I think the reviews a few pages back.. could the the other mt baker thread.. had both sticky bun and cinn roll. I haven't had the cin roll yet but the sticky bun is that morning sweet roll dripping with maple frosting sort of bakery flavor.. yes. there is cinnamon but it's not over powering. I have it in 12 mg and no nic.. no extra shots and unless I wanted to put it in a carto.. the flavor level is just right for me.
Extra shots.. for me.. are too much unless in a carto... the couple I've gotten with extra shots - even after a LONG steep were just too much - esp the whipped cream. Wait.. candy cane with one extra shot in 12 mg is OK - and I use all (max) VG juice.

What have you successfully mixed it with? I hadn't even thought of that -- I mix mint into various fruit liquids, and I mix fruit liquids themselves, and I'll put vanilla into coffees and chocolates, but I'd never considered MBV 555 for mixing!


I have mixed it with a peach / virginia fire cured tobacco / spearmint mix... and it really added the caramel-type richness and depth it needed to round it out. I've added it to the Butterscotch; again, for a richer flavor. I've also mixed it with a ruby red grapefruit / vanilla ice mix.

I'm a nut, I mix a lot of my juices together. :)

I haven't used a top coil clearomizer before and was wondering if any of you use one with the MBV juices that really do them justice? I mainly use a Smoktech DCT Tank with DC Carto LR. I really like a warm vape best. Thanks for any info on pairings of juice with equipment.
:toast:

Was puffing MBV Vanilla Cupcake 80/20 18 +1 in a knockoff mini nova while hiking today.
Tooting some MBV Mocha right now through same said unit.
It works great and gives good flavor and vapor.

I'm using an iClear30 to vape some 12mg MBV White Tea also.
It gives great flavor and it's not sloppy unless I overfill it.

The bottom fed Protank works flawlessly but is an airy vape.
Flavor seems somewhat muted because it's cool vape but unless I want my face blasted off it's fine.

Thank you so much, that is very helpful info. I appreciate it. Mother's Day is coming and Momma doesn't want a new pair of shoes.. she wants a few new PVs! hehe :)

Thanks for the ideas! You're more daring than I have been, but that could easily change!

In fact, I've been trying out MBV 555 mixed with MBV Red Apple (10:2) and it's delicious. I mean, really delicious. I'm still fiddling with the exact proportions, as the apple is a very intense flavor -- when I mixed them 10:4 I couldn't taste the 555 very much. I may even go down to 10:1 to get just a subtle apple hint.

Mmmm! That sounds really good. Now I'm going to have to add Red Apple to my list. :thumb:

to my taste buds, the sticky bun is similar to the cinnamon roll but without so much cinnamon taste, more of a sweet roll taste. as i said above, it's a milder flavor too so it you want a little extra kick, order an extra flavor shot or two :)

I am finding out that all MBV flavors are very mild for me so far. With the order I received last week I had two shots with the Cin. Roll and probably could have used a couple more. So I am sure I will need max shots for Sticky Bun, but if it's half as good as Cin. Roll it should be alright. On a side note I added four shots to Hawk Sauce and three shots to Sour Yum, and they hardly have any taste. It must be that my taste buds are still dead. I hope they get stronger as they age a bit more.

Thank you Opal for your feedback as well. It's good to hear there is at least a little cinnamon in there.

You're not too terribly far from vaping flavoring with a bit of nicotine added to it!

Yes, I exaggerate a bit, but my point is that your case is pretty extreme. Do you have allergies, or a spend a lot of time with a stuffy nose? I ask because most of what we think of as taste (everything except salty, sweet, bitter, sour and umami) is actually smell.

Good points!! Tyranny, you might want to switch to a plain menthol or Extreme Ice for a little while, something strong that will break through your taste block for a couple of weeks but still be fairly plain. Then, try to go back to more complex flavors once your buds have adjusted. It might not be your first flavor choice, but it might get you through the transition... 4 flavor shots is quite a lot of flavoring.

Yes I do have constant allergies, (stuffy or runny nose). Menthol, Cinnamon, and Ice flavors seems to be all I can pick up at this point. In fact I smoked full flavored menthols for over 20 years, and contribute that to my lack of taste to this point. But the allergy point is well taken also. Funny I can still taste/smell most any food that I eat though :?:.

Every night before I go to bed and when I get up, I start with straight menthol just to jump start my tastebuds.

Remember that these things are very relative -- I believe I can taste and smell food normally, too, but I suspect that other people are WAY more sensitive than me, since I use about five times more spices than anyone I know. I've actually had people politely refuse to eat food I've made after a couple bites because it was so spicy they couldn't deal with it... and yet to me, it was just "well seasoned" and very, very far from painfully hot. LOL!

Whenever my stuffy nose kicks in I literally can't smell or taste a dam thing. Especially my feet (smell of course... :p ). My fiancé can smell it from the other room and I'm just over here like "What's wrong babe?" Lol

My first order from mbv I got 1 extra shot in everything I got. Everything was real spot on as far as flavor goes. Will probably continue to get 1 shot in everything

Should be getting more juice today! The banana nut bread is just about gone and the vanilla cupcake is steeping. Todays order should be banana gone nuts, Moo juice and sticky buns. I don't remember if I ordered 3 or 4 though, haha. Oh, the vanilla cupcake is getting sweeter with steeping, the cinnamon is definately settling.

well, ya know dear, all those stinkies you smoked over the years made your taste buds turn to little zombies.. hopefully after a few more weeks they will start to reawaken. :)

The actual Ruby Red Grapefruit juice (the kind you drink) makes a huge difference for me when it comes to flavor. It helped my transition from cigs to vaping. It helps if I stop tasting a certain flavor. I usually have a glass or bottle nearby in case I need it. It cleanses my palate and makes my tastebuds all perky and ready to taste TEH FLAVORS! hehe
