Imagine a hint of sweet, refreshing melon, marinated in paint thinner and vaped from a Sharpie marker. Yeah.

It gets a 2 instead of a 1 because it does have a hint of something good in there...unfortunately it's only a hint. Sorry MBV, I still love ya but this one's a Honey-DON'T.

Straight from the mail, this is a sweeter licorice reminiscent of Good n Plenty. After about a week it settles into a strong, rich black licorice with just the right mix of a little sweetness and a little bite. Throat hit is slightly above average at 12mg 65/35 in an aerotank on MVP2 at 9.0 watts, vapor is average. I initially ordered this as a change of pace but it's quickly becoming an ADV. I get no flavor shots, it doesn't need them.

I wanted to fall in love with this juice. Pineapple upside down? Oh yes!

I've been sampling this for about 5 weeks now. It's a very pleasant pineapple flavor. But the pineapple completely overwhelms the cake.

The pineapple is good and finishing the bottle is no great hardship, but the balance is too far off to rate it highly.

When I first tried this straight from the mail it was underwhelming. But after about 3 weeks it really came together.

The blueberry is sweeter than a fresh fruit flavor, it reminds me of the Jiffy blueberry muffin batter. To me, quite enjoyable. It blends with a creamy, bakery flavor with a slight twang...at times a bit like a yogurt, at others like a blueberry muffin or donut with cream cheese icing. There is a subtle but definite cheesecake note here. TH is average, excellent vapor production.

I'm now on my fourth bottle and properly steeped, all has been consistent.

65/35 12mg one flavor shot, vaped on a variety of gear and performs well in a basic evod/ego setup or on different rigs at lower voltage/wattage. Good juice for a beginner with basic equipment if you can afford to let it steep!

Edited: Steep time was 3 weeks, not two.

This is a new vendor just venturing into the online business, and keeping that in mind now that I've received my first order I can say so far, so good. Shipping is slow, with orders taking at least a week (or two) to process and get out the door. There are a few minor glitches to be worked out on the website. But communication and support is pretty good for such a small, new supplier, keeping reasonable expectations in mind. There's a lot of variety available, mostly simple flavors. Nothing too fancy happening here.

Prices are almost too low to believe, currently at just over $2 (no that's not a typo) for 12ml. Juices are made to order and pg/vg ratio and nic content are customizable plus additional flavor shots are available for a small fee. Sample pack is just as amazingly priced and you can choose your own flavors. Free shipping over $30. My order was large and all was accurate, a plus. The free sample at these prices was unexpected and a good touch.

All that said, the juice is still steeping and not yet tasted. Does it perform above its price point? Stay tuned. But my experience with them as a vendor other than the order backlog was good.

(edited for typos)

I ordered this because I'm such a fan of their Pure Blueberry juice and thought I'd give it a try. I have to say, all the flavors are there and individually very well done. It features a very nice cinnamon kissed white cake that reminds me strongly of a good cinnamon coffee cake. (If they offered that on its own I'd buy it!) The blueberry is a pure, natural tart berry that takes a noticeable but subtle background position with just a hint of sweet icing finish. But for my personal taste, it didn't hang together. The berry is beautiful but just a bit too tart to blend well with the sweetness of the cake. Still enjoyable and I'll definitely finish the bottle but not quite to my taste, however if you like contrasting flavors this may be perfect for you.

I just have to give this juice a shout out. Yes, it's a simple single note flavor. But I love blueberry and so many of the blueberry juices out there taste like candy, flowers or pie filling. Not necessarily bad, but not like eating a fresh berry.

This is just what it says, a pure, natural, authentic tart blueberry. In fact if you've become accustomed to the "average" blueberry juice like I have it takes about a half a tank to really get accustomed to the difference. But then I didn't want to put it down. Like, ever.

Vapor is good, TH is negligible at 12mg. But flavor...spot on. Highly recommended for blueberry lovers!

With some of MBV's juices the equipment doesn't make a tremendous difference, with some it does. This is one where it does.

I received this as a free sample in 80/20 12mg no shots. The pg ratio is higher than I prefer and so I find the TH a bit harsh for my taste, but I found it to still have good vapor production and be plenty flavorful (and a great approximation of cotton candy too) at a voltage range about 4.3-4.5. On a basic eGo-T/Evod setup which operates in a 3.7-3.8 volt range....not much flavor. I'm liking it. But I wouldn't recommend this if you don't have a variable voltage device you can crank up. I would rate this higher than a 7 if it were a little less picky.

As it is, I'm working steadily through my sample and plan to reorder at my usual pg/vg level with possibly one shot to make up for the change.

This is a tough one for me, because I really want to like it. The flavor is almost but not quite really nice, it's missing something. A bit of cinnamon sugar is what comes to mind. It has that nice lightly sweet honey graham taste and is pleasant but could be that little bit better and really shine.

Vapor production is poor at 65/35 and TH is very weak. I've been using it as a mixer, it adds a nice graham cracker crust flavor to "pie filling" flavors like key lime and is also good mixed into cinnamon roll. But I doubt I'll reorder.

I really enjoy this juice, it reminds me strongly of the Sonic cherry limeade I used to love before moving to a sadly Sonic-free area.

Of the juices I've had from MBV this requires the most steeping. OOB the lime is overwhelming and it has a slight medicinal taste, at a 50/50 mix with one shot it takes about 2-3 weeks for the more delicate cherry to really emerge and provide a good balance. Vapor production is pretty good at this mix, TH at 12mg is present and satisfying without being harsh.

I'll be honest, OOB this juice tasted like garbage. I actually debated whether I should toss it in the drawer or dump it.

I'm really glad I hung on to it!

About 2 months later I stumbled across it and decided to try it again. It was a total transformation. What tasted like a cross between cough medicine and gym socks straight from the mail was now a rich, creamy, velvety, not cloyingly sweet, natural juicy black cherry. It's not at all complex but it doesn't need to be. I love cherry and couldn't put it down.

Can't wait for my next bottle to finish steeping. (I'm not even going to try it till it hits 3 weeks) I'd rate this higher, but that initial taste...ugh. This is not a juice for the impatient vaper.

This is the only juice I've ordered from Carpe Diem (so far...but that's probably going to change quick!) but it was an excellent recommendation, a good experience and this juice is OMG delicious.

I would agree with others here that it's more of a dense, rich lemon pound cake than the sweeter cupcake, but I think it's actually better this way. I get the mild creamy lemon, a bit of the rich (but not overbearing) cake and a light but sweet vanilla icing on the finish. The balance is excellent. Lemon can be overpowering and a difficult flavor to work with, these folks did an amazing job. (In my best Schwarzenegger) Ah'll be bahck...!

This is the one. The one I might possibly deal with this vendor again to order, that is.

Don't get me wrong, this is still a juice you have to make a serious commitment to. It needs to be babysat. It must be shaken, given warm baths, carefully dressed and undressed through the breathing process. Don't expect it to grow up too soon either, it doesn't come into its own for a good month after you receive it. It takes a long time to breathe off the pervasive alcohol taste in this vendor's juices but in this one I actually was able to get rid of most of it.

If you love creamy, slightly sweet, smooth coffee flavors this one may just be worth the wait. The coffee/kahlua flavor is smooth and rich, still strong but in this one not so harsh and overpowering. More like a white russian than a milkshake, but still good.

50/50 at 12mg, steeped 1 week without cap, 3 more cap on.

This is one of the juices FSUSA really does right. While a bit too sweet for an ADV for me, I keep it on hand at all times and use it daily to satisfy the sweets craving.

At some point you may have encountered the simple, old-fashioned wedding cake consisting of a white cake flavored with vanilla and almond, only lightly frosted usually in cream cheese rather than mounds of fondant or buttercream. This juice captures that cake. Perfectly.

The flavor is weak OOB. Depending on the size of the bottle it takes from about 2 weeks up to a month for the flavor to fully mature, it will turn from a rather pale gold to a medium amber color when it's ready. Vapor is average to slightly above depending on your gear, burns easily at high voltages (I don't take it above 4 volts). TH is average to below. I have never needed to breathe this one. Quality is consistent through multiple orders ranging from 24mg down through 12. Plays very well alone or with fruits, coffee or chocolate!

Like most of the juices I tried from this vendor, this one was highly recommended and fell short.

The bottle arrived only partially filled, with the empty glass dropper inserted leaving me with just over 5ml of juice after paying for a 1/4 oz bottle (yes, this one I measured!). Strike one. And two. I want to get what I pay for...especially at these prices. Don't we all?

I love the candy this is based on, the delicate creamy buttercream mints. What I received was peppermint schnapps! Long story short, what should have been a creamy, mild mint never matured past an aggressive Altoid and the lingering traces of alcohol even six weeks later after literally weeks of breathing (and evaporating more than 1ml of the total 5ml in volume) it reminded me strongly of Cool Mint Listerine. Which is fine if you like Cool Mint Listerine I guess, but I really don't want to vape it.

One of the few juices I've ever declared unsalvageable and dumped. 50/50 in 12mg.

Let me be clear here, my rating for this juice may be colored by my overall experience and disappointment with the vendor as a whole. Still, this is a flavor many, many vendors do at least reasonably well and I was hoping for a bit more than this.

First, the 1/4 oz. bottle is small and PRICEY. If you're thinking this is equivalent to a standard 10ml bottle from other vendors, look it up. You'll be unpleasantly surprised. Be aware the bottle does NOT have a child proof cap and none I had on hand fit this bottle. The cap comes with an attached glass dropper, which is convenient but my bottles have all been shipped with the dropper empty, so you get even less actual juice. Only one of five bottles received in two separate orders was full to capacity. Very disappointing before the bottle was even opened.

I ordered 50/50 12mg and vaped in an Aspire BDC on a basic eGo twist.

OOB the smell was pure strong alcohol with a vaguely citrus note, somewhat like a midrange citrus vodka. I did not try it. Two weeks of breathing/steeping later I had lost a noticeable amount of juice to evaporation but the alcohol was still strong.

After a month it was vapeable, but harsh and tasted more like a screwdriver than an orange creamsicle. The orange is real orange and probably a good flavor if it were not so strong and full of the alcohol taste. Even at the lowest voltage it was difficult to detect any vanilla. This juice separates visibly and yes, it was shaken thoroughly before using.

Both flavor and aroma are strong and aggressive. The tank had to be boiled twice and soaked in vodka to get rid of the taste. What's left of the bottle now sits in the back of a drawer. I may try sampling it again...sometime...but then again, why?

I like this juice, but can't quite put my finger on how to describe the flavor. Like Sprite, but not quite? That's pretty close. It's a light, refreshing, slightly sweet but still crisp, fruity flavor with a little....something hard to pinpoint. Whatever it is, like I said, I like it. Nice vapor production and vapes clean.

It is meant to be a lighter flavor so if you like juices that slap you in the face this probably isn't for you. It does benefit immensely from a minimum 2 week steep like most of their juices. If you don't like it OOB (it will be weak) put it away for a while before making up your mind.

I order 50/50 with extra flavor and have had in both 18 and 12mg with good consistency, steeped for 2 weeks minimum and vaped on a variety of gear but best IMO on a vv device in a mini protank or rebuilt EVOD.

Of the (few) juices I tried from AiV this was the best in my opinion. Like all of their juices it comes already well steeped, so it was vaped pretty much OOB with 2 nights of breathing. There is a lot of alcohol in this juice, breathing is a must.

Now I love pumpkin spice in general, but everyone has a slightly different preference. My personal preference is a deep, dark, rich pumpkin pie. So keep that in mind.

This juice is not a pie, but a cream cheese pumpkin cake roll flavor and as such I found it a bit heavy to the creamy/custard and light on the pumpkin and spices for my taste, but it did taste as advertised. This would be a good choice for those who like the lighter pumpkin custard type pies or pumpkin flavored cheesecake.

It wasn't bad though, actually quite enjoyable although I doubt I'll put myself through the hassle required to reorder.

Good, not great. It's lime. It's mandarin orange. The individual flavors are pure, the balance is heavy toward the lime. I like lime and it was enjoyable but for the price and hype I was expecting something more.

I picked up a bottle of this on my first visit to Nicoticket as part of my quest to find the perfect vanilla, a quest more difficult than it sounds! I've tried vanilla after vanilla from vendor after vendor and I've gotta say while some were quite nice (and some were very....not), not one has compared to Frenilla. Not even close.

Please, please, please bring this back soon?
