Dekang juice is the cheap crap from China.
you're better off sticking with the American made stuff that the sites make. it's almost always going to be higher quality if you get it from a reputable supplier.

It's the "defacto king" (no not really) of Chinese imports Changning Dekang Biotechnology Co., Ltd. - E-liquid, E-smoking liquid, electronic cigarette. Because of price, a large portion of our juices..... Some are great, some nasty, some in between - All to your taste. That being said, there are plenty of vendors that sell and make their own. Again this can be a hit or miss, depending on the vendor. My suggestion; try some DK and some "homebrews" and find the style of juices that suit you.
I Love DK tobacco juices for example, but not a big fan of the fruit flavored juices I've tried thus far.
My wife only prefers other mixes, and shys away from DKs.

No, Dekang is cheap Chinese juice. There have been lots of reports of quality control problems. I never vape it. I know lots of people do, but I've never been comfortable with it.
I stick to American juices from suppliers with good reputations.
I'm all about saving money for sure, but the possible health implications of bad quality control are not worth saving a couple bucks.

In my opinion, there are much more BAD DK juices than there are good ones. To make matters worse, many of the flavors do not resemble what is described.
Also, vapor amounts can be very inconsistent.
For example, I love smell and taste of a French Pipe. DK French Pipe juice tastes more like flowers you pick out of a garden. Doesn't even resemble a French Pipe.
Their menthols, in my opinion, are the absolute worst. Disgusting, IMHO.
I have a 15ml bottle of RY4 just sitting here -- it's the new formula, but it's not that bad. Just wish it was a bit stronger(the flavor). So it sits there for emergencies.
Fruit Mix(Tutti-Frutti) and the cherry flavors are actually not that bad. In fact, I've used 24mg Cherry and Fruit Mix, cut it down to 12mg by adding 50% VG, and it vaped great.
Of course, none of this means that you will always get the same consistency everytime you order.
My personal favorite is Backwoods Brew -- great stuff, great service, and there is always something for everyone there.

I agree with MistressNomad on this subject. IMHO, the American made juices I like have way more complexity and taste more like the labeled/described flavor than the Dekang juices have for me. YMMV, but I notice a distinct difference between the Dekang and American juices. Get some samples from a few American vendors and compare. That's the best part of vaping; customizing your experience for your personal tastes! 
I have an order arriving from Backwoods brew soon, I cant wait to try them out. I've heard great reviews, and have only vapped Dekang since I've started, Hope I'm in for a real treat =)
The Dekang stuff is also usually all PG. Some sellers say their PG is Dekang and some sell Dekang but don't say that's what it is - you just start recognizing the flavor names. Some vendors mix up their own PG, PG/VG or VG flavors. I found Dekang satisfactory as my first bottle to tide me over while I ordered other juices. It satisfied my craving but not my soul.
A lot of the US juice makers use a mix of PG and VG in various ratios and some like FreedomSmokeUSA let you choose various ratios. PG is more throat hit and supposedly more flavor, VG makes more vapor and is a bit sweeter and thicker. A lot of people like ratios like pg/vg 70/30, 80/20, 90/10 which preserve a lot of TH and flavor while adding heavier vapor. Some like 50/50. Some people are allergic to PG and use 100% VG. Note - if you are using cartomizers, you might want to find out what ratios work well in them. I think it can be hard to fill some cartos with really thick (high VG) juices.
There are lots of good juice places. FreedomSmokeUSA and Backwoods Brew are two. If you ever get juice that is freshly mixed from ingredients they just received, you may need to let it steep (sit open for hours then closed for days, or open for days - people do it different way - I haven't had that problem yet. of course keep out of reach of pets and kids).
Some other places are Madvapes, StrictlyEjuice, Johnson Creek
I think I have already ordered juice from 8 places and I've only been vaping 12 days haha. Time to get a tackle box.
