Hey,

Just started with ecigs 3 weeks ago just discovered your forum while looking for juice online.

Nothing bigtime yet just a single ego 650 bat and a t2 with some coil replacements and a charger so far trying to ease into this without a major financial commitment.

So far so good i have thought about buying regs a couple times but haven't yet.

local juice is a little on the costly side at 7.50 for a 7 ml bottle.

Tried a 15 mil of some vanilla from mt baker wouldn't say it was bad though even with an extra shot the flavor seemed muted to me and feel i need a stronger flavor without the need to ad flavor shots to it.

A question i have for people that have been ordering from fasttech is an order i placed today isnt scheduled to be delivered until the 6th even though the product was in stock is this normal and does this mean it will be around 10 days from that date that i should expect it?
Makes me wonder why it takes 5 days to ship out 2 bottles of juice unless they are drop shipping from another distributor.

Trying a couple 50 ml of dakang juice one is redbull the other is vanilla the reviews claim the flavor is pretty strong though the pg to vg ratio is a little bit more pg than id like i planned on cutting it back with a little pg since its 24mg of nicotine and i prefer the 18 anyways.

I know i should try the smaller bottls first but at a little over 5 bucks for 50 ml i really wont be out much money for 100ml of juice.

Anyone tried either of these flavors from dekang?

Wow sorry for the wall of text on my first post im rambling.

Hey koto,
Don't have the answers to a lot of your questions, but I use the same basic setup as you most of the time (650+T2) and I'm just now branching out & experimenting with flavors after 1.5 years of vaping.
First thing is DON'T GO BACK TO THE REGS!!! As bad as you may want to, just think about all the downsides (i.e. stinkiness & death) and vape whatever you have until the feeling passes.

I've never ordered from fasttech but I've been a loyal vaporstation customer for over a year and I can tell you that Eric has fast shipping and great liquids. Sounds like you're looking for flavors that I don't usually gravitate towards, so I can only suggest trial & error. you may spend a lil' more up front but finding that perfect match for you will be worth it. Reviews are great, but flavor is very subjective.

$7.50 for 7ml is pretty steep but not outrageous. Mail order is always a crap shoot but cheaper in the long run. My advice is, once you find some things you like, stock up & stick with them. Nothing better than coming home after a days work & finding a fresh, new bottle of juice waiting for you in the mailbox.
In any case, good luck and when you tire of the T2, I'd suggest an EVOD tank. It doesn't hold as much juice, but it's MUCH less maintenance & a much better vape, IMHO. Godspeed!

Yeah, that's about right, actually on the fast side for FastTech. I order a few things form them and, it can take as long as 30 days to get stuff - it comes form China.

A lot of people find Dekang juice chemical or medicinal tasting and don't like it at all. I like some of it, but some is bad.

Oh Xenu, a Rush fan ... a person after my own heart.
I just placed my first order with Fasttech today, for a couple of 3400 mAh batteries and some drip tips. I'll be curious to see how long it takes. I'm still eyeing their deals on mods. JD

I have not tried either of those flavours. I do have B&H Sons by Dekangs, which is absolutely terrible. It tastes nothing like the real thing and has to funky scent to them. I have also tried their mango juice and it is ok. The mango taste is ok and has a weird chemical taste as well, but not nearly as bad. If you don't like the Redbull I suggest Flavor Crafters Red Energy. I find it tastes a lot like the real thing.

Editied for a typo I noticed.

I enjoyed the mbv but felt like the base flavor was too muted i don't know if they do this to make some extra money on the shots or not which wouldn't bother me since its pretty value priced ejuice ill just know to order 2-3 shots in my next flavor i get from them.

I personally don't have high expectations from the dekang it was more of a move to get me some backup juice in case i ever run out so i wont have to pay the local price while waiting on new vape mail to come in.

 

[kotobide]

Yeah after i get some more juices in stock at home i plan on a second ego 1300 mah battery ive been eying on fasttech not one of the 5 buck ones will probably die on me in short time but the ones 9.00 or more appear more solid.

Next id really like to pick up an rba to try out dripping so i wont have to have an empty clearomizer to test out new flavors and id like to check out dripping in general.

 

[kotobide]

Ive only tried 3 tobacco flavored juices and at this point none have hit it right for me.

The more stuff ive tasted the more i enjoy things that don't taste like tobacco in any way which feels kinda odd to me.

 

[kotobide]

so like it gets stuck in customs or something?

 

[szot]

Customs has a lil to do with it, in San Fran...its being tranfrerred from the Chinese postal system to the US postal system and customs may play a small role..everything is air shipped but things do take time when 2 countries are involved....try the RY4 and 555 from MBV...and no liquid taste anything like a real analog....why would U want something that taste nasty like analogs, when that's the point that U are trying to get away from?...I don't like real sweet or fruity flavors but 555 and RY4, to me are a lil caramel and liquorice but not overbearing...enuff to satisfy the taste buds without tasting like trash like Marlboros or other analogs..

 

[kotobide]

Ive noticed the more i vape the less i want anything that tastes even remotely like tobacco. When ive tried tobacco flavored juices is when ive personally had the cravings for regs kick in because nothing will taste like them so it sorta feels like im being cheated out of the taste i once enjoyed you know what i mean?

The cheapest juice you can get is juice you mix yourself.. You will need to do some studying on the subject. Check out the DIY eJuice sub forum and all the info you need is there..

I personally enjoy a good Turkish tobacco once in a great while, but they're hard to find, and generally not worth it as I know I tire of it after a few hits, so the rest of the bottle just sits, and sits, and sits, ergo I suggest trying a fruit/coffee/dessert/etc flavor instead of tobaccos. I've never had issues with MBV's flavors being muted, you may need to wait on your taste buds to recover, or try exhaling some of the vapor through your nose. That'll also help with nicotine absorption which may or may not be something you care about depending on the strength of liquids you use. I noticed after I started using the nose exhale I could cut my nicotine level almost in half, from 24mg to 12mg, and get the same fix in the same amount of puffs. You also may want to look at your delivery system, the T2 in this case, never used one myself but I know some toppers can mute or otherwise distort flavors. I run Evods now and have never looked back, used to use V-Nano clearos (not bad, just too small) and a Vivi Nova Mini (muted most flavors for some reason) which I've given away to folks just starting out and wanting something better than CE4s or cartos.
