Have to agree that Dekang has some good juices. Just finished a 30 ml bottle of USA Green Mix and it's the best menthol I have tried so far. But have to plug Lucky 7 again for those who want to try some different flavors for really good prices, like $1.99 for 12 ml and $10.99 for 120 ml, plus free shipping and a free 120 ml juice for orders over $60. He's a bit crazy with his prices right now, trying to grow a new business.

I've bought and tried lots of juices in 4 years of vaping. I've had more brands and flavors that just didn't click than juices that knocked my socks off. There are a few that I like but dang it, those vendors generally want $9 for 10ml and don't sell in larger sizes. A long time ago I started reading posts from people who liked Dekang and decided to try some. What I found was that Dekang flavors were generally as good and sometimes better than the high priced juices at a fraction of the cost. The more I vaped Dekang the more I ordered.

As with any juice brand, some of the flavors don't do anything for me. But $12 for 50ml is a good deal and there are several flavors that I really, really like. You just have to shop around and vape until a juice hits home with your taste buds.

MBV is decent juice, and they make pretty much any nic level and pg/vg ratio you could want. Try the Spurburry if you like fruity vapes.

This is by no means meant as a dig against sub ohm vaping, but it's one thing that I've never understood about it. People always talk about how they've had to step their nic level way down, from 18 to 3 or something like that, but that they're now going through 10ml a day when they used to use about 2-3ml a day. If you're blowing this huge cloud, that makes you go through 5 times the amount of liquid... it just doesn't make sense to me. I run coils from about 0.8 to 1.2, get some pretty good clouds, and have stepped my nic down from 24mg to around 12-18, but I'm pretty sure I'm still only using maybe 3ml a day or less.

Most would say the flavor, I imagine. The flavor is more intense. It's just like my HH357... It eats up juice badly but the flavor is food. My Kidney Puncher only takes 4 drops.... to compare to my HH357 which takes 7... and within a couple drags, needs more. I don't use my 357 as my main thing. I just use it to test flavors... But the flavor and the insane clouds is probably why they sacrifice the amount of juice they do.

I can see that, though even with my barely sub ohm setups I've actually had to add unflavored vg to some of my liquids because the flavor is a little too intense. I guess it's all subjective.

i wish i could vape dekang, i totally would. do they have a dekang or a hangsen thats all vg, or 80/20 vg/pg?

Madvapes states on their site that their Dekang is typically 80pg/20vg, but they also have some all VG Dekang mixes. I found that in the description in the Q&A once you click on the juice flavor. They offer some flavors in 100% VG that could be proportionately mixed with the corresponding PG juice.

Hoosiers notes that theirs is 100%PG. I haven't found a mix on their site.

There are lots of vendors who let you pick the mix if you Google for it. Dekang mixes to the specification of the vendor who orders in quantity.

Vape Geek offers a mix selection. I've never ordered from them ... just found them in a search. 50ml is a little more pricey for the custom mix.

Yeah I had no luck with cheaper per ml juices until I tried lucky 7 and now ncvapes.

I was in the same boat as the op for awhile. Some things can't be replaced like bobas, El kamino, dorky stud. But anything like $20+ per 30ml is just crazy once you try some of the newer cheaper vendors.

I haven't bought juice in over a year.

I've tried good and bad nic, honestly, they all taste the same to me, if there is a difference it must be very minute.

I've paid up to $0.75/mL for 100mg/mL nic.

Right now this is what I pay for my juice:

100mg/mL nic - $0.186/mL
VG - $0.01799/mL
PG - $0.01799/mL
Flavoring - Ranges from $0.499/mL to as low as $0.1833/mL


Veeerrryyyy cheap, tastes great.

There are some "clone" recipes out there that I would really like to try. Can you recommend what you think is a good tutorial for DIY that covers mixing and measuring techniques? I have seen some of the different calculators and have one installed and ready to go, but am still a bit hesitant. Thanks.

As long as you have a calculator that you understand and a recipe, I say go for it. Be careful with your straight Nic, read the DIY stickies here, and you really have nothing to lose!

just wanted to follow up on this post...

been buying from MBV...Havent been disappointed with any of the 15 or so flavors Ive tried.. Im paying 25$ shipped for 105 ml of juice. :D Thats after the coupon code and the freebie... Buying in 30ml bottles seems to be the way to go if you want variety/quantity

Must check out lucky next. Thanks for replys all

I just paid $15.99 for a 15ml bottle of Adam Bomb juice.... Did I really just do that when I finish a bottle in a day n a half?! I used to think paying $13 for a pack of smokes was ridiculous (canada)... I mean at least im not smoking crap anymore but DAMN.

Screw it, Im gonna have to give up the better juices like this and Space Jam, Cosmic Fog, and other $15 juices, and im gonna just order from MBV... It cant be that much less in quality! right?

Either that or go back to 18mg in an Evod...a 15ml bottle used to last me a week.. This sucks cuz I love dripping on sub-ohm but it chugs juice like a ......

Not happy with these prices of good juice that seem to be going up more and more...

That is all.:mad:
Do what I do. Scour the classifieds here on ECF. You can find great deals from good people. And as a bonus it comes to you well steeped:D

I mostly DIY. I still buy from time to time premade juices and when I find one I love, I buy it until I can figure out how to make it cheaper. lol. I eventually figure it out and tweak it some, but until I do I buy it. I highly recommend you learn to DIY because if I had to pay for premade juice always, it's not cheap no matter who you buy from, compared to DIY. It irks me alot to pay for premade so that's probably why I try hard to figure out a good flavor once I find one. I'm just cheap. lol. And this whole vendor thing with specialty lines of juice is a big hype. Ever since Five Pawns came out with their line of juice at high prices, everyone wants to create some gimmick of high line of juice and say it's a specialty line and charge a bunch. It's a ripoff. And honestly, I don't care for most of them anyways compared to my DIY's.
