I still have the bottle, and I really didn't care for it. It might be a matter of the fact I drink it every day....so even something similar but not the same isn't ok in my world. I LOATHE diet drinks, but seeing as I never drank any for years and started drinking diet energy drinks I was ok with the odd diet drink flavor because I never drank regular energy drinks.

I think I may know Mt dew a little TOO well, you know?
flavor isn't terrible, it just pisses me off that is not dew. the red soda is good, and I have maybe one of those a year.

Whats funny is AIV's mystic mandalime has a similar citrus to dew, doesn't TASTE like dew, but reminds me of dew...if that makes any sense at all?

OH i know what you mean. im too much a creature of habit so ill stay away from it then. Although i did just order some peach and dble apple. i usually only use orange. ive tried it from a couple different places. Im hoping from what ive read, mtbaker will be awesome!!

Tucson, it's a dry heat
Finally got the order in for the "big girl" bottle of Whipped Cream (the 50 ml, not ready for the "Big Daddy" yet!) I even ordered the flavor - gonna start entering into the world of DIY as soon as Wizard Labs decides I am worthy enough to process my order :sigh: I am spoiled by the speed of MBV.
 
So I got Whipped Cream, Strawberry Shortcake, and Caramel Coffee. They are only about a week old so I hope the flavors improve. All are 50/50, 18mg, with 2 flavor shots. The whipped cream is so so...I get the creamy, but not much else. Strawberry Shortcake tastes like soap to me, and caramel coffee is just like a really strong expresso, not getting any caramel.

Try mixing the caramel coffee with the whipped cream - IMO WC is a great mixer, not meant to be vaped alone.

I'm giving them a second shot. My first order of some menthol and 555 menthol I wasn't thrilled with. I found a great menthol with another vendor but I'm already burned out on it. Ordered some 50/50 18mg Thug juice and some 80/20 12mg Thug juice for me. Trying to knock down the nic and going to see if the higher PG will keep the TH. Ordered some of the spearment gum flavor and strawberry kiwi for the wife.

Also noticed they have a nice sale on EVODs right now but I'm up to my neck in them!
 
Got my credit card reward gift card, and placed an order for THREE DiY flavors.

Soother


2 Green Tea
2 Honey
1 Spearmint
1 Ginger

SugarPlum

3 Plum
2 Brown Sugar
1 Cinnamon

Amaretto Creme

3 Amaretto
2 Whipped Cream
1 White Chocolate

I'll let you know how they came out in a couple weeks.

MBV has cost me A LOT of money! I was satisfied with my little V2 e-cig and flavor cartridges. Then I got the liquimax and ventured into MBV for some other flavors. Well, my liquimax on my little V2 cig just doesn't do the snickers e juice justice. So now, I bought a VAMO just so I can vape all the of the MBV juices correctly. How did I stray so far...

Pear and Peach Rings are most likely going to become permanent staples of my vaping kit(50/50 PG/VG, 24mg)
Been on the Pear for around a week now, and even though the coil is showing it's age(darkening fluid, higher V needed), the flavor is still coming like a champ

If you like real pears, get MBVs Pear, it really does taste like you're vaping straight from one

Um well, you're really just getting started so you haven't strayed very far yet if you only have the V2 and a Vamo. I have collected much much more in a short period of time...it's embarrassing, and that does not include my juices or DIY supplies :facepalm:

So, you're not alone. Welcome to the club, pull up a chair :)

Man, I hate to kill everyones MBV buzz, but I have to give my honest opinion.

Shipment- I was so incredibly impressed with the shipment, I placed my order and literally 2 hours later had an email with a tracking number and everything. (Mind you, this was at 7p.m. on a Saturday.) ((Also hush, I know I don't have a life :( )) My package arrived 2 days later. So definitely a 10 on that aspect.

VTF- (This is the part where I'm gonna kill some people's good mood.) Oh my god. Just ew. The smell is the most rancid perfume-y weird candy smell ever, and I got this in "Fig" with a 20pg/80vg and 2 extra flavor shots. Put it in my T3 and tried it at different voltages. Vapor- Amazing vapor. Gotta give it a 10 for that. TH- non existent, which didn't bother me. Flavor- Just as rank as the smell. I don't see how this is even remotely close to a fig. And I've been steeping this for quite some time.

Overall opinion on this company; Awesome customer service and shipping times. Really great prices, but with everything; you get what you pay for. Also, I'm not sure how true this is, but I heard MBV uses a powdered nicotine that they rehydrate with PG (the cheap nicotine from china) So it affects the taste and you never REALLY know what strength you're actually getting....

Keep in mind, I only tried this one single flavor, also, I might have ordered one too many flavor shots. Not going to lie, I'll probably still order some sample sizes just so I can see if I like some other stuff.

But so far, just... eh.

Say whaaaat?? A fruit flavor with 80% VG and double the flavor shots? No wonder it didn't taste anything like the original fruit by the time you got it.

I've been told that, in general, fruits do better with more to slightly more PG, and bakery flavors with more to slightly more VG. (This was from Wlad at Ahlusion but I'd gotten a similar impression in all my studying and reading.) This is because the VG itself is fairly sweet so it enhances the sweetness of a particular juice. Now you take a flavor like Fig, the juice which I've already heard is pretty sweet on it's own, make it 80% VG and then add 2 extra shots on top of that, and I could've almost guaranteed you it'd be unvapeable. Sorry! :(

Now if you've got a PG allergy, I can understand ordering your juice this way, but just keep in mind that ordering a simple fruit flavor in an 20/80 VG/PG mix is going to alter seriously alter the taste of the fruit (and the +2 flavor shots on top of it only makes that worse). And also this wouldn't be so bad with bakery flavors which do actually benefit from a higher VG. HTH

So I got Whipped Cream, Strawberry Shortcake, and Caramel Coffee. They are only about a week old so I hope the flavors improve. All are 50/50, 18mg, with 2 flavor shots. The whipped cream is so so...I get the creamy, but not much else. Strawberry Shortcake tastes like soap to me, and caramel coffee is just like a really strong expresso, not getting any caramel.

Really? What is up with all you people and the +2 shots on your first order of a juice? I'd suggest to maybe start with 1 if your crave strong flavor or you're not getting the default 80/20 PG/VG mix, and then only step up to 2 on your second order if you decide it needs a bit more flavor. IMHO, you're ruining the juice by getting it with +2 right from the start as you're not going to experience what it was really supposed to taste like, and if anything, the artificial taste of some of the flavorings is going to be even more pronounced instead of well-blended.



Sorry for the rant, but I felt the need to educate today. LOL *steps down off soapbox* :2c:

I agree that +2 shots of a fruit flavor plus VG is going to make things sweeter than you might intend, but thought I'd give some feedback from someone who generally goes as close to 100% VG as possible. I find that PG dries me out badly, even when I am drinking a lot of water when vaping. I don't think I am allergic to PG, I just don't like a lot of it in my juice. I also don't like a lot of throat hit, another reason I avoid PG. VG doesn't dry me out nearly as much, and is smoother on my throat. I also like the sweetness VG imparts on almost any flavor.

I find I usually add a couple of extra flavor "drops" if possible when I order as I find the VG mutes the flavor a bit and the extra shots correct for that.

All that being said, I also don't tend to like fruit flavors, so maybe that is why it all works for me! ;)

I received my caramel apple 4 or 5 days ago and have been letting it steep, caps off, shaking it etc. The taste is unbearable..I was expecting this to be a terrific flavor but it tastes like straight perfume. Does it usually take this long to steep Caramel Apple so that the taste has at least some enjoyment?

Weird. Caramel apple is one of my favorites. Tastes just like those suckers I used to get when I was a kid.

Live and learn. Not every mix will be a winner for everybody or there would only be one vendor selling the nectar of the gods. Buy small and then dive in big time if you find a winner. If you don't find a great one then there are many other vendors to explore. :D

Why don't you just ask them instead of spreading hearsay that has no basis in fact imo?
