Can hangsen/dekang juices be improved by adding flavours?

[arnold37]

So far I’ve tried a few different fasttech juices and the only one I really liked was Liqua, which they have since stopped selling. I don’t find the hangsen/dekang juices unpleasant exactly, just bland and tasteless.

However, there’s a Singapore supplier (kampongshop ) selling flavours, but no nicotine. Is trying to add flavour to cheap Chinese juice a good idea?

I live in an asian country that recently banned import of e cig supplies, so I can't really order expensive ready made juices from the west.

I don't see a problem with trying it. Just pick a flavor you like that compliments the mild taste of the mostly tasteless juice and add a few drops...

I found out that Dekang/Hangsen flavors improves a lot after steeping. My experience was little more extreme than yours. Out of the box the dekang ones had strong chemical smell and taste to it. Apart from the strong mint absolutely nothing was vapable. Considering I ordered all of them in 50ml bottles, I was really disappointed. Then I found somewhere in ECF about steeping. First I tried the warm water method and after keeping them in hot water for an hour or so, I tried all the flavors. The flavor of strong mint improved a lot but other fruits flavors still had that chemical smell. I kept the bottles with caps open for a day and then caps on for another week now. Almost all of the flavors are good now, except the strawberry one which I think needs more time. But the flavor definitely improves after steeping at least for Dekang and Hangsen. There is no question about it. There is no issue in mixing flavors with them either. I'm trying my hands on diy e-liquid now and I tried mixing unflavored nicotine base with dekang liquid and some flavor and a little VG to come at 50/50 PG/VG ratio with 11mg strength and it came out pretty good. I'm not sure though if you can do that with all flavors. I tried dekang strong mint only for this and as the flavor in this one is very strong, it kept well when mixing. I'm not sure mixing other fruit flavors will be detectable if mixed, unless you mixed the exact same flavor as the liquid had.
