Yup, it's fine. Juggy make sure his juices aren't too thick so they work in just about anything you want to put 'em in -- carto, tank, clearo, whatever.

I had a hard time getting a boge to fill with jokesmoke 2.0 properly, so I dropped it in some hot water, let it sit, and that seemed to thin it out enough that I could totally saturate the batting. This was in a previously cleaned carto too, so dunno if that had anything to do with it.

It probably does. The filler in cartos becomes less absorbent (the polyfill becomes stiffer) with use, even after cleaning so filling can be harder as the filler doesn't suck up the juice as well as a new carto. Not quite so noticeable with thinner juices, but you'll notice it more with thicker ones.

I'm actually planning on using a Stardust V3 with my SI, are there any problems with Juggy's juice cracking the plastic? I've seen some threads where certain kinds of juice will destroy clearomizers :(

Hi Caramel Apple does crack stardusts. It's really slow slow though, took about 6 weeks before I noticed cracks and I'd been using that stardust with that juice exclusively "just in case". Considering how cheap Stardusts are and how long they last for me (about 2 months) I don't think it's a real issue :)

Some of the early version Star Dusts will crack after a month of use regardless of the juice. If this is the only one of yours that cracks them then the juice may be contributing to it. Although, as you said, for the price and that amount of use, I don't think it is an issue either.

When juice attacks plastic it is usually quite rapid and sometimes dramatic. I have never had a problem with Juggy's fruit flavored juices, although I haven't used them all. I have used a lot of the lime flavours, and watched things closely, but had no problems, and also McJager (whatever the he!! is in that). Lol

Yep, sorry by slow, I meant it took longer than expected, but one day the cracks were there all around the base. It is the only one that cracked so I don't think it was from a batch that were prone to it. I eventually threw the rest away (about 2 weeks later) because they weren't working as well as they should anymore.

I don't /know/ that it was the juice, but it may have been :)

Specifically, the things that fog/crack polycarbonate plastics are:

- Cinnamon (cinnamaldehydes)
- Citrus (citric acid)
- Sours (malic acid)

Note that not all citrus vapes contain citric acid, but all sour vapes contain an acid (usually malic acid) and all cinnamons contain cinnamaldehydes. This only applies to polycarbonate tanks. Polypropylene (such as used in the Smoktech DCT tanks) won't be effected, nor will that softer plastic used in the Vision Extremes and such.

Jughead`s is GREAT, as always, imo. They never cease to please. :)

I do believe BigPoppa beat me to a mention of some new juices, but I`ll still give my tongue`s interpretation :)

Bavarian Oh Claire reminds me of a cream puff, it`s not super sweet, but very light & creamy. A nice subtle treat. I find the fruits compliment it too.

Mocha Cheezecake...oh wow it`s mocha rich and cheezy. I find this one to be a long steeper, but I agree with the previous mention, if you love cheezecake, you should like this one a lot!!

Cocoa Mint is light cocoa meets after dinner mint, smells amazing and it is refreshing. This is going on my fave list. :)

Juicy H2O Melon reminds me of a sugar baby watermelon. I haven`t heard to much about this one, but it`s going to be a yummy summer time vape!!

Nana Nutty Bread....sorry I can`t resist.....dance nana dance....:banana:
I would say it is one of the better banana flavours, I get a ripe banana mixed well with a nut. It isn`t sweet and is very close to a nana bread. In fact, as someone entered the room the other day, they said...why do I smell bananas!! (maybe they didn`t see me sitting there behind the cloud). Putting this on my list of faves. Yum:banana:Yum:banana:Yum

It`s really nice to have all the VG options and I haven`t had any unnecessary trouble with atty`s or stardusts.

I almost forgot...blueberry thrill....I know there are fans out there, now I know why! :wub:

Ok who tried McJager.....do tell what`s it like!!

I received my order of Jugheads juice the other day. Most was good straight outta the package but I hot water steeped them all anyway.
I gotta say...wow. Great stuff. Vaping some Koffee Supreme right now. I had to find the right voltage for it but now that I did...the burnt coffee taste is gone and its tasty.
Also really like the JokeSmoke 2.0 and the Eh and Double U rootbeer. Awesome TH from both.
Equally important as the quality product is the quality SERVICE. This guy is a professional. I emailed him one night after work at 2am MST and he emailed back 20 minutes later!
He had an issue and never got my order out when he told me he would. BUT he apologized many times and MORE than made up for it by upgrading all of my 7ml bottles to 10's and threw me in an extra 10 ml of Organic Orange. He also threw in a couple extra Rejuvenators and had another hand-written apology on my packing slip.
I have definately found my "go-to guy" for my juices.

PS. I'd like to take a spot here to thank Mindfield, FunkyVapes and Danesnpits for their ejuice reviews. Its nice to be able to find out some info on some of these flavours before I buy them.

He's definitely got the customer service thing down pat. I've only ordered from him once so far, but he sticks out in my mind as a vendor who goes the extra mile to make sure everyone is happy. I'll be ordering again soon!

I was thinking of putting some of my new juices in the car for the afternoon to steep. I figured it would work really well if I put them in glass bottles & leave the lids lose.

My Jugheads order will be steeping in 35° of roasting humidity in the mailbox today while I'm at work. Either it'll be good to go right off the bat or something else entirely.

Would probably work, but just be sure the bottles are completely cooled before you open them.. Last thing you want is any accidents with Nicotine spilling all over your skin, or worse, getting in your eyes/face. Make sure it's not too hot either, or you could have an explosion (Not likely, but can happen if there's a defect in the bottle)

Wouldn't excessive heat cook a juice??

Not if it isn't left for too long. One of the tricks in DIY is heating the juice. Aside from being a necessity for mixing in menthol or maltol crystals (unless you make pre-dissolved batches of the stuff) it also rapid-steeps jucies by inducing convection currents which help the flavours blend and meld more quickly and completely. However, it also has the effect of making VG thinner (and it does not return to its thick state when cool) so if you want to steep but still want a thick juice, do it before you add the VG.
