Dragon series

[NGIB]

I buy quite a bit from ECBlends and I generally like their juice. On my 1st order I received a sample of Dragons Blood so I tried it. It did taste of fruit & cream (which I like) but there is a bitter or acrid component to it that tastes bad to me. This stuff gets rave reviews so I figured I may have gotten a bad sample. Undaunted, on my latest order I included a 10 ml bottle of Dream (orange based) and Tears (strawberry based) - with the same results. Yes, I taste the fruit & cream but both also have the bitter/acrid taste/aftertaste which is not pleasant at all. Again, this stuff gets rave reviews and has a fan following - is it just me?

No, the juice definitely has a bite to it. I would describe it as sort of an acidic, sour flavor with a slight bitter undertone. It's sweet, but not like a desert, more like a tart/sourish fruit.

However, that's one of the things I like best about it. Flavor and taste is very subjective. Something that tastes wonderful to one person, might not taste that great to another. To put it in perspective, I drink my coffee black, and I love it that way. I enjoy somewhat bitter flavors, and/or sour flavors. I don't really care for super sweet things most of the time.

Dragon's Blood is my all day vape. I order that stuff by the fl oz, not ml lol. But hey, like I said, it's subjective. I mean just ask a bunch of people what their favorite food is, you'll get a bunch of different responses. That's why I don't buy based on reviews. I get a small size and test it out for myself. Reviews, regarding things like taste, can be misleading without being untrue or even bias.

Hmmmm. I don't get any bitter/acrid taste from it at all on either Dragon's Blood or Dragon's Tear. I'm using 12mg. What nic strength are you using.

I found the 12mg doesn't give me enough of a throat hit, so I've got a bottle of 18mg Dragon's Blood on the way. Should be here today. When I get to vape it tonight, I'll let you know if that one has any bitterness to it.

It would be nice if they offered the extra sweetener option with these juices, it might help get it just right

Mine is 18mg. It was not a nicotine peppery taste, it's almost a "burning carto" aftertaste. Ah well, I can always give it away at some point but I think I'll just let it age for a month or so and try it again...

ECblend does offer all different kinds of options, including extra sweetener. I personally haven't noticed a bitter taste with ECblend juices, but I know where you are coming from NGIB. I have had juice from vendors that most people seem to like where there was some component to all of the juices that I didn't care for.

You can puchase a bottle of sweetener from them. I am going to do this with my next order.

Yes, I know they do, but for the Dragon's Blood it is not an option

I just checked again, and it is on the tear, but not the blood nor the dream.
