Hangsen, Dekang and Liqua ... any good?

[Bluefish]

I've had a dekang double menthol, or something like that and was pleasantly surprised, would have it again, but the hS menthol sensation is brilliant, as is the storm although the mrs don't like the smell of it lol have a couple of liqua's but not tried yet, i'm not going to run out of juice any time soon

[doctorjellybean]

Looking at the mostly PG liquid I got from Paradise Vape, what strikes me the most is how colourless it is (2nd from the left). Well, almost. Certainly compared to the other bottles. And, no, the Pot Noodles isn't a juice

I use Hangsen juices a lot - My local shop stocks them as it's main juice supplier and tbh I get on with them really well.

Their Blueberry is really mild tasting, in fact I often mix it in the tank with say, Dekang's RY4 to sweeten it up a little bit without polluting the flavour too much, or to make particularly strong flavours a little bit more mild without altering them too much from stock.

I never seem to have to steep the Blueberry, but I did get a bottle of Choc-Cherry that really benefited from a couple of weeks locked up, but then again it may well be that Blueberry is just so mild that you don't really notice the "un-steepishness" (??).

I've got a bottle of their Mango and Coconut steeping atm, I'll leave them a week before I crack them open.

On the whole I have no probs with Hangsen juice - Cheap (fiver for 30ml) and readily available (10mins down the road from me and good opening hours @weekends at the bricks & mortar shop), and every flavour has at best been really nice, and at worst pretty inoffensive so I can't complain.

Sure, it might not be as exciting as some fabulous, bespoke concoction but for just every day, getting on with life vaping I find them ideal.

All three are pretty good ..... in flavour strengths there seems to be a pattern. Liqua has the more subtle flavours, Hangsen sit right in the middle and Dekang come straight at you! But .... they are all high quality IMHO.


Dekang American Red is the closest to real tobacco that I have so far encountered. (Still looking though)


Jag. (Just TOO many choices.)

Can I be honest. (??)... bearing in mind taste is subjective

I have tried over 20 Dekang, probably 15+ Hangsen and more or less the entire liqua range.

Of these, I find Liqua the most insipid and bland, by a long way too. Even weird flavours like "grape" and "berry" (which are not the nicest, but at least have quite strong flavours) leave me disappointed. There are a few half decent tobaccos, "Bright" is OK, and "Turkish" certainly one to try.... I bought 30ml of "Traditional" from fasttech (the only liquid I ever bought from there...in with another order).. but it remains mostly unvaped.

I detest RY4 with a passion, but happily vape RY6 (both Hangsen). I have purchased and vaped Menthol sensation, Impulse, Storm.

I'm currently working my way through 4 Dekang from myepack. No bad ones, but no "keepers" either. Kind of on the fence. (Western Conqueror is quite nice, I wrote a review).
Dekang DK tab was what got me off the fags, so fair play.

I would really like to love one or two of these liquids, but have yet to find a super one.

I guess what I am saying is my "hit rate" is too low with these brands and I shan't ever buy Liqua again. Even the Citrus (I love Citrus) was just so dull.

I'm not giving up though...and RY6 will always be in my vape box.

Any good ones out of the 20 dekang and 15 hangsen? Thinking about ordering a bunch to try on FT. I'm quite into tropical fruits, deserts and tobacco/cigar - everything really. Quite a fan of El Toro Juices and some Fuzion Vapor, Ruthless & Adam Bomb but they're too expensive. I want a cheap all day vape!

Not really. I can't find a single fruit or sweet in the ranges of D & H that I can even vape. They are universally not to my liking at all.

Only the tobacco flavours have survived the long-term test.


edit - just noticed how old this thread was.

Yep - not a single bottle of fruit or sweet-type remains in my juice box. Just down to RY5, RY6 (Hangsen) Dark USA, Triple 5, Western conqueror, DY4 (Dekang).

All I use is dekang, hangsen and JooseJuice.For tobacco flavours I prefer dekang RY4 and Hill blend,also JooseJuice Black gold.

Take a look MrE-cig and JooseJuice good selection and affordable prices.


Mind that Joose Juice will need steep at least 2 weeks.

Yep. 3 of my favourites right there. Black Gold is the only Joose Juice I can vape. Lovely stuff.

If only I could find good cheap juice - I suppose it could learn to love it for £3 for 50ml haha. Maybe I can taste the value? Thanks for the responses! Joost seems worth a try - cool how you can specify flavour strength and pg/vg - nice. Great prices on mr e liquid too. Hope i can find a bargain!

I would say all three of those juices are shite homes

Well that's one way of putting it, don't beat about the bush hey

I have tried a dozen or more of Hangsen, and the same of dekang, and not liked any.

Joose Their menthol is good .

Liqua I have never had.

You gets what you pay for I guess.

No such thing as good cheap juice?

LT-ecigs are the cheapest palatable ones for anyone with any taste buds.

Other companies yes one or two may suit, but it can work out very expensive trying their entire range to find that one, plus when you have then tried other more expensive ones you realise actually they are just palatable, rather than lush.

The exception seems to be tobacco flavours and menthol.

Is Mr E Cig fake hangsen - I don't think they do vimto or skittles flavours.

True - but he's right - Dekang juices managed to successfully put me off vaping on my first attempt, took me another year to have another go - I have yet to find a palatable Chinese juice (I am picky mind).

Menthol aside (which to be fair can be replicated yourself using some menthol chrysalis dissolved in PG) Joose juices stuff is not good - or not good at the percentage they premix at anyway

There is but it involves mixing it yourself.

Currently I mainly vape Red Astaire and Pink Spots flavours - both high end brands that are pricey premixed but costs me about £1 per 10mls to mix myself.

I never found LT palatable either - there is a really odd note in all their flavours (think it might be the bases they use actually).
