I received the JC Tennesse Cured today. My first thought was I need to add some cherry flavor to this. I get some low cigar notes in it. I've been vaping Prosmoke carts, sometimes I will add a few drops of another juice then switch back to prosmoke. Usually the juice will fade...NOT JC!...Don't think I'm going to get rid of the flavor without cleaning the atty...LOL...
The best way I can describe it is if you like coffee, some drink it black. They enjoy the bitter taste so to speak of the coffee. Myself I like to add some plain ole coffee mate to smooth and sweeten the coffee. Thats what I get from JC, a bitter taste. Not bad, just different. Won't be an all day vape for me but I bet I find some cherry to add in. I think you might try some Perique Tobacco, might be what your looking for. I would put that and JC in the same league of tobaccos.
ohhh I thought you would love it but I guess taste IS subjective. Where do you get the Perique tobacco or is it the name of the vendor?
I got some snikerdoodle cookie from MsT today and oh boy to my surprise I have not been able to stop vaping it all day. Oh my god this stuff is just amazing. I am so happy you wont beleive. I have gone through half of the 15ml bottle already. I have never raved about a juice like this before. I am telling you this is not like any other sweet bakery juice I have tried so far. It takes them over a week to send out your juice I guess because they don't sell it until it taste right and it has steeped to perfection. I have found a new love and a new juice vendor. I am so very happy I can jump up in joy:rickroll::rickroll::rickroll:

I'm so happy for you that you finally found something you like!...Perique is a kind of tobacco, seems to me it's richer in flavor..maybe a darker tobacco. Alot of vendors have it, I purchased this from HighBrow. I just ordered more juices yesterday so we will see if I get lucky also.

I wish when I had started vaping 3 years ago I would have taken more time with my juices. I had purchased JC then, opened the bottle, did the smell test and sent it back. Sometimes the smell test can fool you. I've learned that some juices change their personality after steeping so if I could give anyone advice it would be to not get in a hurry. Let those juices steep. After your taste buds change and your nose starts working again you might be surprised what happens.

Amen, and amen. :) (Especially tobacco juices!)

Nomo, I share your quest. Started vaping with blu disposables, then got hooked on JC Tennessee cured filling my own cartos. We obviously have the same taste so let me know when you find something comprable to tc.
Sounds good. Have you found anything you like? Please share:)

Thank you sweetheart:) can you give me a name for any Perique tobacco juices? What do you think of NLV juices? Have you tried any of them?
If you like sweets you should definitely try the Ms T's snikerdoodle Cookie. It is just like eating a yummy cookie without the calories:) I also suggest giving JC another shot.

I think I am just going to stick to JC and NLV for all my juice needs. Have you ever tried Domestic from JC?

We must have the same taste. Those are my top 2 vendors.

Domestic I found a little "boring"......I often mix it with other stuff.

Tennessee Cured is an "almost" for me.....a tad sweet, maybe not, but I'm not a caramel lover and hints of that or honey are coming thru for me, both of which I don't like.

I kinda like Wisconsin Frost the best, even though I was never a menthol smoker.

I really would like to keep this thread alive so people like us (I know there are many) can come together and find something that could be a perfect vape and not cost an arm and a leg. Beside the outrageous price of Blu cartos I really enjoy filling my own juice and using different PVs as oppose to Blu cartos or any other pre-filled cartos which you have to use those dinky little cig like batteries. So it is not only the price that is a concern.
I also have found that if you mix Domestic with let say Bounty Hunter it makes it a lot tastier. I really like the minty after taste of Domestic but would like it a little bit sweeter. Next would be mixing it with Ms T's Snikerdoodle. Yummmmmm

I stick w/100% VG if I'm going to mix with 100% VG......Domestic is PG-free.

I could be wrong, but I believe a lot of people who like the juice in the JC Red Oak line are picking up on that, which is why it tastes good to them, or, they have specifically chosen something from the Red Oak line because they are PG-sensitive.

Bounty Hunter is a combination of 65% PG and 35% VG.

I'd prefer, therefore, to blend Domestic with something else that is 100% VG, perhaps something from the Alien Vision's line-up, as Ben does fabulous 100% VG juice it seems. So does Virgin Vapor.

One of the reasons I like JC is that I know they have a dedicated lab, as does virgin vapor (I shudder at the thought of seeing somebody at their kitchen sink in a non-dedicated facility, I mean, you really don't know with some of the companies). I know for a fact that Virgin Vapor protects you against cross-contamination of nic and pg/vg stuff.

-----and alien visions and these companies seem to be able to mix up 100% VG in a way that, although "gooey" as this kind of juice can be, they manage somehow to optimize it so it "works" in equipment. Swiss Dark was the only juice that clogged my clearo wicks a bit, but since 100% VG you *can* thin with a drop or 2 of distilled water. Annette at Virgin Vapors will optimize for cartos or clearos or whatever you are using, if you place that information in notes during your order. And Alien Vision's stuff, despite the gooeyness, doesn't seem to clog my gear either.

I think there is definitely an art to this which is why I keep these 3 companies at the top of my list. I've also found their juices completely vapable right out of the mail. That is not true of many.

I too started with blu but after just a month or so had to switch due to carts never being in stock and when they were only 2 out of 5 carts would actually work. So, like many I was in love with a few of the Blu inspired flavors menthol, vanilla and pina colada. I have spent tons of time, $$$ and effort searching for the closest thing to their flavors and once again like many I started with JC and was disappointed. I have ordered juice from probably somewhere in the neighborhhod of 12-15 vendors. Recently, I ordered minty fresh, pina colada and vanilla custard from sweet-vapes.com, waiting impatiently for my order to arrive I didn't get my hopes up because I've been let down many times but WOW!!!!! I couldn't believe exactly how close their flavors are to my blu favs...I don't order juice from anyplace else now..I was never a fan of the Classic Tobacco or the Java but give SV a try as you might be surprised at how close they are. They offer sample sizes, custom PG/VG mixes and first class shipping!!! I LOVE SWEET-VAPES!!!

Thank you so much for your suggestion. That is the reason I started this thread. As I said before I know there are many of us still in search of the next best thing to what got us all started. I also have bought so many juices from so many vendors but like everyone else I have gotten used to being disappointed and to be honest now I am kind of wary of any recommendations because of that reason. If you look at the classified section you are most likely to run into one of my many posts trying to sell or I should say get rid of all the juices that I just bought recently to sample. In fact I have a post right now with over 300ml of juices that I just bought within last few weeks:) All that said I think I am going to give sweetvapes.com a try soon. Do you know if they have any good tobacco juices? Any recommendation? I promises I wont hold it against you if I happen not to like it:)

I have not tried any of their tobaccos except for the caramel spanish gold and its really good too, but not similiar to any of blu's flavors. If it were me I would call SV directly and ask them which tobacco would they recommend if your looking for burley, brightleaf, flue cured tobacco, which btw is what Blu states on their website for classic tobacco. Its worth a try.

Thank you I will do that. I looked at their site and noticed they only have a few selection. I'll definitely give them a try the next time I am juice shopping. I just bought something like 500ml of juice just last two weeks. I am not sure what I am going to do with all that juice but I suspect most of it is going to end up on classified:) I keep buying juices to try and then sell them for one tenth of the price on classified or give them away on PIF. We should start a thread and call it juice samplers and share juices for everyone to try out.

I got my juice orders this week. As for the MsT's Snikerdoodle Sol, I love the snikerdoodles part but not so much fan of their tobacco taste. But by chance I mixed her sugar cookie with the Domestic from JC and oh my god, I have found my love and I have found what is going to be my most favorite juice of all times. It vapes like a ******(king). The taste is out of this world. I was thinking about sending a sample to both JC and MsT. I have never vaped on any juice that has had such a great vapor. It creates a clouds of smooth vapor with a taste to dye for. In case if anyone wants to try it, I mixed them 50/50. It is so mouth watering and so yummy you will be thanking me for it for many years to come.:)
