I find that the Stardust type clearos tend to considerably mute the flavors of most juices, regardless of who makes those juices. I sure wish this were not the case as I find Stardusts awesome in all other respects.

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.)

i have tried quiet a few ec blends flavors. and with the chocolate ones the perfumey taste is really really bad. ive had mine all for about a month now and it is still there in all but one. i have taken the caps off the other 3 in hopes it will go away. the chocolate covered cherries is prob my least fav out of the bunch. and will be put away incase i ever run out of every other flavor. it reminds me of chocolate covered cough medicine.

3 of my favorite liquids have also come from ec blends. butterscotch, cinnamon fireball, and cucumber cantaloupe. they were all great the day that i got them. no steeping required. cucumber cantaloupe is my adv. i did not get the perfumey taste with any of these 3.

I love ECblends.. but there tobacco liquids all have a perfume taste no matter how long they steep... 7 leaf has the least per taste but i wont be vaping it ever again ...yuck.....love the new red box as an additive just a few drops to pomegranate, strawberry or dragons tear realy gives a nice taste. its to strong to vape by itself.. The wife loves their dragons blood and ry4 ... I just got red energy (bull) xtra flavor its pretty good right out of the box

Finally tried all of our flavors. 0mg Key Lime Pie was great. I had it extra flavored with sweetener added. The Red Box Classic and Red Box New were terrible. Johnny said it tasted like chewing on well treated shoe leather. It was pure nastiness. Even if additional steeping would occur I believe it would just taste worse.

It's been 9 days of steeping ( no tasting before hand since every one here says ECBlends needs to steep) i tried the Dragons Blood in a carto and a clearo and both had zero flavor :( i am really bummed i have 6 other bottles of stuff by them that i havent tried yet just let them steep so far. Guess i will throw them in a box and pull them out when im running short on flavors ( in about 6 months lol) and see what I get then :( oh well at least i have found a vendor i really love and her stuff is yummy right out of the mail. Sorry EC i was hoping for good results but not a winner for me.

Looks like we ordered at the same time. My Vanilla Gorilla has absolutely no flavor. I can smell some goodness in the Dragon Tears, but there is no flavor. I haven't tried the Cucumber yet as it still smells like the base, which might be just the cucumber. The Black Pepper only took about 2 days, probably masked or eliminated the base taste. The peach watermelon cantaloup was good after 1 week and I really enjoyed it.

Went w ECBlend because I thought it was going to be a bargain. So far, 10ml of vapable product for $20 w very little hope the flavors mature. They've been thrown to the back of my junk drawer.

I might have to let them steep for a while.

Yeah, set aside and mark your calendar. :D

Wishdog,
I tried the cherry swirl (worse than the after taste of vomit) carmel apple- smells like a kind of burnt ?? Not sure what the smell behind the burn is but tastes nor smells anything like carmel or apple, dragons blood just 0 smell 0 taste. My son who is not picky at all tried the cherry swirl and said it tasted like... Well the backside of a human he even threw his carto out! ( he usually will mix a similiar flavor into cartos.
I have chocolate malt, twinkie, english toffee and Dragons Dream to try.... But the all either smell real fumky or have no smell and after the nasty stuff we have tried I think I will just give these away ( although to me giving these away is like gifting someone ripped jeans with a broken zipper.. Who wants someones crap??)
Bummed in Cali but you get what you pay for.... Little price less quality.

Received vanilla malt, coconut banana cream pie, bourbon and RY4. The RY4 is alright. The vanilla malt tastes like I'm chewing oatmeal. Unsweetened oatmeal at that. Not much vanilla at all. The coconut banana cream pie was better but could definitely use some steeping. So 2 out of 4 are good enough to vape. 1 not so much and the last one hasn't been tried. I'll report back on the bourbon later.

I did XF on my RY4, Black Pepper, and Dragon Tear. AFter 2 weeks steeping (ordered Friday the 13th, so I'm adding in the steeping time it took in the mail, though I steeped over a week with tops off) I can barely taste the RY4 and the Dragon Tear is still heavy on the flavor of the base. Black Pepper was good from day 1.

Planning on doing a Mr Vape order tomorrow. Seems to have good word here, though it's impossible to search for that name as mr is too short and vape is too common.

I've had a few flavors from Mr. Vape. I love the Apple Crumble! His RY4 isn't too shabby either.

IT WAS VOMIT AAAAAGHGHGHADHADHAGHGHHGHHH!

I ruined a CE3 clearo with it. I can't stand to try to vape it out with another flavor chasing it. Noooo. Noooo. I've even brushed my teeth and I still have tomato vomit taste attached to my gums and roof of my mouth. What was I thinking?!

Eight out of nine bottles are sitting tops-off letting the perfumy smell wear off. They actually said the RY4 and Dragon Blood should steep.

Cucumber smells kinda gross. Whoever recommended it, I trusted you....I trusted you... :cry:

It could have been the cuban gold. I got a bottle of it and cannot vape it. It was just wrong tasting. I had to throw it out.
I even let it steep to see if that helped but it didn't get any beter for me.

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.

I love EBC's RY4 I always get it in XXF.
I didn't like 7 leaf at all. Nor Smooth Cuban or Sweet Virginia.
Love Dragons Blood but I get it in XXF and still would like to get more flavor from this juice.
Their Desert Gold is good.
Pineapple Mango and VC Stinger I like . Just got a sample bottle of GJuice and I like that.
I didn't care for peach a la Zoe.
But it is very popular. Everyone has different taste.
