Hey Lelly - I know that bottle. There are a number of chinese "companies" (using the term loosely) who sell liquids of same description. ...what I call "mystery liquid". Most are just basic tobacco flavoring in questionable nicotine and PV bases. Chances are the bottle has a bit more flavoring than a typical DeKang (which tend to be lighter on the flavor side) - that's all. If you can find a DIYer with good replicating experience - you should have the flavor down in no time at all.
I purused the site - choked into my coffee - this guy has no idea what he's talking about. For one thing - if you only add 5 or 6 drops to a cartridge, you'll burn the cartridge filler onto the atty in no time and end up with a burned atty (very yuck taste).
Also 6 ml - for a typical vaper is about 5 or 6 days worth (more for some, less for others).
If you have a bit of extra time - might be a good idea to get ahold of some forum business cards and pass them around your stomping grounds. That way - when this "I sell out of the back of my van and don't know anything about ecigs" guy makes his rounds - fresh victims can head for the forums and find a sounder way to vape.
I agree, it must have a high percentage of flavor cause it is pretty strong. I am gonna wait and try the DK Tab and if that isn't it then I will send Jack the last few drops of my juice and see if he can work his magic.
No, it is not. DK-TAB and Tobacco are two completely different flavours. I doubt, based on what you've said that you'd like the DK-TAB.
When I was living in the US I found a few vendors were shipping Dekang Tobacco in their pre-filled carts. I rather liked the flavour... and I'm betting based on what you've said of the idiot you've been dealing with that he's been using that, and possibly just putting it in new bottles. (Haven't seen the bottles you're talking about, so not sure.)
So you might know what juice I am talking about? Do you know where I could get it?
Like I said, I'm betting on Dekang Tobacco... for a couple of reasons. It's pretty common (or at least was when I lived there a year and a half ago) for that flavour of juice to be shipped from China with mini-cig kits - especially to the US, which is where idiot says he's getting it from (FLA). All the kits I bought were shipped with pre-filled cartridges of that flavour. Not to mention, said idiot knows nothing about juice, which is why I'm betting he's selling something as simple as Dekang - I don't think he'd know how to do any sort of mixing if he doesn't know what PG or VG is.
You said previously that when you smell the juice, it smells just like a freshly opened pack of analogs. Well, I just opened a pack, and smelling it... it totally reminded me of Dekang Tobacco. Even though it's been a year since I've had it. The taste of it, to me, is just straight up tobacco. A little sweeter than a Canadian cigarette, but nothing like a Marlboro... just not as "smoky" as Canadian cigs. It tasted like Canadian cigs smell, if that makes sense. (In contrast, American cigs smell like manure to me.)
I'm not sure which Canadian vendors sell Dekang Tobacco (if any), but you can get it from China...
On a side note, out of curiosity I just mixed up a little batch that came pretty close. Might be my new ADV. The B&H I got from Kat just wasn't cutting it for me, so I added a little of a Maple Syrup/Cigar blend I made... Too bad my battery just died. I'll have to do some more testing. Haha.
...here's my 2 cents... with a bit of experience.... I would highly doubt that it's DeKang.
1) DeKang bottles are instantly recognized by their colored caps and labels. Their caps have "DeKang" imbedded into the side - and for a reason - there are a number of chinese "bathtub breweries" who were selling liquid, claiming it was DeKang - and it wasn't.
2) The only time you'll find DeKang in another bottle is when the vendor is ordering it in bulk bottles and re-bottling, and, of course using their own labels. Vendors who order bulk will usually tell you what their juice brand is - and you can usually trace it anyway to vendor through their labels.
3) The unlabelled or generic brands from China may be perfectly fine - or maybe not. Anything that isn't coming from a reputable company (labelled and branded and traceable) could contain just about anything (gasoline, oil, ky... tee hee...).
4) DeKang tobacco is not an overly strong flavor.
The bottle you're describing sounds very much like what is used by the generic chinese companies - the clear "tobacco" sticker on the front suggests a generic juice as well.
If it's generic - a DIY expert could probably tell you what the basic flavorings are and approximate quantity to replicate it, though flavors are also influenced by the base mix, the quality and quantity of nicotine.
...nuff said....
I really hope, Lelly, that you find a new juice! There's lots of good stuff out there. It helps to spend an hour on youtube also, watch some reviews - see what people are saying about a particular juice before you buy it. Not exact science - but helpful.

Which was what I figured was happening here. (But we already know said vendor won't tell her what the juice brand is, because he wants to mark it up at criminal prices.)
Never thought about generic brands, but yes, that is entirely possible too. I think we can all agree that whatever the juice is, it's likely something "simple" and quite probably something easy to replicate or "tweak" another juice to get something similar.
Biggest problem with a thread like this is that taste is subjective - what may be sweet, or strong, or floral flavoured to one, may not be to another...
I will be mailing the last few drops to Jack tomorrow for a thorough analysis, hopefully I left him enough to work with, and I will let everyone know when the test results are in!
