Ok, between the highly favorable reviews from users in the Smokeless Image forum and this thread, I've got to try these guys. I'm still searching for the perfect Cherry flavor (SI's is good and is my go to when all else fails, but lacks a sweetness I'm looking for), as well as trying to branch out a bit. Ordered:
Cherry Cola (Very Sweet)
Cherry
Cherry Swirl (did I mention I'm dying for a great cherry? :oops:)
Desert Gold
Red Box
RY4

All Extra Flavor and 24mg. Crossing my fingers here!

LOL! Are you sure you like cherry?! :)

Iron Monkey (my other half) LOVES their Cherry Swirl. He vaped it exclusively for a couple of months, and now rotates it with their Strawberry (and this is the man who hates leftovers because he "wants more variety!" :glare: )

I haven't tried the Cherry Cola or straight Cherry, but Cherry Swirl IS good, and I think you'll find it has a nice amount of sweetness to it.

Their RY4 is also fantastic - I order it with double extra flavor, extra vanilla, extra caramel, and it is creamy, smooth and fabulous!
 
I put in my first order with ECBlends about 2 weeks ago and I went back for more 2 days ago.

Green Apple 80/20 12mg XF at first this tasted a little weird to me but after a few days steeping it turned out great def a candy green apple flavor

Dragon's Blood 80/20 12mg XF this was great right out of the bottle and after a week its even better. believe the hype. getting more of this.

Ruyan 4 80/20 12mg XF at this point you should notes that getting extra flavor is standard on ecblends juices for me and there ry4 is no exception. got some more of this on second order this time added extra vanilla and caramel. a little different form other ry4s i have tried but in a good way. hope the extra vanilla and caramel will make it even better.

Tobacco Blend 70/30 18mg Not great on its own but nice to add to other juices for a little tobacco flavor. the mix i got was a little to strong in the throat hit department. strong flavor with out adding extra.

Wintergreen 70/30 12mg XF this has a light flavor even with extra flavor added if i get this again i would add DXF and cool hit.

Steven's Surprise 80/20 12mg XF great with out steeping and better a week later. Has the taste of the artificial strawberrys and peaches like in instant oatmeal.

Chocolate Hazelnut Tobacco 80/20 12mg I get mostly the nutty flavor on this one. a little musty.

Chocolate Mint Coconut Crunch 50/50 0mg XF got this as a free sample tastes like a samoa cookie or a thin mint with coconut if i liked chocolate juices more this would be a must. this has a VERY strong coconut smell but the chocolate mint flavor stands out more than the coconut when vaping. I keep this one in its own little box so it dosnt smell up my juice box and my room.

I will post in this thread again when my second order comes in a has some time to steep.

I've ordered a couple of times from EC Blend. The RY4, IMO, is great...
What's even greater, is the extreemly fast shipping..and I do mean fast...
The ability to customize just about everything is a major bonus.

If I could buy all my PV stuff from them, I wouldn't need to shop anywhere else. The price of quality juice is unmatched.

Yeah, not all is super great, but it isnt unvapable either..If its not a hit right away, be sure to steep !!

I gotta admit, I might have an obsession with cherry heh.

Got'em in today and too impatient to steep them. Absolutely loving the Cherry Swirl, gotta get more of that!. Cherry Cola has a good smell and I can't wait to try it. Tasting the tobacco's they're a bit floral-y, so I'm going to let them sit a week and give it another go.

I'll give RY4 Dbl Flavor Extra vanilla/carmel a try on my next order. It sounds fantastic!

Extremely happy I tried these guys. Cherry Swirl alone makes them a winner in my book!

(Excerpts from my 40+ flavor thread for tigerlady)

-ratings-

Bad,ok,good,great

BAD -i wont ever vape it again

OK- means back up stash-perhaps little or no flavor but vapable in a pinch for sure-its nic right!

GOOD- means good. fine. vapable. In MY rotation. Nothing spectacular-got moneys worth. May reorder.

GREAT- means I would definitely buy again (or have) and would recommend to a friend no worries

EC BLEND: All12mg nic 70/30 (most extra flavor) 30mls

Dragons blood free sample -good- extra flavor would probably get a great rating. Fruity,creamy,lightly sweet

Caramel cap -ok-kinda weird and artificial tasting when toned down with more caramel quite good!

Runyan 4-(ry4) -ok/good- I've had better and could be a good back up all day vape. Hope that makes sense. I will reorder with extra caramel and vanilla.

7 leaf blend -ok- a lil too peppery... light bland flavor free sample vaped all. extra flavor would probably be gross Exhale smells like morning breath lol

Chocolate Hazelnut Tob. 5v -good/great-it is really growing on me! flavor is good just not a lot of tobacco

The Twinkle-good/great-i expected a sweet twinkie. I got a lightly sweet vanilla/yellow cakish disappointment. I wanted to be smacked in the face with a twinkie and lick the creme off me eyebrows.Better at 5v not bad at all just not what i hoped for.... grows on u...could be an all day vape becuz of the light flavor and smoothness

Vanilla Butternut Tobacco 5v-great-vanilla-e,buttery,tobacco-e (slightly)

Chocolate Vanilla 555-great- I really like it. Doesn't taste like 555 more similar to the chocolate hazelnut in profile

(This does not include the 8 flavors I created)

Hello everyone,

I recently ordered 14 samples from ECB, and am trying them out systematically:

First Phase: I fill a carto of each flavor right out of the box and rate it.
Second Phase: I steep them for 1-2 weeks, then spend 1 day per flavor, vaping each in turn.
(Unless the flavor is unvapable, then I move on to a different flavor for that day.)
Third Phase: any flavors without a good or great rating are steeped for 1 month,
and then again 1 day per flavor, vaping each in turn.
Any that are still too harsh will be cut with unflavored VG at 18mg and resampled
until an acceptable dilution (if possible) is found.

I'm in the middle of the Second Phase, and I don't want to jump the gun on these reviews, but I'll leave you with these:

ECblend's Chocolate Mint Coconut Crunch XF VG:20% 18mg
Caveat 1: I did not steep this - I vaped this while waiting for other fluids to steep.
Caveat 2: This was a freebie!
Caveat 3: I am rather sensitive to mint, and even small amounts will usually dominate the flavor profile for me, and result in a poorer review.
Not a bad fluid, the mint was rather pronounced, but not overpowering, so a person
with normal tastes will probably find it a bit subdued. I probably will not order this,
due to the mint, but I liked it enough that a bottle of chocolate covered coconut will be in my next order.
I would recommend this to anyone that likes chocolate, mint and coconut.

ECblend's Coffee Your Way DXF VG:20% 18mg
Strength: Strong Black, Sugar Shot: Sugar, Coffee Flavor Shot 1: Add Extra Cream, Coffee Flavor Shot 2: Add Hazelnut
Caveat 1: I did not steep this - I vaped this while waiting for other fluids to steep.
Caveat 2: This is a custom fluid
Not bad, but I should have picked Cream instead of Extra Cream, or maybe white chocolate or bavarian cream?
It also could do with an extra shot of hazelnut, or perhaps some steeping.
Not sure if I'll buy again: I have to keep it outside my regular case to keep coffee from invading other flavors.

ECblend's Pear DXF VG:20% 18mg
Caveat: I did not steep this.
Over a year ago, I tried some juice by nHaler called Pear Lung Juice. It was one of the tastiest
flavors I ever had, but it's a bit pricey: $23 for 30ml (ouch!), and it only comes in one
strength: 12mg (double ouch!). So I started trying pear flavors from other places, but
no one had anything remotely close until I found this juice. I LOVE this flavor. Right out of the
box this is awesome! It has a nicely complex flavor, and every time I open my stash box
to get another fluid, it stares at me and calls out my name! (Not really, but it takes a lot
of will-power not to vape this bottle dry right now!)

Well, I'll be back in a week or so with updates on the other 12 flavors!

Thank you and Happy Vaping!

Hello,

Here's my thoughts on my sampler flavors. About me: I like STRONG flavors, 24mg with good throat hit, usually a 25% to 50% VG blend. All juices listed below are 70% PG/30% VG, 24mg, Extra Flavor, and steeped for 4 days with the cap off but dropper top still in (except for the Cherry Swirl... it didn't even last a day :oops:).

I'm highly impressed with EC Blends. They've got a long term customer. Thanks everyone for the glowing reviews! After 2 orders with them, I strongly feel it was well deserved.

Cherry Swirl - OMG! 2 years of searching, and found my ALL DAY VAPE!! Signal the trumpets! Send in the acrobats! WINNER! Vaped half my sampler in 2 hours. 50ml bottle ordered and arrived. If you're looking for a sweet cherry, or a cherry ice cream flavor, THIS IS IT

Cherry Cola (Very Sweet) - I was a little worried about this one at first. Just like my personal DIY flavoring, out of the gate and freshly mixed this chemically ginger smell was EXTREMELY overpowering. I steeped it for four days (top off but dropper still in the bottle) and gave it another try. The chemical overpowering smell of ginger has gone away and it is much smoother. By far the best cola flavor I've tasted yet, but the cherry is still getting overpowered. This will certainly get vaped and if/when I reorder I"ll ask for heavier Cherry.

Cherry - Very light taste, even with extra flavor. When I order the next batch it'll be double extra flavor. Once I get the cherry flavor where I want it, this is very much a winner. Love the sweet taste to it. For me it did NOT need extra sweet.

RY4 - Steeping did this one TONS of good. Another one that was a little chemically and sharp off the production floor. Loving the carmel flavor to it. On CheekyMonkey's advice I ordered another sampler on my second order with extral vanilla and carmel and feel that should put this over the top and make it a competitor for my all day vape. Not like any other RY4 I've tried, and that's a GOOD THING! Should have waited to review this last, as now I don't want to put it down *grumble*

Desert Gold - Getting close! Smells similar to a fresh pack of camels, but still a bit chemically. Back in the closet it goes!

Red Box - This tastes amazingly like a burning cigarette :blink: Still a little carmely for my taste, so back in the closet.

Just got in my second order with Dragon's Tear and Dragon's Blood. Gonna steep these too, can't wait to try them.

Vape on :cool:

hi all...question for anyone who really likes Dragon's Blood and is using a VV...what voltage or you liking it best at? I am new to VV and just got my 650mah twist and so i'm trying to find the perfect voltage for dragon's blood in a 2.1-2.4 ohm Stardust...

now I assume this subjective but i wanted to know if there is a general concensous for this ohm range on a VV...thanks!

I have ordered ejuice from ECBlends a few times.
I love that I can customize my juice, extra flavor or extra extra flavor and add in flavor shots as well.
I am pretty noob to vaping, but have been trying out different ecig sites for juices and different cartomizer to vape them with.

RY4 (xtra flavor) I just ordered a 30ml bottle since my 15 ml is about out. Should have ordered a HUGE bottle had I known I was going to love it this much. This is my favorite! I am hooked on this one. ECBlends does a wonderful job mixing this
juice. I left mine to steep for a week before enjoying it, after reading other reviews and after one week steeping, this is an excellent juice. Has a wonderful balance of caramel and vanilla. Doesn't dry me out like some other ejuices tend to do.

Pineapple -Mango ( xtra flavor). Just ordered a 15 ml bottle after ordering the 5 ml sample of this juice and like it a lot.
This has a rich pineapple flavor , I don't get the mango flavor much but maybe it's just me. This is a good juice.

VC Stinger( xtra flavor) is another one that I really like. Only got a 5 ml to sample of this one but plan to get more VCStinger in the future. It has a nice balance of grape and raspberry.

RedBox flavor (xtra flavor)- ordered for when I am craving an analog. It is very rich and tobacco tasting. This juice has a deep brown color to it and is supposed to more closely emulate a real analog. I have yet to try an ejuice that tastes like an analog but this juice comes pretty close. Not a juice I would vape all day though.

7 leaf tobacco ( xtra flavor). this is the only juice I got from ECBlends that I don't care for. It almost has no taste.
The liquid is totally clear, there is no aroma from it that I can detect.
I have let it steep for over 2 wks as they recommended.
There is no rich tobacco flavor here. There is no rich taste of anything.

Peach Tobacco (xtra flavor) this has a rich peach taste with a slight undertone of tobacco. I wish I'd gotten larger than the
5ml bottle so I could have sampled it a little more. I may just have to order another sample bottle to decide if this flavor is for me. If you like peach you may want to try a small bottle of this and see if it's for you.

All the juices I ordered were 12 mg nic and 50/50 blend PG/VG.

My orders from ECBlends always arrive really fast. I will definitely keep ordering from this vendor.

I love these guys too. I hope the flavors stay consistent with them with my reorders. When I'm in doubt I order extra flavor and will just dilute it down with the inexpensive flavorless eliquid they sell at your favorite pv/vg ratio and nic strength. My favorite is my own blend of 50% cinnamon redhots & 50% rum with extra flavor. Taste like I remember Swisher sweets cigarillos tasting.

with a SR stardust start low, and work up till you get good flavor (3.8 volts for me), once you pass your sweetspot you'll get reduced flavor and/or a hot metal taste. back it down til you find that spot where you have solid vapor production and flavor. every one is a little different so I can't just tell you a number, sorry. you gotta trust your own tastebuds on this one.

Very new kid on the block, but I've already ordered twice from ECBlends, and I'm just crazy about 'em. I'm still trying to figure out what flavors I like, but I'm getting pretty darn close.

Round 1: All samples sizes of 5ml, 18mg, 60/40, no extra flavor/shots

REORDER!!
-- Dragon's Blood (dragon fruit + cream): I didn't think I would like it, but it was tasty right out of the box.
-- Caramel Cappuccino: I LOVE this flavor, but I think I might be burning my cartos with it (bc I'm hitting it so hard). It's rather dark. I still reordered it, because it is extremely scrumptious.
-- Earl Grey: Yes, tons of that crazy bergamot flavor that you either love or hate. I personally love it. This tastes exactly like sweetened Earl Grey tea.

Good, Still Deciding to Reorder
-- Somme (mocha, chocolate hazelnut cream, marshmallows, cinnamon): Not bad, warm flavors.
-- Writer's Den (clove, bourbon, tobacco): I do like this because it's heavy on cloves. Flavorful without an extra shot.

Meh, Just OK:
-- Chai Tea: a little cinnamon, with a warm sweet flavor.
-- Chocolate Hazelnut Tobacco: another poster mentioned that it tastes "musty." I have to agree with that. Not sure if this is all chocolate flavors or just this one.
-- Black and Blue Berry: Mild berry flavor. Not too sour.

Uhm, No...
-- TKO (blue raspberry): This was a free sample, so that was nice. I learned that I don't like sour, however, so I might be giving this away.
-- Perique Black Tobacco: I didn't know what I was getting into with this one. This will put hair on your chest. Flavorful without an extra shot. The peppery notes on it aren't bad, but it's just not my bag, I guess.

Round 2: All samples sizes of 5ml, 18mg, 70/30: in addition to reordering my top 3 above with extra flavor and in bigger sizes, I ordered sample sizes of these:

REORDER:
-- RY4: I already know I'm going to reorder this. I haven't even let it steep and I think it's AMAZING.

Jury Still Out
-- My Own Coffee Creation (Strong Coffee, Sugar, Extra Cream)
-- Desert Gold
-- Red Box
-- Smoky Caramel

I am absolutely hooked on their RY4!! My 3rd round of this stuff should be arriving today (my second 30ml bottle after my first 5ml sample). I think I am just going to order the next size up next week. I get it in 80/20, 6mg, Double extra flavor and extra caramel. I do add in 5:1 of unflavored 50/50 36mg into the batch to bring the nic to 11mg and to dilute the flavor a tad. Just cannot put this stuff down.

The other 2 that I like a lot from them are:

Creme De Menthe, double extra flavor, 80/20, 6mg, menthol and double extra sweetener. I also add in unflavored to this. But it's darn good. My 30ml should arrive today!

Dragon's Tear, double extra flavor, 80/20, 6mg and double extra sweetener. Awesome Strawberry flavor that is nice and creamy. Haven't ordered it in a bit, but next round this will be in my cart for sure.

ECBlends is now my only e-liquid vendor, speedy delivery and great customer service.

WTG ECBLENDS!!:)

CowboyGoggles, I think you just convinced me to order a sample of the Caramel Cappuccino. I've been eyeing it, but just wasn't sure. Since you like the RY4, I trust your opinions;)

I like it best at 5.0 and 5.2. I buy 18mg, 80/20 pg/vg, and extra flavor.

I've ordered Strawberry, Chocolate Hazelnut tobacco, Dragon's Blood, Chocolate, Cherry Swirl and Dulce de Leche.

I made a second order with RY4, Almond Amaretto, Espresso Shot, Dragon's Tear and Irish Cream.

I'm eager to taste them all but I want to let them steep properly. How much time do you guys let them steep?
