Johnson Creek Original Smoke Juice

[booboo]

I just ordered my second bottle of vg original and third bottle of vg tennessee cured, so obviously I must like them, lol! I do have to stick to vg for a while to see if my body likes it more, so I haven't tried the pg kickers. It is very mellow, but I got some strong vg 555 from vaporstix that I mix with it that ups the vape and hit. I am one who loved the taste of the marlboro DSE 901 cartridges, so probably not hard to please. As long as there's vape, man (and its not cherry or coffee), I'm not too picky. I do like it sweet though and am wondering what the coca cola stuff tastes like?

I agree, the tenn. cured i think is great, no problems with the taste at all.I did however also order the chocolate almond decadence and it was weak as hell, like a barely there hint of chocolate, very faint taste..Im wondering if its just a hit or miss thing with certain batches or what!! Both bottles were the 18mg..

Really? That sucks because I was going to get chocolate almond decadence next. Who knows what their problem is. Here's an easy fix though LorAnn Candy Flavoring Oils

So I take it your from douchachusettes? haha

I like the Marlboro carts and liquid too. I am not so much looking for flavor as long as it doesn't taste terrible! I just need a decent taste and little throat hit and I am good to go. Easy to please.

Anyone else find that the throat hit is wimpy with JC?
I like their flavors ok (although there is a slight chemical thing going on IMO), but it's too smooth.

Plus, I know there has been talk of JC juice ruining atomizers and while none of my atomizers are broken, I have noticed that after using JC juice (specifically the vanilla ice cream so far) the atomizer starts to perform weakly. I need to take 2 good primer puffs before I get decent vapor.

I think JC is onto something as far as having a unique kind of juice, but it could use some more work.

Even though the flavor is weak in the JC liquids I have, both of them give me a good throat hit (especially the Tenn. Cured.)

I do notice that slight chemical thing. It is the same for both flavors I have, it is all I taste in the vanilla. Very slight, but noticeable.

You guys have made me very skeptical. I am just going to send the JC back.

Okay... I feel the need to pipe up...

Let me preface by saying that I started out using cash juice and it is seriously strong and great stuff... but I am allergic to PG and cannot use it. It only took a short time for my body to freak out about the PG.

First... if you have JUST quit smoking (within the last 3 weeks) then your taste buds are not tasting like they should... give it a few weeks and try them again.

Second... Many people use JC juice and just add some Lorann flavoring (the link is above someone just posted it so I am not going to repeat that). This seems to be a very good way to get more flavor... but BE AWARE that Lorann flavorings are made from PG!!! So if you are allergic.. don't use too much!

Third... I have not tried all the JC flavors... BUT... there are some things I have found (going to put this in the reviews section as soon as I get a chance... may do a video review of it).

Flavors I have tried... (all VG or NON-PG)

Tenn Cured- Smoky, caramelly, nutty and very HEAVY flavor. Sits in the throat and lungs and does pack a little throat hit. (A TINY bit like riskee yuice).

Vanilla- must have alcohol or something in it... pretty strong throat hit... but fairy mild flavor (though I DO taste the vanilla... I use it to mix with stronger flavors).

Strawberry- sweet but not nauseating. Very berryish and tastes great with the vanilla mixed. Not much throat hit.. but the vanilla adds the throat hit a little.

Peach Cobbler- my favorite... has a peachy sweet and slightly tart taste and has a decent throat hit on it's own... but is even BETTER when mixed with vanilla (I call it peach creamsicle and it is my ultimate favorite tied with Riskee).

Arctic mint- mentholated and minty. I was a menthol smoker so I like it. (it is not NEARLY as strong as Cash True Menthol which was awesome!)

chocolate mint- tastes mildly chocolate like, but has a coffeeish overtone to it (and I don't like coffee). I don't taste the mint much.. but you can mix some arctic mint in to get a better flavor.

Wild Cherry- crap. Tastes like cough medecine and they should outlaw it. It also ruined 2 atomizers of ours.

As far as messing up atomizers... I have not had a problem with any flavor except cherry but I DO wash my atomizer out every night before going to sleep. This may help.

JC had great customer service, quality packaging and child safety protection caps and great little dropper bottles that work well (some say they leak.. but if you close them VERY tight.. they don't).

I think they need to add a little flavor to their juices since many are so mild.. but apparently there is some difficulty with adding too much flavor to VG cause it changes the taste of the flavors. I have not tried mixing my own juice yet.. but plan to start soon!

I will however continue to purchase from Johnson Creek. Their juice is $10 for 15ML (decent price) and for what you get (dropper, dropper bottle, glass bottle with child safety cap, and juice!) it is a good deal. I like them a lot and think that these comment will help them improve their juice and find ways to add more flavor.

Thanks, Spikey! Have you tried the orginal? I am mostly concerned about the throat hit and it not killing my atomizer. I have been using the same atomizers (RN 4081 and DSE 901) for a month (a little over two weeks for the 901, actually) so I feel like I am doing pretty well with them. The taste is not as big of an issue for me as I have only been using Marlboro or tobacco flavored carts and liquid. I just don't know what to do. lol I have three bottles. Two 30ml Original and one 15ml Tennesee Cured. I got the low too and probably want the medium so I can add some glycerin.

I don't really like tobacco flavors (I was a menthol smoker) so I have not tried it... but I have ony heard that it is too mild of a flavor.

I find that dripping it in a 4081 (onto atomizer w/no cart) seems to increase taste and flavor... but you need to be careful not to drip more than 2 or 3 drops or you can leak fluid into your battery.

If you want to exchange them for medium or high (I guess u have PG) and mix with glycerine and add some flavor (people say that "Michael's Crafts stores have some lorann flavors) but then if you are sending them back anyway... maybe you just want to get a refund and try another company. I like getting juice made in America cause even though it is not regulated... I feel the ingredients are likely more regulated (and are listed on the bottle!) than other companies.

Did you not like the Tennessee Cured either? Did you get them yet? Are they shipped yet?

I have them, but have not opened them. VaporGuys has a no return policy if the seal is broken. JC will take them back within 60 days no matter what. That is kind of the issue right now. Had I ordered them from JC, I wouldn't hesitate to open one of them. I do want to get the higher strength either way.

Hmmm... that is a dilemma. I would buy them off you... but I don't really like tobacco and can only use VG

Let us know what happens...
