I use JC juice and enjoy it, love Tennensee Cured and Original tabacco. I did not mean anything was bad about JC juice.

I was just tell about my chocolate problem or maybe not problem, to let people know that the problem may be FLAVOR AND IT IS A PERSONAL MATTER FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE. It did not matter if I use PG or Vg, still though I had a problem.

We are all different and what bothers me will not bother the next person.

Oh sure, I agree with you. Slating JC's business practices though - well now we know why it was done. Personally, I've had nothing but great customer service with them, and yeah, I have sent stuff back on occasion because of weird taste or just not working out. They never gave me a problem.

I'm thinking someone must have gotten an off batch of Kona and hence the puppy breath thing. Or they just really don't like it :D? Johnson Creek is cheap, and they are inside the states, and it appears they are trying to actually sort themselves out with the FDA whereas I don't see other people actively doing that (maybe they are?).

Just received my first JC, Virginia and Mint 24mg, I have been vaping both for an hour on two 901's on passthrus. First time on VG and am really liking the Virginia cured, the mint is a little light on flavor and hit IMO. I think I' ll try some menthol crystal to boost it a little. I have always inhaled everything from no filter camels, luckies, pall mall, 2 1/2 packs Marl red/day, cigars and pipe, all went to the lungs for 50yrs. The Virginia cure reminds me of the havatampa vanilla flavored mini cigars of my youth before I graduated to Cohibas and OpusX. 65 days analog free!! JC service was prompt and am happy with the results.
 
Have read all the posts and have to say I have not had any vaporizer issues to date with JC (don't drip... Don't mix flavors without cleaning first). As well, the smoke is quite amazing (901 and 801). My only complaint is the lack of throat hit and flavoring. I was excited about arctic mint but find I can't really taste mint at all. I was expecting more of a menthol taste. I think if you want a smooth smoke with lots of smoke JC is very good. If your expecting strong flavors... Probably not so much... Unique but not extremely strong. Just wanted to add my 2 cents!

I just got a sampler from JC, I've used 2 bottles of their standard classic tobacco (whatever it's called) with no problems. But holy cow the vanilla and choc-almond are amazing.

Only problem I've had is that when I opened my sampler pack this evening I tried the peach, vanilla, choc-almond, coffee, & strawberry ... now I'm a bit woozy.

Found this thread through a search for "creek hard draw". I bought a sampler pack from a fellow forum member. This past week I used the vanilla ice cream in my EVO and the peach in my RN4075.

I haven't been as successful in the transition as most here have been. I use my ecigs occasionally.

Both of my ecigs now have a significantly harder draw.

Add me to the list of non biased testimonials regarding JC liquid.

I am not pleased to report this. I have always been intrigued by their flavors and appreciate their availability of a "sampler pack". I truly hope they are able to resolve the controversy re their liquid.

On a positive note, I now have an ample supply of small eyedropper bottles!

......Do you think cutting the liquid with VG might help? I am still hopeful I can salvage my investment and enjoy my "buffet" of flavors.

Some flavors, regardless of who makes them, will have a tendency to cause diminished atomizer performance. This is because different additives burn differently and may leave residue.

This is why it's important for you to maintenance your atomizer by cleaning it on a regular basis. In the tricks and tips forum there are many different suggestions as to how you can do that.

Oh that's a shame! Look up how to clean your atomizer. There is useful info in those threads. And there are a million of them :pI know, because I killed 3 atty's in the first two weeks. Mine just went cold all at once. You also might try draining your atty's at night. The liquid gets kinda sticky at times if left to it's own devices.

Ahhh, OpusX, Feunte needs to make a liquid! No more analogs for me but nothing can replace an Opus!

Go ahead and call me a noob idiot.

I bought the "smoking everywhere" starter kit at the mall.

Liked it, but was disappointed with the amount of vapor. Saw a link to JC's starter pack and bought it. Just got it yesterday. Loved it for about an hour, then I started having to draw harder and harder. Then I couldn't get any vapor, even when changing batteries and putting in a new smoking everywhere cartridge. I've only had my e-cig for a few weeks and I had never cleaned the atomizer, so I figured that might be the reason. I went to the store and bought some coke, soaked the atomizer for about an hour, rinsed with hot water, and am now letting it dry.

Then I found this thread and discovered it might be the brand of juice I'm using.

Damn.

I've tried a couple of J.C. liquids. I found they were too thin, not enough viscosity. E fluid easily runs down into the atomizer's airway.
 
It amazes me that people still think JC kills atomizers. Many of us use JC NON PG formula exclusively (due to allergies) and have no probs with our atomizers. On average mine last 2-4 weeks each. (4-8 weeks.. but I usually rotate 2 at a time). I have no experience with JC PG so if that is the type that is a problem... please someone correct me.

nope, you're right spikey ...

i have had zero issues with my JC juice ... :) ... PG @ 18mg

And Vapor Trail ... were you refilling cartridges or dripping?
A: You may have flooded the atomizer. If you were getting weak vapor, and continued to try and refill with more and more fluid, it couldn't all be vaporized all at once. Blow out the atomizer really really well, and draw off the battery/atomizer fittings, and start over.
B: Liquid leaked down in to the battery and the switch is now stuck.

Thanks, Mary. I haven't been draining the atomizers overnight since I got my EVO. I will be more diligent.

How do you do the overnight drain for an EVO atomizer? It has the exposed bridge. Just slip a cart casing and invert?

Thanks everyone for their input re my observations. Perhaps my problem is due to not doing the overnight draining and just happened to coincide with my using JC juice?
