I love blackberries, but have also noticed the juices taste soapy, I found that cutting it 4parts blackberry to 1 part vanilla makes it better... I would really love a strawberry rhubarb pie juice...


I want to cry!! Due to bad cartos (hopefully not from Dragon's Blood!!) and wasted liquid in the bad cartos, I'm completely out of Dragon's Blood. Another bottle should be waiting for me on Monday along with the Dragon Tears (I have a feeling I'm going to love the Tears just as much). I'm sucking every last drop of DB out of my clearo I had to drag out :(. I've resisted sucking on the bad cartos. Finally ordered some 3.0 ohm XL Boges last week that should be in the mail as well.

I've been using the Grape, but it still tastes off to me. It IS getting a little better. I didn't think fruity juices needed to sit. I've ordered some grape from Vape Dudes to try.

The TKO is, of course, sitting.

Not really digging the Dragon Fruit; it's okay. Not bad, not great, definitely want my blood back. OH is vaping it.

I had to order more Ruyan 4 as well. I think my OH finally found something he likes!

The cinnamon (Fireball?) is still sitting. A steeping chart would be wonderful for these juices!!

Still not liking Blackberry. Soapy, maybe? Not 100% sure I like blackberries but I used to eat blackberry cobbler, so, who knows...

Not much of an update/review, I know.

I will say this: Dragon fruit is said to taste like a mix between a kiwi and a pear. If you do NOT like kiwi or pear, try the Dragon's Blood anyway!! I hate pears, and kiwis are just pretty good (I don't buy them but I'll eat them occasionally), so don't go by not liking kiwis or pears!! If you try it, which I highly suggest, and hate it, I'll give you my address and take it off your hands :D.

Well, the grape's definitely even better today after sitting in my tank with no off taste at all, so I guess it and the blackberry need more time than the others. The only vanilla I have is vanilla bean right now and don't know how that would go but I could do a drip test :). I just mentioned rhubarb to my boyfriend a day or so ago. I have yet to find any, but that would be interesting! I haven't had rhubarb for years since my uncle grew them.

Over the last 2 months I've ordered about 20 different 5ml flavors. Right out of the package I couldn't stand any of them. Let sit with tops open in cool dark area for 3 days and then tops on for about 3-4 weeks. No improvement here. Just all very chemically and no fun. Lot of orange topped bottles that don't do anything for me.

I have a lot of family in the Tri-state area... are you related to any Dutch or Such? most all of my kin grow rhubarb... also I used vanilla cream to cut, so bean might work too.

Sorry to hear you do not like them, I will gladly give you my address if you want to get rid of them...

Believe me, I wish it wasn't true. The customer support was great and shipping was quick but damn nothing that arrived made any sense to my toungue. I use a tank system and it usually is very good at flavor and intensity. Not sure the problem. Sure, send your address and whatever I've given up on is yours. Just sad.

Out of curiosity, did you ask for double extra flavor on these?
I find that those I have gotten with extra flavor are excellent, but if I ask for double extra flavor,
they are awful tasting tongue scrubbing horrors. *shudder*

No, not that I know of, but I have a lot of family in Ohio, too, I've never met. I'll try the bean :). Thank you!

Tiger, I have the White Peach ala Zoe (with vanilla) in my Wish List because of you!

Be sure to get it with extra flavor and a shot of vanilla - and hard as it may be, let it steep for at least a week before you fill a cart with it. I find it shows its true colors when used in a boge 2.0, or similar. Stardusts will mute the delicate taste too much on this one. And if you do not like it, I will be happy to take it off of your hands. :p

I just tried it the White Peach ala Zoe with Vanilla and Raspberry, and it is so flippin' good! I loved the original, but the vanilla & raspberry made my eyes roll into the back of my head :)

Received the Dragon's Tear this morning, I've been typing it wrong as Dragon Tears...Oops!!

It is yummy!! I ordered extra flavor and a strawberry shot 18mg 80pg/20vg, I think. The strawberry is yummy, but will probably get without the shot next time to taste more of the awesome creaminess I love about Dragon's Blood. Best strawberry I've had. Will definitely be ordering a bigger, bigger bottle next time. I finally found my strawberries and cream!! Thank you, EC Blend!!

ive ordered about 15 flavors in the last couple weeks (quit analogs on st. patty's day, started vaping a week later). None of the "tobacco" flavors taste anything like tobacco to me, in fact 4 of the 6 i bought the first time made me want to gag straight out of the bottle. After letting them sit for a week some of them mellowed out to be tolerable but still none taste like tobacco.

as i'm a noob, i ordered them in reduced PG and 12 mg (cuz i wanted lights) and none give a throat hit at all. The 18 mg kretek (clove) was good, tasted just like a clove, and gave decent throat hit if i really chief on it. I just got my 18 mg flavors in 60 pg/40 vg.

included was a custom blend ginger limeade that tastes awesome right out of the bottle, but sadly has no throat hit. I ordered it with cool hit, wondering if that kills the TH...anyone had any experiences with the 'cool hit' from EC?

hi Tao - The cool hit from EC shouldn't kill the throat hit, it should give you the cool effect of menthol without the menthol flavor.

To increase your throat hit, try increasing your PG ratio on your next order. PG=Throat Hit, VG=vapor. Some people love 80% pg/20% vg - I don't like too much throat hit, so I generally order a 50/50 mix.

You'll need to experiment a bit to find the right combination for your preferences, but that's one of the things that makes ECBlends great - their prices are low enough that experimenting doesn't break the bank, especially if you use code 10020 for 20% off of your order :)

I'm not a big fan of tobacco flavored vapes, so I can't help you with that, but I do agree that the Kretek is a great clove substitute! You might find that you prefer a fruit or sweet vape, so try different juices to find out.

Your custom creation sounds delish - if you don't mind sharing, what ratios did you use? I might have to try that combo on my next order!

I wanted a good vapor/TH combo, figured 60/40 would get me there, but clearly need to up the pg. I've been vaping some 100% pg DeKang this week, the throat hit is good but the PG gives a sweet/sticky cough syrup hit feel, if that makes any sense. The vg definetely cuts the cough syrup feel, plus i like to blow vape rings:vapor:.

Cold ginger limeade:

50% ginger
40% Lime
10% Lemonade

Add sour, Add sweet, add cool hit

Its delicious, i will def order again.

Next time i would make it 55% Lime, 35 % ginger, 10% lemonade. The ginger is real good, but more lime should make it snap better with the sour. (and next time im going to do 80/20 pg-vg)

With the right TH, this could def be my changeup flavor.

You'll have to play with your PG/VG ratios then, and you might need to play with your nic level as well, as I understand that increased nic can also increase the TH.

The cough syrupy feel might not be the 100% pg, it may just be the particular flavor you were vaping - I think we've all found juices that mimicked cough syrup in either flavor or hit, and... ick. I don't even like the taste when I have a cold, I really don't want to vape it!

Go with the 80/20 on your next order & let us know how it works out for you!

If you love the new ginger limeade formulation, be sure to send ECBlends an email from your account with them - if they like the flavor as much as you do, they may add it to their customer creations section :)

I have not updated this in a while but want to add some more that I have tried to this thread.
White Peach ala Zoe - is really great straight out of the bottle. May try this again with vanilla as Tiger Lady has recommended. Would order this one again in a bigger bottle for sure.
White Chocolate Mocha - my blend is coffe my way, add extra sugar add white chocolate, mocha and cream flavorings and love this combo.
Ruyan 4 (RY4) - this is a great flavor as is. Went through the sample bottle very quickly and ordered a larger bottle of this one.
Dulce de Leche - Another flavor I really like and will order again.
Coconut Caramel Cookies - I like this flavor and will order again BUT I will not put it as a favorite yet. Just another one that I really do like.
Vanilla Malt - I like this one and do find it pretty sweet. It is not an all day vape for me but is very good for certain times of the day when I want a sweet fix. I have ordered a larger bottle of this one.
Dragons Blood - I finally got a 15 ml bottle of this one and loved it so much it disappeared very quickly. Big bottle of this will be in my next order.
Stevens Surprise - This was another good flavor for me. Definitely find the strawberry in this one. It is a good blend.
I also reordered the Yummy and Cherry Swirl Cheesecake as well as my Chocolate Malt that I do under create your own malt wizard so I can add extra malt to it. This company rocks!!

Just HOW much do you like the Dulce de Leche?? I just ordered this tonight for my bf because he really, really likes the Ruyan 4 with extra caramel and he's been not wanting the tobacco flavor as much since he's been off cigarettes for a longer period of time. I hope I didn't mess up because I got him a big bottle of the Dulce de Leche IN PLACE of the Ruyan 4 :ohmy:. From the description, it seems like Ruyan 4 without any tobacco...I ordered Stephen's Surprise for the first time, too, so I'm excited about trying that.

another order half-vaped, and I'm still in love.
I'm blowing though this 15 mil of Absinth. I'm still slaughtering tha steven's surprise, and I've just load another tank of the g-juice. I like it switchup flavors throughout the day so every flavor gets a turn. I've been taking takerladys advice(as hard as it is) and been letting my juices steep for a bit before laying them waste. It has been worth the wait every time.
