Vapor Station rebranded and renamed Dekang?

[bogeyjim]

Just got my vs order in today. I bought Seattle and Frisco.

Seattle tastes identical to dk menthol and Frisco tastes just like dk tab....

Hmmmm.

 

[GracieM]

Recieved my order yesterday, I noticed it was different as well. I was nervous seeing the bottle. Tasting it, I have DK and that is exactly what it reminds me of also. I'm sad if they decided to change from original. Frisco among the other VS liquids are unique and Frisco was fast becoming my main vape. Back to trying to find a new main vape UGH.

Jim, with your location I'm surprised you didn't get TAMPA!

If VS has changed their formulas then I'm going to be a sad vaper, because I've been a regular customer for Frisco and Phoenix.

Gracie, Im going to try Line Rider from Nite Lite Vapor for a nutty tobacco flavor.

 

[GracieM]

I emailed VS. They assured me it is the same recipe. I'm going to take him at his word and let it sit. It is strange that it seems so different. But there is no reason for him to just say this. Especially since he says it is the best seller and they wouldn't change it. Why would they do that? Wouldn't make sense. So whatever the issue is with it, I'm going to to wait it out and see. Try a few others to pass the time

Tastes change from time to time. If it's you that is sensing a difference, try drinking a lot of water to hydrate yourself. Vape something else for a while to challenge your taste buds and then come back to the original juice. Some people use a cinnamon juice for this.

I don't think it's Dekang. They get their base from India. That's what give their base a unique flavor.

 

[bogeyjim]

Its not unique however. Seattle tastes identical to dk menthol and frisco is just an overpowering DK Ry4..... with some clove in it or something...??

Anyways, im still gonna vape the stuff, I was just asking if you guys have heard anything about this.

I dont want anything to do with Tampa We are actually moving to Colorado in 3 weeks I hate to sound like negative nancy, but this is probably the worst town Ive ever lived in.

 

[GracieM]

It is definitely different. I was concerned it was changed. Frisco is very distinct with taste and scent. I have Tampa and Frisco. Both seem the exact same. Lack of flavor. I thought perhaps there was an error and missing flavorings added or something. Busy time of year and they moved so I wrote them.

I wouldn't have given it any mention if it were just off in taste. It really is different. Seeing your post confirmed it wasn't just my order. I'll wait it out. Either it will steep, like suggested or I'll get a new order and hope it's the same again.

I have nothing but praise for VS. Excellent juice, good price and fast shipping. It's nice they got back to me and quickly.

My sister love Tampa. The juice, not the town- never been there. That's all she vapes. She was a Marlboro smoker. I don't mind DK menthol, I get it from Rocky Mt Vapors. Sorta glad I just ordered the Frost and not the Seattle. I don't vape it straight though, I add it to all my fruity juices.

I think they're one of the best vendors around. If you can find a juice you like from them, all the better. Love the glass bottles and how they list all the ingredients on the bottle.

Looks like they're getting rid of a lot of their juices though. They used to have some good non-tobacco juices.

 

[GracieM]

These weren't in glass bottles this time. They were the plastic bottles, squeezing the bottle to get drops out. I like the bottle with dropper better but not a big deal. I hope once they settle in their new location that they again offer some of the other flavors that I haven't had an opportunity to try.

 

[bogeyjim]

Yep frisco came in a plastic bottle with a dripper top.....

not what i was expecting.

Anyways, Frisco is for sale in the classifieds, let me know if you want it! Its up for trade as well.

Ill vape through the seattle only because its menthol, not the menthol im looking for but menthol nonetheless

Jim

The plastic bottles may have something to do with the change in flavor--don't know, but maybe.

 

[bogeyjim]

I dunno either... oh well

 

[radamist]

I have DK-Tab PG eliquid from goodejuice and personally don't think it tastes like Frisco unless there are some other versions of Dk-Tab I'm not aware of. I know DK-Tab is sold by many vendors and I guess taste varies from one vendor to another so I wont be surprised if there is a Dk-Tab that tastes like Frisco and if it's true I want to know where did you get your Dk-Tab because I like Frisco

 

[stephpd]

Not sure about the two flavors listed but I do like their Tennessee and RY4. Tennessee being my vape when craving an analog. The RY4 is my all day vape. (along with a caramel tobacco flavor from topvapor)

I've tried Tampa and Seattle (not a menthol fan)

I've got some DK Tab and DK RY4, from another vendor, but they have a nasty taste to me. I'm steeping them and hoping it'll improve.

We don't sell Dekang liquids. Ew.

To my estimation, the batch smells and tastes slightly off, but it's nothing tragic - my guess is it's missing an ingredient or one of the flavoring agents was weaker than normal. I don't vape anymore (completely nicotine free for 6 months), but Frisco is Chuck's main vape and he seems happy enough with it - but agrees on comparison to the old batch that it's off.

In the meantime we have marked Frisco down to $6/$12 from $7.50/$13.75.

We've also pushed another purchase order through on a new batch of Frisco. We will clearly distinguish the two batches on the website once the new batch is received.

Thank you all for bringing the problem to our attention.

I'm really sorry for any inconvenience any of you have experienced.

I'm awaiting response from Inra, who will be sending me the batch setup list so we can figure out whether or not the issue is a missing/wrong ingredient. Anyone who has ordered the Frisco from this batch and is not content with the product they've received, please PM me here.

 

[simply me]

May be it is a super fresh batch and it needs to sit a little. Frisco and DK are two different taste. Not alike at all.

How many vendors would post that on a message board? I'm pretty impressed- even though you don't vape anymore.

J/K, congrats!
