Where does MBV get its flavoring from?

Runoffs from plastic manufacturing plants.

HAHA I heard they use Flavor West and I also heard it was TFA ,so I was just wondering what it really was?

They use "mostly" Flavorwest from what I've heard.

I dont know, you can go to their website and ask in the chat maybe. They are pretty helpful over there.

just asked them, they do not disclose that information to anyone, public or wholesale. They do offer flavor concentrates and state they are all Diacetyl free, and offer a list as to flavors that crack tanks. It is what it is these days, they dont want competitors to have access to their recipes. I dont blame them.

I know I have cracked a few places recipes I was using before it is not that tough.
Finite amount of flavor vendors with infinite flavor combos, it really is like cooking once you have a single flavor down the rest falls into place.

Those markers that smell like fruit and stuff we used as kids lol jk some are ok vanilla tabacco is pretty nice.

Every flavoring I've ever bought from MBV is identical to the flavoring I get from Flavor West. I've used MBV in the past to test flavors before I order in bulk from FW. I've tried around 30 or so.

I asked how to replicate MBV's candy cane and per @HeadInClouds advice, I bought FW's candy cane. It is spot on. Also, in that thread, I was lead to believe that MBV mostly uses FW.

Still trying to figure out why Flavor West gets so much grief from my DIY peeps. FA beats them cold in the fruit department, but they have some really fantastic bakery/sweet flavorings. Sure they've got their share of stinkers, but which flavoring company doesn't? Their bavarian cream, peanut butter, caramel candy, maraschino cherry, and vanilla bean ice cream are best in class for me.

MBV blends typically go way overboard with the percentages in my opinion, particularly with the fruity ones.

It's my understanding that FW doesn't provide any testing results, but it has been independently shown that some FW flavors contain diketones. I'm new to this DIY thing, but that's what I've picked up from the DIY crowd.

Yes AFTER they claimed to be diacetyl free

I recall a scandal of sorts breaking out over that on reddit where their butterscotch was one of the main culprits. Certainly a cause for concern for vapers trying to avoid diketones. I only avoid the ones that are obviously heavily-laden with diketones like CAP's VC. I rarely mix FW stuff over 10%.

 

[bluraff3]

I just use their candy cane flavor (again, I'm just getting into this DIY thing), but I use it around 15% and I vape it constantly. If there are diketones in it, I'd be pretty upset (with myself mostly), but from what I know about flavors and diketones, I can't imagine there would be any in candy cane.
