Anybody order directly from Dekang?

[karent]

Hi everyone, Has anyone here bought their liquid directly from the company Boge Dekang?

I contacted a lady tonight at Dekang and gave her my order of 100 bottles of liquid, 10ml in size. So 1,000 ml of juice! lol
She actually said i could do 10 different liquids, so i am happy about that but....
The price she came back to me was a little higher than i thought it would be. 120.00 for the liquid which is a great deal, but 65.00 for shipping and 8.20 for paypal fee. which totals it at 193.00! Does that sound high to anyone or is that the going total price?
Also, she said there is a slight chance that there could be a problem with customs? That i may need to pay a tax on the nicotine once it arrives in the U.S. or i might be alright. Does anyone know anything about that? That worries me. She said once i paid , the order should arrive within 20 days?
Thanks everyone for any help or information they might have in advance!!!
Karen.

Anybody? lol

Research that on here first, there are good and bad experiences, I have considered doing this myself, but am still on the fence

it's a good deal is you like Chinese juice...more than 50% of what I tried tasted like chemicals. Better off supporting the small US vendors imo.

If you're totally set on Dekang juice then it's not bad, but when you're spolied with so much good juice here in USA i don't think it's worth it, vendors like Blue Mist will do 180ml for 30 bux, just gotta find flavors you like !

I can't/won't speak on the deal itself, but I would like to mention that she is violating Paypal's TOS if they're charging the Paypal fee back to you and could lose their ability to accept Paypal in the future.

4.6 No Surcharges. You agree that you will not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting PayPal as a payment method. You may charge a handling fee in connection with the sale of goods or services, as long as the handling fee does not operate as a surcharge and is not higher than the handling fee you charge for non-PayPal transactions.

Under $2 / 10ml bottle sounds good.

Have you tried the flavor already? If have then good Dekang are noted for their tobacco flavors.

Recently order 50ml Dekang of my wifes go to vape from Madvapes. $8.99 on sale.

So 1000ml is 20x$9=$180 with free shipping and no customs headache.

Agreed, Big Screen D. With MadVapes's fairly frequent sales, why anyone would order directly from Dekang is beyond me.

I would imagine it to be sure of getting the real thing.

Perhaps try a small order at MV and see if it is indeed the same liquid. If it is, then that's a better option of course; but make sure first.

Guess maybe if one has 1 or two blends that is used as a go to, or exclusive vape, buying by the liter may make it worth while. My wife is hard core Dekang 555, so she would fall into that category.

DIY for me. Generally less than $1 for 10ml that a way.

It is the real deal.

Madvapes and Litecigusa both sell genuine Dekang e-liquids.

1 liter is ~1 year's vaping. Or towards that. So it is pushing the shelf-life (though being in many small unopened bottles is good). Be sure to store in a dark, cool place.

btw, the key thing with the storage temp is not s much the cool per se but that the temperature is stable; stable and cool is ideal.

Then I'd definately buy it there; mostly to avoid any possible customs hassles.

But I wonder how they can be cheaper ? After all, 100 bottles is practically wholesale.

Are these in original packaging, or made from concentrate ?

I think Dekang now has a manufacturer of their juice here in the US. I think I saw it on their website.

 

[Big Screen D]

Guess maybe because he is one of the larger suppliers. I'd bet they order in thousands. And remember, I was quoting sale prices on 50ml bottles. The regular price is 10.99 if memory serves. Less 5% discount if subscribed to there news letter also.

Interesting. Now that is one way to avoid customs hassles!

Now if we can just keep the FDA in it's cage...

I found NickStick - that has DeKang in a co-branded bottle, but their price is $13 / 10 ml !

Had a look at MV and atm it is $9 / 50 ml

They say it is DeKang but add 'bottles and labels may vary', which is slightly worrying?

Many flavors are out of stock.

MV have a good range of modding stuff which is nice.

Variable voltage diy box mod $18 : http://www.madvapes.com/Variable-Volt-Box-Mod-Kit_p_3348.html Pre-drilled box; all parts; PCB (w/o batteries afaik, and not PWM, but a great price).

And -wow - they are at nearly 1,000 orders / day ! The e-cig market is bigger than I thought.

Hi mostlyclassics, I have tried several different vendors and many, many more liquids. I was having a decent amount of side effects the 1st few months of vaping. Mostly dizziness, headaches, and an overall strange feeling. I thought vaping was not going to work for me, but did not and won't go back to analogs!!! Then i ordered the Dekang liquid from a vendor and a few days in to vaping the batch of liquid all symptoms disappeared. No more headaches, ect. ect. So a few orders go by and the same flavors i had ordered in the past started to change. My favorite flavor was the Coffee. It went from a light orange to a dark, dark red/brown. So i contacted vendor and they said that must just be the batch. So i decided to purchase another bottle of the same liquid. Liquid comes, same flavor, only this time....Different color and taste!!!! So that is why i figured i would just order from the Company to make SURE i am getting an unaltered product. All of this is frusterating to me!!! You would think the same flavor manufactured by a large company would be the same every time?!?!?
Anyways, thats my story! lol

 

[karent]

Hey Kinabaloo!!! Yes the price seems really cheap to me!! My favorite is the Coffee and the Mocha Coffee! I also like the Desert Ship. I guess i am just a little worried to purchase such a large quantity of liquid. And my luck, the order will never come or something! lol lol
