901 2.0 atty is particular

[lexgar]

Got a few of Iken's 2.0 attys a while back and thought I'd report. I received 2 501s and 901 to try out along with some cartomisers.

Really like the 501s and testing the cartos, but the 901 has a definite personality of its own. There are juices that it just does not seem to like!

Nhaler's Drewbacco tastes very nice and smooth and the Green Tea Lung juice is very nice as well. But... when I drip in some of Tasty Vapor's tobacco it is very harsh and the throat hit is way too much for me. This is not the case with the 510 which seems odd in that all of the other 901s I have used have been cooler and more flavorful than the 510. It does not like the Tasty Vapor Cafe Macchiato much either although not as apparent as the Tobacco. All of my juice is 12mg.

Perhaps it is just this one atty, but my it is a finicky beast.

Agreed, something may seem awry with the atom. Although I do have two clients that experienced a fairly heavy death rate of our xhv line that both used one of the liquid brands mentioned above.

Make that 3 clients.

Many drippers increase the viscosity of their liquids to nearly pure VG, this prevents excessive overflow and leaking. It also prevents proper cooling of the atomiser, as the liquid doesn't flow as well Many will remove the bridge and screen for these exact same reasons. But who I am to know, I have only been vaping a short while. For those who are allergic to PG and who cut their VG 4/1 with distilled water = viscosity of PG, will benefit from extended atomiser life.

I have cut my HV juice in half with Dekang and the problem has gone away. Huuuuum!

The Tasty Vapor juice is at 15%VG, any more is too thick for me. It is still pretty thin. Drew's Lung Juice is thin as well, not sure how much PG, site does not say. His High Voltage Juice is thicker and probably has substantial VG in the mix.

I do want my attys to have a good working life, but I prefer these juices to most of the imported product. I am a bit leery about Chinese manufacturing and contamination of products. There have been too many instances that have come to light in recent years. It can happen anywhere if QC is not followed. It seems that the much lower volume of domestic production gives a better chance of Quality Control.

I have had issues with JC juices as well in terms of atty life. I love several of their flavors, but atty life was awful for me.

Absolutely Switch
While these Vg rated liquids do have the benefits of excessive overflow and leaking. It also has a major draw back and that would be the 2nd half of how the atomizers work. The burning. Vg as it self, considering the fact that the sugar content is so high as it is, most just don't burn cleanly like factory made liquids and will leave a nice residual chunk of charcoal in the end. Your also right on for the folks that are allergic to Pg. distilled water is the Best alternative. Personal preference is 70Pg/30vg.


I wouldnt be too worried Lex. Most bigger Chinese manufacture have an excellent Qc. As if their lives depended on it. lol. A while back I believe Vapor4life ran a nice little tour of one of the liquid manufactures.

Unlike most mixers (I'm sorry to all mixer's, I do love your work!)These Chinese standard liquids come in various flavor qualities ranging from worse (Kanger) to premium LiquidXpress. The one thing they have in common is that they are engineered for a specific purpose. Vaporization and nicotine deliverance, which imo does the best job. Everytime I would switch over to a home brew liquid, performance would drop. Then it's back to traditional standard. A few cycles and the atom is back to brand new, well technically speaking. I know its hard to take in because of the want of homebrew's and increased flavors and even though some may object. I believe Chinese liquid thats actually being made in a liquid facility is the best choice for atomizer's all around.
It's like buying a pair of sneakers and wanting laces from a totally different model.

Absolutely! I would like to make something perfectly clear here. If you shop in the bargain basement, expect what you get, nuf said. I am not popular with such comments, because folks hate the truth.

I am not going to deny that TRACES of industrial grade PG were indeed found in A sample. I will also not deny that SOME Chinese juices lack quality, but Dekang is indeed getting a bad rap, because of all the myths, some of them perpetrated by vendors themselves.

I will not go into detail, but some merely rebottle Chinese juice or add flavour and call it US made. Yes, that flavour was assembled in the US, but the base came form China.

In all honesty, USA made juice, is overpriced and kills attys prematurely. I have bought from several vendors with similar results. That is why I mix my own and use Dekang for store bought. OTOH if it makes you sleep better at night, by all means go for it.

I don't want to sound nonchalent here, but there were far worst chemicals and other stuff in cigarettes than what is manufactured as e cig liquid in China, and that was from US companies. Think about it!

Right on Switcher!
Many people from all around will tell you the first word to come to mind when heard the words crappy/nasty Chinese liquid will be Dekang. Truth is Dekang is a premium liquid. They supply Janty and Tw alike and also many other big named suppliers out there. There are Many liquid manufactures in China not just from Dekang. Authentic Dekang is absolutely great stuff.

Isaac is your juice Dekang? I love the juice that you carry

I'm pretty sure that his juice from Dekang. I think he made a reference regarding the juice in the beginning of his 2.0 Atty Youtube video.

Aww thanks Wway! Actually no, it isn't! Here's the kicker, It's from Kanger! lol Besides for the Melon and Hilton, the rest was just blah for me. Wait till you try what we're getting though! The price has to be bumped a little, but it will still be very fair. I believe around the 30-40 cents per ml mark. It's going to be mesmerizing.

You made me have to go back and see! lol
Just Standard Chinese E-liquid (insert relieved smiley here)
I did make a mistake on the video though. The 901 does almost sever limn battery life directly into half. I'm pretty sure that this can be remedied though.

Thank you both for the answers!! It isn't bottled like Dekang, but I am quite shocked it's Kanger I still like it!

Can't wait to see what you get next!
