Well, I've read tons of accolades about JC juices here. So during Labor Day sale I finally decided to give it a try. And ... I'm really confused, disappointed, disoriented, etc. I just do not get/feel ANY flavor from JC juice!!!
Here's what I've tried:
JC Domesic Red Oak
JC Silverthorne Red Oak
JC Tennessee Cured Original
JC Original
Of these, only Tenn. Cured has some flavor (and is more or less OK). Silverthorn - all I feel is... salt? That was a big surprise to me! And finally the last 2 juices - Domestic and Original - they are just bland, no flavor at all!
So my question is, obviously, what the hell is wrong?! My possible explanations:
1. juice needs to steep. At the moment of this writing it's like 5-6 days old.
2. JC juice needs better equipment. I currently use Smokeless Image X2 batteries and standard cartomizers of CE3 clearos. Well, X2 battery is basically the same/similar to eGo or JC VEA batteries - so I guess battery is not a problem. Delivery system? Well, unless JC juice is strictly for dripping - I do not see what could be wrong with cartos or CE3s.
3. Dead taste buds? Not a problem at the moment. I can taste and smell juices from other places
4. Too high expectations? JC is mentioned so often here at ECF that you really expect something extraterrestrial. But reality is different. But at the moment my cheapest 14c/ml Dekang tastes and smells better than 64c/ml JC juice.
I'd appreciate any ideas/suggestions on what might be wrong?
