I curious to know if anyone has tried a good Chinese made liquid? Every one I have tried is not very good, and it makes me wonder if they are even safe to vape. I work for a Chinese owned company, we manufacture durable goods and the quality is shoddy at best, there is like zero quality control and about 10% of our individual items have some kind of defect, and yes we still sell them. Granted there aren't health concerns my company's products but I see how money driven the chinese factories are, and it scares me about e-liquids. They don't even have to list the ingredients on the bottle or certify safety in any way.

I'm sure most are safe but who knows really and they could easily put some PEG or TSNA's and/or other chemicals to save a penny per bottle. the more I think about it, the more it scares me....am i crazy? It's not like they taste like a quality USA made liquid i.e. Ms T or JC. Chinese factories are government monitored to be profitable, and if they aren't profitable, management loses their job, it's that simple. Just look at the pet food industry and the crap they were putting in them.

One thing for sure I will never buy liquid from china knowingly from now on, unless they provide information on ingredients and some kind of certification. :ohmy:

added: There are just too many great USA made e-liquids for every budget for me to consider anything else. what made me write this post and start thinking about this is because I saw in a convenience store a 5 pack of chinese made cartidges, and there was a lung cancer and heart disease warning on the box. Also only said "Nicontine: High", not a % or in mg's, which leaves a lot of wiggle room. LOL

I'm not particularly fond of Chinese juices such as Dekang and Joytech. However, the company in your signatures banner is a huge re-seller of Chinese made juices and two of them happen to be better than any USA counterpart I've tried. Unless you are purchasing from their USA Line, you are getting Chinese stuff. That being said, their Wow Peppermint and Premium Wintergreen are the best flavors I've tried in their class. I've tried over 10 peppermints and 20 wintergreen's and in my opinion, V4L came out on top.

I think that some chinese juice taste better than any usa depending on the flavor. I myself am trying to stick with usa made juices but we are not flawless in the mixing process either. There was a huge up-roar over nic levels via several vendors.

Also, lots of "usa" made juices contains flavorings made in china. I just wish the price goudging would stop. I'm sorry folks, $15-18 for 30mL of USA juice is way to much. This could be sold for less, they would sell a lot more as a result and we would all be happy.

We need a barral of juice cost dangit...lol.

I changed my banner, I was just using as a banner though, I had never bought anything from them. I have bought several china liquids though, and I like none of them. It could be a coincidence..I have RY4, Winson, Kiwi-lime-strawberry, caramel, DDhoff, cake batter, mixed fruit, chocolate, DK apple, DK cherry and eggnog. The JC liquids are just far superior, waiting on Ms T.

Flavorings made in china is different animal because they are food grade and have been around for years used by many different industries. E-liquids are made by small companies for just e-cigs and vapers and are not necessarily using food grade ingredients, who knows. I'm not saying I won't vape chinese liquid, I'm just going to stop buying from now on. If I get a free sample or someone gives me some to try, or even liked the ones i have, i have no problem vape'ing them because its not a long term thing. Besides even if all things equal, I would rather support an american company trying to make ends meet and build a business. Not trying to make a statement or boycott, just concerned.

added: I also am waiting on Vaperite organic presteeped caramel creme 100%VG, can't wait :2cool:

This is a thread that pops up fairly regularly on this forum. People, for no reason other than taste, questioning the safety of Chinese made juices. I understand wanting to buy locally and support local business, if Australian juice vendors were allowed to sell nic juice and sold it at a reasonable price I'd buy locally too. I just think questioning any vendors safety without any proof is very poor form.

In all fairness China has a pretty shady history when it comes to making ANYTHING.

BUT, I say that while vaping Chinese made Dekang liquid, in a Chinese made Vision Stardust, on a Chinese made eGo battery, and I love it. We all should thank China for all it's done in the vaping world. I wouldn't be all that surprised if I found out that I was vaping lead, but that's probably not any worse than what I was smoking previously.

In all serious though, vaping is one of the few markets where Chinese companies are actually recognized on a name basis, usually they make things that are sold for 99 cents at Wal-Mart, and neither they nor any one else cares about the quality let alone who made them. This is one of the few places where these Chinese companies would really want to protect that name value, and provide the incentive to make safe and reliable products.

This is probably one of the videos you were talking about.
DEKANG
The music is really cool. It re-affirms my status as a proud vaper of Dekang.
