If you have used Johnson Creek I need your opinion. Please :)

[QueenInNC]

I have three bottles here and I have heard mixed reviews. I have the Original 11mg and the Tennessee Cured 11mg. If I keep them, I plan on exchanging them for the 18mg and cutting it with glycerin to make it go a little further.
Have you tried JC?
Did it shorten the life of or ruin your atomizer?
How was the throat hit?
I don't want to open any of these bottles if it is a waste of my money. I have been using AltSmoke's Marlboro as well as VaporGuys Marlboro. I have asked some of these questions on other threads, but decided to dedicate one thread to the subject, to get all opinions in one place. I want a good throat hit and oviously don't want to go through an atomizer per week. I have been using the same atomizer for a month (**knocks on wood**) Thanks a lot for your time

Sorry I can't help at the moment, but I may be able to give an opinion tomorrow. I placed my first order with them and am hoping it will be in my mailbox when I get home from work tonight. I plan to try them as soon as I get them.

Queen, I have tried every flavor JC makes--and I can tell you, other then the Vanilla Ice Cream--I can not get a good thoat hit off of their product. Even the Vanilla is weak, but doable. The Menthol is more of a mint. I truly belief IMO that they use the same base for all of their flavors and then just through in some flavor. I contend that they use way too much tobacco essence that leaves a residual on the coil of the atomizer and kills it---Try it if you like as many people like it, and watch some of Terraphon's reviews as he hits the nail right on the head with JC--as for me, I am done with them---Sun

Thanks!!


And thanks to Spikey. She helped me out on another thread. She uses the VG though and I have the PG.

I haven't been all that blown away by the JC liquids, to date.

I've only tried 3 of the flavors, though. I've tried Wild Cherry, Peach Cobbler, and Arctic Mint.

It's not that they were bad, at all. They're just not quite as strong as I would like.

Throat hit was not as good as the CaSH juices I've tried. Vapor was a little lower, as well.

They're good if you like subtle flavors, and I've heard the Vanilla Ice Cream does wonders when it's mixed with other flavors.

I haven't noticed any adverse effects on my hardware at all.

All of the juice I've tried has been really thin and almost clear.

i bought the sample pack (11mg?) to try the tennessee cured and hand the sweet ones out to my friends. i found the tennessee cured was sweet also, too sweet for me anyway.
didn't notice any change in aromizer performance and really no throat hit to speak of.
i should say i only used a dropper full of the stuff, so i don't know long term effects.
i'm disappointed as i really wanted to like the JC liquids for the price and US based.

That makes sense, Sun. I will check out some of Terraphon's reviews. I love them anyway!

Me too!! Thank you for your input. I am just thinking that ALL of you can't be wrong! I have heard very little that is good about JC. Perhaps I should have done this before placing my order!! lol

 

[ZambucaLu]

Tried their sample pack. I thought they were too thin....little flavor.....and no throat hit. They had an atomizer problem some time back but I thought that got resolved.

I've been using nothing but JC for about 2 months. I had the sample pack and the Tennessee Cured was my favorite. I never used any other so I had nothing to compare it too and ordered 2 30ml bottles of it. In 4 different atomizers havn't had any problems. Throat hit is OK in 901's and on the SD its very powerful. I like it enough to keep it but when I finish these off I'll probably get some from Totally Wicked to try next.

 

[Smokin']

I don't have anything negative to say about JC either, largely because I know no different. I have the JC original smoke juice, ordered another bottle of that, plus the sampler pack, which should be here middle of next week.

 

[ed_bollix]

I've tried a lot of stuff and I vape JC Original, Tenn Cured and Vanilla every day. I have colas, cloves, pipes, and a bunch of other stuff I never use. It really is a matter of personal taste but I like JC a lot and have no complaint about it's performance. I very seldom burn out an atomizer (except EVO's) and do enjoy the sweet taste.

 

[strayling]

As others have said, the throat hit isn't very strong with the JC liquids, but that doesn't bother me too much because the flavours are so nice. Also, the vapour seems to be somehow richer and fuller than the ones I've tried from Puresmoker and VaporNine.

The Tennessee Cured is one of their best IMO, and if you can get past the name the Peach Cobbler is surprisingly pleasant.

 

[sixstring]

I've tried two sampler packs. One was Glycerin, the next was PG.

The VG was a little too sweet, and ultimately nauseating when used frequently. The PG was just OK. Most of the flavors lacked "flavor". The absolute worst of the bunch were the cherry and the mint...

I've gone back to puresmoker's riskee as my go-to liquid.

 

[CalPilot89]

They are not really that bad but compared to the other juices out there, they are not as good as most.. Mostly because the flavor is very mild. I mean you can taste it, but not as in your face as say a cash liquid.
They are worth giving a shot though. JC will take back juice that has been used. They will take back juice that has almost all been used. As long as it is within the warranty period.. Try it for yourself.. If you don't like it send it back.. They will even pay for return shipping.

 

[Calaban]

My experience is just so so....

I like their flavors alot...not too strong, but that's what I like about it. There is just a hint of flavor and it's not overpowering...perfect for me.

Throat hit is very weak in my experience.

Vapor production is low. Seems like it makes my atomizer work overtime. If I put down my e-cig for a minute and the atomizer cools down, I need to take 2 primer puffs to get'er back up and running.

I just cleaned out my 2 atomizers that I used with JC juice. I blew them out, soaked them in iso alcohol for 1 hour, then boiled them. In the past this has worked fine with other eliquid. Not so great this time...I can still taste the JC Mint Chocolate Madness quite strongly. I am hoping it goes away after a while of vaping Regular from e-smokey. But if it does not, I will save this atomizer for use only with the JC juice that I have left in the sampler. I don't want to taint any others.....

overall grade: C
But as you know, everyone is different.

 

[smokingclam]

I've only tried the Tennessee Cured. I have it in the 24mg version and there isn't much kick to it at all. I do like the flavor of it though.

 

[ZambucaLu]

Queen, why don't you try putting them up for sale or swap? Someone else might want them. You know that saying....one man's junk, etc

Just a thought.

The problem is that I orderd from VaporGuys and their warranty is not the same. I have considered keeping the Tennesse Cured and sending the Original back.

Lu, I am just gonna send them back upopened. If I decide to open the Tennessee Cured and don't like it, maybe I'll swap it. Thanks for all of your opinions. I really appreciate you taking the time.


Meanwhile, all three bottles are just staring me in the face

Queen--Just turn you back on those 3 bottles--you will be doing yourself and your atomizers a favor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!---Sun
