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.
