I just got my ECB flavors today as well that were ordered around 11/29 (10 days ago). A bit longer than usual, but not in any huge hurry. In fact, it could be another 3+ weeks before I try anything new (as mentioned in post #272). I'm that stocked up currently. vaping life for me is berry berry good.

Yeah ordered on the 29th and just got mine today as well. Not sure it's their fault though, they shipped on December 2nd and USPS sent the damn thing to a sort facility in upstate NY. I'm in DC, ECBlend is in Oregon. Makes no sense.
Yeah I think USPS is kind of having a spastic fit right now what with so many shipments going out and their "flat rate" boxes/envelopes. I've ordered a lot lately due to Black Friday/Cyber Monday for Christmas presents and such, and most of my orders still haven't gotten here, and are just sitting in sorting facilities for whatever reason, for several days at a time.
Anyway, back on topic...
Even though I just recieved an order from ECB, I was running low on some flavors so placed another order, due in no small part to this thread.
Ordered 7 Leaf Hopscotch (can't wait to try this one), Chocolate Hazelnut Tobacco (not sure how this is going to turn out, it's kind of been up or down from what I've read), as well as a 50ml bottle of Caramel Macchiato (love this stuff, sooooo good), and some Spicy RY4. I love ECB's RY4, it's my ADV, but something different would be interesting.
Speaking of different, I got adventurous and started mixing flavors today. I mixed some ECB RY4 with some Nicquid's Day Break. Holy vapes! ECB RY4 is very smooth, and Nicquid is very strong. Put the two together and it's a whole new beast. At first I felt like the deer from Open Season when he was sipping on a cup of coffee.
It's freedom in a clearo!
Got my last order in
1 x Dragon's Blood - eLiquid Flavor
(Bottle Size: 50 ml 14.65, Nic Strength: 18 mg - Regulars, Base Mix: 70% PG / 30% VG)

Oh man..the bigger batches seem oh so good, the flavor is different from the smaller bottles, more smooth more right on the money...must be harder to mix those teeny bottles vs larger batches...but WOW...Dragons blood in 50ml...PERFECT!
I like 70/30 mix (usually thinner) going to try 50/50 since it's the default (do you recommend 70/30 or 50/50...fixing to find out...pulling the trigger on a new order

lol...I had the same experience when I mixed Nicquid's Sinapse with ECB's Apple Pie. ECB's pie was a little on the weak side (but the spices in it are more nuanced than Sinapse), and the Sinapse (apple/cinnamon/menthol) was REALLY strong. Blended roughly 30% Sinapse with 70% ECB Apple Pie right there in my SmokeTech Aro, and HOOO-EEEEEE! that was good!
Loved the Open Season video, Ryuukon!

p.s. my last ECB order (placed the 2nd week of December) took a couple of days longer to get here than it usually does. That wasn't ECB's fault...they shipped 4 days after I placed the order, but according to my tracking info, it got hung up in the Post Office. Not ECB's fault; just holiday shipping madness.
Frankenjuicing with ECB RY4 is where I found my absolutely favorite vape: 50/50 with HHV Heavenly Tobacco. I've also mixed it with Tribeca, Hangsen, MFS and Vapor's Knoll RY4s and it works every time.
I am vaping ECB Spicy RY4 right now, I'm liking what I'm tasting so far. Trying to figure out the elements but it tastes like a cookie!

Dangit Lombaowski! I've got at least 4 months of ECB juice sitting in my juice box right now, on TOP of all my other juices! I CAN'T order more juice right now! I can't!
Tempting people with new juices... what's the matter with you?!
BAH!
Now I gotta go dig out my credit card again....
Have some updates to my rankings, dropped a few but I also wanted to confirm some of the higher rankings on their very best juices. Even after trying 20+ vendors I still think ECBlend is the best buy for the money, and they offer a wide variety of juices. I highly recommend samplers, which you can do for $2.50 for 5ml which is cheaper than almost anyone else for that size. I always recommend extra flavor, but not double flavor.What I've tested, all with an extra flavor shot:
A+
Dragon's Crown: tastes just like a coconut M&M, it is like crack. Wonderful, just perfectUPDATE: After trying 100+ juices from 20+ vendors, I really think this is the best juice out there
A
RY4: I think this stuff is solid, very smooth taste and really a perfect blend of vanilla, caramel and tobacco. Everything you'd expect from a good RY4. UPDATE: After trying 15-20 RY4s, I would rank this one top three. It's truly a brilliant custom juice.
A-
White Peach ala Zoe: Let this steep for three weeks and it's the smoothest fruit vape you can imagine. Really delicious. UPDATE: I think this is one of the best fruit vapes from any vendor, outstanding.
7 Leaf Hopscotch: These is a complex juice with is a Boba's Bounty-like presentation. It is a candidate as an ADV
B+
Dragon's Tear: doesn't have the kicker Crown does but it's smooth and not too sweet. Tastes like Strawberries and Cream, what can I say
Dragon's Brew (add sweetener): My favorite coffee blend
Dragon's Dream: Orange creamsicle, better in a top wick than a bottom like most ECBlend juices IMO
B
Dragon's Cafe: I like Brew a bit better but this is really much better as it steeps for a few weeks.
Strawberry ala Zoe: Great and subtle
Fruit Smoothie: I use this as a base to go along with candy-tasting fruit flavors from places like MFS.
C+ to B-
Blue Colada: This one surprised me but it's refreshing and well-blended like most of their juices
Caramel: I take this one and put 75% with 25% green apple in a carto and yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmm.
Strawberry: Also solid, good base to mix with banana flavors
Peach Watermelon Cantaloupe: Too much cantaloupe but a winner none the less
Fox Mocha Nut: I love coffee vapes if you can't tell, and this one is great as well. This place has the best coffee juices I've tried BY FAR. UPDATE: I have dropped all coffee vape rankings, but this is still a good vape
Butterscotch: I like it, strong dependable flavor here
C-
Dragon's Frozen Tear: I am not a huge fan of mint, otherwise this one would be a B. Good blend, just not for me.
Dragon's Delight: Good blend but a little peppery for me, the pears seemed a bit muted also
Boston Cream Pie Cupcake: I thought the flavor was very good but I can't do bakery flavors, way too sweet for me.
Dragon's Kiss: I am not a huge fan of dessert vapes but this one is ok.
D-
Dragon's Nectar: Way too peppery, never tasted right and I gave it away.
Not sure if this best place to ask, but will try it anyway. Has anyone that has tried ECB have an opinion on how it compares to MBV? I've not tried the Mt. Baker Vapor, but seems to be one of the most popular vapes around and just curious how they match up. Hoping to get not too overly biased opinions, but realize people will always praise the brand they like the most while possibly downplaying the rest.
I just received my 1st order of ECB flavors, large in part to the recommendations from this thread, so thanks to everyone here! My last company sent me an entire batch of duds save 1 or 2, and did nothing to back it up, so I'm giving these a try. I got a little crazy & ordered 14 flavors, 5 of which are my own "creations" using their wizard, which is pretty cool. I figure for $2.50 a bottle I can risk trying a number of flavors, and any "mistakes" I won't feel bad tossing in the bin. I'm letting them steep, & I'll post my 2 cents here after I try them out.
I'll try to be fair and balanced on this... I've ordered from both several times, and (to my taste) I've gotten some winners and losers from both.
From MBV, I mostly only like the Butterscotch, out of all the stuff I've ordered. There is something about their fruit flavors that I just don't care for, but I have given my un-loved bottles to vaping friends and family and they mostly like them just fine. People have very divided opinions on MBV, but what pretty much everyone can agree on is that their prices, shipping, and customer service are outstanding.
I've liked a much higher percentage of the juices I've gotten from ECB than MBV but they definitely have some very devout fans. Honestly, I think you will have to try to see what you think.
Agree with Lisa. I've tried 12-15 juices from MBV also and I just didn't find any of them particularly special. I gave away everything I ordered from them except their caramel, which I find quite good. I think people can really benefit from having either MBV or ECB as your core vendor, they have wide selections and the price point is among the best out there. So if you like one or the other, that's great for your wallet and for your enjoyment of vaping. I order every other month now from ECB while I try other vendors like Indigo, Mr Vape, Butterfly Vapes and others.
I really, really like ECBlend. I think I'll be ordering my top five juices from them for a long time, or as long as they maintain their quality and great prices anyway. I try to add one or two ones each time to test the waters so to speak, but I always will have Dragon's Crown and RY4 on hand.

Have tried a few from ECB. LOVE Kettle Corn and Wizard's Cave! Dragon's Charm was a little too 'medicine-tasting', so I'll let that steep awhile. Dragon's Tear was a little too sweet, but good. Dragon's Blood is also pretty sweet, but good. Fluffernutter was a great one. Want to try Peanut Butter Cookie next time.
"Tobacco Blend"
I had way too much alcohol in it so I'm letting it steep with the lid off for a few days. Still seems really watery for 100% VG after at least 72hrs though. After that, my most recent order was off but then I realized my tank was misbehaving. Luckily, I had one flavor in a good tank.
"100% VG/Organic Blueberry"
It's the first of the blueberry flavor for me so I can't really compare it to others. If they all have floral notes then this one isn't unique. I'm happy with it.
"Lumberjack"
This was vaped in the faulty tank so that's probably why I found the flavor so one dimensional. Going to try it in a new set-up today.
Update: Not bad. I wouldn't exactly describe it as a strong flavor. Just as it gets there the fruitiness kicks in and lightens it up. But, it's an interesting blend and I'd definitely recommend it for people who do like a bit of heartiness with their vape. I'd say it's more like a light tobacco really. Then, fruity.

One thing that I have noticed with ECB juices, mostly in the tobacco blends, is they are very floral. I've got a bottle of RY4 extra flavor extra tobacco that is so floral it tastes like a flower shop with a very small bakery in the back.
That honestly is my only complaint with ECB juices. Instead of creating a more realistic tobacco flavor, they rely on floral extracts to try and replicate it.
Which is probably why their non-tobacco flavors are always getting rave reviews. Every non-tobacco juice I've gotten from them was excellent, but at times the tobacco juices are just really... meh.
Like the 7Leaf Tobacco. It tastes really good, but it has a very uh... powder like... flavor... texture? consistency? (how do you describe something like that in a vape?) that it can be hard to vape sometimes, even though it is freaking delicious. I've got 3 different tanks filled with 7 Leaf Tobacco, because all those tanks taste different. So when one gets funky on me I switch to a different one and I'm all better.
Maybe it's just something I ate recently or drank that has had an effect on my taste buds, but sometimes some juices are totally awesome and other times they just rub me the wrong way, and thus I switch tanks with the same juice to get what I want.

Sigaro Tuscano is very potent if not borderline overwhelming. Heavy cocoa and molasses notes. If you want to taste it before you buy it you can buy the roll-you-own "cigar" wraps. The flavoring used in those formed and pressed wraps are exactly what this tastes like.
Lumberjack has grown on me. Especially after trying Sigaro. Next to it Lumberjack is pretty mellow and sweet. Still don't get the earthiness mentioned in the description but I do think I'm picking up some oak.
I'm still letting the 100% VG "Tobacco Blend" steep. It's been sitting with the lid off for nearly a week now and continues to appear more watery than the 20/80 PG/VG blends I've received. Kind of scared to vape it until it thickens up. When I tried before it burnt my lungs and throat despite not producing hardly any vapor. The flavor was sort of a medicinal licorice that made my mouth numb. I wrote ECBlends and they said it was ethyl alcohol in the mix and that it would evaporate.
