Hi guys.
I started smoking this on 22 January 2010.
I first bumped into the E cigg on the web and then came across this forum.
I wasn’t too sure about the promises made but when hundreds of people are all telling you the same thing and you cant find anything really against it you start to wonder. So I ordered from heaven in china and got started.
I remember the day the package arrived; I assembled it and had just bought a new packet of horizon red. As soon as I took a drag on the E-cigg I knew straight away I had just wasted my money on the last packet of cigarettes because I knew I would never need them. That was 4 months ago and I have never smoked a real cigarette since.
I gave the last pack away and have never even thought to buy again the only time I think of cigarettes is when I go to the shop and buy something and give them $50 and they give me $40-something back… Whoo whats going on here I never got any money back like that before .. Ahh that’s right not buying cigarettes anymore Heyy.
And I am in Australia where cigarettes are very expensive Like if you bought 2 X 50 cigg packs $50 would not be enough.
When I buy from china the juice is Dekang E-juice.
I smoke 24mg MLB and am content with it but I remember somewhere in this forum someone saying something about two different bases for the E-juice.
It was either mineral base and animal base or vegetable base or something like that .
My question is what are the bases and what is the difference is it worth me to look elsewhere for E-Juice. I know china is cheap but like I am only spending about $1 per week on Juice so I don’t mind to pay more if there is better quality out there.
And thank you all for the wonderful introduction to the E-Cigg through this forum.
Now when the doctor asks me do you smoke I pull it out and show him and say You tell me if I still smoke. They usually say that’s good as long as you aren’t smoking real cigarettes. And yes the E-Fluid is illegal here in Australia but it seems to get through customs OK in small quantities. Any help in upgrading the knowledge of and quality of the Dekang E-juice would be greatly appreciated.

The bases are:

Propylene Glycol (PG), which is in pretty much everything including food and medicine & is what I use. Nice throat hit & vapour, but some people have allergies.
Polyethylene glycol (PEG), usually has more industrial uses, but is also found in medicines & toothpaste. Produces more vapour than PG.
vegetable glycerin (VG) has more vapour, but less throat hit. It is used as a sweetener and as an ingredient in cosmetics. Glycerin suppositories are used as laxatives


AFAIK China is the only place actually producing the nicotine solution (by extracting the nicotine directly from tobacco leaves)
Quality control may be better if you buy from a vendor in Australia & if you get a bad batch, they're more likely to give you a refund.

OTOH, If they screw up in China & their product ends up killing people, the top staff @ the company are executed & organs "donated." :D

Hi, here's link that might help answer some of your questions,

DIY e-liquid - E-Cigarette Forum

Remember that Pg is more for flavor and VG is more for vapor, I use a 60 PG/40 VG mix with 24 nic, works great for me. I would think the unit you use will also play a big part.

It would help to state what you are looking for, as in more flavor or more vapor.

I use a Joye 510 with LR atty's from eastmall.com, the LR atty's make it like a 510 on steroids, very easy draw, flavor and vapor.

I also own a RIVA and use the LR atty's on it but so far the 510 is out performing it hands down. Don't get me wrong the riva is a great device and very well made just seems like the LR atty's are making the 510 much easier to draw and producing the same amount of vapor, these 2 cigs will work great together when I need longer battery power.

Good Luck
