Johnson Creek Smoke Juice: New & Improved - Comment, anyone?

[Kimmiegrif]

No probs here, been using it for over a month. (sample pack pg low, chocolate almond dec.)

I ordered October 24th from E-SmokeyTreats. Got 2 of the sampler packs (one for me, one for my hubby). After less than a week of use with no flavor mixing, both of us are now out an atomizer for our DSE901. This was our first foray into e-smoking, so we didn't know much at all about them. After bothering to educate ourselves by reading this forum, we discovered threads like this. If you hold the bottles up to a light, you can see a HUGE amount of sediment in them that almost looks like mucous or something. I don't know if these sampler packs were from the new batch or if the site we ordered from was shipping out old product...Just emailed Phil to let him know and am still waiting for a reply.

I wouldn't use that juice, it doesn't sound good, it might have bacteria or something growing in it.

Would a mod please consider putting this thread on the review board? It keeps getting lost in the general section.

I was initially put off the new batch of JC, because one of my atomizers died soon after using it, and the other one became really weak. Well, the dead one is still dead, but the weak one improved some after cleaning it. Since then, I used it for one JC flavor (strawberry), occasionally mixing it with Puresmoker's strawberry. I don't use it a lot, but it's still alive after a few weeks. Also, I do not have any sediment in the bottles (at least, not any that I can see). So, I am slowly convincing myself that my one and only atomizer death with JC might have been a coincidence. I have several atomizers and batteries, and I have used them for about 7 weeks, so I seem to be doing well with them. I am, on the other hand, a veritable serial killer of batteries. I wonder whether I have some sort of devastating personal magnetism that interferes with them (but ONLY with them, alas....).

I just took this pick of the Wild Cherry. This stuff is in every one of the samples we have, 20 bottles worth. Some have more than others.

I bought the sample pack from JC and one interesting thing occurred. Some flavors have small black particles in it. I don't know what is it. In three days using the liquids, I perceived that my pen from Puresmoker diminished so much in vapour production. I cleaned my atomizer with boiled water and now it's like new. I think JC liquid continues ruining atomizers.

I'm quite interested in this thread since JC is the only commercial supplier afaik who produce the glycerine variant of the juice ,which I find less irritating.

I doubt it's mould or bacteria in the PG stuff, since the stuff is composed of nicotine and PG. But it would be good if they employed a consultant pharmacist to figure out what's happening.

I was also a little concerned by a post in which JC admitted:

a batch that wasn't complete yet and had only about one tenth the amount of VG it was supposed to have, accidentally got bottled and sent out.

but apparently failed to realize of what this would do to nicotine levels, later saying

Well....I don't know about throwing it out. After all, even bad Johnson Creek is still great e-liquid

Ok, sorry...couldn't resist

WHOA !!! that's just absurd.....right that's it.

No more JC for me.....not worth the bother....

Kinda off topic, but I just wanted to post this since I did mention that we had gotten this stuff from E-smokeytreats. Phil got back to me very swiftly and is more than willing to make everything right. Just thought he deserved credit for it since it's not like he makes the stuff, it's actually JCs problem. Still, he stands behind what he sells and I still highly recommend the site.

Its such a shame the JC juice is going up the creek. I hope they get the problems sorted soon so I can finally pluk up the courage to try some, I have on muiple occasions been ready to try some and then found bad posts about the liquid having particles and ruining atomisers.
