ECBlends

[Deepfried]

Ive been really enjoying my juices from ECblends. Ive got a lot of local juices but my EC blends is my go to juice. Lots of different flavors and they have 100% all natural and organic juices as well. So far the blueberry cheesecake and chocolate covered strawberries are my favorite. I also ordered some create your own flavors. I mixed cherry, lime, grape and watermelon and added a sour shot to make Sour Skittles! Its spot on.. Smells just like a bag of sour skittles!


Has anyone else tried EC? What flavors have you tried and how do you like them?

Kettle Corn! Can't do without it. Ordering 50ml. bottles on a regular basis now.

Same with one I put together from the Kahlua wizard - Kahlua, espresso, whiskey, 2 shots of sweetener.

I havent tried the kettle corn but maybe ill give it a whirl!

Love Vanilla Gorilla from EC Blends.

The only thing I don't like is that you absolutely have to steep most all of them.

Their prices can't be beat though and it makes it so that if you get one or two that aren't good, you really don't lose much.

Will try the two flavors you mentioned.

Any others you think are really outstanding?

I have a Vanilla Malt steeping right now and am truly hoping that it gets better with age.

Right now it smells awful!

Oh well, that's the way it goes and it is just a 15ml so if I have to toss it, not much lost.

Finding really outstanding juices is frustrating, time consuming, and expensive!

Thanks for your recommendations!

Forgot to add that I like the Caranilla too.

One that I was disappointed with is the caramel.

It tastes like chemicals to me.

Wonder if I got a bad one because there is just no caramel flavor to it.

Been steeping for 3 weeks now and no better.

Oh well, like I said not much lost if I have to throw it away.

ECBlend Review thread

That thread has a lot of opinions and reviews. I like AVE, Halo, HHV and Allusion seems particularly terrific, but ECBlend is the best value and variety IMO. The Dragon's series is some of the best juices I've tried and I like their tobaccos also. Dragon's Crown and RY4 are among my top five juices, and I'm a self-proclaimed juice ......

Their Dragons blood is awesome! I also have their egg nog as well as their Bahama mama. I ordered 12 mg thinking I would be able to drop down that fast but I still use them toward the end of the day. I rotate them.

Thats too bad about the caramel. One flavor i was going to suggest is caramel coconut cookie. It tastes incredible. The caramel was very rich and smooth for me with the coconut and cookie following. Very nice juice. One other i will recommend is one i created myself. I called it sunrise and it is strawberry and orange. Absolutely incredible.

I'm about to place my third order. The Caranilla and Dragon's Breath are my favorites. Twisted Punch is nice. Mojito tastes good with Dragon's Breath. Caramel Macchiato is good alone. I tried Banana Nut Bread, Cinnamon Danish, Mind Bender, Dragon's Crown which taste like the flavor should, but just not my first picks. Vanilla Cupcake, Pralines & Cream, and Vanilla Butternut were nice, but need more flavor for me. I order 50/50 in 12mg no extra flavor, but this time I'm getting Caranilla with extra flavor.

 

[Lombaowski]

I order all with extra flavor, that is the right move most of the time.

 

[mimifromnc]

I'm learning, extra flavor and ordering in time to allow it to steep. Now, I'm trying to find a coupon.

I have some bottles recently ordered (some are ones I made with their creation wizard, and others were pre-made) sitting in my steep-chamber right now. Got about another week before I start trying them. A few smell pretty good, while others smell a bit funky or perfumey.

One thing I noticed about ECBlend is that their juice is extremely fragrant, and their bottles don't keep that smell in at all. Most ejuice bottles, even ones in glass, can let out some scents, but ECblend uses some kind of really soft plastic that doesn't hold back the scent whatsoever.

I have to be careful not to stick a bunch of flavors in a closed chamber together, otherwise they will all absorb each others scents and create some kind of beast that stinks to high-heaven. That scent also gets imparted on the flavor as well. I am steeping them individually in sealed mason jars to keep them from influencing each other in terms of smell/taste.

 

[Bravesfan]

Thanks guys for giving me some more flavors to try from EC Blends.

It really helps to have some guidance when ordering.

They have so many options, I sometimes just don't even know where to start.

Mimi, I have tried Dragon's Blood and Dragon's Tear but will try Dragon's Breath next, thanks for the suggestion.

Again, thanks!

What do you all find is the sweet spot for steeping Ec Blends generally?

I am letting the batch I have now go for two weeks before I even try any of them.

Is that long enough?

Cindy

 

[mimifromnc]

Bravesfan, you're welcome. Some flavors needed the full two weeks if not more before I truly got a flavor. Others needed about a week.

 

[Bravesfan]

Thanks so much Mimi!

Let me know if you find anymore spectacular flavors from ECB.

[Camaroboi13]

Wow seems like you guys are liking the EC flavors a lot more than I did! I ordered 12 flavors, probably won't remember off the top of my head but I'll try:

Cantelope Wizard - OK, but I got bored after less than a week
Orange Cream - Was like eating a tub of cool whip with 3 drops of orange, hated it.
Peaches N Cream - Same as above, too much cream.
Green Apple - Steeped over 2 months, couldn't get past the perfume flavor no matter what I did.
Blueberry - I'm not a fan, this was for my wife and she said it was meh.
Strawberry Banana - Banana hits hard, still waiting for that strawberry to kick in.
Pomegranite - Maybe it's me, but I was looking for more of a tangy bite from this one.
Wild Cherry - Tastes like Dayquil cough medicine.
Dragon's Tear - 2 months of steeping, still don't taste it even with extra strawberry.
Dragon's Delight - Never even opened it after previous poor tastes.
Dragon's Choice - All banana, no blueberry taste at all.

I'm missing one flavor I think...but that's the jist of it. Was not impressed in the slightest and now have 50 bucks worth of liquids sitting in a drawer

 

[Bravesfan]

I hear you Camaroboi,

That's why I really appreciate it when I get some guidance regarding ECB.

There is so much to choose from and believe me that I have gotten a few that were not good at all.

But they are so reasonable that the few I had to pitch weren't too much of a loss.

Taste is such a subjective thing though, you just have to try juices til you find some you really like.

Sorry you had bad luck with ECB.

Have you tried Kick Bass Vapor?

I really love their Hummingbird Nectar and OMG.

Never had a bad juice from them and pretty reasonably priced.

I know it is so frustrating when you feel like you have just thrown your money away.

Good Luck to you in your search!

Camaroboi13, looking at your list it's all fruit flavors...and I have not found a fruit or fruit mix that I would buy again. Of the ones I've tried most have a chemical/artificial taste or aftertaste. I've been trying more bakery flavors, nuts, coffees/teas, mints, and lemon/lime mixed with a tea.

I read somewhere on their site that the 'blend master' steeps for two weeks, and that is when the flavor shines. So to be on the safe side, just set them aside for at least two weeks and try.

Would be nice to order already aged juices, stinks having some new juice arrive, only to have to wait another two weeks for the flavor to develop.

I've had my juices steeping for 3 days now, and after opening up the mason jars and shaking them, I have already noticed some flavors are smelling a lot better.
