Post Flavors and Brands that you have tried and loved and would recommend.


My favorite so far has got to be the Hangsen Watermelon. 16 MG/ML
Purchased from e-cig India.
Price Rs 390/-

Methods used to smoke it.
a. T2 Tank.
b. Carto.

Flavor in carto is any time better than the tank. Tanks seem to loose their ability to give you good taste and smoke in a week. Then you need to replace the coil and wicks.

I also Tried Indian Tabaco at 24 MG/ML again from e-cig guys again from Hangsen and same price 390/- but did not like the taste.
Guys who are using LiteJoy Carto. you can pop the white cover on the back and re-fill the carto at least a few times.

Items under Review.
a. Apple Pie 24 Mg/ML
b. Blood Orange 12 MG/ML

Smoked in:
Kangertech II Pro Min
KangerTech T3D (Dual Coil).

Pirce paid: 2$ for Sample Bottle. The Blood Orange was thrown in for free. 3ml

Flavour:
As both the tanks where brand new the flavour hit was superb.
Im going to rate the Flavours on a 5 Star system with 5 Stars being the best and 1 Start being the worst.

Apple Pie:
The second we took a hit. I could tell that the purity of Nicotine was something my brain has never experienced. You could feel something going on in your head. I had been smoking the Indian E-Juice for weeks. This thing hit clean. No mistaking the quality of Nicotine here.

Apple Pie:
Nicotine Strength: 5 Star
Flavor : Apple pie. 4.5 Star
Smoke: 4 Star.

Blood Orange:
Smoke in both the Pro Tank II and the T3D.
Nicotine Strength: 4 Start
Flavour : 2 Star. (Ok so I dont like Blood Orange Flavor). Some people may.
Smoke: 4 Star.

received some e-juices from e-sutta today.
Mango-24mg
Fruit Punch 24mg
Blueberry 16mg

Only tried fruit punch
Review- Fruit punch
First time trying 24mg.. And all i can say is damn.. that's some hard shit.i Just cant chain vape this. Atleast not now.
Throat hit is hard. @ron.. Maybe this is diluted a lil bit.. But i can tell im high after 2 puffs.
Im not sure 24mg is what i like to be using.. Ill switch back to 16mg next time.
Flavour- Its there but quite subtle. There's more smell than flavor. The flavor is mostly aftertaste. You taste it while exhaling. Wouldve really preferred more flavour. Yes, tastes like fruit punch
Smoke- i got much better smoke from diy juice. Though i cant take long draws in this due to nicotine. Still wouldve preffered more smoke.
Flavour-3 stars
Smoke- 3 stars
Nicotine strength: 3.5 stars

When changing flavours be sure to flush your tank with ipa. (Iso Propyl Alcohol). And then dry the wicks.
I now keep separate tanks for separate flavors.
Also T2 tanks tend to loose their ability to give you a good flavor hit over time. Which is why I think your brain loves whatever the first flavor you taste on it.

Hangsang Flavours seem to be way milder than the Dekang

Dekang Blueberry 16mg
I havent had any blueberry fruit so cant comment if it tastes the same as the fruit
i like this one. The taste is definitely there. quite sweet. tastes a little bit like the jelly on the bubble gums with jelly in the middle(boomer jelly). Much better than fruit punch though. has a nice smell to it too. Id recommend this.
Flavour- 3.5
smoke-3.5
nicotine- 4 has just about the right nic hit for me

dekang mango
doesnt taste like mango. though whatever it tastes like, it doesnt taste bad. for me 24mg means nicotine dominates the taste
Flavour- 3
smoke- 3.5
nicotine- 4
24mg is too strong for me. Throat hit is too strong. i guess i like more smoke, less nic and more frequent vaping.
Best vapour i got was with d.i y. lab glycerin + rose essence. the vapor was as much as in a proper hookah.
BTW, wouldnt recommend lab glycerin.. makes my throat dry and weird. i also tried diy hookah paste with same glycerin and the result was same
@ ron. i wash it with hot water and do a dry burn. Will try ipa this time.

Order some stuff from fastech and see how your customs behaves.
Here its straight 40%

Im intrested in getting rid of my Apple and Fruit Punch 24 MG.
And I want to get some Tabaco Flavor.
Worst case since the apple is so mild. I plan to get some good flavor essence in tabbaco flavor and add it to the apple Till Im happy with the taste.
Try Bush Pistachio flavor. Its not bad. Im doing a Vallina + Pistachio mix right now which is not half bad.

As of now all my fastech orders have come in.
There was some talk that the flavor changes based on the size you buy. So I purchased all sizes from the smallest 10 ML to the largest.
Truth be told you can hardly tell one flavor from the next. They all taste like horse piss. Yes I know at one time I used to be wow with these flavors.
Not I cant tell one from the other. Guess DIY has spoiled me.
The nicotine is there that is about the only good thing. My advise is if your starting out stick to these china brands. Cause once you go DIY. Everything else will taste like horse piss.

The Flavors I got from the USA are at a different level though. Like Apple Pie from my freedom vapes. Still blows my mind.

Today I tried wallnut 10 Ml Hangseng 16 Mg. Nothing like wallnut. Then I tried Juicy Peach. And then strawberry.
All the flavors where muted and I just put them away for now. And went back to my Pann flavor.

I am desperately trying to source more flavors form the USA. Something about the Flavors coming out of USA. Its just good shit on a level I cant put into words.
Im done with china based flavors.

Hangsen Red Cola 16mg- (from esutta)
What i ordered was not red cola but red bull/energy cow. They sent me red cola instead. Juice has a fizzy taste o it which was a surprise. Dont like it too much. Better than fruit punch. Vapable. Nothing more. When i mixed a drop this with apple, the apple tasted better. So, if you want fizz to your juice, add this. Else, dont bother.
Throat hit- 3 stars
Flavour- 2.75 stars
Nic- 3 stars - Seemed milder than the one from fasttech. Dont know if its diluted or if its that way cause of flavour.

Hangsen apple- 16mg(from fasttech)
most of my juices were dekang from esutta. they say its 100%pg.
The hangsen apple(70/30) tasted better than other stuff from dekang.. preferred the less throat hit too.
This is by no way an exceptional juice. But its better than blueberry and mango from dekang. It also seemed to have more nic than the red cola 16mg from esutta. The smell is unmistakably apple. the taste is mild.. works well with a drop of red cola juice. with the red cola juice, almost tastes like appy fizz. else, like appy, but milder.
Throat hit- 3 stars
Flavour- 3.75stars
Nicotine- 4 stars

Dekang and hangseng flavors suck ass.Ron was kind enough to let me sample a few interesting flavours on Saturday.

I tried Watermelon/muskmelon combo at 12 mg, quite liked it.
Pomegrenate is quite iffy and is something i wouldn't recommend.
Someone ran off with the whole paan stash, so no chance to test that.
Mango was interesting, tasted like frooti with a lot more sugar.
There was a peach sampler as well, but it was a little too fruity for my taste.

What I observed was minimal throat hit, good flavour and almost eye popping levels of nicotine from the RDD sample base.
To all the other e-cig users on rdd, i would recommend you start ordering stuff from ron direct.His taste buds may have been fried, but he still knows how to brew interesting flavours together.

@reaper.. damn you, you lucky fucks with access to good juices
man id buy his eliquids the moment he'll sell nic eliquid to me. Waiting for him to source some usp nicotine.

Feelife banana 18mg.
from esutta.com
I ordered banana expecting it'll not be good. Just wanted to give feelife a shot. and man am i glad i did
Before i started vaping, i saw a whole bunch of reviews and expected flavours to taste like actually eating the said thing. Hangsen and dekang never even came close.. They had a small hint of flavor. Something thats just peeking at you. im there... im not... If youve had these eliq you know what i mean. Enter feellife banana.. Recieved my package 30mins ago. Smelled it. Smelled like banana bubble gum. meh. Fruit punch smelled similiar i.e like a bubble gum and didnt taste that good.. poured some eliq into my tank ... This is not what i was expecting. This is much much MUCH better than the other two.. in 30 mins ive prolly consumed 1ml already.
I take my first puff. having bad expectations.. and it blows my mind.. partly cause of low expectations, partly cause its damn good. It doesnt taste like banana, the fruit.. Im not sure if banana taste would be that good in an eliq. First puff and im wondering where ive tasted this before.. Its soo familiar.. two puffs later and i recall this is EXACTLY like the banana flavoured milk i used to have every lunch at school when i was a boy (15-20 yrs ago). Ahhh.. memories.
Back to the eliquid.
There is little throat hit.Its quite sweet too. Just what i want. Im not sure of the pg/vg ratio. But this seems to be more vg biased. It is almost like drinking that milk. Quite close. This is what i wanted or expected when i started vaping. This bottle wont last long. Its now my new all day vape. The nicotine is definitely there.
Do remember that my experiences have only been dekang and hangsen. so you might have tasted better juices and might not feel the same way. However, This is a world apart from those 2 companies. Im itching to try the other flavours from feellife. Seeing how this costs same as other 2 chinese companies, for this (intl) price, i dont see it getting much better
Id definitely recommend this to anyone. Give it a shot.
Throat hit-2 stars( just how i want it.)
Flavor- 4 stars( not 5 cause i cant assure you that there arent any better flavours out there)
Nicotine-4 stars

Notes: tested on ego upgrade with t2 tank( dual cotton wicks I.e with flavour wick) diy 1.8 ohm coil at 4.1 and 3.7 v . taste is much better at 4.1. Also texture of Vape is much better, smoother, like milk which enhances the overall experience. Dual cotton wick cause tighter draw which also helps.

I did the same thing on my DIY i.e. custom cotton wick and thought wow. Then I put in a new coil like the ones I sold you and bang it was even better. Try a new coil it may suprise you how good a fresh coil tastes.

Bananna is a very strong flavor. Indian Palate likes strong flavors.

Tell me which of my flavors you want to taste and Ill do a one off for you with nic. I still have pann just did not have it ready to smoke. When reaper was over.
I can sugest you try pann (Very minty / methnol type you either love it or hate it. Other option is choclate coffe. Other is a mixture between watermellon + Musk mellon which is my everyday vape right now.

I want to buy some Tobacco based flavor. But am too broke to buy anything right now. What with the VTR / Segeli / every Protank ever made / batteries / charges etc picked up. Guess I will just have to wait

Im learning new tricks everyday.
The latest is you can get any liquid to taste like tobacco if you put in 2 drops of apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar.

A few more notes or feellife banana
The liquid is quite thick.And the flavour?smell is so strong that it takes a lot of washes to get rid of the smell.. but since its a sweet smell, i dont mind it much. Also thickness of liquid means wicking is harder.. more chances of dry hits
The problem with this liquid is inconsistent flavour.. I usually shake well before using e liquids. and yet, about half way into the bottle, i started hitting reserves of pg. Less flavour, more throat hit etc...
Those are my only two gripes


Hangsen grape-- tastes a bit like black grapes.. little taste..on the whole about average. Nothing great or worthwhile here

Hangsen walnut 16mg- tried with 2.2ohm kanger original coils with silica wicks
Most authentic tasting hangsen ever. I was looking for pieces of walnut in mouth after vaping this.. A very good hangsen juice if youre a nut fan. Throat hit- same as all other hangsen flavours.
4stars.. cause of authentic taste
Sadly, im not a fan of nuts.. i dont mind em.. just dont love em..
use this in seperate tank. or atleast with separate wicks+coils. The taste is also strong.. it carries well over into the next eliquid you use.and that is after washing tank and wicks. and the walnut doesnt go well with other flavours.. after walnut, tried some hangsen cotton candy in same tank and got a gag reflex.. an actual gag reflex.. and i never vomit. Only vomited once in my whole life.

Hangsen cotton candy-
Something to gift enemies with. Absolute shit.. never tasted anything worse. never smelled anything worse. If you bought it, throw it away... or pour on your body and board buses so people go away and you get seats. Im surprised that hangsen even sells this. Maybe its a preventive measure for kids to not get into vaping.Maybe it gets better after steeping a few weeks. Will report if it does.
Minus four stars(-4).

@ron... you coils are good.
Confirmed that my t2 is a clone. Coils barely fit. I need more voltage to run at 2.2ohms. In regulated its not that good. at 4.1-4.2v it tastes better. the draw is better and the smoothness is there.

Feel life Bubblegum (from e-sutta)

Nic strength: 18mg
Flavour: 3.5
Colour: Dark
Cost: 400+100 shipping (use rdd discount coupon to knock 80 bucks off that total)

Only the second juice I'm tasting after 18mg Tobacco flav nicjuice from the local pharma, so very very subjective review of flavour.
Tastes like fusen gum to me, too bad they don't give you the free transfer tattoos though. Takes a very specific vaping style to NOT get an icky aftertaste. Want to vape through your nose? I'd recommend against it with this juice, unless you like the taste of burnt rubber. Zoned in on a nice short mouth drag that only gives me the initial bubblegum taste that I quite like. All day vape? I don't think so.
Note: E-sutta only lists LOW nicotine on a lot of flavours, you'll have to ask for it in the comments part of your order.

Which brings me to
E-liquid brand "Tobacco" flavour
Nic strength: 18mg
Flavour: what flavour?
Colour: Light amber
Cost: 500

Good choice for a first juice, all things considered. Good nicotine, definitely feel it first vape in the morning just like a classic milds would. Strong throat hit.

Right on. I tried this too. Burnt rubber might be an exaggeration but the aftertaste is bad .

also tried
Feellife green apple.
Nothing great here as well. i like the hangsen apple better

Bought another feellife banana. it doesnt seem to taste as good as the first one. Still better than the other flavours ive tried. Maybe i need to add the flavor wick. But the liquid itself looks less viscous and lighter in color. Its still good. But not as good as before.
The part i like most is that when you vape it, the vape actually feels like a proper viscous liquid as it makes contact with the tongue. That might be the reason why vaping this; properly subdues your hunger
The ONLY other liquid that feels like the real thing is the hangsen walnut-16mg that ron sent me.

Hangsen ry4 16mg- fasttech
All the praises youve read about this flavor- forget it. Its a so-so liquid at best. Tobacco+nuts. Tobacco flavors arent my thing i the first place.If tobacco is something you like, it might work. But its not praise worthy.At all.

Hangsen redbull- 16mg- fasttech
Well again shouldve listened to ron :) Doesnt taste like red bull. More like cold syrup. Its not bad... vapeable. But its sure as hell not redbull like. Give it a shot if you want something different. You wont hate it. Might work as a taste clenser for the tongue cause it tastes different from all the fruit flavours. Just dont expect it to taste like redbull
Throathit is about same for all hangsen liquids of same nic level
Flavour- i dont see the point any more for rating mediocre liquids. Unless Its good enough to recommend, i wont give ratings

I had been having Mint flavor from Fasttech, 18mg/ml. Was good but nothing special. Just the minty after-taste.

From the latest flavors I bought from a shop here (Ice Cream, Grape Gutkha Pan, Sweet Pan Masala and one more). I didn't have spare wick/coil setups for my clearo until today. So the new flavor would be mixed with the old one.

I finally received my pack of 5 spare coil+wick head from Fasttech today. Tried Grape gutkha pan, as per what the guy told me, it has 10mg/ml nic in it. I can't feel anything, though that could just be due to my tolerance. Zero throat hit. This is the first time I've felt what people have talked about. Whether it was the flavor or my setup I don't know. But the taste/smell was exactly the same as the Pan Pasand candy you can buy.

I haven't tasted anything apart from this Mumbai guy's stock and Fasttech (Hangsen) so I don't know how it will compare to the stuff you guys are vaping and the stuff sold in the US. When I am about to order car parts from the US, I'll include some good e-liquids from there to see what the hype is about. Otherwise, I'm perfectly happy vaping the stuff I have. Maybe might try DIYing some e-liquids at home; how hard can it be after all.

Will post about Ice cream, sweet pan masala and other flavors in a day or two. Have been off analogs for a few days now. Had one analog today to see how it felt, my regular Marlboro Lights bought from duty free shops. The taste was pretty repulsive. The important thing to see will be how this changes as time goes on. I'll probably taper off to 3-6mg/ml nic in a month or so.

Will be buying a mech + an RDA + an RBA when finances clear up next month to blow some big clouds with a sub ohm setup. My daily setup is going to be the mech and about 10w of output. My ego battery with my iclear30 is currently about 11w of output and I love it.

Its funny how we smoke everyday and enjoyed it and after vaping for a short duration, Smoking a cig feels weird or repulsive

I smoked one after a while and it tasted like burning paper lol.
And there was no attraction left in it anymore. No throat hit, No great feeling on the first puff...
Sounds like a line from those late night Telebrands ads with before and after vids.

I wasnt even trying hard to quit. Slowly tapered off from it without really trying. Im tapering off too. Started off with 24mg, 16mg Now, i vape 11,6mg.
Sadly, my fasttech order is all 16mg. i made the order a while back.
weaning off of nicotine doesnt seem hard anymore
