I think for my next order I'm going to throw in some Monkey Business..


Only had a small bottle of it & that was a while back.. I liked it.. want to give it another whirl...

:banana: Hurry up with that next sale! :banana:

Could you taste the banana? I'm having a tough time detecting it. Mine has steeped for about 2-3 weeks now and is dark brown in color.

Depends which flavors & how fresh/steeped the original batch is..

It could take up to a month or so...

I think one of the big problems people have with VCV is they don't give it enough time, try it FOOB and maybe a week later and are like nahhh this isn't for me. But they didn't even give it a chance to mature yet... :blink:

For me Harvest Berry, Straw Gwab, and Summer Sweet have been exceptions to that. The longer those steeped the harsher the throat hit got for us. Harvest Berry FOOB is really good. Steeped and yellow looking got too harsh for us. The desserts though, they keep getting better with age.

Barely tasted it in my 1 bottle..

It was like my 1st bottle of Mewlew's, in the sense that it was already fully steeped (probably at least a good 2 weeks) when I tried it straight from the mail..

My Monkey Biz was extreme chocolate & fudge overload on day 1 -- barely any banana -- and pretty dark in color..


Supposedly if you catch a fresh-enough batch, you can taste the banana a lot more early on..

Just one of those flavorings, I guess.. :(

MB is still really good, though.. :banana:

She speaketh! :D


And I agree..

Like seriously people, it's still CLEAR! It's mixed to order. Sheesh. I want to send samples of my personal stash to some of these folks then have them tell me there's no flavor. I even used to vape it in an evod as a new vaper and I could still taste it.

You know, I still haven't tried Strawb Gawb. I need to go ahead and do that. They sent me a 25% off coupon because it's been "so long" since I ordered. I just still have so much of their juice :blink:

Me too. Trying to get through some of it so I can try some of the other high VG offerings. Having almost the entire line in the house has been great but I have to get through it and weed it down to the favorites to free up some tanks.

Actually, I don't think they mix to order, per se, at least anymore..

I keep tabs on how busy they are, via order #'s.. They're just too big to reasonably do that at this point.. Especially now that it seems like they're getting heavier into the wholesale orders (to vape shops)...


I might be wrong, but I think what they do is keep a pretty fresh pre-mixed inventory on hand, made in batches, for most if not all of the nic levels.. Then as the orders come in, fill our smaller bottles from those..


I'd love to spend a day there.. Maybe we can try to organize a VCV field trip... :D

There's still 4 that I've yet to try..

Kind of bottom of the barrel for me.. :laugh:


Still might give 'em a whirl someday, anyway.. Might be surprised!

Haven't tried Ice, Burley, or Monkey Business. Hate bananas, never cared for menthols, and I don't vape much tobacco anyway.

From what I remember, Monkey Business was pretty close to Mewlew's & maybe Chocolate Pudding..

I think it was RuDawg who mentioned a while back that the banana fades pretty quickly, even when you're able to catch it early enough..


And that's another reason why I don't think they mix to order anymore.. There was way too much difference between my 1st & 2nd bottles of Mewlew's FOOB -- like, a 2-week steeping difference..

It's also why I think they removed the recommended steep times from their FAQ a while back..


As for your favorites you menitoned, it's weird, because you'll tend to always have your must-haves on hand.. But then every now & then you're like, you know what? I haven't had any _____ in a while.. I sort of miss it.. And it's going on my shopping list for the next order!

My first order arrived last night. Night Shift is awesome right out of the mailbox! If you don't know, it is a glazed chocolate donut coffee vape. When I opened the bottle I could smell mostly sweet coffee. The glazed donut is what comes through mostly for me when I vape this with lighter coffee and chocolate notes. This stuff is absolutely delicious! Next in line are Vanilla Custard and Candybar.

When I ordered from them they were in the middle of a move so the order took awhile to arrive. I knew it would and didn't mind. When it did, they had included 25ml of samples. Now that is good customer service! The sent a 10ml bottle of Strawb-Guab which smells wonderful and a 15ml bottle of Burley Beard which is a tobacco vape. I will probably PIF that one because I don't really don't like tobacco vapes.

Their juice is 100% vg so I wondered if the flavors were going to not come through but they really do. The throat hit is way stronger than I expected. In fact, the harsh TH is actually going to take some getting used to. It's not bad, just different. Since it isn't the PG it must be the nicotine which I know they make themselves. Anyone have thoughts on that?

Anyway....Very Happy Customer!

VG is actually what gives you more flavor and has a sweeter taste to it and pg is what gives you a throat hit. I've tried their Harvest Berry blend, in a tank the flavor was good, but not much throat hit at 24 mg, like most 100 VG liquids I've tried, but the 100 VG takes longer to saturate and can cause coil replacements quicker in a non-rebuildable tank, I also tried the 3 mg version for dripping, while good flavor in a tank didn't taste too good on an RDA with several builds between .19-.76.

Sure, I can see that. I'm trying to get it weeded down because there are so many things I want to try yet and I like to take them to work with me. Controlling the Mini Protank population around here has become a full time job :laugh:

I finally got a mech coupled with a Trident RDA, all my VCV juice is going fast now.

Ordered Campfire, Harvest Berry, Chocolate Pudding, and Caramel Swirl, I haven't tried any of these yet, so looking forward to them all!

Hello fellow Marylander! I love Harvest Berry :) It's probably my favorite..

Caramel Swirl. My best juice ever. I can vape it all day and never stop tasting it like so many other juices I've tried.
