Experience and epinions on Chinese e-liquids

[Romul]

I am starting out and since i am ordering some other stuff from China i intend to order some chinese e-liquids aswell to compare them since they are so inexpensive,so i was wondering if anybody has any experience with them and could give their opinion regarding different brands,like Bud/Buddy,Dekang,Ruyan,Hangsen...

Thanks a bunch!

I have used Janty (still do), DeKang and Hangsen. I find that they are smoother and subtler than most American made eliquids that I have used. Too many American eliquids seem to have an "after-taste" to me but this is all subjective, of course.

I think Janty's eliquids are considered by many to be some of the best.

Hi Romul
Noobie's opinion here:
There ain't NO amount of money that is too much money for me to spend to quit analogs. I am NOT looking for bargains in this endeavor. I need quality & whatever it takes to get me clean. Think I can get my juice in the good ol' USA or make my own. Keep vapin.

I am new and have tried dekang as well as american stuff. Dekang is so far the best in flavor. I love the flavor of the camel or I guess they call it desert ship. It is a lil sweet with a nutty flavor as well

I tried Dekang and i can say they are ok, but not great. I DIY now and the difference is huge. To me most Dekang have a chemical taste and that bothers me. I really liked their mango though.

P.S. I ordered some tobacco flavors for DIY, and will see how that goes. I heared that their tobaccos don't have the chemical taste ...so we'll see.

Of those you listed, I've only tried Dekang.

Dekang's tobaccos are OK but I was not happy with any fruit nor the vanilla (which did not even taste like vanilla). Also Dekang liquids seem to be inconsistent. The main thing I don't care for with Dekang is lack of visible vapor and possible irritation because they are 100% PG.

PG is thin, lets through all of these the best: flavor, nicotine throat hit, nicotine irritation.
VG is thick, dulls everything PG lets though and adds nicer visible vapor

I prefer to use juices around 80PG/20VG - enough VG to help prevent nicotine skin irritation and to add a bit of nicer vapor, but plenty of flavor and TH still get through. Also 80PG/20VG is still thin and works easily for me in cartomizers.

Sometimes I would use the Dekang PG tobaccos and mix in a bit of a PG/VG juice for a more complex flavor and to add some vapor.

german liquids are awsome and are coming soon.. they are still in lawsuits and regulating this by the eu (the us was at this point a year ago) so give them some time and maybe the world can profit and taste some good german star quality liquid.

oh and before someone start kicking up a stink because i didnt post a link.. lol... onlineshop für elektronische zigaretten und liquids - silberwolke - tasted them and was amazed !!!
the guys are telling me that they are in coop with hangsen, using their basic vg and pg plus nicotine and getting their own flavourings from german pharmasutical labratories such as bayer and merck (this info coming from the german forum www.e-rauchen-forum.de)
excited about this me is

 

[Romul]

Tnx for all the opinions guys,
like one of you said that the cost doesnt matter if it means you kick the cigaretts.i agree and i am wiling to pay extra but only if i get proportional more quality,i hate paying more for same stuff with just different tags and it seems to me that everybody uses chinese ingredients anyway, at least PG and VG bases so the difference can only be in flavor,so i was mainly trying to find out which chinese brand has the best...i think its worth investigating more,and i will do so and if i get any good info i will post,one has to keep in mind you can get a 30-50ml bottle for 2-5$...
I gotta try some of the expensive stuff too though,so i can compare,since i have been smoking only chinese for the last year since i first started vaping(my brother gave my a kit as a present and he also got me 3x 50ml e-liquid bottles and i was vaping only now and then and i am only starting to run low since i started vaping more heavily over the last few months,plus i have and analog kit,so i cant really judge the flavor potencial of these liquids because of poor hardware(ordered better)
Well anyway,will be grateful for any more comments,
hf ppl

I will be waiting for it thanks,Germany is close to Slovenia so its a good option.plus i can really see how much difference i feel with different flavors on same Hangsen bases.

I don't have any problem at all with the Dekang Desert Ship(only one I've used from Dekang) and continue to vape and always will. Its an inexpensive way to enjoy the pricier, tastier juices even more.

If I am playing golf or out working, I'll take the desert ship because I'll vape a lot of it. When I'm at home, I only vape it between long periods of VR juices to switch up my tastebuds.

I have no problems with DK liquids. It's what I started with and I tried more expensive stuff too, but for the money I liked the DK stuff better. I had no problems with consistency - the stuff was remarkably consistent from one order to the next. (I always purchased from the same seller.) Also, they are available in 100% VG for people who have problems with PG.

Rick, where are you getting your VG Dekang from? The only place I've found is MyFreedomsmokes.com

Rick, where are you getting your VG Dekang from? The only place I've found is MyFreedomsmokes.com

Cignot.com They only sell 5 ml sample and 20 ml sizes though but the selection for 100% VG stuff is pretty large. Wicked fast shipping if you get caught short and need stuff in a hurry. Any questions e-mail Vicki through the web site. She responds to e-mails same day.

P.S.: The product descriptions on Cignot refer to it as Boge liquids. I have never figured out the relationship between Boge and DK - it's like a confusing marriage. But it is DK stuff and all the bottles have the YNDK imprint on the caps.

DK cinnamon danish thru good prophets is my favorite juice currently

 

[Paradox28]

I don't think GP has any Dekang stuff right now?

 

[Spitzz]

Dekang liquid seems to be OK, I don't know about the others though.

I have some Dekang DJ Clove that I enjoy

 

[Romul]

i suppose nobody knows Buddy/Bud liquids...they seem to be their own manufacturer and if bottles and boxes count for anything they look like something they put effort in them looking better than alot of the cheap stuff...maybe they are new
...i am maybe going to get 4 Dekang premium liquids,a new thing supposed to be top class and comes in this four flavors for now: HS Delight, HS Storm, HS Impulse, and HS Menthol Sensation...if i get them and my new hardware i will post a review.

 

[ClippinWings]

I recently ordered a crapload of 6ml bottles of various flavors from a chinese manufacturer (NOT Dekang) ... trying to get a large sample for a web development client of mine who is looking to build an ecig/juice site

These all varied:

0-18nic

1x - 2x flavor
VG
PG
Mixed vg/pg

So I got a good cross section of product.... and the verdict?

There is no consistency to any of this product.

In many cases the "100% VG" is thinner than the mixed pg/vg

Almost all of the juices, the nic liquid is darker than non-nic(makes sense)... except for 3 flavors... where the nic is lighter...

The flavors are bad... I mean, what they call "coffee", just plain coffee... has a pure amaretto flavor. Most of the flavors are just "off"... not quite what I would expect given the description... for instance... Caramel Mocha tastes noting like Caramel or Mocha... LOL

The blackberry tastes of perfume

All the juices with nic have a, um... "animal" quality that makes them almost unvapable.

and the strangest?.... Cinnamon is a solid... or at least it has solid chunks in it... looks like melted butter after it cools.

Buying anything from China that u put in your body always makes me nervous... high levels of lead in plastic and painted toys and all sorts of other things going on. I'll stick to American made as much as possible and keep a close eye on that.IMO
