My first introduction to EC Blend's site was from Rixter. He raved about the chocolate malt flavor from this vendor. Even though I have an allergy to chocolate (yes, I know. It's a terrible thing), I decided to give it a try to see if I could vape it. My first order was for a 15 ml bottle of chocolate malt and the same of vanilla malt (6 mg nic, 50 PG/50 VG, extra flavor). They arrived very quickly and I tried the vanilla right away. It was very good, but after letting it steep for a week or so (as recommended on the flier sent with the liquids), it was even better! The chocolate malt was tried very carefully as I didn't know if it would produce a reaction. What a wonderful surprise to find I could vape this!!! Since then I've been ordering all kinds of different flavors...in all nearly three dozen different flavors. Nearly all of them in the 5 ml bottles to see what I liked. There have been only two flavors that didn't taste good to me but all flavors, no matter who the vendor, is very subjective. When I find a flavor I like I order bigger bottles. Pineapple and Dragon's Tear were ordered in 30 ml bottles. Did I mention that EC Blends ships their e-liquids packed inside TWO sealed plastic bags? Good thing, too, because these two separate orders did indeed leak. Not much but just enough to smear the labels. So I emailed them to ask for replacement labels. I keep empty glass bottles with drippers around so it was easy to transfer the liquid. I just wanted the original labels to put on them for reference. They replied that they were aware of the problem with the bottles, changed the types of lids they were using and were sending replacements. Cool. Not only new labels but new bottles to boot! Imagine my surprise when the replacement bottles came filled with e-juice! Now that's great customer service. Their website is full of really good, useful information. They believe in transparency in their business model so you know what they use. I really like that you can also request custom blends at no extra charge. There's a lot of different options you can choose in every flavor. Sometimes it can be a little overwhelming, but on the whole, it's a very nice touch. Their prices are comparable to other vendors, more often on the low side. The choices of flavors is amazing! They even have roast beef, pizza, butter, pepper, Worchestershire sauce and a variety of other...unusual...flavors. I haven't been brave enough to try those yet. Maybe someday. All in all, I can't recommend their site enough. There's oodles of information about nearly everything e-liquid related on their site and their customer service is just amazing. If you decide to try them out, I'd love to hear your experiences.

Hello Vapor Talk community I've been vaping for a couple of months now (easiest switch from a long running, stubborn habit ever), and this is my first post. I was hoping to get a conversation going on the subject of when it's time to change out the atomizer heads. This is the one aspect of vaping that's not super clear to me. The information I was given at the onset was that my hits would all of a sudden taste clearly and obviously "burned". perhaps my brutish pallet's to blame, but it's not been obvious to me at all. Certainly, I can tell after a while that my hits have kind of a burned taste as compared to when the attey's fresh, but it's not obviously bad to me. Is it all just a matter of taste until the atomizer head flat out dies, or is there a point before then when it's objectively wrong to keep using? What about the e-juice getting dark - is that an indicator of some kind? Intuitively, it seems like it must be, but my e-liquid starts getting dark just a few days after changing out the atomizer head. I use the Vivi Nova, and from what I've read, some people get over a month from those attey's. If the e-liquid darkening is an indicator, what am I doing wrong / differently from other vapers that I would only get 3-5 days of "clean" vaping? I'd like to thank, in advance, anyone who chimes in with their thoughts or insights. Let's get this conversation rolling. Vape on, my brothuhs (and sistuhs, obviously), -Izzz

Thanks. I certainly like the looks of the 'black chrome' finish vs. the chrome online.... I suppose it will be like any other shiny mod as far as fingerprints.

I really appreciate your rec, Rixter!

Exactly, those other devices may 'do more things', or have a few more options... but they just simply are not built nearly as well as the Provari. Not a chance. Therefore, I must second the Provari, especially if you want something that is both durable and beautiful ! You really DO get what you pay for when you are talking about the Provari vs. mod-x.
