And in the future, should you run across a juice you do not like, don't just toss it - trade it in the classifieds, send it to Brother Frankie for his vaping flock of homeless people, ( http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...91-helping-homeless-dont-know-where-post.html ), or pass it on in the PIF thread, ( http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...pif-group-treasure-chest-revised-edition.html ). But please do not just toss them out!

I so agree with this! just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's garbage!

I am curious, are you using this mouthwash? Crest mouthwash killing people's tastebuds
I went awhile not being able to taste much of anything - and this included my beloved ECB juices.
I thought that it was just me having this issue. Found out in short order that this was not the case.

Thanks for the heads up! Thats the mouthwash we use and I too thought it was just me, everything taste like metal for hours afterwards....will be filing the rest in the circular.
As for ECB.. Just got my first samples in today.. 9 flavors i haven't tried any yet just put them in dark place to steep, but I got 3 samples for my son and he liked them. Keep in mind i am only 1 month in and my son a week so we know pretty much nothing :)
I have gotten samples from Vape-A-Licious as well as 3 other venders and VAL wins hands down! If you like the sweet juices this lady is your gal. Everything I ordered was delicious.

I've tried them, in sampler sizes, first, several times. The WEIRD thing is, then, when I find a flavor I like I order the LARGE size and it's totally NOT the same as the sampler flavor :facepalm: :confused: Not just ECBlends, this has happened to me from several vendors! So much inconsistency it boggles my mind! :blink: When given a choice of VG/PG etc., I always opt for the 90-100% VG ratios, not that VG ratios should matter with the consistency of how they make their flavors in small or large bottles!
I'd like to find a vendor, that when I order the "sampler" packs have the same exact flavor in the Larger sizes too! How hard is that? Is this too much to ask? Anyone else have this problem with inconsistent flavors from week to week?

I'm thinking maybe the samples are poured up from a larger batch made earlier and are allowed to steep while waiting to be ordered. Then I'll get some fresh stuff and, at least from ECB, it has a thick floral-like scent that gradually goes away. I have eight 5ml bottles acting as an air freshener in our rec room right now. I'd say the smell it puts into the room has diminished to around 5% of what it was the first day (it reeked) but I'm not going to try vaping it until it stops smelling so weird.

I just got my first order from them yesterday and haven't tried all of them. So far, so good. I got ginger with a shot of pear: delish. Eggnog: delish. Vanilla malt: delish. Chai: little disappointing but I am also very picky with my actual chai tea. Made my own peanut butter chocolate banana smoothie and banana was overpowering. I almost lowered the percentage when I made it- should have trusted my instincts! Banana can be like that and I know it. There are more, so far though, I have no complaints and their choices and prices are phenomenal. Shipping was two days. So, yay!

After one week of steeping, the Black Pepper is quite nice. I can't vape it for long as it actually does mess with my nose. I got extra flavor, and if ordering again I'd get double extra. I do recommend it if you're adventurous, but it really required steeping as do all the juices I got.

To me, the base is quite bad. I'm still steeping the remaining seven bottles, caps off. I tried the (Something) Gorilla last night and it just tasted like the base rather than like coconut marshmallows.

I'm running so low on juice that I'm vaping stuff I don't like at all, and the pepper when I can handle it. Had to make a between-paydays purchase this morning for MadVapes (aka TopVapor) Licorice, Grandpa, and Ultramint to help me through the steeping process on my ECB liquids.

I can't understand those who are able to to vape these right out of the mailbox. Then again, I did place my order on Friday, so these might be the 4:30-on-Friday no-QC victims.

it is weird that small samples often taste better than bigger bottles. I have found consistency with halo, jooglerjuice - those are the only 2 I have ordered bigger (30ml) bottles from regularly....

I ordered a bunch of samples from them last Friday. The shipping was ultra fast (got them Monday), the prices amazing, and I've been letting them steep. I started trying them today, and...I don't know...they all have this strange perfumey taste. I'm not a fan so far. It must be their base or something, because every juice I got from them has that taste. I'll let them sit for a few more days and see what happens, but so far, I don't think I'll be ordering from them again. If things don't change, I'll pay them forward and hopefully someone else will enjoy.

Bummer. I had high hopes.

Just got my first ECBlend order and not so impressed at the moment (using a couple different clearos). I tried my custom blend of chai, vanilla, and virginia tobacco and it was awful, though the flavor is very strong. That was probably my own fault though. Next, tried the TKO and it was very bland. I'm on the RY4 and it is also bland. Still have Vanilla Gorilla and 7 Leaf to try. Maybe I should have gotten extra flavor? I'll try to let them steep and will report back if they get any better.

Got our order yesterday. The key lime pie is pretty good. They gave us a sampler of 7 Leaf Tobacco and it really doesn't have a flavor. The 2 Red Box Classic and Red Box New seemed to over power the entire package. I ended up putting the key lime pie in a separate cupboard because the Red Boxes were stinking everything up. They smell of burnt ash. I seriously thought our package was packed up by a chain smoking lunatic that almost set the package on fire. You could smell the package even before you opened it. I'm seriously afraid to watch Johnny vape it. It's sitting in the cupboard waiting for him to a) run out of his RY4, b) waiting for him to gain some courage. I swear those two bottles are staring him down in the morning. They scare the crap out of me.

Mine had the same thing. Like the base overpowers the flavors. DOn't care for it at all.

The perfumey taste is a virtual guarantee they need more steeping...

Update: One week after order and some flavors have developed partially and the base taste is almost gone. Black Pepper, Bahama Mama, and Peach Watermelon Cantaloup are quite good, but with muted flavors.

One thing I think I notice, I beleive when I got them I couldn't tell the difference between them without looking at the label. The fluids are now different colors.

I loaded a T2 (basically a different shaped Stardust) with RY4 with high hopes, and it has pretty much no flavor. I think that ECBlend is a moderate bargain, if you don't mind steeping it for a while.

In the meantime, since I am running low on liquid, I made an order to MadVapes for their Licorice, Grandpa, and Ultamint. I've had Licorice and Grandpa and with just 10ml of each, I'll be able to survive through the steeping to next payday (I'm only supposed to order stuff on/after payday and I broke our rule)(Yeah, we're poor, so what.)
