which ones do you like?

thanks everybody :)

From madvapes, the ones I really liked a lot were Chocolate Mint (which surprised me given how hard it is to do a good chocolate flavour) and straight up mint (which tasted like fresh mint leaf, not a candy mint, which I liked). Toffee, Caramel, Kick-Azz Caramel, and Waffle were all vapable -- rather sweet and pleasant -- but didn't really taste a whole lot like their namesakes. Coffee didn't taste like coffee at all, and Kona Cream even less so. Tasted more like burnt popcorn or hot peanuts. Very Berry was nice, artificial in that flavoured drink sort of way, but definitely vapable. Wintergreen was passable but too sweet for me. Cheesecake was ... well, it tried, and kind of got somewhere close to cheesecake, but fell rather short and ended up somewhere in the uncanny valley.

Again, my own personal assessments based on my own taste buds, YMMV and all that.

They do have good prices. The only problem is when I ordered 50 ml Dekang USA Mix, I got another juice???? What was it, who made it? I submitted ticket, no resolution. We chalk things up to bad batch, etc. If you're in the business of selling juice and advertise a brand, you should at least know how it should taste. I don't buy their juice anymore. :(

Keep in mind MadVapes don't make the Dekang liquids, only the TopVapor brand, so it's possible that you were either shipped the wrong liquid (if the label is something other than it should be) or Dekang filled it with the wrong liquid (if the label is right but it doesn't taste like what it's supposed to be.) I do agree they should be able to resolve it, but that may be a little more complicate if it's the right bottle with the wrong liquid, as that would have been Dekang's fault.

Mindfield, it said "USA Mix" on the bottle, but the bottle looked like Smoktek's. I'm pretty sure it's not Dekang's fault. I've since corresponded with Dekang and ordered directly from them, quality is consistent. Their tobacco flavors share tobacco essence and you can easily tell. This was fruity/chemical, NOT Dekang. I'm NOT the only one disappointed. See history.

To be fair, I've gotten fake Dekang from 3 vendors, even one in China, so it's all TOO common. People blame it on a Dekang bad batch, also all TOO common an excuse I'm tired of. Like I said, you should know what you're selling. I vape juice from other vendors, so I don't mind other flavors, just not when I did not order it. It's like ordering beef and getting chicken. If you sell me AV, TV, FSUSA (not my fav) or JC juice that was not authentic, I'd complain too.

MV's order processing and shipping were great. I just won't touch their juice and won't recommend someone buy Dekang juice from them.

Wow, I had no idea. I've never ordered Dekang before (I'm not a tobacco flavour kind of guy) and had no idea that there were counterfeits out there. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, though I didn't think the E-cig industry had grown to the levels where counterfeiters could make good money off it. That's quite a shame as Dekang is the main Chinese liquid that I know to have a solid reputation. Suck to see bootleggers ripping them off like that. I hope MV is looking into it because I've been nothing but totally satisfied with the customer service there (even if I wasn't too impressed with most of the TV juices). But then, as I said, I've never ordered Dekang from MV.

Yep, Mindfield, it's a mess. Dekang is pretty concerned too. I guess this means the e-cig industry is "maturing".

And the MadVapes juice saga continues......I stopped using their .....juice.

I read your entire exchange with Hoog, but had bought my 50ml already. I'm with you.

I can highly recommend Goodejuice for their variety (over 30 tobacco flavors) and most of their other flavors have been really good. You can taste test 3ml for 2.99 which is great. I can also recommend Rockstar Vapors-good juice that comes in glass bottles and droppers and they have some sample packages for only $20.00.

I started a thread last week about this Madvapes debacle. I'm a newbie and I got a 50ml Dekang Tobacco and a 50ml Dekang RY4 from Madvapes and they both tasted good on the third and fourth days after steeping but only lasted two more days then tasted very bland and flavorless. The odor even changed they both smell and taste the same now. Someone told me I got ripped off because both bottles had no labels or pictures on them just plain white bottles with tiny black letters. If someone knows of some good juices from Madvapes i'd love to know what they are since the prices are awesome.
