Mini update:
I vaped Ecto Cooler and Root Beer each for a day, and they're awesome. They will definitely always be in my arsenal! I've sampled all the other flavors so far, and they're all really good as well... not a single dud in the whole lot! I don't taste any foreign chemicals or perfume, and all the flavors are really authentic.
Ecto Cooler - very citrusy, very refreshing. I taste stronger orange/tangerine notes, but it's a nice overall blend of citrus. I drank the hell out of Ecto Cooler when I was a kid, but unfortunately I can't recall exactly what it tastes like. Given it's name and flavor though, I was thrown back into childhood memories, and for that I'm thankful! lol! It also somewhat reminds me of citrus flavored Gatorades, but with stronger flavor. Awesome flavor!
Root Beer - at first, I thought maybe a little too sweet (my fault for adding 2 extra flavor shots to everything)... but no, it's perfect, and I LOVE this flavor. It reminds me most of root beer flavored water-ice, but "old fashioned root beer barrel" hits it right on the nose. It's not a creamy root beer (that's where the RB Float probably comes in), but a sweet root beer with a little bite to it. It's great!
Arnold Palmer - I taste the tea and I taste the lemonade, and together they are perfect! Someone else said it's like the instant mix with a little too much mix in there... and yup, that nails it. I'm a fan of powdered iced tea, so I think this is delicious! I may skip the flavor shots next time on it though. While it is very good, I'm thinking it might be a little more refreshing and a little less tart without the extra shots.
Pineapple Upside-down Cake - deeeelllllicious!!! It's like a fresh pineapple cake with a hint of maraschino, VERY tasty!! I can't wait to fill up a tank with this stuff... maybe tonight! I had a pina-colada flavor from another vendor, and I was expecting somewhat of the same candy flavored pineapple that I didn't care for... nope, no candy at all! Just warm fresh baked goodness!
Bananas Gone Nuts - I've tried a banana nut bread from another vendor, and this one is way better. Again, someone else said it's like James sliced off a piece, melted it down, and poured it into a bottle. I taste banana, nuts, and even the bread... and in a warm vape, it's like it just came out of the oven! Bread Winner would be an appropriate name for this juice, because it's full of win!
Strawberry Shortcake - Wow, I'm dripping this one right now and it's freakin delicious! I get fresh strawberries perfectly paired with fresh shortcake... sprinkled with that coating you see on strawberry shortcake ice-cream bars, and perhaps a slight creaminess (topped with whipped cream, maybe?). This is really, really good! ...takes another draw... WOW!!
Graham Cracker - Just what the name says! It's pretty darn good. I can easily vape this alone all day, and there might be days where I'd prefer it that way, but I really want to try this mixed with something... maybe a little key lime or chocolate or something. I'll have to have this with coffee one day, because it feels like it's be great with a cup! If you buy the crackers, you should definitely pick this up! Very accurate and good tasting juice!
Candy Bar - Tastes like powdered cocoa and peanuts. I'm not in love with it, but it's not bad... I don't get the urge to reach out for it yet. I'm gonna let this one steep for a few more days before I really make any comments.
Raspberry Marshmallow - my own creation, mixed 2 parts raspberry to 1 part marshmallow. I'm going to blame myself for this one. It's alright. The raspberry is a little medicinal and syrupy tasting. I don't taste the marshmallow (perhaps it will come out with steeping), but I'm thinking the raspberry would be even worse without it. I can't knock MBV for this in the slightest bit, well, since it's not an offered flavor, but my own abomination. I might give this another go with the opposite spectrum... something like 10 parts marshmallow to 2 parts raspberry. I'm thinking the raspberry might just be a strong flavor, and shouldn't be used in large amounts.
White Out - Hmmm... I've had this flavor before... it's minty, a little vanilla, a little anise... it's exactly like the old-timey black licorice pillow mints. Don't let the black licorice scare you though, it's very subtle and hugely complimentary. I don't think a person who dislikes black licorice would even be able to tell it's there, but the anise is definitely responsible for this unique flavor. It's very refreshing, and it has a cool vapor. I really really like it, but not something I'd vape on a regular rotation, but is something I'd always like to have in my collection, for sure! Probably just like pillow mints... I mean, they're great, but after a few handfuls, they just get to be too much, whereas I could suck on a root beer barrel all day. It's probably great for after a meal, and I'd probably take it with me to formal events. This flavor has class (if that makes sense, lol), and it makes my mouth feel really clean.
Mudslide - my free sample and a new offering from MBV. Yep, mudslide it is! I like the chocolate in this more than the Candy Bar, and I'd reach out for this over the candy bar. I like this one, but I'm thinking chocolate isn't a good vape for my tastes (although I love to eat it!). I would happily use this bottle up, even if I paid for it, but I don't think I'd reorder. I did discover, however, that Mudslide mixed with White Out is FREAKIN AMAZING!! It's the Andy's Mint flavor I've been wanting! Seriously delicious!
So yeah, I'm beyond happy with the flavors from MBV, and the prices make this vendor my go to now! Thank you James, for amazing products and the incredible service. I'll be ordering 10 more with my next paycheck! You are the bomb!!
Edit: So I guess that's not so mini... huh? lol!
