My point exactly - had you not pointed that out, I wouldn't have noticed the Sort box. It needs to stand out for knuckleheads like me :laugh:

They have both options. Go to nicotene juice and there is a drop down box allowing you to sort by those options.

Don't feel bad, I posted the same thing in the "official" thread...to get the same answer from James and Opal :) It made me feel like a dummy. :laugh:

But really, who are the dummies? If it's getting lost on some customers, they need to s p e l l it out. You want to make yourself accessible to all, including the airheads (like me, lol.) It needs to be a stand out button. Especially because the customers who NEED to see it aren't on this thread or are noobs to MBV. They're the ones who would benefit the most from a button on the first page.

Just food for thought . . . from a marketing perspective.

Okay, I didn't see it either and I almost always use that feature on other places I buy things from. But then I didn't think about it for buying ejuice. Maybe because it is way up there when it should be closer to the product selection pictures.

New Arrivals is a button or link on many vendors sites, and I always LOVE being able to check that first everytime I visit a vendor!

So, even though there is a sort that can be used, it only applies to each category separately, it would be much easier if there was a "New Stuffts" button on the site (that encompasses all categories) for all us droolers :D

Am I the only one who can't taste nor really like the flavors I got from MBV? I mean don't get me wrong. They aren't BAD or anything, just dont care for them. Service was great, price was good. I have nothing bad to say about them, they just don't seem to be for me.

I order from them based on all the rave reviews in this thread and reviews of the juices on their site. Here is what I ordered:


Albino Drake E Juice Baker Vapor
(Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot: 2) -> Barely noticeable flavor. not enough to really tell what it is

Dream Tea E Juice Baker Vapor
(Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot: 2) -> Fruity menthol is best I can say. Again, can't really taste it

Freckled Lemonade E Juice Baker Vapor
(Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot: 2) -> This one I can taste best. Tastes like fresh squeezed sour lemonade. Almost lemon drop like

French Vanilla E Juice Baker Vapor
(Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot: 2) -> Can't taste a thing

Hawk Sauce E Juice Baker Vapor
(Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot: 2) -> My favorite of the bunch. Light Menthol with a hint of fruit

Rock Star E Juice Baker Vapor
(Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot: 2) -> Maybe I can tell it's rockstar? Again, barely noticable

So now I've got all these liquids and I hate looking at them because I've been TRYING to love them, but it's missed on me. Only flavors I seem to be able to taste are dark liquids like TV Burmanii and Aroma Darjim Black WTA

I feel like I'm missing something here

how long have you had them? Some juices need a month or more to develop. MBV juice is made to order - it's superfresh, meaning it needs to ripen.

Just to add to Teacher's reply (steeping is important)...
Are you a new vaper? I notice that you joined in May... If you are new, it takes time for your tastebuds to recover from being abused by analogs. Are you drinking lots of water? That can help with the drying effects of vaping, and it will help you taste better. I also used a tongue scraper, which really helped me. Additionally, I noticed that you got 2 additional shots with each juice. More shots does not necessarily mean that you will get more flavor out of the juices...too much flavoring can kill the flavor. I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but it is true. I also noticed that you liked the Lemonade (strong sour) and Hawk Sauce (mint/menthol). It might be that you should try some more sours and menthols and see if that is what works for you for now. You could look into Solar Flare, which is citrus and menthol. You could also try Extreme Ice (2 mints and menthol). Set the less impressive juices aside for another month and then try them again. I would bet that they will taste differently then. Good Luck :)

Steeping MBV juices needs at least 2 weeks minimum really, this mainly applies to the ones that for sure need a steep anyway.

Not all flavors need to steep though, and I haven't tried the ones you mentioned locque69, so I can't say for sure. But, if any of those do need steeping, you'll need to wait at least 2 weeks minimum, some may need a month or more as mentioned above. I doubt any of yours are in that latter group though, but I could be wrong, hopefully others who've tried them will chime in about steeping times on those flavors for you soon.

+ 2 flavor shots increases any steep time as well, so even if some say no steep needed for some of those flavors, that may only apply to zero shot mixes so keep that in mind too. I say set those aside for a few weeks, then after that try again before you make your final decision on them.

I have found that the flavors I think I won't like are the ones that become my favorite and everything I love (maybe it's because I know exactly what it should taste like) I can't vape. Although MBV's Pear is really good. Maybe I should try Hangsen's Hot Dog Juice. . . nope, just the thought makes me gag.

OMG reallly, Hot Dog Juice? UGH! Makes me think of the Limp Bizkit album "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water".

I want to try an apple flavor for my next order. Should I get green apple, caramel apple or Apple rings? There r so many flavors that are close together and it gets confusing.

Caramel apple.. It's delicious :)
Green apple is good too
Apple rings is like the gummy candy.. A little sour

I haven't tried most of the flavors in your photo, but Vanilla Ice in no way needs 2 weeks. :)

That's good to know. Thanks! I wasn't really sure how long any of these need to steep for, so i just figured a couple weeks would do the trick. This was my first order ever from MBV. I read somewhere that they are made to order, so I figured they would need to steep. Maybe I'll just drip a couple of them and see what happens. Thanks again for the info!

From what I understand, all of their tobaccos benefit from a minimum 2 week steep. Other flavors seems to vary greatly. I usually try "one-notes" within a day or two of getting them, and most haven't needed any more steeping (although Butterscotch got SERIOUSLY strong at +2 after two weeks). More complex flavors I *try* to leave for at least a week, sometimes longer.

I was thinking it could have been vapor tongue as well. I drink like 5 times the amount of water then I did before vaping. I've seriously never been to the water cooler at work so often. When I KNEW I had vape tongue, I vaped 3 protanks full of menthol and could then start tasting stuff again. Still can't say I'm over it yet.

Looking at my bottles and they were all made on 6/5/13 so it has been ALMOST a month. I'll take your advice and let them sit a little bit longer. I've tried in a tank, carto, clearo, higher wattage, lower wattage... I bet if I could just stop vaping for a day I might be able to taste things but can't seem to go 5 minutes without a vape :)
