Very generous praise gill2009 , probably to much  . I thought about doing a video review , but I've realised I have a face for radio and a voice for the deaf , not a good idea. Andy |

Right , I've been busy and maybe a little preoccupied of late.So let's get on with the next juice. Company Description  A perfectly layered fruit medley of apple , peach and strawberry that yields a bright , fresh flavour. Set-Up Used MVP 3.0 with a Subtank Mini , using the RBA base.8 wraps of 0.4mm Kanthal , 3mm diameter giving 1.2 ohms.Vaping between 11-20 watts. Colour and Smell - When opening the bottle. The colour , even after weeks of steeping , is a off clear/light yellow. The smell that I get when I open the bottle is semi sweet apple with peach just behind it the strawberry hardly raises it's head , very faint in the background. Throat Hit With this juice I get a good/hard throat hit , but I think it's because this juice has apple and peach in it and the citrus of the peach and the slightly tart apple flavours make the throat hit seem slightly stronger than normal , but nothing to strong to put you off the vape itself. Vapour production The vapour production here is really rather good.I normally like quite a tight draw as I mostly mouth to lung when I vape and you still get a good amount of vapour.When you lung inhale though , there is a great cloud of vapour produced , very nice. Flavour This juice is one that changes with airflow , I'll try and explain.With the tightest airflow setting the underlying flavour is a sweet apple with the peach and strawberry on top in equal measure , with an overall sweet vape , but nothing that is un-natural , nothing candied, which is my favourite.As you make the airflow bigger the apple comes through more and more , also giving you a more tart apple flavour.At the biggest airflow setting you get a tart/sweet apple and a more citrus like peach flavour and the strawberry tones down to smooth out the vape nicely.The flavour profile is stable throughout the wattage range , as you would expect with a fruit E-Juice. What I didn't expect from this though was the overall flavour.I've described the flavours individually , but not as a whole.The overall flavour you get is very tropical , you'd almost expect it to have a different ingredients list.It's a juice that can be enjoyed in the summer as it's very refreshing and then in other times of the year , where you're remembering the summer sun. Would I order it again - definitely. Could it be an ADV ? - Very much so.It's not a "In your face" flavour but still strong enough for us in the UK and EU that like stronger flavours. Overall Score - 9.5/10 The only reason that it dropped a half point is , I would have added a slight touch of cream just to smooth it out a little more and make it a little more decadant. Andy |

lairey , sorry , I couldn't wait 2 weeks for it to steep. I got a tank full in my Kayfun V4 clone and it's lovely.The only thing that seems to be on the weak side is the scone part , obviously that will come through more with more time to steep.Having made my 3 strengths up , it seems that the 15% seems great , that's before I've even tried the higher percentages. At least I know what I'm going to be doing tomorrow , that's making some more of this up.THEN it's going to be some more concentrate is going to have to be ordered. Andy

It's tiny, so small I had to use a magnifying glass to read it, it's just underneath the 'like us on Facebook' It is on mine anyway, shame it's not on yours. I have one of the new labels , that look like the new web site design and their isn't anything mentioning Facebook on it at all. Andy |

Paging Montana as I know he is a VTR fan and has a few of them  LOL , thanks lairey . I just had a look at the spring compression on 2 of my VTR's and they seem to be a total of ~3mm of travel from uncompressed to fully compressed , so 3mm magnets would be to much IMHO , I would go for 1.5mm as they don't need much more to make them stay properly. The Vendor that sold me my first one said that that maybe the case with certain flat top batteries , as there is no adjustment for the hinge and sometimes the negative end of the battery gets slightly dented and loses connection.It gets very annoying sucking on thin air when you haven't realised the mod has turned itself off , lol Andy |

I would have picked the Jam Toast to review other than it's Raspberry and for some reason I don't like Raspberry.On the other hand , if it had been strawberry jam I would have been all over it.

Hey yeah big thanks to CL My tailored Cct is fanfastic. Being a lil impatient i jumped straight in. im sure it will get better with time. I get the cream the tea and every once in a while usually a longer pull i get a jam i think.... I must admit I tried a bit on a dripper , but I could tell that it hadn't mixed properly at all and needs steeping. Andy |

It is with some sadness but also great excitement that we would like to announce that Mt. Baker Vapor will be transitioning all operations from our birthplace of Bellingham, WA to a new home in Mesa, AZ. The move will be finished in Fall 2015 and during that time we will strive to have zero interruptions to the normal ordering process at mtbakervapor.com. As many of you know, the Washington legislature is currently considering two bills (HB 1645 and 2211) which aim to impose enormous taxes on the sale of vaping products and to ban online sales. Obviously these proposed regulations are immensely harmful to our business. While they have not yet been passed, current Governor Jay Inslee has continued to be outspoken on the need for regulation in the industry and we believe he will persist in pushing this agenda for the rest of his term. After much deliberation we’ve decided that the best course of action for the continued growth of our business is to relocate. This decision was not made lightly; many of us call Washington home and have our whole lives here. However, we cannot allow the whims of a few State legislators to cripple our company. Our elected officials need to know that we will not be bullied into paying unfair tax rates. If they want to punish us for working in a new industry we will take our business elsewhere. For all our Washington customers and colleagues, please understand that we will continue to fight for the rights of all vapers and vendors in Washington. Our brick and mortar store located in Lynden, WA will continue operation and we hope that our actions in leaving the State will help legislators realize that they should do everything possible to keep other tax-contributing businesses from leaving. However this is a battle we need to fight without the constant threat of legislation hanging over our head. This company has grown immensely because the vaping community has given us so much support in the past and we would greatly appreciate your continued support throughout the relocation and into the future. This is going to be a difficult process but we believe that moving to Arizona offers us the best chance to continue growing alongside this amazing community. Finally, while we wish the whole crew could make the trip from Washington to Arizona, we will be losing a few employees over the next couple months. If you are located near Mesa and would like the opportunity to work in the vaping industry, keep an eye out for official job postings from us in the near future. You can find a link to our official blog post and press release below. Thank you again and vape on! I for one , find this very saddening. I also find it sickening that a state that legalises marijuana , is basically trying to ban vaping. You're never going to get anyone that's not in control of a motor vehicle due to vaping and that's just one example. Sad day indeed. Andy |

I think up until such a time that Innokin decide to actually update their VTR , I'm going to have to have a bit of a compromise.Personally I think that Innokin are missing out on a big sector of smokers.I say this because the VTR appealed to the construction industry as wing rugged and protecting the tank and the 510 threads.
When I have spoken to Innokin about updating the VTR they have just said that it's underselling the rest of their range , when the rest of their range has more features and are cheaper , so of course they are going to sell more , it's common sense.
I'm still really surprised that with all the versions of every box mod from a lot of manufacturers , none of them seem to have the menus and system and lots of other things they should have got right. To me this shows that they don't listen to their customers let alone the reviewers . You would have thought that they would want to look after us , as me might not e able to buy ANYTHING from them soon and I don't just mean in Europe either , that could be from a lot of the U.S States as well , they may have a lot of stock that they can't get rid of if their not careful.

Hope things pick up bud, vanilla Vapes have MVP 3, SIG mini as well which would be my go for, but if you can afford it a SIG 100+ its a cracking mod. I was looking at the Sig Mini before I got the MVP 3.0 , after I saw the P Busardo review it put me right off , with it being PWM and silly memory settings thing.I liked it for having the option to change out the battery though. Montana I'm heading kind of towards that area today and I have a new nemesis clone if a mech will tide you over. If you can meet me at buck barn services in a couple of hours you can have it I already have a mech I can use , but I've found it difficult to get the vape I want , as it's all to do with the coil build , I guess I'm either to fussy , or just crap at builds.I say this because I can't really get on with drippers either ? Thank you very much for the offer though , very , very kind. Hey Montana, send the MVP this way. If I get it working I'll send it back (after a little testing of course) thumb up I might just do that , although it was very close to it being taught some manners via my hammer ! Andy |

I have an MVP3 Montana and twice when I've put an atty on it that had too low a resistance, it has blanked out. I found the solution which was simply to plug the charger in, leave it for a couple of minutes, it fired up and went through the start up cycle. If you have tried that fair enough and if you are disposing of it I can usually make use of spare parts and will take it off your hands. Yeah I tried the charger , nothing there either. I'm just annoyed that it died , so soon after getting it.I know it was cheap , but that's not the point.Added to which I have to make a long journey to anywhere that's decent to get something.Just a pity somewhere like myepack doesn't have a shop or is open on a saturday.As I said earlier , the other places around here , especially the close one are either s**t or don't carry anything that has a reasonable price tag.I do need to get something asap though , I can't do reviews and drip , especially on a VTR.
