This is a review of the Sweet Strawberry flavored e-liquid from Johnson Creek

flavor - 7
boldness - Medium
vapor - 7
throat hit - 6
overall - 7

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. Useable 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.

I was concerned that it had with the Mint Chocolate stuff but after review I figured out that when I accidentally pushed the batting down in to the cartridge at the beginning of the review (when I said "damnit") I failed to pull it back up far enough to wick properly so all I got for liquid was the drops I put on the mesh.

Good thing is that I'm not paying for this stuff, since I'm getting it from a friend, so I'm chucking it out right after the reviews. (Except for the strawberry. I have about 1 full cart worth left.)

I'm fairly new to vaping, but...
I have thoroughly enjoyed Cash/PureSmoker liquids.
I ordered a sampler of JC. It is SO weak, in general! I am wondering if it is because I got VG (memo: having two different independent variables nullifies experimental accuracy)
So now what do I do with this stuff? I am wanting to use it up.
I am mixing the fruity stuff with PS menthol--being not a big fan of menthol, this seems to kill two birds.
Does this practice seem safe/work ok? ie, mixing VG with PG. And a I just plain daring my atomizer to not clog?
Any thoughts?

Terraphon,

It's always fun watching your reviews. They're really great. I remember we had a disagreement about JC Original Tobacco awhile back.

Anyways, I totally know what you mean about the citrus flavor. I'm kinda happy about it though. The main reason is this: I just tried to make a batch of my own liquid (0 nic), and there's absolutely no kick whatsoever. JC seems to be the only 0 nic liquid (yep, I finally got to 0 nic) that has even the slightest semblance of a throat hit. So I'm thinking that the vinegar and citric acid in their juices might be what's doing that. I tried adding lemon juice and vinegar to my own mixes, but to no avail. So, I guess as long as juice has a strong flavor, the citric acid isn't really a problem.

Chris
