Just received my samplers from Johnson Creek a few days ago, I wanted to try most of them before I gave a review, I ordered both the Original sampler and the Red Oak sampler. SAVE your money, absolutley terrible aftertaste. All of the juices in the original smoke juice about made me ill will the bad aftertaste. In the red oak kit the tennesse curd was good, but in the original kit it was just terrible. The black cherry in the red oak kit was the worst I have ever had. I emailed them about what kind of vg/pg mix they were using,they told me 100% vg in the red oak juices and said they could not tell me what they were using in the original juice(some kind of secret I guess). And when I told them about the bad aftertaste, they told me, well if you get the liquid in your mouth they will do that!! Well I did not drink the liquid, or get it in my mouth believe me! This is just my opinion here, and I am very disappointed with this company and the quality of their products, I think they need to sample their juices before they sell them.

Speaking with the caveat that juice taste is subjective... I happen to agree with you...

However, there are a good number of people who really swear by them. I'm just not one of them.

Taste is definitely subjective. I've tried a couple of their juices and both are excellent; especially the Chocolate Truffle.

I agree with you, 100%

The ORIGINAL Johnson Creek recipe was awesome. It hasn't been for sale since July 2009, but it was really satisfying.

The newest lineup is awful. Tennessee Cured and JC Original taste nothing like their original counterparts, and PG Tennessee Cured tastes nothing like Red Oak Tennessee Cured. The only noteworthy flavor is Chocolate Truffle. Espresso will permanently stain your atomizer, and every other flavor is just average at best.

I'm really ...... with the Red Oak line not being available at 24mg. There is no reason why it can't have higher nicotine concentrations.

The only real winner they have had since the lineup overhaul was Spiced Apple Cider, and that was last winter for a limited time only. Hopefully they bring it back, and hopefully its not in the Red Oak lineup this time.

The lack of an option for a VG/PG blend is also killer. They used to have it, but wrote it off completely when they introduced Red Oak. I don't like purely VG juices because they lack throat hit, especially when the highest nic content is only 18mg.

I really hope they reevaluate themselves, because both lineups haven't worked for me.

I'm holding onto my last 3 bottles of the original Tennessee Cured with the hopes that they will bring it back someday, but they wont.

My wife likes there juice but its all she has ever had. I have been ordering from there for a while for her. Until now. I got her some ELiquidPlanet Essence Strawberry Fields and she is in shock over what she has been missing out on. So now I got a 30 ml JC arctic Menthol that is on the back shelf collecting dust.

I dunno - I respect that they have their own signature flavor... no one else is really doing what they do... I got a sampler months ago and I liked everything except the smoke flavored one... I just don't like the smokey flavor... I think it's one of those "you'll love it or hate it" things.
The flavors are intense and the quality of the liquid is very good...
but you're right - the flavor does linger in your mouth and in your atties...

I've ordered from them before and really liked some. Enough that I ordered again. Wondering now because someone said they changed their Original formula. When did you order, was it recently? I'm trying to figure out if maybe I need to order a small size again before I reorder anything larger in case I'm not crazy about the new one>
