Johnsons creek juice lose its kick over time?

[Nepenthy]

I first tried Johnson creeks Tennessee Cured and Peach Cobler a little over a month ago. Really liked the flavors and vapor and was overall very satisfied. Ive since obtained juice from several other companies and backed off the JC flavors for a bit. They have been sitting in my refrigerator for about a month now. Decided to load up some carts with Tennessee Cured last night and today at work Im having a nic fit. Flavor is almost non-existent, save the underlying cream taste. Vapor is almost null, to the point where I keep thinking my 510 died. Blew the atty out, let it sit for an hour or so with a paper towel inside to soak up anything in there. Loaded up a full cart and I could have sworn my 510 was dead. Borrowed some Ruyan4# from a co-worker and was back vaping like mad again. I have almost two full 30ml bottles from JC that I dont get a hit from, and theyve been sitting in the fridge!

Anyone else experience this? I have a sample pack on order and am seriously considering cancelling it, if they all lose their effectiveness and taste in a month.

Don't store it in the fridge and it will last a long time....

I actually found that the Throat Hit dissipates with time too.

This was with the VG Non Tennessee Cured before they changed their formula.

Straight out of the package it was the only non-nic liquid that gave me a throat kick which was fantastic because I'm more addicted to throat hit than nicotine.

After a few weeks the throat kick died out.

Now in reference to their new formula, straight out of the package it had NO throat kick, which is has left me extremely unhappy.

With my vanilla ice cream, I loved that flavor but it turned all dark brown and got really harsh, almost made me nauseous inhaling it, so I don't vape it anymore, the other juices all seem the same, didn't have much throat hit to begin with.

What are you going to do with this juice? I have some old tenn.cured and I love the taste of it. I like the new,but the old has a cream taste I like also.

I ordered 4 flavors from JC... espresso, peach, chocolate mint and black cherry... all taste horrible to me The smell from the espresso while vaping and even after is just gawd awful... turned my stomach. Do they have a return policy on their juice once it's open? That was a $40 waste... very disappointed

I returned all 4 of my new Johnson Creek and got a refund. They were all opened bottles. I cannot stand the new formula.

Tori--they have a not questions money back deal--even if opened--so just e-mail them with your acct number and what you what to send back and they will send you out a return shipping label---no worries there.

tyvm rejoice and Sun I just sent them an email describing my problems with their juice... didn't want to offend them but it's really not a good formula

It is well covered here on the ECF that JC juice is not great(with exceptions to the few that love it).

Being a US company, I wish this were not the case I too purchased their juice before I started reading about all it's shortcomings. I have 3 bottles that I have not touched in nearly 5 months.

I guess I will keep them if the FDA forces them to be the last 3 bottles I ever vape

 

[Tori]

Well I thought I'd give it a shot being as it is a US company and they make their own and list the ingredients... and everyones taste is different... unfortunately it was a live and learn for me and even if I ran out of my RMV juice which I adore I wouldnt vape that JC stuff... made me feel kinda ill

Well, that is incorrect as I have one of their small plastic bottles from the same batch that has never been in the fridge and it has fallen to the same fate. Flavor is very weak, no vapor, no throat hit.

Their website looks horrible, but I have to recommend NuVape. I ordered 9 bottles of juice on Friday night (8 EST) and it arrived today, Monday. I dont know how they do it, but it was here lightning quick. Some of their fruit flavors are kinda perfumy tasting, but their tobacco flavors are pretty good and almost give too much of a throat hit at times. Vaping JC all day, I almost bought a pack of smokes, which would be the first time its even crossed my mind in over 2 months. Cracked NuVapes Camul 24mg open when I got home and my eyes almost rolled to the back of my head it was so nice. No more JC for me, Id rather have good juice shipped in a styrofoam cup than nice packaging and inferior product.

I'm going to go against the grain in this thread and voice a pro-JC opinion. I haven't had any problems yet -- either with the old or new formulas. I keep mine in the fridge. I've had a few open bottles in there for a little over 2 months now. They are still as flavorful and produce as much vapor as on day one.

I've been buying alot of my juice from Nuvape too. I haven't had any bad juice, although I didn't like a couple of flavors. Good juice great service!

I was a fan of the old Tennessee Cured and the Kona Coffee from Johnson Creek.
I have not ordered from them since they changed their recipe, until yesterday that is.

So I'm looking forward to seeing if I agree or disagree with everything I've been reading.

I returned 3 out of the 4 New JC juices. The Expresso which tasted terrible, the Tabacoo and Tenn Cured which really didn't have the same taste or no taste as the old. The only one I did kept was the Summer Peach which is ok and it is good when I mix it with my other juices. Have to try NuVape, want to try TW but they cost so much and they don't have samples or 15ml bottle to allow someone a chance to try their jc, wondering though should I just go ahead and give TW jc a try. Any one have any suggestions of a couple of their Best Jcs.

Just for giggles I cut some Tennessee cured with some glycerin last night as it seemed the stock juice was just too thick and clogging my atomizer. I was getting a good drag for the first couple, then it was like trying to suck a golf ball through a garden hose. I have to say the flavor bounced back and the vapor was good mixed with a few glycerin drops, so I guess thinning it out restores it a bit. Dont think we should have to do that, but at least my 2 30ml bottles arent completely unusable now.

Has anyone thinned juice out with distilled water or alchohol? I know either will thin out the juice, but dont know about atomizer health using either of these.

So I owe the folks at Johnson Creek an apology. I forgot to cancel my sample pack and it arrived today. Im finding all the flavors Ive tried so far quite good, good amount of vapor, pleasing smell, and good consistency. Seems like this juice is thinner than my previous purchase, and therefore producing more consistent vapor and flavor. Apparently my 510 was acting up this week and I was just having a permanant nic fit, grumpy and ranting on this forum. While I still feel over a week is a bit much for a juice order, I cant ding on the quality as I havent been able to put my 510 down after loading a cart up with Mint Chocolate today. I dont know if its the new 510 atomizers or what, but Im so happy this week with vaping, where last week I was contemplating ditching it altogether. I havent gone back yet and tried my older bottles I wasnt happy with, but I have to say Im pretty happy with whatever JC did to alter their recipe. Everything still has an underlying creme kind of taste to it, which is a little annoying, but overall half the samples Ive tried so far are pretty good.
