I know JC have had a bad reputation in the past for killing atomisers. I have just had 2 510s and one kissbox attys die whilst using JCs Chocolate truffle PG 18mg Smoke Juice. It even turned a further brand new kissbox atty into a vapourless sludgefest within two hrs of using it.. why did i carry on? Well brand new 1FL OZ and the constant thought may be it is just a coincidence.

Just my imagination? If someone else uses this type with no problems pls let me know, otherwise be warned.

I've been using JC - artic menthol and french vanilla - and have all of my atty's. Some work better than others but I have not lost one and JC is my go to fluid. I've tried a ton of other stuff but always come back to the JC. Might be the Chocolate?

Been dripping exclusively JC juice on two 510 atties...and they're still going strong after almost a month of use.

My Janty atomizers seem to be dying off rather quickly using the Chinese stuff...

I Maintain them both the same, blow them out and leave them overnight upsidedown to drain on a tissue.

Using JC Mint Chocolate, French Vanilla and Chocolate Truffle exclusively with two 510 attys and my 401s and I haven't had any problems. If anything the draw is easier as the JC liquid is thinner than the vg I was using.
I'm dripping and filling carts, btw.

Use on JC and never had problems. Bl cherry, espresso, jc original and tennessee cured. Yum!

Since I started using JC exclusively, my first two attys lasted about 8 weeks each. (They were used in tandem: one on my 510 for portable use and one on my Prodigy for home use.) I'm on my third now, sharing it with my Prodigy and Protege. It's been about 4 weeks and still going strong. I've had no problems so far.

After trying several other brands. Ive decided that JC offers the most unique flavor. While JC's formula seems to be slightly thinner then other liquids it still performs perfectly. I've never lost an atomizer because of it other then user error while drinking rum

Maybe it's not the juice, but human error instead. I use JC too and my atty's are work fine. JC juice is thinner, so you have to be careful not to flood the atty repeatedly. That could be why your atty's are dying.

Also, are you sure they're dead? have you tried cleaning them? Sometimes that'll bring it back to life. And an atty will appear "dead" when it's flooded. try removing the atty and blowing into the battery side of the atty to blow out all the excess fluid.

JC is and has been my liquid of choice. I have yet to lose an atty. I have flooded them! LOL I order high nic and cut with PG and some VG. I use black cherry, peach, original and tenn. cured. I have vaped since the end of July 2009. I do have one bottle of JC original that I think may be way strong, but the nic level is NOT designated. I contacted them and they were supposed to send me a label to return it, but they haven't so I am thinking of ditching it. That is the only problem I have had so far with it.

JC is also my go to jc, and I have been using it for months, and my attys are still going strong after a few months. I occassional flood my attys and after blowing out they still work fine.
