I am not defending any particular company, but the extra flavor shots aren't always meant to simply add more flavor. If you ever try DIY, you will understand that typically adding more flavor, actually lessens the flavor that you taste, or simply makes it worse. The extra shots are intended more for people that want to blend their juice after they receive it. ie: someone orders a 15ml bottle of grape with double the flavor, in 18mg strength, they add 15ml of vg, now they have 30ml of grape with the usual flavor percentage in 9mg strength. It is a way to save money, gradually work down nic levels, etc etc.

i'm ordering from nicoticket next because of reviews on this site, but i share some of your questions
is nicoticket worth $5 more per 30ml? are the flavors that much better? it's the same reason i never bought some of these more expensive juice....my buddy swears by the more expensive juices and claims mbv is awful so i'm going to dabble here or there to see if i can tell a huge difference
but for example: Betelgeuse blends 4 fruit flavors - Raspberry, Mango, Pineapple, and Strawberry.....i can buy a 30ml of each flavor from mbv and have 120ml to mix my own flavor if i wanted to, time will tell i suppose
I got tired of all the hit and miss juices I was trying from companies that had a multitude of flavors to choose from. 95% of those have been horrible. Then I found Nicoticket and I have not had a single juice that I wouldn't reorder over and over. I will take quality over quantity any day. Clark doesn't release any juice unless he is sure of the quality! I might pay alittle more per ml vs other vendors, but I use to feel like my vape money was most often wasted. Not anymore! Every bottle of my Nicoticket juice is used right down to the last drop. It really is that good! Yes, you need to set some of it aside for it to age, but it's worth it.
I'm a watermelon fanatic and I missed Queen of Hearts. 
If you see an appealing flavor on their website, pull the trigger!!

Trust me, it's not that simple. These flavors all require certain percentages, and different levels depending on what they are mixed with. These recipes are quite a bit more complex than just "mix this with that and ta-da!"
I don't understand the rage myself. I have had 5 flavors from Nicoticket, 3 (GCD, Root Beer Float & Wakonda) were good (I gave them 4 stars), 1 (Gravity) was awful (2 stars) and 1 (CLS) was so weakly flavored it got 3 stars. I still have 2 (Apricot Ambition & H1N1) I've yet to try. The problem I have is all this talk about buy some try it and let it steep for 6 months then it's amazing! Personally I don't want to wait 6 months for anything to become amazing. I think that alot of the buzz is because Kent is a nice guy and runs his company well. People always mention "Kent's a great guy" "Kent's the man" etc etc. This is my opinion and I know that it is unpopular.
I have ordered from both and I can confirm, like others have said, that Nicoticket's juices tend to be a little more complex than MBV's. That being said MBV is still my goto for normal everyday stuff, and the GWAR line Like others have said,try ordering from Nicoticket, some of the blends like custard's last stand are available in MX VG with zero nic, and if you have nic already at home just had some and you will be good to go.

UGH, is this true? Maybe this explains why my EC Blends double extra shot plus sweetened juice that's been steeping for over a month tastes like NOTHING. I'm so disappointed. Kept waiting and waiting, trying and trying, and 1/3 of the bottle gone later, I might use it to mix with another like flavor.
But back to topic: My first bottle of CLS has been with me for a week...it has gotten gradually darker, but I am SO anxious to try it and love it! I don't want to have to wait a month
You should try it right now. Seriously. If you don't, you won't know if steeping was even necessary. You might find that you like it best when it's fresh. Or not but it's the only way to know for sure.
I'm new and haven't tried a lot of vendors or flavors yet.
That said...H1N1, CLS and Betelguese out of the box taste SO AMAZING to me that I KNOW I'll be reordering them. Probably massive stock of the Virus. I'll branch out to some other vendors (waiting on an AiV sampler pack), but I can't imagine being happier than I am with these. Let alone they haven't steeped...at all.

Don't wait on the CLS!!!! Go ahead and load it up and try it! I try all the Nicoticket juices FOOB and love seeing how they change over time. You will love it now and a month from now! If I really like one, like Frenilla or Wakonda, I buy 2 bottles, one to enjoy fresh and one to steep! So I say hit it now!
Chillcat how do you get one of those signatures that counts your days without tobacco? I'd love to do that just as a constant reminder to myself that I'm doing well.
not saying your wrong...but i have a hard time believeing it's some crazy process to find the "special blend" to make the juice just right, i'm half tempted to order each flavor mentioned in the nicoticket write up from mbv during the 4th sale along with betelgeuse and compare my mixture vs theirs
my guess is someone threw different fruits together and was like this is good, lets recreate it...ok this is good, lets go with it
Go to the Nicoticket web site! Sign up and go to success banner! I think Clark is still doing a get a free bottle when you get a banner!!!! Please come join us at the Nicoticket family! You won't ever find a better group! Will be looking for ya!!!!
I'll definitely do that, free bottle or no! thanks guys! I looked for the NT family but not very hard so Ill look again in a minute--I believe ya!
NIcoticket imo is one of the better vendors. I'm pretty picky, and don't like all of a vendors choices and that holds true for NT. I happen to not like NT's CLS and not a big fan of gravity which tastes like Hi Ci to me. But I vaped H1N1 faster than any other juice I've ever had and Grap3 Ap3 even faster. GCD is up there and I'm hoping Wakonda starts aging into something better than it is but it's good right now, just not great.
Yeah, H1N1 is unbelievable. My ADV if nothing else! (seeing if new siggy works)
I had tried a couple of hundred juices before finding Nicoticket. Now I find myself stock piling Kent and Katy's juices on a regular basis.
Never once have I had a bad one and most only improve with age. Flat out clean flavors every time with quality beyond reproach.
Nicoticket and Bryce's are my go to's every day now. These are two of most more personable providers that one can ask for. You are not just a customer but more like a member of a family.
I now have a large stash of other juices that don't get that much attention anymore.
Brought you by a self proclaimed juice ..........

I actually like it when vendors have a smaller amount of flavors. It makes me think they spent more time developing the ones they have and that those flavors are much better for it. This isn't necessarily true, of course. Just the way I think. Anyone else feel this way, regardless of the fact it's probably not true?
