i might OD-ing with Thug juice then ;D

i've been mixing small batches (5ml) at a time. I'll try going down instead of up. The more logical way should have been to start at 10% and move up 5% every time. I started at 20% because it was easy math wise, lol ~ 4ml pg/vg + 1ml flavor = 20%. Their website said try between 15%-40% but i dared not to go to the 40%.

Thanks for the feedback!

Wow, I've never actually read that 40% part on the website...it's a good thing too. I've used a few of their DIY flavorings, and so far they were all very good. The highest I've mixed them is 15%, but I have not used the Thug juice or Strawberry (so I can't help you there). I will say that when I'm DIYing a juice, I would question any flavor that I would have to use at 40%. I would rather vape nic than whatever mystery chemical that makes up the flavoring :)

I've mixed about 15 MBV Flavorings.
Almost all are strong (but not too strong) at 12.5% in 18mg 70/30 final mix
Strawberry is very strong (again but not too) at 13%

High VG will need higher % of flavoring but try 12%-13% if you're using 80/20 or 65/35

I tried a few at 15% but it was all hit & no flavor until I mixed it down to the 12-13 range

YMMV have fun

I almost completely agree with you...I only differ in that I think Hawk Sauce is a lot less candy-like than Thug Juice. To me, it's the TJ that is more candy in a Jolly Rancher kind of way :)

I wonder if there's a way to ask for less menthol in this.. Hmmmmmm =D

Got my latest order in. Thug Juice was vapable my completely meh at best. But it was expected as everyone says it needs to steep. My wife got the spearmint and it is a carbon copy of the gum, minimal TH at 50/50 18 though. She hasn't tried her Stawberry Kiwi yet. I have extremely high hopes for the Thug Juice. I'm hoping it becomes my all day vape. Going to give it a week and come back to it.


Weird thing happened with the order though. They usually ship same day or the next. Mine didn't after two days so I shot them an email and it shipped the day after that. The next day I get an email from some random dude. He received my order. He had placed an order the same day and they shipped both to him in different boxes. The shipping receipt inside had my info which is how he made contact but they shipped it to him. Not a good feeling when a random person gets you info, luckily it was a straight up person who was trying to make things right.

Scary! You should give James at MBV a heads-up on that.

Guys, I'm starting to think I should go into the juice mixing business. Or at least DIY.

Because although I've gotten a lot of juices I've liked ordering "off the menu" so to speak, just about everything I truly LOVE I've gotten using the MYO wizard. Even my fiance, who is not the easiest man to please flavor-wise, vapes more of the MYO juice I created for him that anything else.

(this post brought to you by the sheer bliss that is vaping my SugarPlum blend)

Recipe please...
:)

I'm using 50/50 so I guess I should lower the % of flavoring. I'll start with a 10% and see how that goes.

thanks for the feedback

It needs a lot of steeping. I got it at 18mg 80/20 +1

I gave it 2 months to decide I just don't like it :(

Def let James know. I know they have been hiring new people and mistakes can be made but they need to know the kind of mistakes. Don't worry about them wanting you to return that second order, they will let you keep it Im sure for their mistake.

Samples can and do get missed: I've placed same sized orders with MBV and one didn't receive a sample, one did. I chalk it up to high volume on their end and chose to be happy with the value and service I'm getting.

I ordered nothing but DIY flavors and cartos from them last week and receive my package yesterday. MBV shipped on time but the USPS decided to let my vapemail vacation in Virginia for the weekend and delivered 2 days late. Oh well, that's why we order before we're actually out, right? :) My no-juice order received a sample of Johnny Chimpo (I was rooting for Almond Delight!) and it's surprisingly vapable. I say surprisingly because I absolutely, positively HATE banana flavoring. Hate it. As in the scent of it almost always turns my stomach. Johnny Chimpo smells strongly of banana but the flavor is more rounded. Very hard to describe, but I almost get a hint of a liquor note in the background. Not the kind that indicates it needs to steep, but intentional. Almost rum-like. Interested to see what it turns into.

As for the DIY flavors, I ordered buttered pecan, sassafras, maraschino cherry, and wintergreen. I already have MBV DIY flavor for cinnamon roll, root beer, spearmint, extreme ice, and cotton candy. I'm looking forward to doing a side-by-side of sassafras and root beer :D

I got my order yesterday and they smell delicious!!! Ugh i dunno if i can let them steep for a week. The Dble Apple is calling my name bigtime so i brought it to work with me today. Im gonna see if i can resist the temptation to try it but i doubt it, lolol.

I got johnny chimpo 12mg 80/20 for a freebie. It smells ok. Ive always used 50/50 so itll be interesting to see how that vapes and tastes. If not ill hand it off to my mom who i got vaping a couple months ago after shes been on analogs for 50yrs.

Wish me luck, lolol

my ginger replacement arrived *happy dance*
this bottle is much thicker (max VG) than the original which is watery and when shaken.. no white cloud!
I could smell the ginger without opening the bottle.. yeah baby!

I had to drip.. could not resist.. very nice right from the mail box - not sweet, will benefit from steeping I think but just two drops in my atty was lovely and refreshing. I usually go for the candy/sweet/bakery creamy flavors but this one.. yum already

if I wasn't parked here in front of my screen for the moment.. I might have to nab the gingerale from the steeping closet to compare.. maybe in a bit...

How new are you to vaping? Your tastebuds may be dull (pretty common). That's why it's great that you can order hawk sauce w/ extra shots. You may need that. OR how old is your EVOD? Maybe its due for a dry burn or cleaning?

I'm vaping hawk sauce out of an evod right now. Taste is very faint. I like what i'm getting, but want more flavor. Is it usually a very gentle favor?

I've been vaping 5 days. I make a living off my palate though. Does it take awhile to develop a vaping palate?
Evod is a day old and on its 3rd fill.
