here that does that either, so it's about the juice and lower price is just a plus factor. Taste are very subjective however, this is why it is just so hard to tell someone that what they will or will not like. The only person that can make that decision is you and your preferences.

Typically the ones that make all the noise about the price are those that for whatever reason do not care for the juices and want to make them out to be a NOOB juice, which is utterly ridiculous and holds not merit or worth in the scheme of the juices.

It does and I also have sinus issues during certain times of the year. Oddly enough they started after I moved to Florida and have been with me ever since so I tend to like stronger flavors as well. :) Speaking of strong flavors I need to try my sample of Pumpkin Spice before I make my next order on Friday to see if it warrants a 50ml bottle.

You are pushing me towards the Madagascar Vanilla, I have a sample of the Vanilla Cupcake and while it is good there is something... Bright or light or something about it that throws it off some. It's hard to describe because when I taste that one I see an image of brightness (not unpleasant just different). Yes, I am weird.

I enjoy some of the "premium" juices out there. With MBV I have found juice just as good as what the premium vendors charge. You are not going to find Pluid, Sucker Punch or a few others like that but MBVs bakery flavors and other rival anything out there. All juice has to be steeped, with some of the premiums you are paying them to steep it for you. When you look at the price for DYI you start to realize some of e profits margins in there for this kind of stuff.

Good points to MBV

1. Awesome customer service.
2. Great pricing
3. Awesome quality
4. Great customization options.
5. Fast shipping.

I have not found a flavor yet that I thought I would like and didn't. Yes I have to steep them, I typically have a few hundred mil of various flavors I can vape from anyways and order before I need to.

It may turn out you are one of the few that do not care for mbv juice. In that case you have my sincere condolences.

I know what you mean, I also like the Vanilla Cupcake, it's also a great mixer. Due to the issue I have been having I was only able to get flavoring a while back and one of them is the Madagascar Vanilla, this is one that also needs a very long steep time similar to the time for the Tobacco's, the one I made needs about 1 more week, I had tested it last week and it wasn't ready but smells great now.

My Sinus issues were much worse in South Florida, I don't get near as many sinus infections up there in North Central Florida out on outskirts of town, I still get them but not as often and most times not as severe.
