Is one eliquid brand better than another?

[Unclebad]

I read through every tobacco flavored e-liquid discussion I could find on this, and every other forum. I was unable to find a true consensus on which vendor or which blend. Although, I did run across a bunch of people loyal to Dekang tobacco flavors. I saw this loyalty among different groups of people at different venues.

When my order from China arrived, I was excited..... until I opened one of the bottles. I didn't care for the smell. Opened all the bottles, and they all had this bizarre chemical smell. The vapor was the same. It's like I was inhaling latex. Blech. I let them sit on a shelf for a couple weeks and still no improvement. So as to brands of e-juice.... it's all pretty subjective.

Some things YOU can taste and smell that I cannot. There are also things I can taste and smell that you cannot. Order small bottles. No matter what anyone says about an e-liquid... you might hate it.

taste are completely subjective, order small quantity is recommended.

Good grief! Next thing you'll be bragging about how wonderful your bar-b-que is.

Only if fish tacos count as BBQ.

I stick with USA made ingredients. I had some Chinese juice that was well just crappy and I had to throw it out. I have not had a really bad USA made one, just some I like alot better than others It is so much fun taste testing. brnk

I agree with that. I've been vaping for almost a year now and have barely taste tested the tip of the iceberg of flavors!

So far I'm a big fan of Vermillion River - Kentucky Applewood and Premium Blend are my favorites. Seem to be along the lines of a caramel/nutty flavor that is not too sweet as their base. Applewood is amazing.

The FDA does not regulate electronic cigarettes in any way at this time.
They are completely and totally unregulated, although that will be changing in the fairly near future.

If you mean Dekang then yes they are a large juice supplier. Be forewarned though it seems they have changed many of their recipes. For instance Dekang RY4 used to be great...now many raving about HC RY4. In regards to the throat burn it may have to do with the PG/ VG ratio IMO.

Is one eliquid brand better than another? I ask because the flea market store near me sells Dakang & Johnson's Creek. I have the Dakang Menthol 11mg and I'm not happy with the taste and it burns my throat a little. I'm going to try adding a little vanilla to it to make it work for me taste-wise. Not sure what to do about throat burn, I already had that from something else prior to starting vaping. Maybe reducing nicotine even further to a 6mg maybe? I was a Menthol Ultra light smoker ever since I can remember 3/4 - 1 pk a day.

From what I've been told, yes.

I mean, I don't know.
I get all my stuff from my friend.

But she told me that the cheaper stuff doesn't taste the same as the pricier stuff.
And when you're first quitting, you need to find good tasting stuff to make it easier to stop the cigarettes.

She's over 2 months off cigarettes now and I'm soooooo jealous

Where does this come from?? Are people really not aware of the FDA's stance on vaping???? Yeah, let's follow the FDA and all go back to smoking, as vaping, from their perspective, should be banned. But the FDA does regulate the food industry in the US. You know, the same one that gave us the tainted meat and tainted turkey and tainted cantalopes from US companies.

Some juice suppliers are starting to prepare for regulations and are incorporating batch numbers on their juice. I too agree taste is subjective as some of my favorite juice is the cheapest I've found from MadVapes. Then I have bought some more premium juice from VaporBeast that is FANTASTIC!

Doing great! As long as I have my daily vape and my daily beer I'm a happy picker.

Hope things are well with you and yours.

Doing better.

I was in a Hideous car accident. Broke a bunch of Ribs and my Sternum.

Have kinda been out of the ECF loop for awhile.

I tried a couple of USA vendors sample packs,turned out my palate liked the dekang the best,and my bank account doesnt mind either.I use to smoke marlboro menthol lights,but the dekang camel and dk-tab work for me.

 

[BanjoMan]

Ouch! Sorry to hear about that.

Hope you heal up quick and complete.

Thanks Banjo...

It's been a slow road but I'm doing better.

Just as long as I don't Twist or Cough or Sneeze.

Sneezing is the Worst.

What people need to really know about eliquids, is that you need to choose them like you choose food for your family.
Eliquids are made using various ingredients and chemicals. From propilenoglicol to alcohol (yes some of them even have alcohol) and various concentrated flavors..

Go for tested and trusted ones.

You can't only take the "word" of any vendor that their eliquids are pure and healthy..

Just my opinion..

 

[Markjohn]

I have agree with everyone who has said that it's very subjective, personally I love almost anything by Grizwald or Vapist to name just two, but if I'm skint one month then a Dekang juice will more than get me through to the next paycheck.
