Hi Takethe RedPill. Cute name. What red pill? I have tried diluting it with the no nic PG and the taste remains the same. And I did use clean attys. So it's not something left in the atty. I have just discovered what you call a peppery taste and it's not bad at all. I find it leaves a bit of a taste in my mouth just like a real cig does. When I bought the crappy juices, I also bought some nic PG and some nic VG as well. Now I just discovered something. I've just been experimenting and I'm probably getting a nicotine overdose, but I tried vaping the tasteless nic PG I got from Canada. I just dripped it on the atty with a bit of no nic PG. It's fine. Non of that taste I had with the other bad juices. I did the very same thing with the VG nic juice I got with the crappy juices and it tastes fine too. So I have just found out, that what I am tasting that is so bad is not nicotine. The last thing I tried was the nic PG I got with the crappy juices and did the same thing I did with the others. I also used a clean atty. I notice that it does taste a bit of what I'm tasting in the crappy juices, but not near as bad. So, my conclusion is that the crappy taste is in the nic PG they used for the juices or in the flavorings they use. In either case, I now know it's not the nicotine. Glad I found that out. Now, I'm pretty convinced that the crappy juices I got were a bad batch. If this juice is what they sell to everybody, I can't see them keeping any customers. This company has only been around a year and their customer service is top notch. I don't think they want to loose customers. Next up is to contact them and see if they will replace the 15 crappy juices I bought from them. Cost me $90 for them. Worth trying. I think that their nic PG has something wrong with it or it was a bad batch. If they are willing to replace them, I will ask for it to be in a nic VG base since that one tasted fine. Or maybe in no nic and I can add my own Canadian tasteless nic juice to them.

Ah, so your deduces weren't so wild after all, eh? LOL

Sam, shoot me a PM. I have some liquids to spare if you want to test out your theory in that manner. I'd be happy to send them to my neighbor up north free of charge just to get to the bottom of this.

Oh, keep an eye out for an announcement from E-Liquid Planet. They will soon release a liquid product that is 100% made in the USA, nicotine and all! I have a couple of 1ml sample sizes that is to die for. And, no... you can't have those. =)

Problem is US companies don't usually ship to Canada and customs can be a problem.

Hey again Sam!

the TaketheRedPill name is a double-reference to the movie, The Matrix''s reference to White Rabbit (Jefferson Airplane)/Alice in Wonderland, and to Obama's several references to blue pills being cheaper than red pills when talking about sacrifices to be made by Americans in health care choices under the proposed Obamacare.

Dekang Juices

We were talking about a problem like this in e-Liquid Reviews, specifically for Dekang liquids. My first batch of chocolate liquid was great. The subsequent batches were horrible, with a cherry cola cough syrup sweet kind of taste.

While the menthol and camel flavors don't seem to have this problem, the new chocolate and brandy are horrible.

I got some juice that smells like musty socks. Why is that? I was told by the supplier that it is normal, but I just can't get past the stale musty smell. Is it a bad batch? Any other takes on this problem?

I know you have all the nicotine. When you get it in your mouth it taste terrible. I usually use a tobacco flavor which I think you can taste the nicotine more than most other flavors. Any liquid with nic is going to taste different than non-nic. You probably got use to the non-nic and that with nicotine is a completly different taste.

I would try adding some different flavors to the nic liquid you already have and see if that helps any. I have marlboro and I add vanilla or caramel to it to give it a sweet taste. I think the sweeter the flavor gets rid of the nicotine taste.

I agree with Val. Dekang liquids have changed greatly in the last 6 months. I can't stand any of it anymore. Horrible stuff and I won't buy it anymore.

I've been buying from Tasty Vapor. Perfect flavoring and a killer deal as well. 30ml bottle of 45mg nic juice and a bottle of his "Doubler" mixed is 150ml of 9mg juice for an unbelieveable price of $27.

Nicotine liquid is $15 for 30ml of 45mg nic juice, and Doublers are $12 for 4oz (120.4ml). He has a flavor of the week nicotine liquid sale for only $10 with the code WEEKSPEC (Pina Colada this week). No discount on the Doubler.

I've also used his Doublers to fix up crummy juice since TV's is what Dekang's liquids should taste like!! Oh, and you can customize up to 3 flavors to mix (the Chocolate/Banana/Pecan and Chocolate/Caramel/Walnut is to die for).

I just got a bunch of flavorings. I got a few chocolate type flavorings that I thought would be good because the sampler of chocolate I had was very good. Now I'm finding all these chocolatey flavorings don't taste very good. I'm really disappointed. They don't taste anything like the sample I had. Don't know what they use for the choc. flavor, but it doesn't taste choc. to me. I got a lot of flavorings and haven't found one yet that I'm thrilled with. I'm sure not having much luck. I still have a few I haven't tried yet, so here's hoping. Now, on top of all that, I'm finding I have a metalic taste in my mouth from vaping. Anyone else find this?
