Hi everyone. First off, thank you to everyone on this site. Everyone of you helped my transition from smoking analogs to vaping. Smoke free for two weeks and I will never go back. Anyways, I've tried a bunch of different juices, so far I think my everyday juices are Boba's Bounty and Craveloupe from alien Visions. I was wondering if anyone has tried anything from ECBlends that could be similar. Their prices are very cheap and I would like to try them. Thanks in advance for your help.

I recently bought:

RY4 100% PG XF 12mg - Very flavorful. Reasonably nice on the inhale, better on the exhale, best aftertaste. Good, buttery caramel aftertaste.

Texas Pecan Pie 80PG/20VG XF 12 mg. Very flavorful. Some reviews say, "Just like pecan pie." Not getting that. I'd say more like the RY4 with a more pronounced flavor of Hot Chocolate (the winter drink) with a twinge of bitter. A bit more flavorful than the RY4.

Wizard's Cave 80PG/20VG 12 mg XF. Like coffee with cream with a dash of dark chocolate.

Banana Nut Bread 80PG/20VG 12 mg XF. Like the name says. You get the banana and the nut and the sweet bread.

Caramel Cheesecake 80PG/20VG 12 mg XF. More caramel than cheesecake. Liquid smells like cheesecake, but I don't get the cheesecake taste. You can definitely taste the graham cracker crust, though.

Word of caution. Upon arrival, I was disappointed. All of them, except banana nut bread, seemed to be perfumy/chocolaty in a "fake" sort of way. I have since let them all sit for almost 2 weeks. The RY4 and Pecan Pie I have just vaped again this evening. They have tamed rather nicely. I have to say they are VERY flavorful. I could vape them regularly - esp. the RY4. I bet they'd go great after a shot of whiskey, but I don't drink whiskey.

I do notice the liquids are runnier - probably due to high PG ratio. When ordering again, I might go with 70/30.

Now, the ones I described are very sweet and flavorful. I can't emphasize that enough. Caramel, creamy, long after-taste. It's all there. If you are looking for plain-old, dry, drab tobacco, these are not flavors for you. If you like a "dash" of tobacco with a lot of sweet caramel, go for it.

One more thing. Fresh on arrival, I couldn't even get any vapor from the 100 PG RY4. I was like, "I wasted my money on that one." Tonight, I am blowing smoke clouds in combination with the richer, smoother flavor.

Steeping will be very important with ECBlends.

I am very curious about the White Peach a la Zoe....

My friends order from EC Blend and they let me try about fifty or so flavors over the last few weeks. There were a few that were ok and they kept telling us to order from them. Finally, I got them to order from PinkSpot and try CloudsofVapor and they were really impressed. They are getting rid of all of their ec-blend stuff. I personally think it isn't bad for a puff or two but after that it becomes really overpoweringly gross. You might try Mt. Baker Vapor. They have really good prices that are almost as cheap as ec blend but much better quality. I only had some ec-blend to vape for a minute and I ended up having three analogs in one day to cope with cravings because I couldn't vape enough to get nic. Taste is subjective though and, I'm really picky.

Mt. Baker ... RY4 ... That stuff was nasty. Tasted like tart, piss-water with coconut, chocolate cream...

To be fair... I did try their RY4, and you're being too kind when you added the coconut and chocolate cream... I'd say tart, piss-water, asphalt, and a touch of compost. Avoid the RY4, however, I do enjoy their Cream Soda, Strawberry, and Root Beer.

An update from my previous post here:

I tried Wizard's cave again. The cinnamon comes through now, and it is a spot-on cinnamon-sugar - like the kind you'd put on breakfast toast. This flavor combines with a caramel/vanilla/light-chocolate flavor. It's really better than earlier now that it has steeped.

Coconut Caramel Cookies, 80 PG/20 VG, 12 mg, XF: Did not review before since I had not yet tried it. The coconut shines through. Caramel is lighter in intensity but definitely smooths-out the combination. We used it as a mixer to "desertify" a tobacco flavor, and it worked quite nicely. I ordered more of this.

I also have Feel Like a Nut 80/20, 12 mg, XF. Have not tried since time allowed to steep. I am sure it will be fine.


Now that I am comfortable with ECBlends, I have placed quite a larger order. One thing of note: I have found that I really like Liberty Flights' RY4 quite a lot. I am thinking this is in part because they do not have an "Extra Flavor" option, and the less "in your face" approach makes you keep coming back to it without any sense of flavor fatigue. On that hunch, my new ECBlends order is now all WITHOUT extra flavor. I also adjusted to 70/30 as I said I would.

This is my new selection which will be coming. Quite a lot there, and with all those, I will be able to perform a fair amount of my own DIY mixing among them.
