Yay! Got my package delivered at work this afternoon from MBV. Good delivery time, ordered Monday afternoon, 3 days to central FL, they don't waste time getting packages out.

Got myself an MVP2 and juice. I ordered hazelnut, vanilla tobacco, oranges and cream and moo juice- plus they sent me a 15 ml sample of hawk sauce and a 30ml of boysenberry! So far LOVING the MVP, what a huge step up from the non-vv ego I've been using.

I put my EVOD on (had to adjust the center pin on the coil down a bit to get it to fire, it hits the threads for the beauty ring thing and won't screw down far enough) with a blue raspberry/guava/mint concoction I've been vaping, set it to 8w and WOW, what a flavor increase with a couple more watts driving the coil...

I'm not 100% sold on the iclear30 it came with, but that may just be the sweet juice I put in it. I think I may like the warmer vape on more savory/tobacco flavors (actually thinking I need to try a banana nut bread in this thing...) I'm going to order a few different clearos and maybe a carto tank in the near future to see if I can find one I REALLY like.

Only MBV juice I've tried so far is the moo juice, a little perfumy, will let it steep a bit before I make any judgments. The rest do smell pretty good, better for sure than the stuff I've been getting locally. I'm told I should let the hazelnut and especially the vanilla tobacco steep for a few weeks before I use them, anyone have steeping recommendations for the other flavors?

Overall, I think it was a great way to spend $72 and change. The ego and EVODs took me from over a pad to 3-4 cigs, I think this may be the push I needed to put the analogs down for good.

Don't put the eVod on the MVP with the beauty ring on. Take the beauty ring off, then screw on the eVod.
Not only would you not need to mess with the pin, but eGo threaded tanks might not be able to screw off the way you'd like under the beauty ring (you would have to unscrew via the tank itself, thus unscrewing the tank from the base). And then, you're left with an MVP covered in juice.

I have found MBV juices really need to steep. For a week at least. I have tried quite a few flavors and so far only one has reached a level of "vape-able" after a week or so. I just keep steepin...Mine are mostly all vanilla or coffee. The vanilla nearly killed me after a 2 day steep...so give it a while :)

I liked the orange & cream, but the creaminess didn't really come out for me till about a week in. I vaped it all along (I have no patience for steeping), but definitely got better after a week. Enjoy the MVP, I was very happy with the original, thing was a tank, and the days of charge time is fantastic. Lent mine to a friend whose ego died, and despite enjoying my other mods I find myself looking forward to getting it back.

Ironically....I JUST finished my FIRST DIY.....Vanilla!!! (10% TFA)....I'm planning to "check" it every couple of days....but I'm letting it steep at LEAST a week before sampling!!!;)
I've noticed my Cuban Coffee from Hurricane Vapor is more "mellow" after sitting for about 2 weeks...But I have to admit, I liked it right out of the mailbox!!!!:D

ive recently started doing the hot water steep (shaking bottle and letting sit capless in water that was microwaved for 2 minutes until juice bottle gets back down to room temp which can be several hours depending on your room temp) and side by side with my car glovebox and drawer steeped juices i cant tell the difference. In the case of the strong fruity flavors i get from MBV they actually tasted better than the "over time" steeped ones.

vanilla, mocha and sweet based flavors tend to get muted if you use the above tactic. i still let those sit in my drawer with the nipples on them and breath them everyday or so.

No idea on tobacco flavors as ive long moved past those a few years ago.

EVOD went on without the beauty ring. It was hitting the top of the threads the beauty ring screws onto...

Thanks all for the steeping advice! I'll try the hot water steep on the fruity ones and let the others sit in the closet.

ahh vapemail. Such a nice little thing to have. Thats almost a draw back to getting a device, delivery system and establishing a few ADVs, you end up getting less tape mail. I still try new things all the time, but it's not like it used to be with vapemail on the way always.

If you can try their dream tea. It's only on wishlist status right now but it's one of my favorites from MBV.
