Got some Dekang on fast tech. Dr pepper, honey Mellon, Cola, berry and kiwi. Not impressed... vaping on evic with protank at 2.4 ohm about 3.8 volts. Weak flavor and funny after taste. Will steeping help? I've pulled the caps and put them all in a drawer. I really want to like this juice but for now its 200ml of emergency reserve... Thoughts?

I ordered some Dekang, which I think turned out to be counterfeit. Quite common I think. Anyway, it was terrible when I got it, but I let it steep with the cap off for a week and it is better (not great but vape-able). I'm steeping it more. Just one data point.

I also ordered some tab from them and was very disappointed.
I did hate it less after a little steeping but still disappointed. Maybe more steeping will improve it, doubtful tho.
Sometimes I add a few drops to some of the stuff I diy just so I don't consider this purchase a complete loss.
I don't dislike fasttech but I won't be getting juice from them anymore.

Funny I started with Dekang, now I can't stand most of it.

I buy Liqua from FT, it's good and the price is amazing for 30ml bottles. I think the Cola, Strawberry, Berry are the best but I have almost all of the line. I like most of the tobacco blends, American, French and Cuban I like the best. The Coffee has a Dekangish flavor but I like it and the Tiramisu I have not tried yet but I hear it's good too.

I like Liqua but that may just be me, I don't see many mentions of it.

I think that except for the real loyal die-hards, eliquids have just evolved too much to keep Dekang, with it's very artificial-tasting flavors, much in the running. I can't vape that stuff, myself. And of course that's where I started.
Some will always prefer them, for the price if nothing else, and someday that may be all that's available to us - corporate dominance, very much about to be at issue now in e-cig world (and maybe, just maybe not), is all about outsourcing. Sigh.
Do know that a lot of vendors who talk about making their own juices "right here in the US" mean that they're recombining Dekang flavors, too.
