Hello all, new vaper here, enjoying this new world. I cant' post in other areas yet so this review is here in the newbies area - i think this sampler is good for newbies anyway! I'll keep it brief:

The sampler pack comes with a very nice tin, dropper tops for all your bottles, as well as regular tops also. Packaging was immaculate and shipping was fast from this vendor. Will use again(I actually have another order on order as I write this, the Red Oak sampler).

JC Original - Probably the most like a "cigarette" to me out of the pack, but without the bad breath! Good flavor, will smoke again

Tennessee Cured - Similar to a pipe tobacco. Rich, deep flavor. I'm not/never was a pipe smoker, but this is one of my favorites. Excellent when mixed 50/50 with Summer Peach.

Black Cherry - haven't tried it yet - a little scared it's gonna taste like cough syrup.

French Vanilla - a bit milder than I expected, but vanilla tones are there. a nice one perhaps to mix with something else.

Chocolate Truffle - This is the first real e-liquid I tried, and it's a nice one! Deep chocolate flavor with a bit of sweet to it. Will smoke again and experiment w/ mixing.

Arctic Menthol - also not yet tested... not a big menthol fan so not in a hurry to puff this w/ all the other good options I have.

Espresso - tastes like coffee!

Mint Chocolate - EXACTLY like those Andes mints you get in the restaurants on the way out. Exactly.

Summer Peach - mmmm, one of my favorites. A bit sweet on its own to me, but mixed 50/50 w/ some Tenn. Cured is one of my favorite vapes now. Will try it mixed w/ the JC Original soon also. Good mixer.

Spiced Apple Cider - All apple all the time! Good apple flavor with a hint of spice. Good holiday vape.

I know it's not a complete review, but maybe one day it will help a new vaper out....

I too was initially impressed by the flavor and vapor production of JC juices (both Original and Red Oak). However, a week after they were opened, they all started tasting the same. That, mixed with a very short carto/atty life when using their juice and the luster soon wore off.

So, if you order a 15ml bottle or any bottle of JC juice, just vape it straight through after opening. That initial bottle opening will be the best that JC will be.

We all have our opinions about juice....as taste is so subjective......
But I have to throw my 2 cents in here.
I am a LONG term JC juice user and I have NO PROBLEM with the taste of the juice,
even after a month of the original opening.
So perhaps this has been your experience.....but mine is TOTALLY different
and I love their juice, from beginning to the end.:wub:

I'm one of those people you're referring to Loveridden :) Love JCs Spiced Apple Cider. I'm on my 5th or 6th 30ml bottle. It's my carto juice for public use (I drip most of the time). Satisfying, very nice, strong TH at 18 and 24mg and almost no vapor. With a double-inhale there's no vapor. Great for restaurants and close-quarter situations. SAC is very thin, clean and nearly clear. Cartos last and last with this juice. Wish I could drip it but it runs right through an atty. The flavor stays strong and true for me over time unlike Skinnee experience.

I did NOT enjoy Tennessee Cured. It's the only juice I've vaped that made be vomit. I'd put it next to clam juice for the worst-tasting juice ever for me. The rest in JCs Original Line were unvapable but not horrific. YMMV

I ordered some JC and loved all three flavors. Talked to the co. today, to ask questions about flavors (even asked for a promo code and they gave it to me! which was before I found it on this forum...). The guy I talked to was VERY helpful. Told me to order a sampler so I could select my flavors and get a free sample. Great idea, eh? And I can't wait for the order to arrive.

Well actually I meant that some people just hate JC and others just love love love JC and there's not many ppl in the middle. But I see u r both!! lol I love love love JC but yeah there are some flavors I am not into......Spiced Apple Cider is also a fav of mine, and I agree it's not as much vapor as one of the juices in the red oak line, definitely a flavor u can vape more stealthily...(is that a word)? I just ordered myself some tundra and bacon which I both love and are on sale right now. My all-time fav is Solstice tho. I've tried most of the flavors EXCEPT the tobacco/cigar like flavors because I know I won't like those.

When I first started vaping (August), I did not think I would like any tobacco flavors. Envisioned myself vaping fruits and sweets. Even had the Mall guy exchange the tobacco included with my Smoke Free with Vanilla. However, after trying JC's Red Oak Sampler, Tennesse Cured is my favorite, by far. I love that aroma.

I've heard so so many great things about Tennessee Cured that I AM curious.....may give it a shot someday...
