Johnson Creek JC sampler - wheres the flavor?

[asidrave]

as many of you know...if not you should by now ...i just got my ecig yesterday and tried some of the jc sampler flavors today.

i tried cherry, arctic mint, hawaiian kona coffee and peach cobbler so far.

trying each flavor...i only get a hint of the flavor. short or long hits.

granted i just started vaping. it seems that the stock carts from the 901 had more of a flavor.

is that the way its supposed to be? does cash or tw juice have more flavor?

 

[DCrist721]

I'm guess you got the VG ones? If so then yes, they tend to all have similar flavors. With Cash Liquid each flavor is definitely distinct, but then again that's because they are PG liquids.

I too got the Johnson Creek sampler pack, only in my case it came with the starter kit they sell. So far I'm impressed with both the liquids and the rest of the kit. You get a bunch of those bits and pieces which are so useful - syringe, tweezers, a little plastic dripper bottle to carry with you and a tiny funnel to make filling it easier. I was glad to see that the samplers themselves came in glass bottles with normal caps and a separate set of droppers, one for each bottle. There's a plastic carrying pouch which is cheap and nasty, but there's also a big plastic box container for storage at home which is much better quality.

I recommend the kit for anyone just starting out as a way to pick up all the essentials accessories in one go.

i just checked my invoice on the order again...i did order the PG.

the flavor is there...peach cobbler tastes like peach...cherry like cherry..just not a strong flavor of it.

i even dripped the peach..still a light taste

Things that can affect flavor:

1. Taste buds not yet recovered from analog smoking
2. Atomizer primer not worn off yet
3. Some e-cigs seem to affect flavor more than others
4. A few people here seem to not be able to taste flavors, even after being off analogs for some time

Personally I find the JC cherry very strong flavored and cough syrup-like, peach fairly weak, and mint about medium. Have not tried their coffee. It's always possible your batch is different and lacking.

could very well be 1 thru 4. i still enjoy vaping reguardless.

BTW...its been 24 hrs since ive had an analog...no urge at all for them...such a waste too. i only smoked 2 of a fresh pack of marlboro smooth

 

[SilverBraids]

You know, I quit smoking for 8 months cold turkey once... then I had a Marlboro Smooth. It's like smoking a thin mint. I was hooked on analogs again for another year. Now I'm analog free (including Smooths) and testing out a few things to get a thin mint juice... trial and error time... 8^)

Silverbraids, My son smokes those smooths...have you tried the JC Mint chocolate madness? It's pretty close.

I like it a little mintier so I mix it with a bit of Jane's Kick Abandon Mint.

 

[nicosnack]

Jane's Kick Abandon Mint.

I've tried Johnson's Creek, Cash, Pure. Sure, I'm still a noob, but my first movements are towards Kick. I've ordered a couple large bottles and getting another. Coffee, Vanilla and-- it says Menthol, not Mint-- but Kick is doing great by me. Now, to be sure, my first impressions of JC were good. I have a full bottle of their Vanilla Ice Cream here (now that my Kick vanilla is almost gone) and I surely remember the Chocolate Arctic Mint.... but right now I'm a Kick Juice kinda guy.

 

[CssReb]

I'm not going to argue with you about what names are on the bottles but I will tell you this, I have 3 empty bottles of KICK juice sitting in front of me and they all say e Abandon Mint liquid. I just got my order from JC yesterday and it is checked Mint Chocolate Madness. I may be old but I'm not blind

 

[asidrave]

going on day 3.....

today i definitely taste the peach flavor a bit stronger...i think my sense of smell and taste are getting better

BTW...went to my car this morning.....stinks like an ashtray...time to clean it out

 

[Czernobog]

Call me crazy, but I love the Tennessee cured flavor from them. My only complaint is that the carts that I fill it with only last about 1/3 as long as my cash cola carts. The stuff might be a little thicker, I'm not sure. Any advice? same thing with anyone else? BTW I use a pilot from puresmoker. I think that's also known as an m402.

 

[ApOsTle51]

has nothing to do with PG or VG base ..sheesh...only difference is sweetness.

JC smoke juice is known for its lack of flavour..it's a very mild flavoured eliquid and all their range is subtly flavoured.

If you actually want to taste what your vaping go for cash's juice ot totally wicked well, really any other juice but JC.

JC is one of the weakest flavoured and thinnest juice out there.

I have tried a couple flavors of JC juice, and I definitely have to agree about their subtle flavoring.

It's not bad, I suppose. More up to preference. Some people don't like to be overwhelmed with flavor. I, personally, like a bit more umph.

For instance, I was received a bottle of the arctic mint from JC and a bottle of the CaSH Menthol early this week. I started with the Arctic Mint. I definitely got a good, smooth mint flavor. Definitely not heavy by any stretch of the imagination. I liked it, but, the taste didn't really stick with me at all.

I loaded up a new cartridge w/ the Menthol from Puresmoker (I know Menthol and Mint are two different flavors), and I was blown away by the strength of the taste. It was almost TOO strong. lol I really enjoyed it, but it was pretty stout, indeed.

So, what I'm saying is, some brands and flavors are meant to be subtle, and some are meant to grab you by the taste buds and shake you silly.

It's all about preference.

Can't wait to pick up some TW liquid!

you hit the nail on the head for me i want a flavor to shake me silly. i want to go num num num...thats good juice. definitely gonna get some CaSH and TW in the near future

 

[Cymri]

one thing I have noticed is that if I use the same cartridge with a flavor for a while (like maybe a week) is that the flavor gets steadily stronger. Maybe that would help with the JC flavors

 

[justtry]

im really not into flavors like cherry or apple or whatever.....i like plain old tobacco flavor, my T.Wicked Marlboro is stronger than i thought, but i have noticed a dropoff since I first got it, I'm assuming that since it is a mixed liquid that once you expose it to air over and over its gonna lose its "luster" but im towards the end of the bottle so no big deal. I've had a good experience from wicked so im going to keep on ordering that liquid, but I'll def use it much quicker to savor it before it starts losing some of the taste.
