EC Blendflavors

So, got me ECBlend order in and the born on date was 4/23 so figure steeping is good already, though I did let them sit in warm water a few hours then open for a few more then left closed over night.. Trying the RY4 now and I gotta say, its not very 'tobacco' like. More 'Sweet Vanilla Sugar'... Is it suppose to be so 'sweet'? Should I let this one steep longer?

Edit: This is in an Aspire BDC 1.8ohm on an EVOD batt @ 4.1... Gonna try it in a EVOD BCC 2.2 ohm.

 

[Midniteoyl]

OK..

So, change it out and I gotta say, it works better in the single coil EVOD.. Even though I was pushing the Aspire to 9.2watts, thats still only 4.6w to each coil. Must be way too cool for this juice. The 2.2ohm EVOD driven at the same 4.1v (max for this batt, waiting on more gear) gives 7.6w and gives a much better vapor and flavor to the juice.. Though it IS still too sweet for my tastes with very little tobacco flavor. Still a Sweet Vanilla.. While good, its not 'RY4'.. I'm on the fence.

I find the RY4 more Caramel than vanilla, but I think the caramel and tobacco stand out. I'm an RY4 guy and I think this one is among the best, I always order 50ml at a time. Great thing about this one is you can frankenjuice it with good RY4s to find new flavor profiles, and with bad ones to save them. It does need steeping though, but after two weeks it's fine as wine.

 

[Midniteoyl]

Thanks..

But this is still way too sugary sweet for my tastes.. I'll let it steep a little longer and test again.

Try their 7L Hopscotch flavor for less sugary tobacco flavor. I think it is popular among participants in this thread.

I've been vaping it last few days and find it okay. For me, it has confirmed, yet again, that tobacco type vapes aren't all that great. If I desire a good tobacco taste, I'll go have a smoke. As I smoke so rarely and as there's umpteen other flavor combinations available, tobacco vape is something I'll try about twice a year.

 

[Midniteoyl]

Thanks.. I'll keep that in mind.

They are having their annual customer appreciation sale. 30% off with the code 10030

I'm getting 125ml of one of my favorite RY4s for $26!

 

[Lombaowski]

Also going to try a tea your way. Peach with honey sounds pretty good amiright?

That's a huge score Lombaowski!

Wasn't aware of the sale until I double checked this thread, so thanks for that. I just re-did my last order (from post #354) but went up in size on anything that was previously 5 ml. I did subtract:
- Dragon's Charm
- Big Bubble
- 7L Hopscotch
- and Cola

Finding I prefer only lighter colored liquids at this point and Big Bubble, while decent, isn't worthy of a larger order.

Almost went 'really big' on Dragon's Magic as I liked it that much but there will be other orders.

I have to say, I'm so glad to finally be finished reading this thread. (I get really weirdly obsessive about finishing things I start)
Okay, so first of all, I made a rather large order earlier this week (Tuesday, I believe) and it shipped on Thursday. Got here today. I live in Portland though, so...I was honestly expecting it to get here sooner. But it's not a big deal. I thought about what to get for so long that I messed it up a little and completely forgot about the peach ala zoe which everyone seems to love...I'm really disappointed about that. Anyways, without further ado, here's my order:

Everything is five ml, double extra flavor, 40/60 pg/vg, and six mg except for the sample they sent, which is zero mg and 50/50.
I guess I'll start with the sample, which is the only thing I've tried since it's the only thing that's been steeped. Black Gold is supposed to be "Sweet Black Cigar/Pipe tobacco flavor (main flavor) with a blend of whipped vanilla (light flavor)" and I guess that's sort of accurate? I don't taste anything on the inhale really, and I taste a sort of sweet, chocolately, very light tobacco taste on the exhale. It almost tastes like the way old cigarettes smell or the way smoke smells. It's hard to describe. It's sweet though, and not harsh. Unfortunately, I really don't like tobacco flavors--I stopped smoking more than a year ago--so I don't particularly care for this flavor, but I'm sure if someone was looking for a sweet tobacco type deal, they'd really like this one. I may add it to something, I'm not sure yet.

I haven't tried any of the other juices yet, as I'm going to let them air out tomorrow and then steep them for a week. At that point, I'll decide if I'm going to add some more VG to them/let them steep more/vape them as is/etc and I'll check in then.

Dragon's Blood/Breath/Brew/Cafe/Charm/Crown/Delight/Dream/Kiss/Magic/Milk/Roar (I was really excited about the Dragon line)
Apple butter rum, apricot raspberry, bavarian cream, chai tea, fluffernutter, Irish cream, kettle corn, orange cinnabun, pumpkin spice cupcake, s'mores, snickerdoodle, Texas pecan pie

I wish I'd gotten the peach one, but I'll get it on my next order. Also sorry if this post is rambly, I've had a really long day and am exhausted.

I like the rambly posts when it comes to flavors.

I'm sure many here will appreciate your reviews for the the full Dragon Line. I think I've had 4 of the ones you mentioned and have found Magic to be the best that I've tried so far.

All the rest (non-Dragon) sound interesting, and I've had a couple that you mentioned. But I'd be real interested in your review of Apple butter rum.

 

[JacobAyden]

Just to check in, I've been letting the juice's air out for a couple days with their caps off. I also went ahead and added one ml of VG to each of them--which took a while. Today, they're finally beginning to lose their weird, chemicaly, perfumey smell. I'm hoping tomorrow I can put the caps on and begin shaking them daily. I've decided I'm not going to bother vaping them until my rebuildable atomizer and VTR come in because I don't have that much juice (per flavor, if that makes sense) and I'd like the experience to be as enjoyable as possible.
Also, if I review each flavor, including pictures, should I post them here or should I start a new thread? It's just that I've got like twenty-some flavors.

That's a good question. I would think you could post here as this is ECB dedicated thread, but may want to double check with ECF moderator before posting.

Hmmm. So I'm a ridiculously impatient person and decided to try the Fluffernutter I got even though it's not ready. It's got really good vapor--even better than the straight VG I do sometimes--but that's about the only positive. The throat hit isn't too bad on the inhale, it's actually nearly perfect, but the exhale is quite harsh. It also doesn't taste like anything discernible. Now I'm scared I screwed everything up by getting DXF on everything. I guess time will tell.
I'm really hoping on a dripper the flavors will come out.

That's the color, for anyone who's interested. A lot of the juices have darkened a little since I got them. I wanted to take pictures of them new, too, but I forgot.

Wow, that bottle is huge. Nearly the same size as your head. It's gotta be a gallon or so. How much did that cost? $100 or so?

Oh, and btw, yes I'm kidding.

I wonder if it's possible to buy e juice by the gallon though! I can't even imagine.

 

[MikeMills]

I'm a fan of their RY7, Desert Gold and DK 555. The RY4 is a little too sweet for me.

I found the same.. little to no flavor. Well, except just 'sweet'. I have been letting them steep for about a month now..

 

[JacobAyden]

I'm vaping the pumpkin spice cupcake and it's actually awesome. I love pumpkin spice and this doesn't disappoint. Not much flavor on the inhale but it tastes a bit like pumpkin spice frosting on the exhale. Still not much flavor, which is disappointing. If I get it again, maybe I'll try extra flavor instead of DXF? I don't think it'd really help, but maybe?

 

[JacobAyden]

The Texas pecan pie is good too. It smells like caramel, very very sweet caramel. It mostly tastes like the caramelized sugary bit of pecan pie, if that makes sense. Maybe a hint of pecan, as well. It's not a very complex flavor, in my opinion. But still good.
