From my very limited personal experience I have found that I really like Dekang e-liquid. I have only tried one other brand (an American manufacturer) and their product doesn't even come close to Dekang with respect to tobacco flavors. I particularly like the USA Mix and RY4. I just picked up some vanilla flavor today and it seems like it will be a good morning vape with a cup of coffee... though I won't know that until a few hours from now. That being said, I have heard some REALLY great review of certain American manufacturers (Halo and Backwoods Brew both instantly come to mind) though I have yet to try them myself. So what flavors did you get?

Nothing tobacco..LOL I find I like mint and bakery flavors the best. I ordered vanilla cream, peach, caramel and mint as flavors to add to flavors I already have or mix together. I have some RY4 in a USA, but it is too harsh for me (maybe because it is 24mg and my average mg is 12-18) I love everything I have gotten from kickbassvapor and Copper Creek except for the RY4.

Ex-Camel non-filter smoker for 50+ years and 24mg Dekang Desert Ship got me off analogs January 6th, first vape. Wife smoked strongest, nastiest menthols for nearly 60 years....same experience as mine, same day, but she likes 10% Johnson Creek Tennessee Cure mixed with the DS. No more menthol....go figure.

Desert Ship is 100% PG and feeds the eGO-T, eGO-C, and 510-T perfectly; and tastes great in the Boge XL LR and standard LR 2.0 cartos. Dekang 24mg USA Mix is our fallback juice but I finally ordered all PG DIY stuff....attempt to improve upon perfection, I guess.

Dekang DK-TAB is by far my favorite juice.
It is a deep, rich, robust tobacco juice that I never get tired of.

Having said that, nearly every single Vaperite tobacco flavor I have tried is fantastic.

The only other tobacco flavors I have liked from anywhere else are...
--Casablanca from Backwoods Brew
--RY4 from Dekang
--Prime 15 from Halo

I do have to say, though, that I really don't consider Prime 15 to be a tobacco juice.
It is, I assume, supposed to be a 555 variant, but I get not tobacco taste from it at all.


EDIT: Yeah, Johnson Creek Tennessee Cured is very tasty, but gives me so little vapor I just can't deal with it.

Yep, I agree and the taste is a bit odd for a straight turkish tobacco user also. But, 90/10 DK-DS and JCTC is pretty mellow to hit as hard as it does and produces good clouds. I wouldn't complain if it's all I could get, but I like the straight DS....wife feels the same as me but favors the DS/JC mix. I make her unhappy, I get punished.
:D

I don't like Dekang at all, yuk, ptooey, fakey chemical taste or thin and boring, like preferring a Twinkie to a warm, home-baked muffin. I'm thrilled with the amazing evolution of juices from small American vendors. It keeps getting better. But I don't vape tobacco juices. I'm a very big KickBass fan, and am real impressed with newly-discovered Highbrow, and those two edge out all the competition for me at this point. I simply don't get the Dekang thing - mass produced nada. But of course, it's by definition all a matter of taste!

I agree it's all a matter of taste. Personally, I don't have a pastry, coffee, alcohol, fruit or other such addiction....mine was tobacco and I love my nic buzz. I might need to find a Zero candy bar juice in the future, but for now that's controllable and I stick with the yummy Dekang tobaccos. DIY stuff is arriving tomorrow; my attempt to improve on perfection, but didn't take any chances....200ml of Dekang 24mg Desert Ship is on the way too.
