It's all about personal preference, of course, but I always have a bottle or two of Johnson's Original on hand and a bottle of the Arctic Menthol. I am not a fan of overly-strong flavors so my taste probably isn't the norm here.

Their menthol tastes more like menthol rather than mint.

I tried their Tennessee Cured and it's sitting in the fridge waiting for a time when I'm low on juice. Just wasn't for me for the same reason I don't care for the taste of the RYs.

Aside from taste, I love Johnson's brown glass dropper bottles. The dropper makes it easier to drip onto a 510 atty.

Last time I ordered from Johnson's I received the order much faster than usual. Less than a week compared to the usual 10 days.

Hope this helps.

I'm a fan but I tend to get the fruit and coffee flavors and not mess around with their tobacco flavors as much.

Peach and expresso are probably my favs.

Next winter when spiced apple cider comes back buy it...like... by the quart... one of the best vapes I have ever had.

Time got away from me and I forgot to put an order in before it went off the site.

Just get the sample pack and see what to pit in a real order after that.

the last time i ordered juice from JC was about 8months ago, but some flavors were good, others i could've lived without trying.

Their Peach was phenomenal, but I gagged after trying their Hawaiian Kona Coffee.
Their Vanilla Ice Cream mixed well, but their strawberry/cherry were mediocre.
I'm not a mint/menthol fan, so I gave their Arctic Mint to my sister, and she loves it.

It's all hit or miss when it comes to e-liquid, which is why I make my own :p

For some reason I can't figure out, fruit flavors (of any supplier I've tried so far) feel scratchy and dry and I love fruit. So I have a fridge full of bottles that I dearly want to enjoy but just can't. It's frustrating! I thought I'd find a favorite juice and use it all the time.. like a favorite brand of analog. Nope. Didn't work out that way for me. A flavor will be perfect for a couple days then go nasty on me. If I change to another I can return to it later. Weird. Might be me; might be my atomizers, might be a lot of things. I don't know.

I did find that mixing a yummy fruit liquid w/ a few drops of Johnson's Original smoothed it out on my dry throat but after a couple days I have to switch to something else.

I love Johnson Creek. Artic Menthol is my go to vape but just recently tried the original and Tennesee Cured. My other favorite is Expresso. I have tried lots of different juices but always go back to these. Either chocolate is good too.
Damn, do vapers love dogs or what? you can't swing a dead cat around here without hitting an avatar with a dog in it hehe!
Anyway I need to restock on JC and was thinking of putting in an order for a JC trio tonight.

What's the artic mint like? strong or mild? sweet? They have changed the recipe and now call it Artic Menthol but I bet it's still pretty similar.

I would say the artic is strong but not very minty. My tastes are so strange I hate to try to describe it someone else. If you like JC I would you guess you would like it.

Same here re: strange taste. I was a menthol analog smoker and in the beginning thought I'd just order a bunch of mints and be good. Nope. Either they were Minty rather than Mentholly or they were too strong.

JC's Arctic Menthol is mild compared to the others I've tried and I usually mix it with a smidge of a tobacco flavor.

I never thought I'd enjoy smoking (or vaping) with anything but a menthol. I was wrong. My fridge can vouch for me. :)

I ordered some of the french vanilla as I was able to try it today and think its to die for. It also has gotten the most positive reviews on the site.

i just found my old bottle of JC Vanilla Ice Cream that I got from their 'welcome to e-smoking kit' almost a year ago. A drop or two of the Vanilla Ice Cream to my homemade Raspberry-Lemonade is FABULOUS! I forgot how much I liked their vanilla as a mixer.
 
I got there sampler pack when there was like 20 different juices. Trust me when I say you are not missing anything from the ones that are not carried anymore. The ones they do have for me rate 9/10 summer peach, 8/10 arctic menthol. Rest are around 7/10 for me. Some of the ones that used to be carried, I would rate -1/10. I tossed em.

So far I have tried about 40 flavors from dekang, none of which I would rate as high as JC. Just got the Vapers choice sampler; 8/10 for lemonade, cause it gives me a super throat hit. 7/10 waffle, not so good on rest. I wish someone would buy like 15ml from every source out there, then offer 1ml samplers of everything for like $3 for a ml sampler, I know id pay to get that ;)

What I'm learning as I go, is try them all at very small quantities. Things that sound good, ie mocha mint coffee, tasted like burning tires to me, and I tried it on two 901 atttys n 1 510. If it was a 15ml Id offer to send it to someone who liked it, but its tiny.
