Thank you, Cheeky :). I've looked at that, but now I'll put it in the wish list. I usually get extra flavor on everything since we have VG and PG if I mess up. After posting, I ordered 6 or 7 more 5mL juices to try in a completely new order :blush:.

As for the Vanilla Gorilla, it tastes (to me) just like the "ball test" when making vanilla fudge!! There's a hard ball and soft ball stage when making fudge, and to check it you drop a spoonful of the boiling fudge stuff in water to see if it's done (if it keeps its ball shape after molding it, it is). Anyway, the juice tastes just like that. I hate fudge when it's finished, but I do like eating the ball test. Very, very rich, though!

The butter rum is very...rummy :glare:. I have some butter juice ordered from EC, so might add that?

More juices to come!!

I just placed my third order with ECBlend today, some 9 bottles totaling 'bout 725 ml

ALL of them (as in the past) except DK 555 were DXF, DK itself was XF

I guess I like m flavors strong

I found RY4, DXF + Extra Vanilla + Extra Caramel very tasty
Dulce de Leche DXF also great

If I find (as in the past) a flavor too strong it's mostly in the smell dept. I just let those steep 5 days with the caps/dropper off and then an extra week on if needed.

Out of some 5 flavors thus far, I only regret Cinnamon Danish & Chocolate Sin (a customer creation which happens to have Cinnamon Danish)

ECBlend is pretty much the only place I buy from (except from AVE's Boba and BlueMistVaping Caramel tobacco)

Hi everyone,

I just got in more liquids from EC Blends, and I'll post when I'm done sampling them. (I've tried them all, but I'm waiting for steeping)

Just one quick update on my last post: TKO and Mixed Berries both have a certain artificial raspberry flavor that I find nauseating; it's not that I don't like raspberry, far from it, but this one particular flavor rendition really gets to me. And since I know this is just one of my idiosyncrasies,(like the mint sensitivity,) I'm not going to 'review' these, and I'll probably just add them to my emergency juice.

Happy Vaping!

on my second bottle of their RY4 XF, its good. Also excited to try their chocolate marshmallow!

Hey Dhomes

How can you tell M type from DK type tobacco flav?


I haven't liked many of EC's traditional tobacco's. Too musty or funky even after steeping. I seem to like the fruitier tobacco notes, not so much the musty ones.

Tao, what do you mean by: "How can you tell M type from DK type tobacco flav? "
M type? what's that?

From ECB I have only had DK 555 (that's their name) and RY4.

DK 555 is pretty good (I ordered a second bottle, 125 ml) to me. I do like some tobaccos much better than fruits, and sweets a notch above tobacco.

DK from ECBlend is kind of spicy/gingerbread, DONT recommend DXF on this one though.

maybe try 2 5ml bottles? 1 with regular and the other with XF.

Again, that's just my taste.

I had sitting around a Alien's PG Hype (18 ml @ 24mg ) that I couldn't stomach. But yesterday I mixed it 50/50 with ECBlend's Cinnamon Cannonball DXF @ 36 mg Nuclear and I haven't been able to put it down.

As for Alien's, to me, Boba is Wow! PG Hype (alone) boooooring, Gorilla Juice is meeeeh (got a lot better when I mixed it with ECBlend' Banana DXF)

I also had a sample of Tobbaco Haze by Mom & Dad Vapor Shop, it's good but nothing I'd call Amazing. Not ordering that one.

M type? what's that?

Sorry for the confusion, i've been looking into DIY and there are a number of different tobacco base flavors out there (i.e. DK and M-type from perfumer's apprentice), some are described as earthy or musty, and some are brighter and more fruity, i thought you were referencing different tobacco bases, as i didn't realize that was EC's name for its 555.

Can anyone tell what types of tobacco bases EC uses? I have not had much luck with their tobacco flavors (even after steeping 1-2 weeks) excepting their RY4, which is pretty tasty to me.

This is my first attempt at reviews on ECF. I ordered a sampler group of 10 flavors from ecblend.com. They sent me 1 free sample. It shipped within 24 hours and arrived in 4 days (I live in the middle of nowhere, so that is a feat.) I steeped all of them for the minimum 7 days. I'm not going to review all because the verdict is still out on a few and there are a couple flavors I have not tried yet. The reason for the 0 Nic was I am a newbie, I believed that I could establish an all day 0 nic vape to coincide with a 24mg Nic when I was craving. In retrospect, I don't believe 0 nic is for me. Just a lower nic all day vape. Anyway, back on topic...

First off...The Pomegranate Flavor (70PG/30VG) 0% Nicotine. Strong, strong, strong pom flavor w/o steeping and it has remained reliable. By itself, it is a bit much for my taste buds. On a whim, I added it to some Champagne Juice and fell in love. It strongly resembles raspberry when mixed with other juice. I love this flavor as a mixer. Vapor produced was average. Throat hit was below average, but I am willing to recognize that could be my fault due to the 0 nic.

Next...Texas Pecan Pie (70/30 w/ 0 Nic). Don't Do It!!! To give you an idea.....mix whiskey w/ butter (lots of butter). After the first couple of puffs, I nearly felt sick from the flavor. It produced a good amount of vapor and the only thing I felt in the throat was a gag reflex.

Tomato Soup (60/40 w/ 0 Nic) Yep, I tried some savory. To my surprise, I liked this juice. It is not an all day vape and it is a strange one. At first, I was turned off. On inhale, I received nothing. On exhale....wait...what was that? Fresh tomato. I will eat a tomato off the vine anyday and this reminded me of that. This was without steeping. So, I let it steep for 7 days. After 7 days, the flavor became stronger and more pronounced. Further, there is a more creamy flavor to the tomato. It tastes like tomato soup, but a fresh homemade version. Not Campbell's soup. Average vapor and minor throat hit (once again, it could be the 0 nic.) Considering I won't vape it all the time, I'm glad I only ordered 5 ml, but I will work through the rest of the bottle as I move forward.

Pizza Ria (100PG w/ 0 Nic) I have seen reviews for Pizza flavors. None seem to pleased. My taste buds are either really strange, or ECBlends has done it right. I let this one steep for 10 days because I was nervous about it. Finally, it was time to bite the bullet. I took my first puff and .....whamo! That is pizza crust on the inhale...and is that parmesan? Yep, on the exhale, out comes some sauce w/ italian seasoning. I take another hit and I realize....wow....that's great. I seriously was watching a Pizza Hut commercial last night and it made me crave Pizza Ria juice. I went and got my carto and puffed away for the next half hour. Average vape and a minor throat hit. To be honest, I am glad that there is only a minor throat hit. I think TH distracts me from the savory flavors. This is not an all day vape, but I could rock this out when I am craving pizza and don't want the calories.

Crazy Citrus Cooler (70/30 w 0 Nic) As suggested by the site, I let this steep for 10 days prior to trying it. This flavor struck me as grapefruit. It is like taking a bite of a grapefruit w/ a little bit of sugar on top. If you like grapefruit, you will LOVE!!! this juice. I personally do not like grapefruit, never have. I pushed through long enough to get an idea of its other attributes and it does have a great vapor and an average throat hit.

Finally, the free sample. Coconut Caramel Cookies (70/20 w 0 Nic). After 10 days of steeping, I gave it a shot. I taste coconut, caramel, and cookie. The flavor is delicious. Not exactly Girl Scout delicious, but delicious. BIG Downside, after vaping it for a few minutes, I came to realize that my office reeked of the stuff. It was not like a sweet candle kind of smell, it literally reeked in an unpleasant way. In flavor, it came together nicely. In the air, it was obnoxious. I will not vape this again for this reason alone. I quit analogs because of the smell (among other obvious reasons) and love vape because of the general lack of smell to others. Other tidbits, it produced average vapor and minor throat hit (once again, bearing in mind the 0 nic).

Well, that is my first set of reviews. Hopefully this helps.

One more review, but I separated it due to it being my own creation.

I strongly suggest to all...try my Key Lime Pie.

Nic Strength: 0 mg Base Mix: 70% PG / 30% VG, Flavor Selection 1: Key Lime 50 %, Flavor Selection 2: Graham Cracker 25 %, Flavor Selection 3: Sweet Cream 25 %.

Oh my goodness....that is amazing. My own creation is my favorite of all the flavors I have ordered from ECBlend so far. It literally tastes like a bite of fresh Key Lime Pie. I kept the percentages pretty basic and it was spot on. I can vape it all day, just wish I would have added some nicotine to it. I do plan to reorder this flavor...many times (just with nicotine.) Vapor is average and TH was average.

Wow...Its been a while since i seen such a long list of flavor reviews for a site. I JUST TODAY discovered this supplier after speaking with my favorite ecig company and they are thinking of selling this liquid, so I checked it out. However, there are sooo many flavors covered here, but no review on waffle!

PLEASE SOMEONE REVIEW THE WAFFLE!

YUMMY!!! You have options with the Waffle (as with so many of the juices!) - I've had it with blueberry & maple, and it's fantastic. I'd recommend trying at least a 5ml with the toppings of your choice (I'll order more & try different combinations. It's yum) :)
 
I LOVE ECB!!

TKO - 18mg 80/20 Extra Flavor and Sour added. This juice is amazing to me, it really does taste like the blue blow pop as mentioned in other reviews! I got the 50mil bottle of this, and I'm excited to taste again after 2 weeks steeping

Dragon's Tear 0mg 80/20 Extra Flavor - They sent me a 5ml bottle of this for free. Wonderful strawberry cream taste with no steeping period. My girlfriend LOVES it and loves the fact that there is no nic (she's not a vaper or smoker). Shes like "so I can just do this one for fun??" Haha thats all yours honey!

I will for sure be ordering more from ECB soon!

i just got my first ECB order ... why haven't i ordered from them before?

ordered thursday morning before work ... like 6am est ... received tracking # before lunch! checked the tracking info Friday night, saw that it had not left OR yet ... oh well, it will get here Tuesday, 4 day, not bad, right? Wrong! checked again Saturday afternoon, and out for delivery? really? 2 day shipping from OR to OH? amazing.

anyway, i ordered the following:
all reduced PG, 18mg, no flavor tweaks ...

30ml ry4
15ml dragons tear (wife is s&c junkie)
15ml dragons dream (i'm a creamsicle junkie)
5ml orange cream (see above)
5ml darkness (i <3 usa mix from GP - but is too thin and floods everything)
5ml banana pudding

freebie - sweet virginia, 0mg, red pg 5ml

--------------------------
inital thoughts:

packaging - other vendors, this is how you do it. priority box, bubble wrap, all bottles individually sealed, and then sealed in groups. any potential leakage is accounted for.

shipping - holy jesus. only thing faster is local pickup from the one guy i order from that lives close to where i work.

literature - usually this is a kinko's made business card or 2, and a packing list, which is usually just a screen print of the email they already sent you. ecblends is using a custom written order / warehousing software suite, and it shows. full color tri-fold menu? awesome. i can take this to work and pass it around to the other vapers. friend tip thing? nice idea. dunno that i would buy any, but i have friends that might.

freebie - always good. if you like the juice or not, you remember that they tried.

smell - like fruit salad. even double wrapped, i could smell the juice. nice.

as for the juices, well, being impatient, i had to try some straight out of the box.

ry4 - topped my ry4 T2 off with about 3/4ml ... instantly could taste their flavor over my homemade ry3.14 ... glad i got 30ml. this might not get around to steeping.

banana pudding - dripped in 2Ω 510 on a twist @ 4.2v ... this. is. it. my friend DIY's banana creme .. but he mixes 70/30 @ 33mg - way too harsh for me. reduced pg and 18mg is nice ... i can taste banana and vanilla pudding separately. marshmallow at the end pull it all together.

darkness - literally smell coffee just like i make it. then, you get a little chocolatey tobacco ... and then coffee again. there will be a larger bottle of this soonish.

sweet virginia - nutty vanilla mapley caramel light tobacco. mostly nutty at first, the burnt sugarymaplecaramelwhiskey finish is awesome. this is what i expected out of a 555 or gp's 222 when i read about them before i started vaping ... this is going to steep for a while, and if i still like it, i may get off of ry4 as my all day vape.

the dragons flavors are steeping before i mess with them ... i am diving into the orange cream later today sometime.

Can you expound on the RY4 flavor a bit?
What are your thoughts on the dragon line?

Wyzen, their RY4 is one of the best juices I keep coming back to, the way I order it (DXF with EXTRA Caramel) is more on the sweet side (but not too much) and that's the way I like it. Actually I once ordered it with Extra Vanilla & Extra Caramel and I did regret it (not because it was bad, at all, but because it broke the balance of flavor I do prefer).

Just yesterday I placed my fourth order for a 125 ml bottle of it (didn't order the 250ml as I read good things about BlueMistVaping's new RY4.5 and got a 180ml on of that)

My first order came in about 3 weeks ago....didn't like any of it much.
Re-visited them today on my dripper. Much better....Dragon's Blood is very good. 7 Leaf tobacco is quite tasty, other flavors were my own creation, and in my rookie excitement I overdid just about every flavor I created so....not a fair judgement of EC. I loved Absinthe in small doses, but I got it for the sole purpose of adding a few drops to my tobacco flavours, for that it was perfect.
I highly recommend EC Blends
