I like the flavored liquids for an occasional change but for every day, I prefer a regular flavored liquid. Im not too happy with the JC original
it seems very thin and watered down. The liquid I bought from the company I bought my e-cig from was very thick and stayed in the cartridge rather than getting in my mouth when I refilled. It just seems like a very weak liquid
not much hit on it either.
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 and likely to be the best way to go.
Only yesterday did I try a bottle of the "generic" Chinese-made liquid (the kind that is oft-included with e-cig kits) that I purchased from a vendor who was offering them on sale, and I almost fell off my chair. Not only did the quantity of vapor and "hit" go through the roof, the consistency of results is bang on, exactly what I had hoped e-smoking would be. I had attributed past poor performance to being the product of an imperfect technology, as I had experienced relatively consistently inconsistent results with both models of e-cig I own and despite ensuring fresh components. But that's clearly not the case now, as both "vape" like Swiss watches with the generic liquid.
Even more, when using the 24mg JC juice, as a former 2-3 Pack/day Marlboro smoker, I found myself having to "nurse" my e-cig to get any decent kind of nicotine satisfaction. Now, when I use the 18mg "generic" juice, in addition to just performing consistently well, it delivers a nicotine wallop that I had yet to experience from any of the 24mg JC liquids I tried. I then fished-out the original bottles of "generic" I received with my first RN-4081, and I'll be damned if I didn't experience the very same results. And, like you, not once did I wind-up with a mouthful of liquid if I had inadvertently over-filled or drawn too hard.
I really respect all of the obvious effort and attention to detail JC lavishes upon their product, and I really enjoy some of their flavors. I also feel more comfortable with VG versus PG, at least for the time being. I'd love to be a satisfied JC customer and hope they can provide some sort of resolution to thicken their liquid or make it work as well as the el-cheapo Chinese varieties that seem to work so very well (in all respects) by comparison.
