Apparently Google Video is having some issues so here's an alternate link to this review

http://www.dailymotion.com/user/Terraphon/video/x8mrcm_this-is-a-review-of-the-mint-chocol_tech

This is a review of the Mint Chocolate Madness flavored e-liquid from Johnson Creek

flavor - 7
boldness - Mild to Medium
vapor - 6
throat hit - 5
overall - 6

All reviews are done according to the following guidelines.

1) Clean, fresh atomizer. Blown out, rinsed, drained, blown out again and then "cooked off" to make sure NO LIQUID is left on the internal wick
2) Newly stuffed cart. Brand new blank for all intents and purposes - Cart topped off with the liquid being reviewed.
3) 2 drops of liquid placed on the metal wick of the atomizer
4) Freshly charged battery.
5) If the liquid is a stated flavor (Coffee, Strawberry, Vanilla, Pineapple, Cola etc...) and does not match the flavor it is advertised to be an automatic 2 point deduction will be made to the "flavor" score. If it says "Cherry", I want to taste cherry.
6) NEW GUIDELINE: I've added a category I'm calling "boldness". This is a non numerical score and will describe the amount of flavor in a product. This will go toward the overall score. If a product is too weak or too strong it will detract from the overall score. If it's just right, it will add to the score.

Review categories:

Flavor : 1 - 10 (1=unusable, 10=heavenly)
Vapor Production : 1-10 (1= no vapor at all, 10=Marlboro 100 at below 0 )
Throat hit : 1-10 (1= no sensation at all, 10=Real cigarette)
Overall : 1-10 (Includes all of the above plus personal impressions relating to the liquid.)

Scoring :

1-2 : Unbearable. DO NOT BUY THIS STUFF.
3-4 : Very poor. Usable but not recommended. There's something that's not right and it kills the entire experience.
5-6 : Poor - Average. Meh...It makes vapor, it doesn't taste foul and it tickles a little. Nothing to write home about.
7-8 : Good - You can feel pretty confident buying this juice. It does what it's supposed to do and it does it well.
9-10 : Amazing! - THIS is the stuff that will kill tobacco smoking. Simply put, an amazing puff that's well worth the money.

Not meant to be a thread hijack... If you like this kind of flavor (and I do!) but with more vapor production and throat hit, check out some of my home brew recipes in the thread of that name... I call them Peppermint Mocha and Kickin' Thin Mint. The latter came about just for this reason... I liked the flavor, but it was way mild.

I just tried this flavor tonight....right now to be precise.
I have to say, I like it!

To be honest I have not been thrilled with the JC juices I've tried, so I cut this with some e-smokeytreats regular and the results are great. I might try it on it's own....we'll see.

The thing that I have noticed about my JC juices so far is that the throat hit is almost non-existent. This is my biggest gripe.

For me, the throat hit is the most important aspect of this vaping business, and JC is WAY smooth. C'mon Johnson Creek, smack us around a little!!!

Also, in the other JC juices I've tried there is almost a chemical thing going on, although this isn't as prominent in the Mint Choc Madness. Maybe what I'm tasting is the citrus that Terraphon mentioned. Whatever it is, it's not working for me. Others may love it though!

Back to the throat hit issue....I'm not sure if what I have is the VG or PG version. I bought a sampler from another supplier but it wasn't listed. Maybe I have the VG version and that is why the throat hit is lacking.

Initially, I'll have to give this juice a B- but again, I have not tried it straight up yet.

I'm the same. I want the throat hit. I want juice with some moxy.

I don't want to feel like I'm inhaling a petite flower, I want to feel like I'm inhaling fresh manliness. RAWR.

JC needs to try getting their sh.t together and releasing something with some punch to it. Make something without the fruity crap and call it Johnson Creek's Liquid Whoop ... or something. Give it enough vapor to Chong a car in 10 seconds flat and a throat hit that rivals getting punched in the neck by Mike Tyson.

THAT, I'd probably buy. This froo-froo crap with no flavor and no heart, though...Nah...

Ha! Well said my friend!!!

Chong lol

Hey man, given your penchant for description, maybe you should draft a letter to JC requesting a juice that delivers a little more asskicking, and the rest of us who agree can sign it. I think their flavors are pretty good, it just seems a little wimpy.

Who knows, maybe they'll listen and concoct something completely raging.

hmmm...Maybe I'll do that.

Dear Johnson Creek Smoke Juice.

It has come to the attention of the vaping world that your liquids lack a certain...shall we say...balls. Your penchant for whimpy vapor and a throat hit akin to drinking a tepid daiquiri leaves more than a little to be desired. Therefor we, the consumers, have taken it upon ourselves to request a new flavor and composition of e-liquid which you will begin production on, immediately.

The liquid will be called "Johnson Creek's Liquid Whoop-..." or, simply "You just got knocked the f.ck out!"

You will make it with nothing but Propylene Glycol (it will NOT be available in a vegetable glycerine version), nicotine, steak flavoring (concentrated from the run-off of a beef aging facility) and the riot induced chest sweat of a condemned triple murderer. It will not contain any preservatives, artificial colorings or anything nancy-boy like "distilled water". It will only be available in 36 mg and will only ship in 50 ml bottles that haven't been washed or sanitized and that may or may not have shards of broken glass and/or a tazmanian devil's pubic hair in them.

When you ship them, it will be only by courier and the service will have instructions to make the purchaser sign a waiver that reads : "It ain't their fault" and then kick the buyer in the face after they take possession of the shipment.

The label on the bottle will prominently display Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal, Mean Joe Green and Todd Weeks...and they'll be punching babies...With brass knuckles...that have spikes on them.

The ingredients will read, simply :

Propylene Glycol ...........................65%
Shit that will kill you if you drink it....35%
----------------------------------------
Liquid Badassery..........................100%

There will be no dropper included. The packaging will, however, contain a mini beer-.... and a hand-out card that reads : If found unresponsive, don't bother with 9-1-1; just stomp on my chest until my heart kicks back in.

No returns will be permitted. If the buyer does not like the product, they will be instructed to pour the unused portion into a mayonnaise jar and ram up their ....

Sideways.

This new liquid is expected to be available for purchase within 18 hours so you'd better get on the stick and make it happen.

Thank you.

I think that'll about cover it.
