Drew a NHaler.com has often talked about making his juice for each customer after it's ordered and I hear he ships really fast. I'm sure others do too. It's reasonable to take a day or two to mix by order, but not 6-8 days


Drew was my 3rd and possibly LAST juice supplier. His stuff is exelent.

I only ordered from JC to see what everyone was talking about.

Nhaler is a great product and realyy the only one I trust- for me it not a maybe I need this or that- I definetly need good juice in 3 days no BS.

I have quit cigs with good juice it is that simple.

BTW- if you scan the nhaler thread you might see where Drew mentioned to me something about 60 days- and his complete manufacturing of the juice. This dosen't sound like the words of someone afraid of the FDA to me. woo hoo!!! go Drew.

There are quite a few that make their own. I can't list them all or vouch for them unless having used the product.
Do you mean that there are quite a few that mix their own from unflavored nicotine juice that they get from China? If there is even ONE place other than Johnson Creek that makes their own juice from nicotine juice that they DO NOT get from China, I damn sure want to know about it.

And I will email every one that I am told does this, and ask them, and post the results.

I'd also love to hear about any other vendors who manufacture their own juice. USP ingredients and non-tobacco extracted nicotine would be phenomenal! If I found this vendor I wouldn't look anywhere else for juice.

ME TOO! When I first learned about e cigs one of the things I was and still am most paranoid about is where this juice comes from and what the hell is in it! China of all places which doesn't have a great track record.

From the Johnson Creek website...
That’s right, in anticipation of any future FDA regulations, we’re making these changes to ensure that the world’s favorite and most trusted smoke juice will be available for decades to come! And as always, our smoke juice is completely American-made and all of our ingredients are sourced from companies right here in the United States.

If anyone else can say that, I would look forward to hearing about it.

But it was the new formula. I already posted about this that the taste was like smoking burning plastic and they gladly took it back prepaid. I don't know if if was rancid or old but tasted awfull and lingered.

I had this exact same thing happen with a sampler bottle of their new Espresso. It was ok the very first time we tried it, then the next time it was like burnt plastic. I actually thought it was my atomizer so I ordered some new ones and it tasted the same. 8-o

I am here to tell you, it is crazy trying to get the taste out of the atty as well. It was horrible!!! :mad:

FYI... Vermont Vapor makes their own and have some good flavors.

You can remove the flavor using lemon juice and water. Let soak for around 15 or 20 minutes and than rinse out. Let dry and the flavor is gone. Always add around 5 or 6 drops of e-liquid after doing this,before using. Puff a few and add a few more drops.

Her menthol is the best I've had yet.

x2 - moniques is the best menthol - I am a menthol fan and I have tried 6 different suppliers of menthol and nothing is similiar to hers. She must have a different source because all 6 verndors i tried all taste similiar because it has that mouthwash spearmint taste, and widows is more of a minty /tobacco-ish taste.

I've had mixed results with Johnson Creek... LOVED the first sampler pack, loved my first bottles of Tenn Cured too!! Orders came quick too. Went to order more and the flavors had changed so that was a bummer.

I did see that now they are only making a certain amount available until it sells out on the site each day... Can't order after they cut-off the day's supply. I did get all 3 of my orders really quick. I'll see how long it takes now with the change... Ordered today with fingers crossed that I will like the new batch :)

I'm really wanting to know where the juice comes from and want to avoid Chinese made juices. I've asked the same question before and would love to find all the suppliers that I might want to sample.

I ordered from Vermont Vapor after reading about them here. Their juices are all VG based... My first time with all VG. I will say that they have a nice smell and vapor but I just didn't catch much flavor from any of the flavors I sampled... I wonder if it's cuz I ordered low nic... Waiting to see other reviews but the order from them also came really quick! vtvapor.com

I tried Vermont's Maple, Blackberry, Pina Colada, Choc Mint. I am now mixing the low maple with zero nic JC TN cured v.2 to make the new JC more palatable... Like I said, I can smell the flavors and they all smell REALLY good and the vapor is great. I just don't get a taste of anything with them unfortunately. I'm hoping to see more reviews from people on them though.

I ordered from JC on the 17th of this month, as of today I still don't have it. I ordered 3 bottles on the 23rd (Thurs.) from Vapor Station and recieved it on the 25th (Sat.) Only after I e-mailed JC did I get the shipping info. Hmmmmm.


I ordered 7 or 8 days ago and haven't even gotten a shipping number. wtf?

They emailed me yesterday and said they will ship it. wtf? Thats 5-6 day to put together 2 bottels and put them in an envelope. That is too long to wait full there high prices!

I hope the juice is good- oh it sucks now? ok I see... Well they got a return policy.....thats good?..maybe?

I use to order from them quite regularly. Back then the turn around time for orders was usually a week an a half and I live with-in a three hour drive from them. Since then I have been trying out the juice that other vendors have to offer so I haven't had the chance to try their new formula. I'm still hoping they will consider a First Class mailing option for Wisconsin folks. Currently their Priority Mail shipping rate offers no advantage in delivery time over the cheaper First Class rate for Wisconsinites.
 
I ordered 2 bottles of their juice since I was running low and never recieved email confirmation of the order. I became concerned when I received my order from dietsmokes.com which I placed the same day. I checked my bank and sure enough JCE charged me the same day I placed the order. I contacted them via their website and 6 days later still have not received and reply. I just contacted them again via email but have no expectation of getting a reply. I can understand a few days to get together two bottles of juice and ship them out (well, not really) but not even sending order confirmation or replying to customer issues? I feel very let down and will never order from them again. Does anyone know a user on any e-cig forums that represent Johnson Creek?

I ordered 4 bottles from them Friday 7/24, it's now Friday 7/31. Am STILL waiting for a shipping confirmation. Next time I'll order from amazon, or maybe I should cancel and just re-order from Amazon?

I read on here Widow Bead works ships fast. I ordered 2 bottles last night, there was a problem with my Paypal account, (old address) I e-mailed Widow and she told me it would be in the mail today. That's great customer service, but hows Widow's juice? ( free shipping too, BTW)

Re Amazon - I wonder if Amazon's JC's are pre-made and waiting to ship? That would explain the delay.
