I concur! I thought I'd be all right with two to start out but PFFFFT! NOPE! :/

2 IS fine to start, but after you place your first juice order...not so much. I posted this a few pages back, but look at the http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/pay-forward-pif/85781-deals-steals-988.html thread in the Pay It Forward section. You might find some things at a discount there

2 clearos simply is not enough

Yeah, I've been picking up one for every flavor. I don't like the residue and no matter what I soak it in (tried vodka, yes), I still get a slight weird flavor. It could be mental - heck, it probably is, but whatever... LOL, I stick to one clearo per flavor so far... *shrug*

I totally agree with this. Some flavors I can get out with Vodka but some are just never gonna come out.

Whose got the best prices on clearo's?

Anyone tried their peach flavor? I'm about to order some, I tried some peach flavor at a local store and it was god awful.

They have a good peach juice. Just be sure not to get extra shots.

Some flavors are difficult to remove from the wicks. Coffee in particular is really difficult. You can eventually vape through it most of the time if you can't get it out with vodka. I've had some luck with multiple vodka soakings for some tough flavors. I've also had luck with running a full clearo of plain PG (put it in the clearo and vape the whole thing without inhaling). There are several other techniques. Some also buy clearos with replaceable heads, this is probably easiest.

This is a loaded question. It really depends on what device(s) you prefer to use, and how long you want to wait for it/them. Aside from the Deals&Steals, you can check out Vapor Joe's page and the Coupon Code section of ECF. Google is also your friend in this area

I love it. Peach is my thang though. It has the flavor of a fresh peach mixed with a candy (jolly rancher type) peach. Very good. Does NOT need any extra flavor shots.

Wonder if one can pay MVB to steep it & then ship it! I am not so good at being patient whilst things steep.....

 

[jaamzhow]

The bottles I received today are full full full.

I bet they'll steep faster if you split it into two bottles and leave them open. More surface area for air to contact.

Mine are all open and sitting in a pan of hot water. I'm shaking the bottles and reheating the h2o about every half hour.


Great avatar BTW!

I think the purpose of steeping is so the various flavor additives can combine with each other to make a unified flavor. I could be wrong but, if you have a one flavor juice, ie. Peach, steeping doesn't improve it. Also, again I might be wrong, but leaving open to the air will evaporate away the pg part which is like alcohol. Open air doesn't enhance the combining of flavor particles.

Yes, part of the purpose of steeping is to let the flavors blend and meld into a single, unified flavor. A single flavor can need steeping, especially if the "Peach" is created with more than one peach flavoring. Oxidation is also a part of steeping, which is one reason to steep part of the time with the cap off. A small amount of evaporation will happen, but if you look at the 15ml bottle you will notice that the neck is small enough that your juice will not evaporate away.
There are different steeping methods and people who swear by each of them. Almost all of them involve 3 things: time, shaking/mixing, and oxidation.

So if what I order needs to steep and it takes a week for it to arrive I figure that would be a weeks worth of steeping. Yes?

Well said, I agree peach is usually very perfume y and needs some time. I found cap of four a day or less help in the short term, but if you are gonna step for a few weeks, then the evaluation limits how good it will blend. Just my opinion, and not with MBV juice cuz i just got my order today.

You're probably close enough to me that I could say it won't take a week to get to you I still need to steep many of the flavors I order from MBV when they arrive. I can name a few that I like to vape straight from the mailbox, but these are my personal tastes and might not work for you: Root Beer, White Out, Solar Flare, Hawk Sauce, Key Lime, and Thug Juice. (Some of these are not clearo-friendly, though)

I recently discovered that sticky bun mixed with cheesecake tastes exactly like a cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting... it's amazing

That sounds awesome! I haven't tried the cheese cake. Is it any good by itself, or is it more of a mixer?

Unless you live outside the United States you will probably get your order in under 3 days. I usually let mine sit for at least 2 weeks. Once you get the flavors you like the best thing to do is try to get an order ahead so it will have plenty of time to steep,

Has anyone had any experience with Razzleberry? I have let it sit for over 2 weeks and it still tastes bitter to me.

You're gonna need a lot more than that. Especially if you become an MBV fiend like the rest of us.

I like to make my own tanks out of DCT cartos and 20ml syringes. The syringes are cheap online and the cartos are... well, you can see the prices on those on a variety of sites. They end up costing about $2-$2.25 a tank, including the price of the carto. Here's the video I watched to learn how to make them.

From Washington to Georgia only took two days, which is impressive. I like a two week steep, plus the few days in transit. I know I've been beating people over the head with this, but I found better flavor when the juice goes straight into glass. Blue glass droppers for me, from specialty bottle.

It's good by itself, but nothing I personally can vape more than a few drops of at a time. It's VERY cheesey (in a good way). I mostly use it to mix, but a few days a week (mostly after dinner) I'll sit and vape it straight for a little while. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who likes cheesecake.... I .......ing LOVE cheesecake

That's a good idea. I think the bigger part is that I just don't want to fuss with it. Using an analog is "easy" and this has to stay easy for me to stick with it. I have a variety of clearos coming in tomorrow so I can try 'em out and figure out what I like. Right now, I just rubber band the clearo to the bottle of flavor it goes with so I don't mix it up. I figure it's too much of a pain the .... otherwise and I'd likely just throw them all in a drawer and give up. So, yeah... don't wanna do that.

Okay, I SWEAR I've searched and googled, but... how are you double quoting in one message? I end up posting serial messages instead of putting into just one... I swear, I have spent a good amount of time on forums, but never not been able to figure it out... tell me the secret old wise stone faced one...

cool, I know the candy cinnamon does figured the cinnamon roll might. I may just have to play it safe and just use glass

I specifically asked about Cinnamon Roll (talked w/Josh) and was told it is NOT a tank cracker, but Cinnamon, Cinnamon Red Hot, and Cinnamon Hot Tamale are on the list.
