Hi KerryK! I've always found MBV to be a very reputable vendor and always so helpful with any questions or issues I've had.
I chatted with James just before Christmas regarding the BNB vs BGN. I wanted to order some juice for a new vaper as a gift. I remembered how good the banana nut bread juice was I had prior to my discovery of PG sensitivity. I was confused when I saw the two - both appearing to be varieties of banana nut bread. I asked James what the difference was and when was the change made, trying to determine which one I actually had tried. He mentioned the change was made in September (what day, I don't know), and then he described the color difference and the taste difference. Together, we decided what I had tried was the original, now called Bananas Gone Nuts. I did not think to ask why the recipe was changed.
Sometimes, flavoring vendors change their flavorings, so perhaps that is what happened. I know another vendor who is now discontinuing a very popular recipe because his flavor vendor changed the formulation on the cinnamon flavoring he always used in his recipe. If at some point in time he finds another cinnamon that works, he may bring that flavor back. Whether they find out before or after making and shipping their recipes, can vary. So, it's possible, at the time of your inquiry, they thought they had the same juice flavorings. You may want to speak directly with James about it. I'm sure he will do whatever he can to make things right.
