Tenn Cured RED OAK Line 100% VG barrels of clouds (*)(*)(*)(*)

Tenn Cured is only JC juice that is on both sides I believe...??
Yeah, but anything more than 50% VG is too much VG for me.
It makes me congested at night, and the next morning I'm blowing my nose and clearing my throat for hours.

If it is bashing them to ask if any of their flavors do not have a tobacco flavor base and just taste like the fruit or whatever then guilty as charged. I do not like tobacco flavors. I tried the blu sampler pack and found that ALL the flavors in it have a base of tobacco + the other flavor. I don't care for that so before I spend money ordering juice I would like to know if all their flavors are that way.

My post was not directed to you.........sorry.

I find that perception amusing when one of the first things you are met with at the JC web site is this:

INC5000_Hero.jpg


Hmmm... Press Releases - eMedia Johnson Creek Smoke Juice Click!

"What started as an experiment in Berkey’s basement is now a thriving enterprise employing 50 people and growing at an unbelievable rate of 511% over the past three years. Revenue in 2012 was $7.6 million – up from $1.2 million in 2009. Projections for 2013 are $13 million."

So your perception is a good 20+ employees short. And I'm pretty sure they fired the Keebler Elves a few million in revenue ago.

Wonder if their success had anything to do with great juice made right here in the US and great customer service. I for one would not purchase their vea or their clearos..............where are all them people that say we should support US vendors??????

Cool, this thread reminded me that I haven't had TC or Vanda in quite a while. I mostly DIY these days, but I really enjoyed both of those.

Out of the 7 people I know who vape, all but two are content with their eGo and eGo-style setups and are mostly uninterested in whichever mech or VV device I've chosen to haul around with me on any given day. 0 out of the 7 people I know who vape smoke cigarettes anymore, ergo, their $30 rigs are just as effective as my $300 one.

The only comfort I can find in those numbers is that if they keep paying JC-level prices for their consumables, they will catch up in costs with me soon enough. :laugh:

If the whole point is to save lives then the vaping devices would turn into a medical device and thus regulated by the government. With Obamacare around the corner.... I'll just stop there. Most of ECF does not want it regulated as a medical device. Many post here since I started vaping that state that.

I started vaping as a harm reduction behavior, and I do feel that the next analog I would have smoked may have been the one to kill me.

I am NOT going to *politicize* my personal experience for you, the forum, or anyone else. ;)

My first ejuice was JC........cuz they had 100% VG and few vendors did at the time.

they also had a lab report as welll as glass bottles.

(I also got some boutique juice from some darling company in crappy plastic bottles with labels that looked like they were made on their child's ink jet printer so I knew at that point that JC was "quality".) I loved Wisconsin Frost and it got me thru the first month of vaping!

I started vaping to save my own life. I have quit smoking using ecigs, and have now also dropped my nic levels down from 24mg to 6-9mg. I plan to quit vaping in the not too distant future.

I consider this a success story, you can call it whatever you wish. I'll tell whoever wants to listen. :lol: I achieved MY goals and objectives.


As for the JC equipment being has beens, some of you forget that a large % of the vaping world doesn't visit ECF, and doesn't know as much about technology. IF they find a vaping device, and it gets them off analogs, that's great, AFAIC.

See, that is a good outcome IMHO. People getting off analogs.

Given the HUGE profit potential, and growth projections on ecigs, some of you are very naive to think that stuff coming down the pike would not happen despite your best efforts. Cash cow. Sure, it's been nice enjoying a little tiny corner of the world, as vapers.......but as it catches on there will be more and more changes and that is just the way the world works WHEN THERE IS MONEY TO BE MADE. What was the name of the dutch boy who held his finger in the dam? Most people do not want to stand there doing that, I certainly don't.

The Blu argument is hilarious to me. If Blu tore up their contract and approached *insert your favorite juice vendor here* as their new line of juice provider, *insert your favorite juice vendor here* would be foaming at the mouth to sign that contract.

Oh and yes they recommend 3-5 fills on most of their consumables. I pretty much keep a 10ml with me at all times and can tell you that if you keep their cartos wet, you'll get 10-15 refills out of it easily. I can vape on 1 cartomizer for a week or so in some cases without any burnt taste or vape quality loss.

To the guy from VV, you sell 5 Boge's at $7.95. JC Cartos sell for $9.95 for 5. You sell CE4s for $10 for 4. JC sells them 3 for $10. I mean, yes your company is cheaper, but we're not talking about them being so overinflated that it's break the bank type of differences.
Your batteries in similar fashion are $45 in comparison to $60 (difference being one has a pass through function and one does not). This by no means is a knock on your company, but we're not out of the ballpark. I guess if I went into threads about your company and started telling people they could get everything on Fasttech cheaper you wouldn't say your stuff is of higher quality? After all, it's all made in China.

I'd bet that a lot of people that are quick to trash the Vea have never tried it. I can assure you that I've ordered every substandard Ego battery under the sun and got twice the life out of Vea's 650mah battery over Fasttech's 1100 & 900mah models. (Note: Fasttech has great prices on Protanks and I do order a lot from them, but I'm now careful to pick my battles of what to get from them.)

(Another side note: In case no one has told some of you, if you go out on a date after dinner with a non-smoker/vaper and bust out your Provari or *insert mammoth APV here*, you look like a dork. Somebody just had to tell you)

Well thanks for telling me what you think I look like and all but I really don't care. (And someone still uses the word "dork" these days? Really?) For that matter no one I know really cares. Sorry - my non smoking friends actually like the look of my Tesla over my "non-dorkier" options. If you're that self conscious about vaping in public go hide in a bathroom stall. I'm sure that will make you will feel better about your inner dork.

While watching that instructional video, I couldn't help but cringe every time she said "smoke juice". I would think the PR person for the company would avoid the word 'smoke' when speaking of a vapor producing product.

New customers are probably current smokers trying to quit. Smoke juice is just fine.

Is that worse than the term E-smoking?

You know for a new vaper they could do alot worse than the JC system. AN ego battery + clearo is exactly what most recommend to new vapers.

Just because it is not a system many here still use does not make it bad. Heck I use my KR808-D Volt and my ego batterys daily when driving or at night when I am curled up in my comfy chair watching a movie and likely to fall asleep on it. Big mods and dripping are not always the answer to everything. :)

They are also pass-through batteries, which can come in very handy to a new vaper who hasn't developed a charging routine yet.

Absolutely. We all have difference of opinions but one thing most of us agree on are stinky sticks are not the answer.

If you're talking about Blu, they all have tobacco base. JC has Solstice, it has no tobacco flavoring.
