i got the sampler pack a while back, just not for me. i also ordered the "peanut-butter" flavor from capella to make my own juices, i don't know if it's just me but i have a feeling that JC adds that peanut-butter to every single one of their juices along with maybe some vanilla or nutmeg. here's an older video i did:

I loved their Vanilla Ice Cream and really liked their Kona Coffee, but they're not offering those anymore. I bought from them back when they gave you a plastic box with the sampler. Not sure if that was "sampler 1" or "sampler 2".

I tried their regular vanilla and coffee a few months ago; Like others have seid they're lacking in flavor.

Nothing bad to report in terms of juice turning green or killing attys. When I ordered the sampler, they had sold out quickly (it was a good deal) so had to delay the shipment - but the email communication was excelent. Nice company to deal with.

I must be in the minority here. I absolutely love JC Chocolate Mint..it's my favorite. I have been mixing my own e liquid and have tried to mimic it, I've come close but JC Chocolate Mint is my favorite thus far.

Everyone has their own tastes...i suppose this is just like everything else, you just like what you like, because you do :)

Have a great night :D

I loved their choc-mint too but haven't bought recently because I finally managed to reproduce it on my own. I use the chocolate mint chip flavour from DIYflavorshack (at 20%) and add a few drops of creme de menthe flavour (Lorann's). Yummy! just like a thin mint girl scout cookie. :)

The first time I tried an E-Cig it was with JC French Vanilla. I thought it was pretty good, and decided it would be the first juice I bought. I ended up hating the flavor for some reason. I ordered juice from NHaler and have been using that since. Today, I decided to go ahead and try the French Vanilla again, and I'm actually enjoying it now. No clue why I changed my mind, but I did.

I may try a sampler pack sometime in the future, but there are some other juices I would like to try first.

I started out on JC, and found the smoke production and throat hit a bit weak. After changing to 24mg cut with VG to about 18mg, I find it quite acceptable.

This is using JC original, new formula. I don't understand the vomit comparisons, must be that one popular video. I've tasted vomit a few too many times in my life, and it sure doesn't taste like JC original.

I recently ordered up some product from another reputable dealer. Chinese product, seemed ok at first, but after awhile I found them way too harsh tasting.

So I'm back on JC.

People looking for flavors that taste like 'Irish Coffee', 'coca-cola' etc, confuse me. Although, I didn't get into vaping to try odd flavours, just to get away from the harmful effects of tobacco, and maybe quit nicotine altogether someday. No offense to those that like non-tobacco flavors.

Similar with the "saving money" aspect. I'm not doing this to save money, I'd far rather buy a product made in the USA then from China - purely for quality control issues. China doesn't have a good track record on this. The hardware itself is example enough, they can crank it out, and we'll keep buying it - but the QA is in China acceptable standards .. ie. low. I'll buy North American built hardware as soon as it's readily available.

I'll stick with JC for now. I'm sure more North American suppliers of e-liquid will surface.

I believe Johnson Creek changed their recipe in response to the FDA report.
They wanted to remove all traces of tobacco essense, and the accompanying nitrosamines.

Their Tennesee Cured used to be my favorite all day vape.
I still like it now, but not as much.

I am now a Nhaler High Voltage juice user.
But I don't like to see Johnson Creek getting bashed either.

Johnson Creek was the first juice I have ever tried. I purchased the sampler tin kit. I found all of the juices to taste very much the same from one to the next. A couple had strong under tones of great flavor like peach, cherry but all and all kind of the same. Since then I have found a whole new world of e-juices out there. As a smoker I would have never even considered vaping french toast or watermelon, who knew?!!! All I can say is I have a cool tin to keep my juices in now lol :lol:
