:blink:

Let me say just so far, I'm not having a good time. The JC original and the TN Cured are so strong in smell and flavor I may yack. I can't get the smell or taste out of my mouth

The Tundra, which is the first VG juice I've tried is OK, but reminds me less of Menthol then the other menthol I've tried.

The Peach so far is the best, but just so so and not a great vapor.

I have still yet to try the Chocolate Truffle.

I really bummed, I was thrilled when I heard about how pure, US made and FDA approved they were. I'm still vaping what I've been told was Dekang from a supplier that sells hardware and juice. I wanted to get something all US made and sourced, but the Dekang flavors are way better and I have to trust the supplier it's even Dekang.

I like the Dekang USA mix, menthol and blueberry, I haven't tried the RY4 yet.

Can someone help me out on 1, finding a USA made supplier that matches the Dekang juices and 2 please tell me why these JC juices seems so totally different in everyway. They are my first foray outside the Dekang stuff and REALLY wanted to like them. The JC packaging is top notch, so no gripes. But dang, I'm almost repulsed.

I feel your pain on JC juice. Sadly that was my first ejuice I bought and the rep and packaging got me to. It's that underlying taste that is unforgivable YUCK! I can still taste it just thinking about it. Sorry you had to learn the hard way like I did it's weird that there are not a lot threads on JC juice on the ECF.

JC juice is kinda yucky IMO. It all has the same flavor profile, so it tastes similar no matter what flavor you buy.

For some good USA juice try backwoodsbrew.net or vapealiciousjuice.com

BWB is down due to a family emergency for a few days.

Yes, it all does and in a vile kind of way. I spent over 50 bucks and knew within the first wiff I made a mistake.

Dont toss it, let the bottles set somewhere and let it age. I let mine set 2 months and its a lot better than it was on day 1. It was awful on day 1, the smell and taste--yuck.

If you don't want to let it set, put it on the classifieds here and get some money for it

Yeah, I kept it, but I had to get the tobacco flavors into the garage. The smell was just too much.

I hated to be so brutal to JC juices, but it was such a massive departure from the juices I was using. Cooler heads prevailed and I kept all the juice. I retried the Summer Peach the last few days and it's actually pretty good. Good enough, that I may order some more.

The Tundra is decent, but it's kind of like vaping a candy cane.

I just can't warm up to the TN Cured or JC Original. The smell doesn't repluse me now, but they are just VERY heavy flavors, but a pipe or cigar users may like them. The chocolate truffle is a little lighter then the TN Cured or JC Original, but it's still in the same ballpark, dark, heavy, pipe flavor.

Considering that I like the Summer Peach, I would/will probably try another flavor or two from Johnson Creek. The bottles, packaging and everything else was completely top-notch. I do wish they would expand their line though, because their juices are totally different from a Dekang style juice, which is what most people start with it seems.

Yep, JC was my first soiree into purchasing juice for my Joye 510 (2 years ago). The samples were packaged better than any juice I've ever purchased since - cute little glass bottles with glass droppers, in a tin can with a see thru lid - but I didn't buy it for the packaging. Unfortunately, the wrapper was the best part. The taste of all samples was so awful, I was unable to put down the analogs, until I gave it another go this past September. Good juice is a requirement 4me!

They're still in business, and I know some folks love JC juice. I wish them well...but if JC juice was my only option, I'd still be smokin' analogs.

If JC was the first juice I tried, I'd still be smoking as well.
