EC Blendflavors

[TigerLadyTX]

Well, I got another order day before yesterday. It has been steeping since then, but I finally broke down and grabbed one of the bottles to try today. This one, is one of my own creations, created by using the 'Coffee Wizard': (Bottle Size: 15 ml $5.95, Additional Flavoring: Extra Flavor, Nicotine Strength: 18 mg - Regulars, Base Mix: 50% PG / 50% VG, Coffee Strength: Strong Black, Sugar Shot: Extra Sugar, Coffee Flavor Shot 1: Add Caramel, Coffee Flavor Shot 2: Add Cream, Coffee Flavor Shot 3: Add French Vanilla, Coffee Flavor Shot 4: Add Bavarian Creme (Sweet Vanilla), Name Your Creation: Indulgence)

I can smell the coffee in this one without even having to put it into the Ego Stardust cartomizer, (testing on KGO rig). It absolutely smells like strong, dark roasted coffee. I do not smell anything except for the coffee. Upon actually vaping the juice, the dominant flavor I taste is coffee on the inhale as well as the exhale. It is softened somewhat, by what is, I suppose, the caramel, vanilla, cream, and Bavarian cream notes - but as of right now, I cannot say with any specificity that I am actually tasting those flavors.

I will allow this one to steep awhile longer and re-visit it again in a month or so to see if there is any better separation of the flavor notes. As it is right now, I would give this one a 3.5 out of a 5. I neither like, nor dislike it. It is just kind of, "hmmmm...." for me right now.

I am expecting my 3rd ECB order in a couple of days.

First one and first ever e liq order was

Vanilla Malt 18mg - initial disappointment as the flavour seemed to be miss matched with the malt over powering the vanilla. Revisited last week and my a months steeping did it a huge favour. Sweet, balanced with a great malty finish. Good throat hit.

Chocolate Chilli 18mg - Another one that benefitted from steeping. While I am not convinced by the chocolate to be honest appreciated the slight spice the chilli brought to the juice. Again good throat hit.

Flavorless 12mg - I wasn't too sure about vaping at my desk so thought this would get me out of a bind during conference calls. It is basically taste free but strangely refreshing. Have not reordered as yet but an 18mg order will go in at some point.

Andy's Coffee 6mg Strong coffee.extra cream and sugar- Far too low nicotine but after a month sitting in a jar again better. I drip this from time to before heading towards to bed. Pleasant rather than good.

More to follow.

Today I am testing, via direct drip on 510 atty using KGO battery: White Peach ala Zoe: Extra Flavor, Nicotine Strength: 18 mg - Regulars, Base Mix: 50% PG / 50% VG, Enhanced Sweetener, Add Vanilla and all I can say is Oooooohhhhhh My. Even after only being steeped for a total of four days, this stuff is HEAVENLY! The smell, the taste, the entire experience is sublime. Soft peach flavor with a touch of sweetness on the inhale with a smooth creaminess, (the vanilla? the white chocolate?), on the exhale. This one is absolutely BIG bottle worthy and I can only imagine what it will taste like in a few more days with additional steeping. I think I am in love <3

I can't say enough good things about ECBlend, they were the first place I purchased juice from, and still do. I did have one mishap though. I bought two 50 ml bottles of Dragon's Blood with extra flavor at 24 mg nic, and the taste was too much for me. I added a couple drops of sweetener to a 5 ml test bottle, and I have been vaping my face off ever since. Thanks for all of the reviews here as I was pretty much only buying Dragon's Blood before. My most recent order is en route as I type, and I can't wait.

I just ordered 7 leaf, Chocolate Hazelnut extra flavor and that Stevens blend or whatever it is with extra flavor.

What are peoples luck with adding extra flavor? Im so sick of good flavors just kind of dwindling into nothing after they age for awhile...they become too weak...so I though extra flavor would help. Im not ruining good flavors am I?

I find that adding extra flavor is fine - it just makes the flavor stronger. But adding double extra flavor seems to be, based on my taste testing, a huge mistake. For whatever reason, double extra flavor winds up tasting like perfume to me. ick.
As far as the flavor fading away as it ages, I have not yet had that happen. Do you shake your juice like mad each and every time before you use some of it? I suppose it is possible that the flavor part is migrating to the top of the bottle and if you do not shake it up each time you use it, you might be siphoning off the flavor. Just a thought...

I just think its a case of the steeping process...at first the flavor will be strong and prominent and then, as it settles, it becomes more mild and subdued...which is probably what it should be.

I like that in my tobacco flavors but in my fruit and sweet flavors I want to be punched in the face with awesome!

Also...I ordered my stuff on Sunday...no shippy on Monday...whats up with that?

I purchased 6 flavors, Dragon's Blood and Dragon's Blood w/menthol, White Peach ala Zoe, Steven's Surprise, VC Stinger w/menthol, and 7 Leaf Tobacco w/menthol. All extra flavor. Didn't like any of them besides the White Peach.

If any one wants to trade there's still at least 4ml in each bottle. All in 18mg nic at 50/50%

I just got my order in...so how long do I wait for this stuff to steep? I heard 7 leaf needs a mandatory 2 weeks...but Stevens Surprise and Chocolate Hazelnut I wasnt sure.

Chocolate Hazelnut smells really good too.

 

[Lilkcceleb]

Mine was good after shaking it and waiting for about 5 minutes. If you want to steep it, a week.

Chocolate Hazelnut smells really good too.

I steep everything for at least a week before giving it a real test run. For the first 48 hours, I even take the caps off of them and leave them parked in a dark cupboard. Each day, I shake the heck outta them, then put them back into the cupboard to hide in the dark until time to add them to my stash box

EC Blends was my first order outside of Volcano's juice. I didn't care for the mixed berries; I think there was a berry in there that I just don't like. I custom made a 50/50 blend of Chocolate Hazelnut and Vanilla Swirl extra flavor and it tasted burnt the day I got it. A week and a half later, I don't want to put it down!! Soooo good! Just needed some sitting time. I'm also letting S'mores and Orange Cream sit right now. I had a big boo-boo with custom made Earl Grey, sweetened, with peach and raspberry added. I'll stick to drinking peach raspberry tea at Olive Garden!

For TigerLady: Does leaving the caps off make a difference? I've been letting them sit with the caps on but I have been shaking them.

Do you ever notice, on some juices, a perfume smell? Well, taking the caps, (and drip tip), off help to make that smell/taste go away a lot faster. Sometimes, I have to leave the cap off even longer than a couple of days. On one memorable occasion, I left it off for a month! Unfortunately, it did not help that juice one itty bitty bit. It was still a tongue scrubber at the end of that month, and I wound up sending it to file 13.

Well...I dripped a little of each flavor to try them and Chocolate Hazelnut and Stevens were so good I couldnt help but fill a cart for each...Ive been on both all day and they are gooood.

Stevens with extra flavor is a strong fruity flavor that is a good compliment to a tobacco flavor but does get to be a little much after a while...its like a fruit basket exploded in my mouth!

 

[ogredog]

K folks I just made an order, I will steep it when I receive it and post my opinions here. I ordered mainly tobacco blends and the twinkle....had to try it lol

 

[kia2]

I love ECBlends. I especially love my own concoctions!

I am not a fan of their 555 blend, however. That perfumey taste is there and I don't care for it. It is the only one I've tried like that so far. I tried the 7 leaf, and it was pretty good after a couple weeks of steeping.

Thing is, they have so many flavors and so many ways to have them blended, and the prices are so good, that eventually everyone should eventually find THE flavor that they can't live without.

After reading all of these comments, I broke down and made an order. Got one of their "stock" liquids (the fireball one) and made it nuclear. Otherwise, I invented three flavors, just because they're three flavors I've been dying to find SOMEWHERE. Those would be London Fog (which is a tea latte), B-52 (like the drink), and Toasted Almond (also like the drink). Here's to hoping that using coffee flavor instead of a Kahlua flavor works for the latter two... the first invention should be just fine provided I got the mix right.

Okay, So I JUST finished off my 5ml sample bottle of 'White Peach ala Zoe' + vanilla. And I whimpered as I squeezed that last precious drop of this delicious nectar into my Boge cart. Yes, whimpered. And then, I had to laugh at myself because it was just too darn funny not to laugh, (and it beats crying over that sad, empty little bottle).

Fortunately, I ordered the largest available bottle of this one earlier today, and I have enough of their other fabulous juices on hand that I shall survive until the my new order arrives....

But until then, sadly, I shall be pathetically jonesing for my 'White Peach ala Zoe' + vanilla shot. *sad face*
