Nicotine feel from all listed DeKangs


Uber noticiable its spot on analog feel
5 Stars

Would you say you get an increased nicotine feel from Dekang, compared to US juices?

Reason I ask, in my experience, it seems Chinese juice gives more of a "kick" and I can actually feel the nicotine, like I did with a cigarette, compared to US made craft juices. I'm not sure if Dekang is using a portion of freebase nicotine, or if that's even possible with eliquid, or if there is some other process they use, but overall Chinese juices seem to give me a much more satisfying nicotine hit, albeit at the expense of quality and complexity of flavor.

To me, DK tab doesn't taste anything like tobacco. It tastes like pancakes, belgian waffles, and maple syrup. I had a friend take a few puffs of some DK tab without me telling them what it was, and they seriously thought it was a maple syrup flavor. Not really a huge fan myself, I don't think it's a BAD flavor, it just isn't what I'm looking for with tobacco juices.

If you want to try more Dekang Tobaccos, and haven't already, I'd suggest Desert Ship, it seems to be closer to a real tobacco flavor than DKtab, but still wildly off the mark, like nearly every single juice around when it comes to tobaccos. It's flavor is hard to describe and no specific notes pop out at me, but overall I think it's a decent vape.

Their USA mix is quite good in my opinion, it has more of a robust cigar type flavor.

Lol I cannot really compare it to anything USA
I have gas station juice menthol and coffee-- definitely homemade
they are fantastic tasting but the feel is not there as is with DeKang
it is spot on and I noticed it right away
I get a little anxiety from the gas station juices, im not an anxiety type person :laugh:
DeKang I felt still off but more normalled if that makes sense and it made my eyes cross lol
like when that moment of weakness and a bowl of capt black 1 week in

My DK Tab is bad very bad it doesnt play well with other juices either
I had to alcohol, vinegar, burn with fire and nuke anything it was in
whoa nasty mixer ----lotus king even worse stunk up whole room
that i poured out into garbage mixed w/strawberry I could taste garlic (strange)
maybe they spit in it after smokin and eating garlic chicken rfol
a perfect water drop lol ewwww

lovin apple and a dash of menthol its the bees knees

Strawberry Update


Out the bottle fresh it was pretty good,

2nd day steep its rancid it has gone south its not even a strawberry smell anymore
its an acrid smell that cannot be described
I ran a couple of drops on a plate in the microwave it got worse
if I can say do not get strawberry it will only taste good the 1st day -- there I said it
this is my 2nd DeKang strawberry-- I thought I did something wrong the 1st time around
by pouring out my vaporizer into its bottle after vaping it I thought I had soured it then
that 1st batch it was tasty when I first opened it, i wanted it again



sad face :2c:

I was gonna steep it further but the smell was so good that i could not resist trying it again
Its unbelievably great
its now my favorite e juice
it was out of stock so it was a freshest batch
and it makes me happy i boyscouted into known/unknown
menthol is so blah now

its so smooth
it has a buttery note no chemical taste at all
and from forum reading it only gets better with time
wow the horror --- "omg these people have worse taste buds ever, their tasting devices are broken"
2 unbelievable awesomeness
now i understand why its a lot of peoples favorite
as well as it being the juice that began it all

Strawberry Dekang 7 days steep

its still smells acrid but it vapes delightfully
it is strawberry its rating is now 3.5 scale of 5
it does make me sleepy for some reason
the smell would detour me away from this flavor but the taste is undeniable
-----------------------------

LotusKing Dekang 7 days steep

For the feel of tobacco this flavor is top of of list
its basically a similarity to DK Tab with heavier water cure tobacco flavor
its not good or bad its awesome for the feeling 6 stars
2 stars flavor

My favorite is tank of menthol no nic
drip in DeKang apple high nic
its still is my go to
you'd slap your momma for this flavor
reminiscent of a jollyrancher
the apple flavor goes a long way after three drips

That is likely the high, if not, 100% PG. Most US vendors use a ratio and most Chinese juices are PG (though they do offer VG). Sorry for the generalization, but that is what I've found.

DeKang Strawberry Update

Its been 1 month and 6 days steeping

Its absolutely amazing.. The flavor has taken to being a ripe strawberry fresh off the vine
I cannot believe this is possible -- like a fine wine its not ready until its ready
its made me today more patient than I want to be with every juice I shall purchase in future

I think its a top 10 vape at this youngsters e-juice purchased point

@4.2v 2.2ohm coil thick smoky vapor and full bodied flavor

woot dekang

You need to order Dekang from proper e-juice vendor. So called Dekang I tried from Fasttech tasted absolutely nothing like Dekang I normally vape. It was crap that smelled like a dead fish. Even the Fastech Dekang bottle label didn't look like the original. It was similar tho :)

DK Tab is the only Chinese juice I crave... I just ordered their VG version from Goodejuice. Straight up PG dehydrates me and plays tricks on my skin
