I've tried several of the EC Blends flavors. I like most of them, but I'm concerned that the liquid is always cloudy. I've never gotten a cloudy looking liquid from any other vendor. I want to get more of the flavors I like, but I'm concerned about what is causing the cloudy look to the liquid. I didn't really notice it that much in the plastic bottles they use, but when I transferred some to a glass bottle, I was shocked at the appearance of the liquid as I poured it.
Has anyone else noticed this? I've contacted them with a few questions about different things and the answer seems to be "it needs to steep." So, I read up on steeping. Saw no mention of cloudy liquids.
I've not read all 45 pages of this thread, only the last few, more recent, posts. I'm wondering if this stuff is safe to vape, and notice that one person tossed a lot of liquid because it tasted way off. I've tossed a few that just tasted awful to me, but noticing that every single flavor I like is cloudy looking concerns me.
The flavors I use are Buttered Keoki Rum Coffee XF, Espresso Shot (both regular and XF) and a buttered rum flavor - I tossed the plastic bottle when I transferred it to glass. I liked the Dragon's Dream XF, but found another brand that is clear, so I use it now - mostly because it has a brighter flavor. I also have the chocolate, which I mix with a choco-mint flavor and it tastes fine. I expect a chocolate to be dark, so didn't think anything of the dark color. The ones in my rotation all taste great, but I'm wondering about the quality. I've gotten 50/50 to 80VG/20PG. The lesser VG looks the same as the ones with more VG.
I used to mix almost all of what I vaped, but was having trouble finding new flavorings that I wanted, so I started buying some pre-mixed again.
I've been vaping for over 6 years, so am not inexperienced, but this steeping business is new to me this year. I'd never heard of it until I started asking questions from another company (which subsequently discontinued my favorite buttered rum flavor!)
What I love is that buttered rum flavor, and am afraid of possible contaminants such as diacetyl sneaking in with the buttered part of buttered rum!
Anyway, would appreciate any feedback on the cloudiness of this liquid. Most of it seems to vape pretty clean in my carts - I replace the top mounted coil when needed, and clean them regularly, and ECBlends liquid seems to vape a lot cleaner than some extremely clear appearing liquids I use.
Sorry if my terminology is out of date, lol! Things have changed so much in the last few years!
Thanks for any input!
