Health Cabin juice... um, not so much.

[Mazzy]

First, let me say that my overall experience with my first order from Health Cabin was great. Recieved package 7 days from order date and prices were also very good.

But since this is an e-juice review...

I haven't purchased a lot of juices yet. My only e-juice experiences are with DIY Flavorshack, Vapor Kings, and now Health Cabin but here is my review of Health Cabin's juice based on my (limited) experience with e-juices thus far.

I purchased Cola & Caramel flavors. I actually didn't care for either one. They are two different colors (as would be expected) but they smell and taste the same - kind of coconut-y. I'd say the flavor (regardless that it doesn't taste like what it should) would be minimal at best; very subtle. And I'd say the throat hit is heavy on the harsher end of the spectrum. The vapor production is low or 'poor'.

Kind of a bummer because I'm very happy with the dry goods portion of my purchase and I'd still recommend them for those items - just not the juices.

Hope this helps out other vapers.

Were you using the same atomizer for both juices? The flavor will stay the same if you use the same atomizer...and even more so if you use the same cart. I use the same atomizer for both of my flavors (two kinds, RY4 and tobacco) and they tasted the same at first but now after swiching back and forth between juices and still using the same atty I can tell the difference between the flavors.

And I'm using dekang..which is the same as what Health Cabin sells. You also mentioned poor vapor production. I get great vapor using the 510 and even better if I cut it with VG. It all depends on the model VP you're using as well.

I used two different attys and two different carts. And before I did the review (specifcally due to the poor vapor production thing) I blew out one atty and grabbed a new cart which I filled with my DYI Flavorshack juice and vapor production was great again. I disagree that vapor production is solely dependant on model.

Thanks for letting me know that many juices are that DeKang. I will stick to DIY Flavorshack then.

Vapor production is not solely dependent on the model that you use, but using the right ecig definitely helps. You can get tons more vapor with the right battery power.

It's funny and goes to show everyone has different tastes and experiences. This is such a subjective topic.
I have limited experience with ejuice 8mg-24mg. Have a sample pack + some others from JC plus a bunch of stuff from nhaler. While I'm not nuts about some of the flavors I do like most of the the juices. I find the JC stuff too thin though, too easy to flood the atty. The nhaler juice is pretty thick and makes lots of vapor. I have found though I'm not getting the throat hit that I want. Using a 510. I just received some juice from an order from health cabin. While the flavor doesn't seem to be all that accurate, it is good...to me, (cinnamon, cappuccino, and flue cured is all I ordered) the throat hit is great. Vapor is ok but I'm finding I want more of a throat hit than vapor. When I got the 510 i was into more vapor and tried cutting with VG, now I want the TH. Not sure what is different about the dekang from health cabin but so far I like it a lot. Seems spicy. I guess I prefer more of a harsh throat hit. It would be great to have both tons of vapor and a killer throat hit but I guess it's a trade off. Maybe I'll try getting some potent dekang (not even sure how high it goes) and cutting a little with VG. Waiting on an order that has some ecopure but I suspect it will have a lot of vapor and lack in TH.

I guess the point is if your not happy with what you have, keep trying various manufacturers, flavors, and levels of nic. Find what works for you.

Funny I just took a long draw off my 510 with dekang cinnamon and got a killer TH with vapor on par with an analog. Yeah I'm pretty happy with the stuff.

 

[Deschain]

Cinnamon has that effect...it's pretty harsh stuff.

[Mazzy]

sms - so does that mean that you're finding with different flavors of the DeKang juices you are getting different results?

I see at first you said the flavors aren't very accurate and the vapor is just okay, but then posted a second time saying that the vapor was great and you enjoyed the flavor ??

I'm wondering if that means that with the cinnamon flavor you are having a different experience than with whatever flavors your previous post was commenting on or if you've just changed your mind?

If the flavor accuracy and vapor production are better on different flavors then maybe I will try some other flavors in the future but if it's just a matter of changing your mind after your original post then I won't bother as I experienced the same thing you seemed to on first posting - harsh throat hit, lower vapor, and inaccurate flavoring.

Thanks for any clarification.

I use HealthCabin for a lot of stuff. Bulk Attys, Bulk empty Carts, etc...

As far as juice goes, I really like the fact that I can get 30ML (that's a FULL OUNCE) of 24mg unflavored for only 9$.

Yes the shipping adds up, but my orders are always for a lot more than 1 bottle of juice, so the shipping get's diluted somewhat.

Considering I've cut the nic I vape to 6mg I get 4 ounces from each bottle for only 9$ AND because I flavor it myself, there's no dilution or loss of flavor!

I'd say the flavors the I have are all good. This is my first time with Flue Cured so I have nothing to compare except other tobacco flavors . Also my first time with cinnamon and Cappuccino but I know what they are supposed to taste like. Cappuccino is similar, has a hint, to what it should be but not like a cup of it. Cinnamon...I don't think is very much like cinnamon at all, however I like it a lot. As far as changing my mind, I only received these last night and was more focused (and pleased) on the throat hit rather than the vapor. The second post was after I was paying more attention to the vapor. There's plenty of vapor for me and I think each of the flavors I got are a nice ratio of vapor to TH. Cinnamon seems to have the most TH and is more harsh.

I'd say out of the three I got and my very limited amount of time using them they all offer similar "performance??" They make me want to try more from Dekang as for me, they provide more of what I want, compared to the other brands. I was reading another post about a supplier in the states that seems really positive and cheap. Think I may give them a go in a week or two...strictly

Before I used these I kept wanting to vape, not really satisfied. Felt like I was missing that feeling. So far I feel more satisfied with these and can put the damn 510 down for a bit

Maybe you like more VG in your juice? Seems like the VG is what gives tons of vapor.

Hope that clarifies things a bit.

I tend to trust the DK juices nic content as some of the homebrew 'Gourmet' ones sometimes don't hit as hard as what their claimed nic would lead you to expect. Flavor may be lacking with DK, and many do seem similar, but there are many flavoring companies out there (and often talked about on these forums). It usually only takes a few drops to enhance the DK juices to your personal liking and strength.

Looks like the Dekang caramel flavor is still Pina Colada flavor. Too bad

I tried rescuing some Dekang liquids with Lorann's flavors last night. Not doing it. (And supposedly they'd be the easy ones to combine - "Chocolate" and "Vanilla". The quote marks are intentional. Choc was cough-syrupy, Vanilla was like bottom-shelf liquor mixed with perfume.)

It's hard to mask anything that is outright unpleasant. Maybe if the flavor was simply not strong enough, it would be easy to cut it with some Lorann's.

Dekang might have good quality control on nic levels and contaminants, but for quality control on flavor and consistency, I'm sticking to other companies.

The reliable suppliers (Health Cabin, Eastmall, Heaven Gifts) in China all seem to have a good track record on spare parts and accessories, and you can't beat the prices, but they do all stock Dekang. But, it's easy to split your purchasing.

 

[JimMitchell]

Aye, that's why I buy the flavorless and flavor it myself!

It's hard to beat 24mg no flavor e-juice at $9 an ounce

 

[hrundi]

@JimMitchell
where do you buy the flavors? is there a tobacco flavor there?

I just recieved a few bottles from health cabin today, and I really don't like the flavor. It's nauseating, like smoking joss sticks, it smells up the room and now I can't get it out of the atomizer - I guess I'll have to boil it. Too bad, because their customer service and delivery time was great. I'll definitely order again - but not juice.

I kinda felt the same way about them, but did learn a few things. With a little of the more expensive juice from other vendors it's very easy to fix some of the short comings and still maintain a great price. Not to mention if you mix your own their 24mg no-flavor PG works really well when mixed with VG and cappella's and Dawns flavors.

I ordered and received Virginia, flue cured and 555 from Health cabin and love all of them.
The liquid is a little thinner, but that's okay.

Vapor production is good also.
I'm happy with them, and will order again.

hey scott58,
I can only say that If this was the first juice I tried I would definitely give up vaping and go back to smoking.

However, I'm quite new to this thing (2 months) and I don't know much about juices. Are Dawn's tobacco flavors any good? I never mixed my own juice - how much juice can you get out of a 6ml Glass Bottle from DIY flavorshack when you mix with 24mg no-flavor from HC?

I have reviewed several of Healthcabin's juices on my blog. I have mixed things to say about them. Some of the flavors are crap, and some are really good. For price, you can't beat them. I would say try the Lemon and Cotton Candy from healthcabin, though. They taste good, pound your throat, and make good vapor. Of course I also enjoyed the tried and true flavors like RY4 and 555. Also, if you order a lot of stuff at once, it saves you in the long run on shipping, because you can order quite a lot of stuff before the shipping goes up from the $6 minimum shipping charge.
