Johnson Creek Smoke Juice

Ordered some today, will let you know the verdict!

I just got a sampler pack from e-cigs UK and have been working my way through it. Liquid is clear, no particles, no atomiser issues so far.

To me they smell lovely (apart from the tobacco ones) but the taste of all of them so far is pretty subtle. My favourite so far is the vanilla.

I'm sure it's all a matter of personal tastes when it comes to e-liquids, but I gotta tell you that for me personally, Johnson Creek juices are the worst that I've ever tried.
I also have at least 3 personal friends who have ordered Johnson's Creek juices and they all agree that it's terrible.
It seems watery, and thin, and tastes terrible.
I can't believe that this is all that they produce. You'd expect a superb product, right?

Pure Smoker's Cash Premium on the other hand, is excellent.
Wasted a bunch of money and time on Johnson Creek.

Yes, the liquid is too thin, and it seems to just disappear very quickly - not much taste, not much vapor, and the cart is dry in no time. Although they peach cobbler tasted fine (the strawberry was way too subtle), the consistency is wrong. A pity, because I liked the notion of something not coming from China and having a sealed cap....

Is the regular pg JC juice any better than the non-pg jc juice?

Sipping Cash's pure vanilla in my pen style right now whilst drinking a raspberry chocolate porter. Who needs calories?

It produces more vapour but has less "throat hit". I prefer the taste of the propylene glycol. I also find it produces less of a sore throat. I don't smoke for the flavour or throat hit, though, so I prefer it.

Glycerine has a higher viscosity than propylene glycol. I would expect its surface tension would differ (but it's a mixture, so this is going to be unpredictable.) This will also change the way it wicks. I suspect JC water it down so that it has similar flow characteristics to the "regular" e-juice.

I agree with this post. I ordered the sample pack from JC - The tastes were too subtle and barely any vapor. I think Cash's menthol might have killed my taste or something (but I love the strong taste of the premium mint/menthol) I also tried using several different atomizers to not mix the flavors (also to make sure it wasnt the atomizers fault re vapor) - taste just wasnt strong enough and not nearly as much vapor as I get from Cash's juice.

Well I have managed to work my way through all 6 of the 10 flavors in the sampler. Great (though mild) flavor on all of them so far. The Vanilla ice cream isn't mild, it's simply wonderful! Peach cobbler too is exceptional though I wish it was stronger flavored.
Vapor production is nice BUT I do have a complaint. The juice seems watery and just doesn't last through many puffs at all. Perhaps 10-12 puffs from a 901 cart and maybe 5 when dripping 2 drops directly on the atomizer. In comparison to Cash's juice I get 47 (yep I kept tally) puffs between topping off my carts, and a much stronger flavor to boot! I'm just not sure that it is worth fiddling around topping off as much as the JC liquid seems to require.

I've the PG formula in case anyone is wondering. I'll probably end up ordering a bottle of the vanilla ice cream to have on hand all the time and devote a atomizer to it strictly for a occasional special treat. I'll live day to day on Cash's liquid or LiteCig USA liquid though just for the flavor strength and the length it continues to produce vapor.

This would mean Cash's 36mg juice is equivalent, per puff, to Johnson Creek's 11mg juice (taking into account the non-standard JC mg/1.2mL system.) Or, equivalently, 24mg Johnson Creek juice is equivalent per puff to Cash's (future? I want it now) 115mg juice. Something doesn't add up.

I got both the PG and the NPG samplers. I didn't mind most of them, but the fruit ones, especially the peach cobbler, turned a bit sour for me. The tennessee cured is the least bad tasting e-liquid I have tried, and I too quite liked the vanilla one, though less so. I couldn't taste much difference apart from the back of my throat burning between PG and non-PG. I've said before I'm sort of locked into Johnson's Creek, being the only glycerine-based eliquid supplier.
