    Mnyeh. Just make sure you're stocked with a couple weeks' worth of your other juice before ordering. That's all.

    Perfumy/nasty juices lately

    Although I've never had any "bad" juice from J.C. (as I have from another vendor), I've had performance issues with their juice not vaping well. Even so, nobody's has better flavor (IMO), and I can't speak highly enough about their customer service efforts to make things right.

    I think JC has the best tasting group of liquids available, even if they may not be exactly what their flavors describe them to be. My beef is that they just don't seem to function well in my 103 or 901. For these, the good ol' Cheapo-Chinese liquid has always worked best.

    A new Esmokers Journey

    And as I happen to know some of the answer too, provided it meets USP standards, there's effectively not enough of even a potential difference in the end-product to even warrant concerns. Like the sterioid family of drugs, which was made affodably mass-produceable in the 1950's due to the...

    Perfumy/nasty juices lately

    After tasting 36mg, I envision it being reserved for the likes of Charles Bronson, John Wayne, and certain U.S. Marine Divisions. :)

    A new Esmokers Journey

    I've always found the mention of "VG" as in vegetable glycerin to be a bit confusing. As a chemical compound, provided it meets standards for purity, isn't it true that glycerin is glycerin is glycerin?

    Perfumy/nasty juices lately

    Amen and hallelujah. I ran into the exact same thing with. The worst was a 36mg bottle of Vanilla. While cutting it with PG to 18mg fixed much of the overstrength-related problem, the perfumey "chemical" taste, absolutely unrelated to the strength and precisely what you described, persists...

    Test to determine dead dead atomizer?

    Thanks, all. Will advise.

    Apart from my first "Welcome Kit" order, all of my experiences with JC have been based upon VG formulas. I am going to titrate some purge VG to see if I can thicken mine up before returning everything I've bought from them.

    Test to determine dead dead atomizer?

    Despite knowing very little, I've decided to take matters into my own hands with regard to atomizers that have stopped working. I took-up the suggestion others have made and stopped by Wal-Mart to pick-up one an inexpensive GE Multimeter for $9.99. Having reached the extent of my expertise...

    Well, if titrating some PG to the solution thickens it to a usable consistency, I have no problem doing that to ensure I can enjoy their flavors.

    I'm sure there's bound to be a certain amount of variation from batch to batch, but my observation is that they are notably thinner, rather than thicker, than the "generic" plastic-bottled Chinese varieties.

    jc smoke juice

    I can't possibly emphasize how similar my experience has been. While I very-much enjoy their flavors, the strength and consistency have been very, very weak. I had ordered a sampler when I ordered my first e-cig, and I just ordered the JC flavors I liked, figuring they were a "premium" brand...

    Newly registered members - Please read!

    Not that I'd ever wish to dampen anyone else's self-satisfaction, given how many decades I've struggled with smoking and trying to quit, I prefer to simply be humbly thankful for anything I've vaped rather than smoked rather than tempting hubris, which has a long history of rearing its ugly head...
