I have used Jc exclusively for about 6 weeks now. I have had no issues about color, off taste, etc. I also must be in the minority. I have heard that more people do not like it than do. I use artic mint, black cherry and original. I have not killed my atomizer, (knock on wood) using it exclusively for 6 weeks. Same atty. i heard attys normally do not last this long, must be a fluke, but i do not dip or drip either. Just constantly top off on my 510. The only complaint I have is that the flavors are weak. I can detect them, but ever so slightly. I have heard that my 510 might be doing that also. Mabye more flavor out of another model? I like the fact that the juice is made about 30 miles away from me. I just wish the flavor was more pronounced.
Why does everybody hate Johnsons creek?

I love JC, they had issues in the beginning (which I wasn't vaping then, so they didn't throw me off). This is my all day, regular vape. While the fruity flavors all lack to me, I can't taste cherry, or peach, vanilla, chocolate mint, etc, i like the really simple sweetish pipe tobacco flavor, its just a nice simple, no problem juice. and no, when I first got it I wasn't sure if I liked it, then I just accidentally vaped it for the next week straight and its my go to company now!
I've not had any real problems with JC, but I only just gave them a try. Around Halloween time, they had a sale and I picked up their sampler pack in Reduced PG. I didn't care for some of the flavors, but I wasn't expecting to like them all. The only ones I really didn't like were the Tenn Cured and the Espresso. The Original Recipe is one of the best vapes I've had, the chocolate was great as was the mint chocolate. The rest were pretty middle of the road. They shipped fast, I received the product fast. No real complaints. I've heard reports of clogged attys, but I use a KR-808D-1 and haven't had any problems with their juice in cartos, even after 3-4 refills.
My goodness. I love Chocolate Truffle. Mmmm. Ditto their Tennessee Cured. They threw in a sample of their Zero Nic juice last time that was quite tasty if I was inclined to try it. I haven't any complaints.
Oh man I used to LOVE me some Tenn Cured!! It was my first fav juice and their chocolate almond was awesome.... I ordered for awhile and enjoyed the stuff...
Then the recipes changed... OMG I tried ordering about 3 times after that, even tried other flavors and just couldn't handle them. Everything was sweet n funky!! I was so sad and mourned the loss of my fav. flavors.
I tried a bunch of other juices and then found the high voltage stuff from nhaler (also US made) and I've been hooked ever since. The flavors and vapor are great. Each time I order the flavor has been consistent which I appreciate.
I'm sorry to say I don't even look at JC's stuff anymore and they were getting my business but... I didn't like their new recipes, also I did try both the PG and reduced PG versions but didn't like any of them. I gave a crap load of the stuff away!!
It has been at least a couple months since I ordered from JC so I don't know if things have improved. I will say I never had juice turn green or kill attys BUT I did have some REALLY watery batches that were hard to vape.

I don't and have never vaped anything but JC (so that's over 7 mos.)
I've never had any green juice, nasty juice, and if you search my other threads you will know that I've never lost an atomizer. Ever.
I think that the more popular a company is, the more opportunity there is for negative comments (because you can't please all the people...) and generally people are more likely to report negative experiences than positive ones.
(OK, I lied about nasty juice. The old Cherry flavor was nasty! LOL)

I use and like the JC Black Cherry and Mint Chocolate and have never had any problems with either. I had used the older formula and now use the newer reduced PG and it's great. I really like the jar with the dropper that they come in-it's much easier to fill carts and prime atty's with than the plastic kind.
I have used the Classic Tobacco and the Black Cherry and IMHO they both taste like vomit
alright well since the consenus is so varied I might order some and do a video review. What is tennesee cured and has anybody tried the peach?
I love their original and Tennessee cured. The biggest complaint I have heard is that their "varieties" all taste pretty much the same with only a hint of the flavor which I have found to be true.
I've had no "green" liquid phenomenon. I tend to get the high strength and cut it to about a 2:1 juice:vg mix. Still good flavor and get a bit more life out of each bottle. I'm on my last bottle of JC for a while, but only because I'm trying other varieties from other suppliers.

Well I think almost every supplier have some people that love them and some that dont. JC seems to get very mixed reviews either people love them or hate them. JC seems to get a lot of neg reviews and I get a lot better prices else where.
I've never gotten any bad juice from JC. I did like the old Wild Cherry much more than the newer Black Cherry, but the French Vanilla is still my favorite vape. I ordered today, and I'm also trying out the Spiced Apple Cider and the Espresso. A sample kit and Welcome to E-Smoking kit were my first experience with ordering juice. The sampler actually lasted quite a while itself. Yes, I do think they're a little expensive and I would prefer that they drop the extra stuff like the dropper and the 2-cent plastic bottle that they include and chop a couple of bucks off the price.
Then again, there's TW and that's a bit ridiculous.

First, 2 of my top 7 vapes are JC's Tenn. Cure and Hawaiian Kona - Old style. I ordered the some of the new formulations and was highly disappointed. I've said before it tasted like a common over the counter flu remedy. There is a hint of wintergreen in the old Tenn. Cure and perhaps I happened to get a bad batch of the new stuff - both flavors Tenn. Cure and the Mint Chocolate flavor had an overwhelming wintergreen taste and whatever the other tastes were, they weren't good either. The other thing that has been reported here is that many that complained about leakage were using JC's new juice and was esp. bad if you were using ptb without folds.
The only other thing I have to add is that my return of the new juice was a completely flawless return and quick too. I think the change in formulation was driven by either the current gov't situation or perhaps some overly ecofriendly/new age view that may or may not be healthier but it certainly isn't tastier - like much of that stuff. ;-) I would hope that they would return to their old formulations. If they did, I'd be one of their best customers for those two flavors anyway. Their old Vanilla IceCream is also quite good. I wasn't around early enough to try their other stuff, before I started looking for stuff that was less sweet. (their kona isn't sweet and the TC isn't very sweet either).

I tried a JC sampler pack some time ago. Nothing really bad but nothing really good either imo. Unless you fall in love with an exclusive flavor/recipe, just pick your favorite and shop for the best prices among the reputable suppliers.
For those of you who haven't tried the Old formula, its really hard to describe the vast difference in this juice. The old formula use to be just about my only vape, I loved their Tennesse Curd, The Peach Cobbler-wow ( compared to their summer peach now, it can't touch it.) Their Vanilla Ice Cream dreamy, The Chocolate Almond also great as well as their Original Jc, and it never turned green on me or destroyed my atomizer.
I tried to like their new forumla but I don't know what they did, its true when someone said all the flavors taste alike and the smell is bad. I tried to stock up with other Vendors when they were selling the old, so I still have a good stash left, but evertime I do Vape it, I start to think Oh No, after this is gone, its gone for good.
I am sure I was one of their favorite customers but no more, I had to send all the new jc I tried back, Oh Well.

I started off on their sample pack #2. about two months ago. I thought their peach was a little too sweat.
I remember noticing most of their flavors had a 'hint' of flavor. I also remember their Tennessee Cured was my favorite. No I haven't bought any since--it's no longer offered on Amazon.com and that cut me off for a while.
By the time I hooked up with suppliers (on here) I'd already found Cignot and stayed with them.
I wouldn't mind having that sample pack 2 again and that Tennessee Cured.
As far as issues such as burned out atomizers...that's hard to say. I lost half a dozen back then...but there is a better chance it was from my own misguided attempts at cleaning my atomizers. (I lost three of them at one time because of this).
All in all, I have no problem with Johnson Creek.

Oh yea, I meant to add;
One of the first things I noticed about JC is "always" use new filler in your cartridge. If there is just a 'hint' of some other companies juice in there--it just taste terrible.

I don't hate JC but I sure was glad when I finished their arctic mint; low on throat hit and taste was not to my liking.
Now my goal is to finish my last bottle of JC; 24mg orig tobacco. The orig tobacco tastes ok for a tobacco flavor; the throat hit feels like about 18mg to me.
Once I finish all my JC I must finish all my NV liquids.
Looking forward to the day when I get to my unflavored stash so I can mix my own flavors.

I just got an order in today. I was really excited to try the espresso flavor.
It's awful, it does not taste anything like espresso, more like chocolate, but not really. Very disappointing. I bought one of their 3 packs I'm hoping they will allow me to return the unopened bottles. The espresso was so bad that I don't even want to try the other flavors.
