I bought many juices this past week from them, here's a list!
(pg/vg is my ratio, not vg/pg)
125ml RY4 18mg 70/30
30ml Coffee Your Way / Vanilla/Caramel/Cream 18mg 70/30
15ml Dragon's Blood 18mg 70/30
5ml 555 18mg 70/30
5ml Peach w/ Menthol 70/30
All for $50.22
And we're just getting started...
Rather than go through each juice one-by-one. I find it better to review the company as a whole and their flavors as a base for their skill of creation.
EcBlend has good prices, but does it have good juice? Yes, it does have good juice. Is every juice good? Yes and no. I find that many of these flavors, actually... all of these flavors could be easily described as love them or hate them juices, especially the Coffee and Dragon's Blood.
Their juices are musky and dark-flavored which contrasts the colors which are rather light compared to many other juice company creations. I can easily spot a base in every company's recipe. I don't know what it is, but I taste it in every juice made by this company. The darkness, the muskyness, the hard flavor. Their RY4 is so dark it reminds me of FSUSA's Wyatt Earp or RY5, it doesn't make me think of an RY4. It's more dark tobacco than vanilla and caramel.
...Now, an odd conundrum with Dragon's Blood...
I've never had dragon's fruit, I have no idea what it tastes like, but this stuff is fruity, I just can't place the fruit because I have no idea what dragon's fruit is supposed to taste like, but the cream... even the cream is dark and even the fruit is musky. I like it, it almost tastes like tea to me. I could consider this an all-day vape if I could get over how weird the taste is initially. Yeah, I notice that it is fruit, I'm just trying to get over that it isn't a fruit I recognize.
The coffee.... no.
I think I added too much of something. It's too dark and too musky for me. It's nearly perfume-like in strength. Maybe some steeping will settle it out. It does to many coffee flavors I've had and boy, have I had some. I like coffee vapes and I can identify notes rather easily with them. This stuff tastes like someone took four shots of espresso and buttered it up with vanilla, caramel and cream. It's the sort of shot that will wake you up in the morning.
The best juice I got was the most experimental, the mentholated Peach.
I love it, I just hate that I only got 5ml of it. I think its brilliant how their menthol doesn't directly effect the flavor of the peach itself, it just adds a cool kick on top of it. Like, down here *imaginary line* is the peach and you can taste every bit of it, and up here, way up here, *imaginary higher line* is the menthol. It feels like two separate juices being vaped at once. It's awesome in a way that the menthol doesn't disturb the peach and vice versa and their menthol is at a very nice medium in terms of strength, but it will open your sinuses!
E-gadd this is embarassing but... I haven't tried the 555 yet. I'm going to clean the menthol out of my atomizer with some alcohol tonight and see how it is. I know 555... and if the juice I had previously is any indication, it will taste like pure bitter cocoa, but I have no idea yet!
Overall, I'm happy. I like their RY4 and I'm glad I got a large bottle, it's beginning to mello out and steep faster than the other juices. It is almost creamy, which is something I don't get from many RY4's but it is wholly satisfying, and I will be buying more of that menthol peach. It's to die for.
Shame I don't really dig Dragon's Blood that much, it is obviousy the company's staple juice due to user popularity much like Boba's Bounty is AV's staple juice. I did read that many other reviewers had an initial issue with the juice when they first recieved it, then it sank in with them that they really did enjoy it. I hope I do as well.
So that's EcBlend, cheap juice, but good juice. Best juice? I don't know yet. I think after a week of steeping or so, that time will tell. I think the potential is there. I love that you can add menthol to literally ANYTHING on their website. If you want mentholated bacon, damn, dude, have it and their customization options are near limitless, any PG/VG combination, menthol, cool-hit, flavor strength, several nicotine strengths, sizes. If you want it, any way you want it, they'll make it.
Just steep for a while.
And that's that!
