Johnson Creek Juices

[scfaster]

Have the problems been worked out with Johnson Creek juices? I see a lot of postings about inconsistent flavor, clogging attys and so on.

I got a sample pack of their VG (Red Oak) juices two days ago. So far I didn't care about the tobacco flavors, but some of the others are delicious. That is exactly opposite of what I expected, I never have been big on flavored smokes.

The Valencia tasted just like it should have, nice & juicy and spot on with the orange flavor. Not my speed, but very, very tasty, like an orange Slice soda pop.

The Swiss Dark with a little Wisconsin Frost mixed in is the vape that will get me off of 30dy/33yrs of analogs. It is beyond delicious, and I vape it like crazy. I am down on analogs by about half, including a trip to the bar. I doubt that I would finish the 7 packs in what I hope is my last carton if I could get a reload of the juices before I vape up the samples.

I did have my attys clog after heavy use, but I am not sure it isn't operator error. I have been recycling carts and swapping them out to try different juices. I have flooded them repeatedly.

The bottom line is that I was quite impressed with some of the JC juices. I guess that I want to know that the probs have been ironed out before I go buy a couple of ounces. My first experience went pretty well with good juice and Monday night's order in the mailbox Thursday in-state.

They changed their formula last year, around late summer, and many people (myself included) did not like the change. I stopped vaping it for a while, and I think there was just an overall negative vibe here on the forum.

A couple months ago I decided to try them again and ordered both sample packs. I found that I still liked my favorites from last year, and ended up buying 8 flavors. They are all great, I have no complaints. I agree with you about the Swiss Dark and Wisconsin Frost. And I love the Original Tenn Cured, but not the RO version.

No problems from what I can tell...

I might give their stuff a try at some point in the future when I get some cash. People seem to have good things to say about some of their flavors.

I also like how they have a variety of tobacco-esque varieties.

I've got their sampler. And if I were into heavy flavoring I would be going crazy for their juices.

They are really good. For me however their flavoring is overwhelming. The stuff vapes great. Love the bottles and droppers. I think they are a great company.

The taste needs to be more subtle for me though.

i didn't think too much of the red oak line but the originals are some of my favs.

never had any problems with the liquids.

They are still proud of them! Too pricey for me.

i've ordered a Trio (Valencia+Domestic+Tennessee Cured)

Three drops of Swiss Dark killed my brand-new atomizer, so that was an expensive experiment, so do use caution.

I wish JC would come up with some milder flavors too, not candy-like, but some mild and sweet tobaccos maybe, and more flavors like their"Black Cherry", which to me doesn't taste like cherry at all but is unbelievably wonderful.

One thing I must say for JC. I've never see such professional and beautiful packaging in my life. They're worth trying out just to see this for yourself. And the icing on the cake is one well-wrapped little fat soft juice bottle for every 30ml bottle of juice you order. To say "Good Job Johnson Creek" to their terrific presentation is an understatement!

Just wanted to give you a heads up! I've heard that having juice with too much flavor near your preferred 'less flavor' juices can cause issues! Namely the excess flavor has been known to seep out of the flavorful juices and into your mild mannered all day vape!

Apparently just putting these juices into a closet or another room is not sufficient! You want to get them as far away as possible from your preferred vape. Several states over should do the trick. Like moving them from MI to TX should take care of it.

LOL, I just realized that I actually live in TX?!? What a stragne coincidence. Now I can't have your too flavory JC juice messing up my stuff, but, seeing as I'm such a nice guy... I suppose I could allow you to send it to me (for disposal) as a personal favor to you.

I'll have to make sure and double check that I don't incur any personal expense as a result of said favor though. So just to be clear this isn't actually an offer, more like a forward-looking statement!

Be careful in the future though! It's not everyday a kind, genuine, trustworthy person like myself will come by and tell you what you're doing wrong and then also 'non-offer' a custom tailored resolution! I wish people gave me 'non-offers' this good! hah!

Another option is to pawn the juice off on your children! That one still carries with it a slight risk of contamination though!

BTW, if you haven't figured out by now that this is a joke... PM me for my adress!

Yes I figured it out

"Candy-like"

Best possible description in my book. But even though I don't like it.. it sure is *impressive*.

 

[mini_art]

Hmm Johnson Creek Spiced apple is one of my favorites and it never killed an atty for me.
Nor have their other juices.
Dont bother looking, you cant get spiced apple except in the fall/autumn

 

[GregH]

I've used JC exclusively for a year and have had no atty problems. I love their Red Oak Domestic and Tennessee Cured the most. But I also use their PG-based JC Original and Tennessee Cured. Wisconsin Frost is also nice. Can't speak to other flavors, as dessert, candy, or fruit flavors don't appeal to me much.

 

[Danyulc]

Yes I figured it out

LOL, You're not in the top 0.1% for nothing!!!

Haven't tried too many juices yet, 12 to be precise! Going to get 20 sample bottles (5ml) from a Tasty Vapor Co-Op in a couple weeks though and that will probably go far to helping me nail down my preferred flavors.

I had considered ordering from JC initially. The certainly do have a slick presentation. In a wierd way though that kind of put me off, lol. I guess I'm a conspiracy theorist?!

They don't really do a good job of conveying the flavor of their juices imo. One of the reasons I chose not to order from them initially was because I thought all their flavors were going to be realistic and not sweet enough. When people say juice 'xyz' tastes like a jolly rancher I'm pretty much sold on it, lol.

I think my favorite so far would be the Watermelon juice I got in cartridges from Volcanoecigs.com. It's got nice candy watermelon action, although some claim it tastes like the fruit and not candy. I guess it's how you percieve it.

That might just be my favorite because I don't have anymore right now though, lol. The Pina Colada from Viking Vapor has been quite spectacular as well.

Have those of you that order from numerous different juice vendors noticed a pretty big difference in juices from the various 'homemade' places? Basically are they all worth ordering from in order to find that perfect vape? Obviously Dekang juice vendors don't count because those ARE all the same, lol.

I spent a good amount of money finding stuff I like to vape.

I used the shotgun method... buy a bunch of samplers of stuff recommended, or very neutral stuff that I thought I could use, and re-order stuff I like.

Have lots of stuff. Worked for me.

 

[zbasspro]

Danyulc Those the doublers zero nic? If JC is that strong, I`m really curious as to what you think of the TV co op. I got in on the last one, and they were just very weak IMO. The Atomic C one and Goeffs Blend were the only strong ones, and Geoffs Blend has the Atomic C in it. Please post your opinion. I hope you have a better experience.

 

[thewomenfolk]

Danyulc, you're from Texas? I'm so...so sorry. Please accept my deepest sympathy. I'm a native Texan but I got smart a lot of years ago. Look where I live now...perfect paradise indeed!

 

[scfaster]

Thank you for all of the replies. Very impressive.

In the meantime the Valencia has me hooked. I never saw that coming. It IS a lot like a Jolly Rancher or maybe an orange Slice soda pop. I will be ordering that and some more Swiss dark Tuesday.

I also figured out that the atty is a lot happier with the VG juice if I push the button a second or two before I take the first pull, wait for the sizzle to build. The first pull isn't bad but toking it up like a cigar once yields a very full and delicious second pull.

Thanks again for all of the replies.

LOL, well I'm originally from New Orleans, LA. Moved here when I was 15 and I'm almost 30 now. So I've spent bout half my life in each place. I'll refrain from saying which is better, but, um, GO SAINTS!!! WOOHOO Superbowl Champs baby!!!
