so I think that I will let the carmel apple steep a little bit. right now it just tastes like apple. My local B&M suggested that put the bottle (with the cap on) in some hot water for about 25-30 seconds. would that be ok? or should I just let it sit with the cap off for a few hours?
Give this a shot....Let your tap water run very hot, fill something like a mug half way. Put your MBV bottle in a small plastic bag, and then put bag/bottle in the mug and let it sit there until the water cools to room temperature. If it were me, I would remove the cap and dripper tip from the bottle as well, but that is up to you. Shake the bottle vigorously before you fill anything to test it.

Putting a bottle in hot water for 30 seconds will not accomplish anything, IMO.

Ok, just got my shipment in the mail today...sooo excited. I ordered 5 flavors on Tuesday and it's already in my mailbox today = lightning speed shipping and they threw in a free sample of Menthol = sweet. I've read a lot about letting the flavors steep, but I couldn't wait so I filled up my Cartotank with the EctoCooler 80vg/20pg/18mg/+1 shot. It was great, just as advertised, tasted just like the drink. Since I'm new and don't have many tanks yet, I filled up my vivi nova tank with the Thug juice. I actually liked that one a lot...strawberries with a hint of menthol? Now I'm gonna let the other flavors steep until I get a couple more tanks. Can't wait to try the Butterscotch, Cinnamon Roll, and Blue Moo.

Just received my Monster, Thug Juice, Green Apple, and Strawbnade(flavor I made). All are 20PG 80VG 12% nicotine 2 extra shots. MBV also threw in a free 15ml of Menthol :D.

Monster is on point! I am really enjoying this flavor! Thug Juice is also yummy! Nice menthol kick to it! Green Apple is my usual to go flavor! Taste just like green apple jolly ranchers. The flavor I created is OK. I guess I'm just going to let all of them steep for now to see if the flavor improves.

*sob* no vape mail today.. blasted usps sent it to Destin.. from Pensacola.. then back to Pensacola as misdelivered.. then to my lil podunk town in the middle of today :( bummed big time.. last tank of cafe coffee.. half way vaped.

Got my credit card reward gift card, and placed an order for THREE DiY flavors.

Soother


SNIP

Amaretto Creme

3 Amaretto
2 Whipped Cream
1 White Chocolate

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

I love that last recipe.. I wonder, since Amaretto is a tank fogger (didn't crack mine.. but fogged the bejeeses out of one) if that dilution will handle tanks properly.

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! ;)

Right there with ya on max VG and not thrilled with fruity vapes - you're not alone :)

I plan to try it out in a "crack-resistant" CE4+ from Discount Vapors: DV eGo CE4+ Clearomizer - Smoke 2.4 Ohms - I will let you know how it works out.

Hey, I learned what you can do with you Maple-Bacon-Waffle flavor. Use you ultrasonic cleaner or crockpot for a lovely Sunday morning fragrance. Goes well with oatmeal. :blush:
I've said this on this thread before, but don't be tempted to mix Maple-Bacon-waffle. It doesn't work, even after steeping, lol.

Tucson, it's a dry heat
I'll have to try that - I just ordered the US cleaner the other day. I will need your assistance with getting the button to hold down longer than 8 minutes :)

I'm guessing you are clever enough to McGyver something to hold the button down. I'm lucky, my UC is on/off only (it's really old)

Mine is 8 min and no amount of tinkering will get it to go longer because you have to hit the time button multiple times to get it to 8 min, and the unit i have has to rest sides get real hot after 30 min
