Johnson creek "Tundra" and "Tennessee cured" review (red oak line)

[jhallan]

Hello everyone! This is my first thread!

In this thread I am going to be trying out Johnson creek's Tundra and Tennessee cured smoke juice.

I will be receiving the liquid later today and after a few hours ill tell ya what I think

 

[Kopfstimmen]

Great, jhallan! Welcome to the forum! Hope you like your new juice.

 

[jhallan]

I hope so to XD
I have been searching for a nice menthol and tobacco and I hope these do the trick

 

[jhallan]

Ok so I have been vaping on these two flavours for a few hours now and I can give a review.

Tundra

This flavour is is nice but not entirely what I was looking for.
It has a menthol taste but not terribly strong, it also has a caramel undertone which can be nice but its not amazing

Tennessee cured

Again this flavour has a caramel taste with a bit of coffee and chocolate? its really interesting but not great

overall I can say its a pleasant vape but there are better flavours out there.

Tundra: Menthol taste: 3/10 Throat hit: 1/10
Tennessee cured: Tobacco taste 4/10 Throat hit: 1/10

overall im pleased but definitely going to keep looking

Thanks for the review, i wanted to try their tundra, but i decided against it. But i did try Tennessee cured, like you said- it was okay but i think it taste more like chocolate-ish to me... If you could smoke a ciggarette that was dipped in chocolate, thats what i imagine it would taste like.

If you're looking for tobacco flavor, you might give their Silvertongue a try- I thought it tasted like a really nice pipe tobacco, just a little too strong for me.

 

[jhallan]

Im not a big tobacco fan honestly I like the menthols more =)
although I did hear Bobas bounty is quite nice as far as tobacco goes

They are usually better if you let them sit for a while. You oughta try some fruit flavors. I didn't think I would be a big fan of them but now I don't use anything but.

Mountain Oak Vapors has a great fruity line but there ry4 is good and so is their 555 tobacco flavors as well.

 

[jhallan]

Oh? Im still a bit new to vaping. How long do I let it sit for? and does it really get better? Because at the moment I want to rinse my mouth out because of that caramel taste XD

 

[cocacola31173]

At least a week and shake daily. What I do is put them in a zip lock bag and sit them in a sink of hot water about half way up the bottle for about 15 min. Most tobacco flavors I have tried do use either a caramel base or vanilla. You are not going to find anything that tastes like a cig and with all those other yummy flavors you wouldn't want too. The only one I keep around is some 555 that I keep in my e cig look alike for when I get a serious cig craving.

Mountain Oak Vapors quick steeps their juice before mailing and most of the time its great right when I get it.

 

[jhallan]

Any suggestions for a nice fruity flavour from mountain oaks? Honestly I dont want a tobacco flavour just a strong menthol and a nice fruit flavour

 

[TBPlayer2112]

I absolutely love Red Oak Tn. Cured. It's my current ADV. I tried their Tundra as well and it was 'ok'. I liked the Wisconsin Frost better for a menthol. Marcado is my 2nd favorite from JC.

 

[jhallan]

Different strokes for different blokes I suppose XD
Im sure it will be better if I steep it ye?

 

[cocacola31173]

Try their sweetwater sample pack...they also have a 10% off deal with the code JAN10 till the end of Jan. It comes in a nice tin and the flavors are ready to go. My favorite is Paradise and Applewood.

 

[jhallan]

Ill give it a go! Cheers mate!

My husband loves the Red Oak line. JC puts out pg juices, too, but the Red Oak line is PG-free. In my opinion, the Red Oak juices all smell bad in the room, and I have not enjoyed the flavor of any of them. The JC Original flavor, however, is quite good, and I like their clove juice, as well...it starts with an M...don't remember the name, exactly

 

[jhallan]

Its weird though. Yesterday I couldn't stand the taste and now I find my self craving it. But I cant try it because im at work XD

JC Red Oak Tennessee Cured has been my all day vape since I started vaping in November 2012. I absolutely love it.

Then again, I haven't tried out other vendors. I just received my shipment from Heather's Heavenly Vapes with 6mg each of ADV (now called Legend), Shadow, Heavenly Tobacco, Just Peachy, and Nice Pear. So far I tried the peach flavor and it's opened my eyes to a whole new world of flavors.

I'm really excited to try out Legend. Heard so much about it.

 

[jhallan]

I found a better steeping method so Ill give it another chance.
Also as far as venders go here are a few great companies i have heard about:
Back Woods Brew
Mountain Oak vapors
Halocigs
there was more but I forgot. The forum does have quite a nice amount of reviews on various juices and venders. You should check them out =)

 

[jhallan]

Tried the hot water curing method and it definitely tastes and smells better. It is now actually vapable! XD

Interesting find! I'll have to remember this. When I first started vaping, I got some samples of Boba's Bounty and Gorilla Juice, based on the amazing reviews here. It was just as good as all the reviews stated, although a bit hard to deal with for a noob, since it's 100% VG, which is I guess why it's so thick and didn't want to soak into the cartos I had.

Anyways, liked BBB and GJ so much that I ordered larger bottles. The BBB that showed up tasted like some awful, generic honey tobacco juice. The GJ was still tasty, but the BBB was nowhere near what I remembered . And I was so sure I found my flavor.

It's been sitting in my drawer for a few months now, and it still tastes the same, funky, generic taste. I will have to try steeping it in warm water.

Have you tried BBB? If so, how does the newly steeped JC tobacco flavor taste in comparison?
