So far the only experience I've had is with prefilled V2 cartos and 2 small bottles of Dekang 50/50 555 and Mango. Found the Dekang to be fragrant and muy delicioso.
Ordered from a reputable US blender last week. Not mentioning names because plenty ppl are happy with them. Simple stuff like 555, some strawberry and a watermelon flavor. I did up the VG so I got a 20/80 PG/Vg.
I got the vapemail today and popped it open first thing I noticed was no fragrant whiff when opening. I filled a new clearo and the stuff tasted like ...! The vape was smooth as expected but it didn't even resemble the fruits in the slightest. On the strawberry I even got an extra flavor shot to see if it was stronger than the other.
I even cleaned the clearo and tried the other flavors, the 2nd fruit tasted exactly like the first and the 555 out of the bottle at least smelled sorta like it should but again tasted like ... with 555 and pepper on it. All of it had a distinct peppery taste but not really pepper. Whatever it tasted like it wasn't what it was supposed to be
I read about steeping to improve flavor but this stuff is apparently going to take awhile. Website said up to 2 weeks!
My questions are, by going with such a high VG is it completely overpowering the flavor so much that it completely disappears?
Will steeping improve that? Who wants to wait weeks to even try the product?
Are all US blenders going to be the same and require extended steeping time in order to get a vapable product?
Why is it that the Dekang 50/50 worked so well on day of arrival? Should I try a different blender and less VG?
In the meantime I'm having to revert to V2 prefills waiting for more Dekang. I was hoping to be able to use a less expensive US blender but not really sure what to expect and don't want to blame a company for not liking what I asked them for.
