Dekang tastes like the country its made in cheap.... Any ejuice from UK, US and some EU suppliers are far far superior.

As one could say, do China make good wines?, good spirits? nope don't think so, they simply do not have the taste for quality unlike our western/European friends. Not saying its a bad thing and do not take my comment as racist but I think due to cultural conditioning China do not have the range of tastes like us.

Anyone else agree or am I talking cacka again?

I am sure that half the e liquid coming out of china is made in back streets in 45 gallon drums out of the old cig buts swept up from the streets. I am still at the try anything stage of vaping and most of the chinese e liquids ive tried are rank  icon_faintbut i look on it as all part of lerning .So long as it dosnt remove the lining of my lungs (witch some of it feels it might )

I really don't like to see the belittling of the Chinese to be honest, which seems very common on vaping forums. Yes there is some cheap crap comes out of China in every industry but some great too, there's some cheap crap comes out of every country but I guess China makes a large percentage of everything so somes under fire more, if it wasn't for the Chinese there would probably not be any forums for them to be slated on and lets not forget they founded this industry.
Just to add I've had terrible juices from all over the world and good ones, it's not specific to any country.

Hi dj,i noticed you mentioned ibreathe on your post.What do you think of there liquids?? A shop in my Town that sells all kind of stuff,has ibreathe e-liquid behind the counter.I was tempted to buy some,but I have never heard of it.I looked on there website and it seels for £4.59 for 10ml,but the shop in my town sells what says ibreathe on the box for£3.99,its maybe off the back of a lorry??

They look like re-branded Gold/Silver Dekang to me Ray:

Although Djs says they're not?

This is my theory....I'm testing it out.

My initial impressions of iBreathe (I've tried 6 or 7) is that it's OK e-liquid. It has a scary ingredient list, but I suspect it is a generic list for the boxes.

It's widely available around this area at market stalls. Basically, from what I can work out, the wholesaler is midlands based and is selling to all comers in the market trade.

I DO love the mango, and sorry to say it is not re-bottled dekang. Shame.

Around here, it's 3 for £10 or £11.

Dekang Silver Label Double mint. My all day every day vape. It is delicious. I buy it from the link perps posted and the owner is awesome, one of the kindest vendors I have known in this industry.

The juice has the taste of mint, but the sensation of menthol. Heaven in a vape-pipe (though I don't have a pipe and can confirm it is heaven in any ecig!)

Completely agree Mev.

Hi Perpetua,i don't want to buy dekang,i was just asking what you guys thought of ibreathe,cause I had never heard of them,and was just wondering if this stuff they sell in my local shop was Genuine e-liquid,or fake nasty stuff.

I'd go in the shop and ask them myself Ray . . . they'll either give you an explanation and some to try. Or ask you to leave.

Then they should improve their Quality control. Its a no brainer, people would not belittle the Chinese if they put pride into their craftsmanship rather than being interested in mass volume production at the expense of quality.

Yes other countries can be just the same, but as far as I can see non Chinese vaping products tend to be handmade or at the very least detailed machined pieces of art.

So if you look at the bigger picture honestly it would be 80% specific to China so it kind of backs up my initial comment. I don't hate them, an I am sure I will continue to buy products made in China, but still it does not change the quality issues with the majority of their products both vaping and non vaping. Tho I will say they are getting better!

Its Courses for horses, you pay for what you get which I am thankful that we have the option to choose and we are blessed with a vast array of suppliers! Its cool being a vaper huh?

I understand there's some inferior products out there from some Chinese manufacturers, Tobeco being one company that comes to mind who seems to make poor products/replicas usually, but as a customer it's up to us to do a little leg work and filter out the wheat from the chaff. For me it's the same with anything you're buying, TV's, PC's, Laptops etc and always do some research first.
Personally if looking for an Ego type battery I would only buy Joytech because of known good quality and there being so many poor imitations out there, this isn't to say there are no decent imitations but buying Joytech takes that chance out of the equation for me. But that just shows there's good and bad Chinese products, not all bad.
