Do I need to mix anything with this or I can just use it right away with my cartos? I would like to try this as it has got very good reviews.

Dekang makes a huge stock of juices. Some are very good, some not so hot.
Dekang RY4 is one of their very best. It rivals the best non-Chinese RY4s, even the high-end artisan-made versions.

You can take that to the bank, AJ1!!! I hate it too
Every vendor, including the Big Dogs would kill to get their hands on the recipe.

I just ordered some DK Tab for the first time! Does it taste like it has toffee in it? How do you describe how it taste?
TIA
TIA
I'll let you know what I think in a couple of days!!Robust slightly spicy tobacco w/ a subtle nutty caramel undertone. Very good
From what I've read, when Dekang lost the original RY4 recipe (however it occurred; all the explanations I've seen are variations on one theme: someone high up left the company in a less than positive parting and took with him the proprietary secret formula) in the summer of 2010, Dekang's initial replacement formula was met with a chorus of boos from users in America and presumably China as well. Over the next months, or so the story goes, Dekang tried numerous different recipes, with varying degrees of success in attempting to quiet the furor among customers.
Some ECF posters have written that Janty RY4 is the original formula. I don't know. I started vaping in September of 2010, so I never sampled the fabled lost RY4, plus I haven't tasted Janty's RY4 because it's been sold out every time I try to buy some.
Ikenvape's new IKV RY4 Gold (the only juice Ikenvape sells) is supposedly an exact re-creation of the original RY4 formula, or at least a very close replica of it. I have a bottle of that in the VG-blend (70VG/30PG). I also have a 50ml bottle of Dekang RY4 from the China Liquids section of Madvapes (which means that it's pre-mixed) that I purchased back in October 2010.
To my palate, the two juices are definitely not the same, but they aren't hugely different, either. Both are tasty and good, with the IKV RY4 Gold having a more pronounced "sparkle" and a nutty finish on exhale that's not present in the Madvapes Dekang RY4. One thing I can say for sure: The Dekang RY4 that I have definitely does not suck. In fact, it's darn good, and way better than some of the 25-or-so different RY4s I've tried.
Is Madvapes' current stock (14 left as of today) of Dekang RY4 pre-mix in the 50ml bottles for $10.99 the same formula as the 50ml bottle I bought seven months ago, and would the two taste the same??? I don't know. I still have 40ml of my big bottle left (along with more than 300ml of other vendors' RY4s in my juice stash), and right now it's not worth it to me to spend $11 more just to find out.
So, as always, YMMV.

I bought a 50ml bottle of it from madvapes, its not unvapable but it not one on my favorites I may try to doctor it to make it taste better
Thanks bill I was wondering about the story and had yet to run across an explanation. All I can say is I hope that was the case and it wasn't, like, a dry cleaning chemical that gave it it's extra special taste. 
I too have heard that Ikenvape's is the closest. Looking forward to trying some when no longer oos.

I spoke with one of Janty's owners on the phone about 2 weeks ago. He said that neither Janty, nor anyone else has the original formula, however he did say that they might have located some original in a warehouse somewhere. He told me that they are looking into possibly analyzing this in a lab to recreate Original RY4.. I sure hope he does!
AJ, I got my DK Tab today! It is very good! I swear it smells and tastes almost identical to Ikenvapes original RY4 which I think is excellent.
Color is nearly identical... DK tab nay be a touch darker!!!
The Original RY4 is the only juice Isaac is offering, however I have heard there are more flavors oin the way!!
