Stuck on JC but not enjoying the dead attys - need suggestions

[2mitts]

I've always had mixed results with my JC juices (Tenesse Cured specifically). This last batch was really bad and crapped my atty out in literally 3 days (3 of them crapped out in a week). I've always mixed it down with my own VG to dilute it a bit, and added a bit of distilled water but that just didn't cut it with this last batch. I'm fed up with this performance but can not for the life of me find a substitute juice! I've gone through every sample pack I can get my hands on and I'm just sick and tired of wasting money on stuff I just can't tolerate. I'm just plain stuck and need some help.

Is anyone out there creating something with a similar taste as the JC base that won't kill my attys? Is there anything further I can do to get this Tennesse Cured not to fry my attys? I've heard it's all about sugars and acids, so maybe there's nothing to be done . . . any and all guidance is much appreciated!

(ego-T type B LR)

Thanks!

(cleaning atomizer with alcohol or boiling water doesn't seem to be helping much)

I hear you, another popular US made tobacco killed my equipment quick as you please. You might enjoy Blue Mist vaping, Robacco 80/20, haven't had any problems with it. He has a sample pack of 5 for $10.

I tried both the JC domestic and original and that stuff is dark and I couldn't stand it. I almost gagged when I tried them. I even let them steep for a while and tried again and still no go. It is super thin too.

If you like tobacco flavors I would try something from Backwoods Brew.

I used to be a Tennessee Cured fan back before they changed the original recipe (which used tobacco extracts).

Lately I've been enjoying these: Kentucky Premium Blends. Applewood is my favorite so far.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I'll see if I can get some of those ordered. Love this place, quick answers by good people!

I've vaped there stuff for 2 monthes (but ordered flavors from another vendor this time) without any problems on a regular Type A atty with no problems.


In fact the only reason I swapped vendors is I tried some different flavors at a friends house and liked them better.


Their Valencia was a but too orangy but that bottle went up in steam with the black cherry and the Expresso.Flue cured bottle still has a carto left in it....

All ive done maint wise on the atties is vodka rinse and dry burn.



I'm not gonna plug another vendors juice or say that its something your doing......

I agree I got a sample of that with some unflavored nic and it was super good. Next time Ill just order a boat load of that stuff.

I was baffled at what was happening with these attys. I had items from two different vendors with the same problems. I tried tweaking the wick to help flow thinking it may be getting too dry but didn't seem to help much, but i think I may push that concept further and see what happens. I hate to be that guy putting down JC as I love their flavors, shipping and presentation, I just can't think of anything else going wrong. .

I would be interested in your cleaning regiment, maybe some tweaking there wouls be helpful. Can you give me more details? Specifically how often?

Also, I failed to mention I'm vaping the red oak line. That's kinda important information I left out :/

Also, lol, I keep thinking of things, I've been vaping their red oak Wisconsin frost with zero issues . . . So if anyone is on the fence with that flavor, I give it a thumbs up. It's never been an atty killer for me.
