I have a bunch of yndk ejuice i got from china.. like ry4, desert ship, green mint, menthol, strawberry and more

They all have a kind of acidic/citrus after taste

Does all ejuice have that taste? For the first month or so it was ok but now i am starting really not to like that citrus flavour and have started on analogues again


How can i get ejuice without that bitter after taste?

hmmm... first, I've only vaped a little bit of China juice, so I can't give an answer as far as that goes.

I've really only tried a few non-China... stuff from Volcano was really good, same for eliquidplanet. Never detected any acidic or citrus aftertaste in those (unless it was supposed to have it.

I started mixing my own, so I'm sort of out of the juice-buying game. I have tried some US-made, all very good with no disagreeable aftertaste.

Not much help, I know... wish I could tell you how to kill that aftertaste...

I am not commenting on the quality of juices from China, since I have little experience with them. But, a large amount of people seem to find the flavor of most china based juices (such as Dekang) terrible it seems and a low quality. You can find China based juices on some sites for less than half the cost of the more higher quality juices. It's a "you get what you pay for" product it seems. but yeah, letting it steep with the cap and nozzle off for a few days at least might help. I would recommend a higher quality juice site such as freedomsmokeusa.com.

One other thing to keep in mind. Order Small bottles, like 5-10ml and the 3ml samplers at first. Order like 5-10 different flavors in these smaller bottles to get a hang of what flavors you will like. It's overall more expensive this way, but at least you won't get stuck with a big bottle of something you hate like I did. I assumed that the Pall Mall juice would taste like the same analogs that I have smoked for so long. How wrong I was! Once you find a few flavors you really like, then begin ordering those in bigger bottles, but also keep ordering smaller bottles of things that sound interesting just so you find other flavors you might like for your next big bottle order. Flavors like Baby Back Ribs sound like it would be NASTY to me to vape, but many people are howling about how great it is, so because of this, on my next order, I will be getting a small bottle of it just to find out. It's going to be hit and miss for a little bit. And DO NOT assume that you need tobacco flavors. Trust me on this. I began this a few weeks ago and the first flavor was that Pall Mall one, and I hated it. Then I tried the cappuccino flavor and fell in love.

I have only used FSUSA and Gourmet Vapor so far myself. The juices I got from FSUSA was all good right off the bat and I used a 50/50 pg/vg mix and it gave me a good TH, vapor and flavor. My juices from GV however, only 3 of them were vapable right off the bat and the others I am guessing have to steep for a few weeks because they were terrible. Also, those I got in an 80/20 pg/vg ratio and I noticed it was a little heavier on the lungs. I did not notice a difference in flavor, vapor, or TH from using either really, but they are from different places and all different mixes, so that will have something to do with it. Also, all batches were at 24mg nicotine.

As for who will ship to your country, I am not sure really. I am sure some US suppliers will do so, so I would recommend going into their specific forums and/or websites and either try to find the info or ask them about it. Be aware that orders of juice like this into or out of the U.S. sometimes causes a hold by customs while they try and determine if it's an illegal substance, so large orders especially might get caught up in this. This is probably the reason why some suppliers don't ship out of country.
 
I found a flavor additive from happyvaper.com called VapeWizard. It says it helps with getting more vapor but the description also states it helps tone down some harsh tastes. I have a large bottle of Atomic Cinnacide from tasty vapor that I'm letting sit and steep since there's still a harsh inhale on it, but I'll see if this vapewizard stuff works and let you know.

I only had dekang juices for the week I first started vaping. I am not fond of them at all. There is nothing that I can do to save those juices for myself. Although the strange thing is I like the prefilled carts every once in a while.
I hope you can find a supplier that will ship to you, because the differences between dekang and US is like night and day.

Just noticed you were from Oz and I 've had the same trouble getting stuff from the states and the shipping costs are higher than China for us.

What I have been doing is getting the Unflavoured High Nic juice from China 60mg & 36mg and mix them with 0mg Doublers from JuiceWhore.com. Juice ..... has some great flavours and is based in Cooma NSW so local supplier.

Now, how this works for my wife and I is this. Wife prefers 18mg juice so I simply mix the flavoured Doubler 50/50 with the 36mg nic liquid = 18mg flavoured juice.

I prefer 24mg so I mix the 60mg & 36mg nic liquid 50/50 = 48mg nic liquid. I then mix the 48mg with the Doubler = 24mg flavoured juice.

Works for me.

I would be afraid to buy anything that I will put into my body from some company called Juice ...... Sure, say I have a dirty mind, but come on! Really?

I am also afraid to buy anything from China because I have a suspicion that they are trying to kill Americans. Just look at their track record of products they export. Toys containing lead for our children to use, among other things. Last night I was watching on the news about these asian "health stores" selling these weight loss pills that contain a chemical that's apparently illegal in thsi country due to issues with heart failure, and the FBI has been trying to keep them out of the country at the ports, but they obviously can't catch it all, so it is getting into stores. These pills are being exported from China.

Ugh, anyway, I try to be pretty leery about what i am getting, but when it comes to smoking and/or vaping, you can't be too picky. But you can try to be as picky as possible. ;)

I completely agree and I'm not defending some of the problems of the past. As with all things check out your suppliers to make sure that the quality is as high as possible. That's what I do and my Chinese supplier has a very high reputation and is an endorsed supplier on ECF.

I stand to be corrected, but I believe most of the nic liquid originates from China, as does most of the PV gear that we all use. I also don't believe it is in a supplier's interest to kill off it's customers. I wouldn't know how to build a long term business plan using that scenario!!!LOL

Try telling that to cigarette manufacturers!!

Anyway.. so the citrus taste is due to being old stock? It says on the bottle expires 24 months after use. Someone suggested leaving the cap off a while.

I want to try TW juice but im not paying $20 to send some small bottle that only costs $5 to ship they send it the longest slowest chepest way anyway.
