Best Dekang flavors? Are the USA vendors worth the extra bucks?

[MagicMike]

Howdy All,

Dekang seems to be a top notch producer of ton's of ejuice and while I fully expect some of the hand crafted stuff to be better on a one on one in some flavors. I'm wondering if anyone has found any of Dekang's flavors to be better than the rest and by better I mean you vape it daily.

While I hate to be cheap, 11 bucks vs 5 bucks for roughly the same stuff is a no brainer. Also given the vast majority of the 11 buck gourmet stuff is created in someone's kitchen vs a clean room environment I'm not certain I want to just assume made in a USA is better without asking!

If you have a favorite Degang flavor let me know!

Mike

Although I don't vape it anymore, I used to like DK-TAB a lot.

IMHO, some USA vendors are definitely worth the extra bucks.

I'm not so sure the China stuff is made in any sort of clean room..... But I don't know, just doubtful I guess.

I much prefer either diy or US made juice.

Howdy Voltron,

I appreciate the reply, this forum seems to of descended into a spam fest for eJuice manufactures and while I appreciate the efforts of the hand craft folks I don't wish to waste money either. I'm local to Ginger's eJuice and the Rockin Raspberry is my go to ejuice, but I'm buying new hardware and if there is less expensive eJuice flavors I'd like to know.

Kind Regards,
Mike

I like Dekang Desert Ship, I go back and forth on DK-Tab. I also like their USA mix quite a bit.

There is no arguing that Dekang is a pro at making juice, they probably have nicer facilities and more skilled chemists than any other juice maker (not a dig at anyone) but in my experience their non-tobacco flavors all have a candy-like flavor to them. The difference between a real apple, and a jolly rancher green apple candy. Some people like that, others like a flavor that's more real and fresh.

I also tried their Dr Pepper. It wasn't bad, but I don't think Dr Pepper is something I would like to vape. I love the soda, but without the foamy bubbles allover your tongue it's just not the same. I've never tried a Dr. Pepper flavor I liked, so I think it's just not for me.

Considering how ridiculously cheap it is, might as well give some flavors a try. You aren't likely to get the complexity or originality of SOME US juices. There are some bad juices that I've got that were made in the US. It's best to judge a juice by its flavor, not it's country of origin.

If you do some searching online, you'll find that Dekang almost certainly has the best facility on the planet in regards to the MASS production of eJuice. A huge majority of eCigs on the market come filled with their eJuice.

I'm just trying to find a few good flavors at a reasonable cost, so if anyone has a favorite Dekand eJuice I'd be happy to hear it. I've already performed my due diligence and know they are a top notch supplier in the industry.

Cheers,
Mike

I'm scared of Dekang. Who knows what solvents they use.

Thanks for the feedback, given my two go to vapes are both sweet maybe I might save some money. It's really funny when I starting vaping I was trying to find Marlboro Red, but after a week all of the tobacco flavors tasted like mules behind. Our mule Jackson, has really strong farts that have a lingering smell you don't want to be around He is a great friend otherwise!

I found Dekang RY4 was ok. Definitely a tobacco flavor - more so than others RY4s I've tried. I usually add a bit of a sweet juice I have to it to make it a sweet tobacco kind of flavor. The problem for me at the moment is I vape at 6mg nic and have done for a while - and haven't found Dekang at 6mg. I suppose I could hunt for some 12mg and 0mg if they are available.

Why would a huge multinational corporation, take short cuts when they are making so much money? This is the same FUD that IBM used in the 80's to sell their products. Failure Uncertainly and Doubt. I like to not give into a given tactic when making my decisions. What are my local eJuice manufactures introducing into their products via the bathtub manufacturing process? Every argument has two sides.

I don't wish this to digress into China vs USA, I'd just like to know everyone's favorite Degang flavors.

Cheers,
Mike

You sure know a lot about Dekang's manufacturing process for never having tried any of their flavors...

I know! You should create threads about Dekang on ECF, and then they'll send you a sampler kit for free!

 

[MagicMike]

Thanks UncleChuck for your feedback! That's what I was hoping for.

that would be difficult to do,,China gets both its PG and VG from the states. their mixing labs are far more sanitary then most us mixers

the ISO rating they display is a close equivalent to our FDA.

hangsen is another great China juice makers..if interested in getting juice for 13cents a ml delivered ?? you can pm me if you want ??


madvapes does have some dekang and hangsen juices

I know Dekang comes in 0nic, so you should be able to find a matching flavor to reduce your nic down. I know madvapes carries a lot of Dekang in a few different nic strengths, might want to check them out.

As far as the comments about the chemicals, I believe Dekang gets a lot of their stuff from DOW chemical, which is a company worth into the Billions and Billions of dollars, no small potato fly by night chemical maker by any means. I know for a fact DOW (and a company they own, Rohm and Haas, another chem co) both have locations in China, so it makes sense.

EDIT: Looks like someone else mentioned they source chemicals from American DOW, I was too late!

What's with the comment about getting free juice from Dekang for talking about them on forums? If people were fishing for free juice, I seriously doubt it would be from Dekang. They don't need to play games on internet forums, very confusing comment.

Yep, I've done my homework. I've been helping eCommerce vendors sell online for 1 year shy of 20 years, and have had an internet connection and the same email address (spam ug) for just as long. So Google is my friend. It's quite easy with a bit of knowledge on how to search, to quickly narrow down the actual manufactures of most all of the products available online.

Last time I looked there I didn't see any, but will check them out.I have bought some from them before. I was given some links to Dekang vendors a while back here in this thread:

All that is referring to some-one else's post - not mine. Just clarifying as you responded to me and quoted me. Thanks for the suggestion on where to find the 0mg.

Yeah I probably should have specified, it wasn't directed to you. I added that after an edit, and didn't even consider that I had already quoted you and it could be misunderstood.

Still an odd post though! Not really sure what the implication is as the obvious one is too ridiculous.

Thanks for the link to vaping on the cheap, it has some more information that once I awake, go to work and return to vape land I will read.

GN all, thanks for the feedback

So, anything I search/find online is 100% for sure the truth?

I can't help but recall past reports of children's toys painted/tainted with lead coming out of China. True? Possibly... Maybe even likely. I've been under the impression that products from China are less expensive for many reasons - one of them being regulations(safety/health maybe?) are much more lax.

Not trying to derail your thread.... Just commenting. If you want to dictate the exact course of the thread you might as well just close it. When you ask for personal opinions on personal preferences you get a wide variety of answers.

You sure know a lot about Dekang's manufacturing process for never having tried any of their flavors...

Agreed.
