was just looking on fast tech adn they had this brand and a couple other i think one was called dekang or somthing like that, has anyone ever tried this premade juices? i know a lot of diy guys use there flavor extracts to mix their own but these seem to come ready to vape.

it seems to good for the price to actualy taste good though it was like 50ml for $4 but they were getting a lot of good reviews, figured id ask a more trusted opinion from you guys

yeah, i think some of their tobaccos are really good. i don't feel the same about their fruits, but not a fan of fruits in general so 'm not a good judge of those.

Both DeKang and Hangsen have some good tobaccos, RY4's in particular. I believe DeKang ( Ruyan ) came out with the original RY4.

Never purchased them from Fasttech though.

Currently got some Hangsen liquids winging their way to me in the post (some from Fasttech and some from a UK supplier) so can't comment on them yet but reading about them they are similar to dekang (who I have tried) as one of the main cheaper chinese liquid manufacturers who actually produce semi decent liquid. Reviews that I've been reading are mixed (as with most liquids though right?) but I've heard there are some good liquids in their range.

The dekang liquids I have tried are:
RY4 - Good liquid I've found, a sweet ry4 for sure (others are more tobacco flavoured) but a nice general vape.
Menthol - Alright, pretty good menthol hit but the actual flavour wasn't as good as other menthols I've vaped. I'll be letting this one steep for a while and trying it again.
Raspberry - Tasted much more like a strawberry to me, so ok as a general fruity vape. Again, I'll let it steep and try again.

Wow I cant believe that they have decent juices considering how friggen cheap they are, I tried buying gas station juice bc it was cheap when I was in a pinch and it was disssgusting I tossed it.. would people say the fast tech hangsen and dekang juices are better than your average gas station juice??

Mazzinny, why do you say never purchase from fastech?? They are the cheapest sellers of the juice ive come across and thats what im goin for.. if I want a great tasting juice ill just buy some of my favs at my b and m srakes vape and gemini are two of my favs.

I have a completly different purpose for this cheap juice if I do buy it, thus im lookin for the best price I can get

Hangsen premade juice anygood ??

Just like any other juice made by any other manufacturer ... Some of it is good and some sucks!

The only problem I have with Hangsen is the PG to VG ratio .... In my perfect world, I like a 50% PG / 50% VG ratio ... but for some strange reason, most of the pre-made juices that Hangsen manufactures is more like 80% PG / 20% VG ..... way too much PG for me ... and too too [thin] because of the super high amount of PG.

I like higher VG too, but that high pg juice runs through cartos/clearos at 3.7 for a long ... time without gunking them up. Formulas were made mostly before the age of LR and high power vaping, to appeal to the widest population. Think that's the main reason.
I'll use DK in a pinch, and if I ever get around to DIY juice without getting into making my own NETs then I'd likely enjoy mixing their flavors with as much VG as I could.

Better but not that much better.

Look at it this way, order a few cheapies from FT to try them out. It'll set you back $5-$10 and you can see what you think.

In the meantime my latest cheapie option is buying base and flavoring from Killer Juice. You can get 100ml of base for $7 and then add the flavoring which they also sell. It's simple, cheap and even more cost effective than ordering Chinese juices from FT.

No particular reason to be honest. I buy plenty of hardware from fasttech. I just haven't bought any juice. I suppose around the time i found out about fasttech, i had started vaping NET's mostly.

Not as good as Hangsen and DeKang though. I haven't tried their base and flavoring options, but i have tried three of their pre-made juices and they were pretty weak offerings imo. Their RY4 was one of the worst i have tried.

Hangsen makes two versions: Either a 100 PG base or a 100 VG base for their pre-mixed liquids. Resellers can get them custom made in whatever PG/VG ratio they want, but the minimum order quantities make that prohibitive for all but the largest retailers. Hell, it's nearly impossible to find any place that even carries the VG base stuff.

I got some of my Hangsen juices in the post today. So far:

Granny Smith - Ok, tastes like sharp apples but there is a bit of a weird slightly harsh chemical taste in there as well. I'll let it steep or mix it I think.
Blueberry - Yeah not bad at all, as you'd expect a quite sweet blueberry flavour, not like actual blueberries but I will be vaping this one normally I think.

Now,

RY6 (HS Golden Tobacco) - Oh dear god. I was not prepared for that. Other people I've read have said that this is one of the closest juices to actual tobacco they have tried (excluding more expensive NET juice etc I assume), but this juice was AWFUL. To me it tasted like actual tar and maybe burnt wood. Not at all a smooth vape, almost acrid. It made me feel a little unwell and I will likely just bin it unless anyone wants 9ml of this stuff.

Has anyone else tried that one?

Haha no ill tell ya. Well I live at a sober living comunity that has has about 300_'350 recovering drug addicts and as you might guess at least 85% of them smoke.

So my first mission is to buy a bunch of juice cheap and buy a bunch of cheap starter kits and start handing them out to people here who genuinely want to quit smoking ciggs. I really want to help more of my fellow recovering addicts kick another bad habit.

There are some statistics that show that recovering addicts have a 20 percent better success rate at sobreity if they quite smoking too. Also I think having a bew hobby will be helpful for them to as I know it was for me.

I also might start a donation page up for this cause but idk I have been hesitant to do so thus far bc I doubt anyone would be interested in this cause.

I believe there is a PIF thread for cases such as the one you mentioned. You might want to contact a moderator. They need to verify the situation i believe.

I think the high nicotine Hangsen and DeKang's tobaccos are a good option. Heavy smokers need that strong throat hit. And a cheap, dependable, consistent, non fussy clearo like an Iclear 16 and ego twist. Super cheap on fasttech. An eGo twist, two iClear 16's, 10 heads, a charger, and 300 ml DeKang 24 mg/ml liquid, would be less than $ 70 on fasttech and could be three months supply. Far cheaper than cigarettes. If you do the work of ordering and instructing them, they can pay for it themselves. More likely to quit if they are ready to take that step, imo.

They vape well on cotton around 1ohm or so but I suppose they would be very weak on a stock coil--and yeah, I wouldn't go to them for tobaccos. I tend to just pay out the nose for good tobacco flavors because I'm very picky. Just received some NETs from goodejuice's 50% off sale that I'm going to try.

I rebuild, but on the Kanger coils i try to keep them between 1.8 and 2 ohms. Hope Patriot was one of them. I ordered 8 off the recent sale. Only tried two so far. Patriot>Wild Turkey !

Living in China I'm limited to Hangsen and Dekang, unless I want to pay way too much for imported liquids.

What I'd say is that Hangsen really is ok, but be careful, as Hangsen license other companies to produce their liquid. Although the Hangsen name usually remains the same, the packaging does not. Liquid actually made by Hangsen is ok. The PG/VG ratio varies from flavor to flavor, but always high on the PG side. The Hangsen liquid made by companies other than Hangsen is to be bought at your own risk. Sometimes it's ok, sometimes it's not and no amount of steeping can change that.

Hangsen is good for an all round cheap liquid, but it's not the best in the world by far. Playing around with ohms, coils and wicks can improve the flavor, but that's true of all liquids.

For most, Hangsen will be passable. For me, it's usually all I have and I've grown to be happy with it. In fact, sometimes very happy.

No but I heard patriot was good. I have Vita Bella, GJ4 and Congo Craze. Vita Bella smells amazing--delicious tobacco with something else going on. GJ4 smells like a non-obnoxious version of RY4. I've never liked RY4 because it's usually too sweet/artificially tasting so this one should be good. Congo Craze smells like banana nut bread...LOL, whatever. I'm going to let them sit for a while before I crack into them.
