DK-TAB question

[Pbk]

Hello, I just had two nasty sour corn tasting DK-TAB (50mml). Searching the forum, I found out it could be juices made in china. Is there USA made juice with same flavor? Thanks for your help in advance.

DK-TAB is Dekang Turkish American Blend.
It is the best tobacco flavor I have yet found, after trying lots and lots of them.

Maybe you got a bad batch that was way too old or something?

And no, you can not compare one flavor by one supplier to a flavor by another supplier.
They all make them different, and they all taste a bit different.

Weird. Maybe I got a bad batch too.

I got a 15ml bottle of 36mg Liberty Liquids DK-TAB from mypvshop. So far, it's the only flavor I have come across that I don't like.

Is it common to get liquid that's gone bad?

That's a really good question!

I have a bunch of bottles of juice that I bought about 14 months ago when I was stocking up.
I pulled them out of retirement and gave them a shot, after never even having opened them.

Almost all of them are nasty.
And I'm throwing almost all of them away.

But I would be interested in seeing what people think about this topic.

I opened a bottle from my stockpile days that was 11 months old and it was fine. I do vacuum seal my juice. Many of us believe that light and air are the biggest detriments to e-liquid. I have no idea if the vacuum sealing helps but since I had the sealer, I used it.

DK Tab will all be made in China by Dekang, unless US companies have produced copies of it. Actually there have been reports of Chinese copies of Dekang liquid.

On the storage issue, I've used plenty of juice over a year old, all fine. I store it in a dark place, at room temperature. The opened bottles however sometimes lose some of their flavouring over time IMO.

I have a buddy who quitted smoking together with me about 4 months ago. He tasted my DK-TAB and said it has fresh cut grass aftertaste. I have contacted the supplier and he said they have been using same batch for a while now and there was no reported complaint on this batch. I assumed he was going to say somthing like that and the taste can be very subjective thing making it hard to report a complaints. The first bottle I got four nonth ago tasted just great and I miss it. Could it be my condition or the taste buds? hmmmm. Thank you guys for your comments.

Yeah, I had mine in a tackle box that was at the bottom of our pantry.
Our floor is tiled with stone, so even though it is usually pretty warm around here, that was the coolest place I could put it.

I'm thinking if I ever really wanted to stock up I would probably vacuum seal and put them in a freezer next time.

The juice I bought was from LightInTheBox.
That's probably what went wrong right there.


Back then I didn't really know what I was doing.
If I stocked up again, it would be with the good stuff.
