I LOVE EC BLEND, I have made my own custom flavors every time I've ordered so far so that gives me the patience to wait 2-4 day before they make it, but once they ship it, it get to u as bout as fast as MTVB.
Is there any other e-liquid (from ECBlends or even other vendors) that has the same (or very similar) base flavor as their Desert Gold? I just cannot get enough of that stuff, and I'd like to try variations on that flavor profile. But just from sampling lots of other vendors' various "Turkish" flavors....well they all seem pretty disparate.
There is one flavor that pops up that seems to be variations on Dekang's "Desert Ship" or "Gamel" and I find it disgusting. It's in Smokeless Image's "Desert Joe." I don't mean to single them out, I just find that particular taste is unsuitable to my palate. Others might find it fantastic. But I want to avoid THAT kind of Turkish at all costs.
Help!

I've been meaning to give EC a shot. Might place an order soon. Keep the flavor recommendations coming folks!
if you dig creamy cinnamon, the Dragon's-whatever lineup is nice. Only one in there I haven't liked is Dragon's Cafe....
Magic Rypple is pretty great too. Coumarin Reborn is a bit of a letdown. Even with double-extra flavor and extra sweetener, the flavor
is still light after three weeks of steeping. But it doesn't taste bad. It just doesn't taste....enough. Heh.

I tried my 4 month old Chocolate Sin again last night and it tasted really good. Guess it needed a really long steep.
ECBlend has been my go-to e-liquid source for over a year and I will continue to order from them as long as they are in business. I recommend getting the extra flavor option as their flavoring is a bit on the light side, but other than that, I've been very satisfied. The Dragon line is particularly good with my favorites being Dragon's Blood, Dragon's Delight, Dragon's Nectar, Dragon's Passion, and Dragon's Cafe. Other favorites outside the Dragon line is White Peach ala Zoe and Raspberry Vanilla.
You may find other premium liquids that are better for a lot more money, but for the price and how quickly they ship, ECBlend is hard to beat.

I buy from both kinds of vendors. I really REALLY like finding a great juice from a place like ECBlends and keeping
it on hand at all times for little money, but I also regularly try out one or two juices from "boutique" vendors.
There's good and bad at both ends of the money spectrum. If money was NO OBJECT, I would still buy a lotta
joose from the cheaper places. It's all about how good the stuff tastes.

I'm with Zipflint. I also have a couple faves from a local B&M for emergencies, a 2 days from order to door vendor (MBV), and a 3 week but totally worth the wait vendor (AIV). Not to mention a bunch of fave vendors and flavors in the middle. I find a variety of prices and speed suit me best.

I'm a fan. I took a list of ejuice stores that sell a VG only line off this forum somewhere, and went to every single site to see how much it was per ml of juice. This was the cheapest out of the sites i priced.
I have been smoking their Orange Cream VG only 12mg all month. Fantastic flavor IMO!!!!
They do take a while to arrive, but its a small downside if you ask me.

With ECB the best strategy is get a bunch of 5ml's and find out what you like.
So far I've tried 60-70 different flavors (including a dozen or so CYO), and I found a few that I didn't like, a lot of solid middle-of-the-road vapes, and a few absolute gems!
Some gems:
Peach Watermelon Cantaloupe - awesome peach flavor; the melons completely blend in and brighten this one!
Key Lime - Mt Dew flavor... without the fizz, of course, clean and refreshing...
Chocolate Mint Coconut Crunch - a free sample that grew on me (if only they had a non-mint version...)
Earl Grey Tea - very close to the real thing...
Pear - delicious, may need to tone it down with a creamy flavor though.
Belgian Waffle Wizard - with a maple shot, overpoweringly good...
Pomegranate - love the flavor, not too sweet.
Dragon's Blood - think pink Starburst fruit chew...
Dragon's Tear - excellent, weak on arrival, but strengthens with steeping.
Vanilla Malt - absolutely beautiful taste after steeping...
Strawberry - sweet, like pear, may need to tone it down with a creamy flavor.
Happy Vaping!

Weirdly, Ahlusion's Sahara Blend is really similar to ECBlend's Desert Gold. Sahara is a little more complex, a little less....obvious. Of the two, I actually prefer ECBlend's Desert Gold. No joke.
That's not to say Ahlusion doesn't also have some to-die-for flavors too. Caramel Pear Black Tea and Smooth Criminal for starters.....

If you like their pear flavor, I absolutely recommend the Dragon's Delight (creamy peach-pear). The pear notes dominate this flavor, but the blend of the peach and dry cream (not sweet cream) notes in the mix come through nicely on the exhale.
The liquids I have ordered from ecb has been the WORST e juice I have ever tasted. Half of it was unvapable and I ended up throwing away 3 ce4s because I could not get the flavor out of the clearos even after cleaning with hot water and other methods.
This morning I was waiting for a shipment from EC Blend.... USPS estimated delivery on the 6th, but I think the holiday on the 4th upset their schedules.
To make matters worse, I was low on fluid - and I mean vaping bottom-of-the-barrel low. I was vaping a sample bottle from vapeBash that tasted exactly the way a urinal puck smells. As bad as that is, it was the best flavor I had, so I was really anxious to get my shipment!
It arrived!
Now I'm chilling with some delicious Key Lime and enjoying vapor again....
Seriously, I really appreciate the fact that they give you so many options to customize - it lets you tweak to your heart's content, for weal or for woe (and God knows I've messed up as many juices as I've improved!) and that's how I like it.
Some changes I made with this shipment:
Nic level: Went from 18 to 12mg I'm trying to wean myself down gradually. I vaped 24-26mg for about a year and 18mg for a year, so I'll see how this goes.
Flavor: Went from DXF to XF I've been moving away from extreme flavors, sweetness levels, etc. (Not just in vaping, but in food and drink as well.)
Future Tweaks:
I really love their pear flavor, and I've been trying to find an optimal balance for pear/cream ( I tried Dragon's Delight, not bad at all, but the peach dominates and I want purely pear!) 80/20 is too much cream, so I'll try some other cream flavors and different ratios as funds become available.
Good Luck all, and Happy Vaping!

i dont know what was going on with my order of DK555, but its the only juice to make me puke. thought maybe it was just that bottle, so i hit up the RY555, and up came lunch for a 2nd time. both went down the drain. i couldnt even salvage the empty bottles. whatever was in there completely tainted the plastic as well as the juice...never again.
Been vaping their stuff since october 2012. Good flavors,good prices.It may take a day or two for them to mix it up,but I don't think I've ever had to wait longer than a week. Steeping really makes a difference. You can vape it right out of the mailbox,but try it again in 2 or 3 weeks.
Way better.
Way better.
