Hi, I'm new, but have been vaping since August.
We don't have the range of flavours and producers down here in Australia, so I've been sticking with what I can get locally or from Australia.
I started off with Hangsen and Dekang, but was not really impressed with many. I ended up playing alchemist and mixologist, or just diluting them down with PG/VG to make them bearable. I guess my preferences don't match the Asian market (though I cook up a storm in a wok and have more asian sauces than a bogan should ever have need for).
But I noticed Liqua brand at health cabin and thought I'd give them a go. Italian flavour 'design', but chinese made and 75/25 VG/PG. I haven't tried any fasttech ones though, just the ones HC sells. Should be the same, but with FT you never know do you?
They sold a box with flavours in 10ml as a sampler, no choice in the flavours. In the box was:
Fruits:
Apple
Citrus
Berry mix
Cherry
Grape
Strawberry
Others:
Coffee
Tiramisu
Menthol
Tobacco:
Bright
For the fruits, I'd probably only vape them if I was getting drunk on white wine. Just fake lolly flavours, not my style. Though out of them if you are into fake lolly flavours citrus and apple were the best. Berry mix and strawberry next. Grape took a lot of trying to even put up with it, cherry I never liked, not even close.
Tobacco, the bright was supposed to be a marlboro type. Couldn't stand the real thing and didn't like this, tastes like ashtray. Though I have found it handy to add a few drops in other tobacco types if they are way too sweet.
Coffee was a real black coffee taste. A suprise as most other coffee flavours on other brands are sweet and syrupy. But like those in the know about coffee ejuice, this does taste kind of burnt after a very short while.
Menthol is good for a menthol flavour, I prefered it to dekang menthol.
Tiramasu was my favourite. To stop me vaping it all up I put a bit into a coffee vape (not just the liqua coffee, but another brand of syrupy coffee as well, the three of them mixed together make it my favourite coffee vape)
Others:
As well as the 10 x 10ml pack sampler I took a chance buying liqua cigar, and liqua turkish.
The cigar is good. But first I will say it's nothing like a cigar. It's very sweet like a honey vanilla tobacco flavour Secondly I will say it's way way way better than anything I've tried that actually is a sweet flavoured tobacco flavour, but it's just not a cigar flavour. What I mean is I've tried a local supplier's cigar and their honey nut tobacco, and RY4 types and they were terrible. This is what a sweet tobacco flavour should be!
It's to this one though I add a bit of the liqua bright tobacco flavour to, to make it less sweet as it is very sweet indeed, maybe cut the flavour down with some PG as well. After that, it's a very nice sweet flavoured tobacco vape. I enjoy it with a glass of scotch personally.
Turkish tobacco is good for people that want a cigarette flavour when for changing to vaping from smoking. I used to smoke tobacco rather than smoke cigarette though, so I found it very mild in flavour (I switched from cigarettes to tobacco [RYO - roll your own)] 18 years ago because I found normal cigarettes quite bland and dry), but liqua turkish juice is the only tobacco I didn't mind. And I'll keep it for mixing with any other tobacco flavours I might buy and find too sweet later on.
So to wrap it all up, I preferred Liqua over most brands I could get from China, (there's not much Hangsen or Dekangs that I like at
all, also I don't have the budget to allow me to order anything from USA or Europe. But there's a few interesting flavours from Liqua that are cheaply available from China.
e:
There is a few local AU brands I have now that I prefer over liqua, but for their price and the fact that they are with nic, Liqua have some decent offerings. My last overseas order I put in for more cigar, tiramisu and citrus (for the nights that I want to drink cheap white wine
), and I'm going to try french pipe too.
