The Juice Box ...My 1st Review

[WhatAClumsyGirl]

Aw thanks Clyde. I've been watching the threads but havent been posting mainly just waiting to see when others have received theirs and how its going for them.


It does take a bit of working with to get use to vaping with it and after a few months I have to say that I havent mastered it completely. At times it works great and then sometimes I end up flooding the atty. I'm not entirely sure that most of the problems everyone seems to be having with it isnt the bottle and tube. I think it may be wanting to "self juice" itself and if you arent used to that, you flood it. Mine works wonderful for a week then one day I seem to flood it. Then it will work perfectly again.

Storm mentioned turning it upside down when it floods and actually that seems to have solved most of my flooding issues. Also i mentioned blowing into the atty while covering that small hole just below ..and that clears out the flooding as well.

I vape on it at home and still love it. I carry the SB with me when i go out or to work, just because the size is easier for me to carry around.

I see a few selling theirs and I hope they arent jumping the gun. It does take time to get used to it, the vapor is different than my SB...I have to still tone down the flavor because it will cough me to death if i dont. It has the most clear vape of anything I've used thus far. I cant even describe it other than saying it's " clean".

I still think it's an awesome product, have another on order if that tells you anything. I certainly wouldnt buy two of them if i didnt really love it.

Hoping that you love yours and that you guys receive it very soon so you can form your own opinion.

Received JB 3/10/09 ordered 1/4/10. Got it around 2:30 p.m. and followed instructions. Has great vapor and TH (using diy Joy 11mg nic, 60%vg 40%pg). Still has the new atty taste (reminds me of the smell of the epoxy) that I'm sure will disapate in a few days. So far no flooding. I love the JB at this point.

Well, I've had the JB about 10 days now. I have used it exclusively for the last 3 days! Also, I vape all day long. I'm much worse than when I was on analogs. These damn things are too convenient.

I have been vaping for about 5 months now with 401's, 510's, 801's and 901's.

I'd give the CJB an 8 out of 10. minus 2 points for easy flooding.

Here is my first video review so flame away.

Now, who would flame that? Straightforward, helpful, very good! Glad to hear you've mastered the JB and are havin fun, seems quite a few are lately! (Oh great smoke rings too! )

I'll transfer the 2 points to you as extra points for making a calm, quiet (no intro music obnoxious enough to neuter cats) video. That's 10 plus 2 for a 12 on your first video attempt. Nice job, sl2222.

Thanks for the kudos guys . Maybe it'll encourage me to do more once in a while.

+2 for the 'stache.

[sl2222]

After using the JB exclusively for almost a week now I have to take another couple of points away.

Now taking into consideration that I know squat about these things I have come to the conclusion that Carlos' atty is one tough beast but...
I don't think the atty 'retains enough juice' when it's 'soaked'. I say this because there's definitely a 'sweet spot' for pressing that bottle. When u squeeze just a little too much and SLIGHTLY flood it you can clear it with a few good puffs but when it's vaping well again it doesn't seem to last for very many puffs before the flavor drops off and u need to squeeze again.
If you hit the 'sweet spot' then the same thing happens. Not many puffs before the flavor drops.

Now I know there's a learning curve but I think I've hit that thing a ton of times by now and also that atty has been 'seasoned' for sure.

Just my 2 cents.

[sl2222]

ok, ok I keep changing my mind about this mysterious CJB thingy. Since I'm not a pc person...call me a woman.

I've been pretty much chain vaping this thing and figured this atty was broken in a bit ago but no no no. Today this thing started to hold the flavor better AND is now a fog machine!
Also I've gotten pretty good at not flooding (albeit at the cost of extra burnt puffs due to favoring a light push at first and finding out I need a little harder push to juice it up). Once I have that feel tho, I can repeat it for a while till the juice in the tube gets to a different level.
The key is to know how far up the tube the juice is when it's just sitting there. If it's almost at the top where you can't see it you should probably clear it as in Carlos' video otherwise it's too easy to flood. I like when it's half way up cause it's a nice little push and you're good to go.
I needed to learn that the juice needs to rise about a half inch or so above the point where you can't see it rise. I hope that makes sense.

Soooo...after becoming a believer in the large learning curve and the extra time for the atty break in, I'm giving back my 2 points I took away in another post for the atty not holding the flavor at all. I'm also giving back .5 on the easy flooding issue cause you do get better with more and more practice.

New rating is 8.5 out of 10 !

good to hear Sl..
Hopefully next week I will get my improved atty back.
But never know.
