Hi, everyone.
Glad to see this discussion started
JC was the first juice I tried when I started vaping last September. I was more than happy with the 'welcome to e-smoking' kit I bought back then. [I still use the small amber dropper bottles, mini funnel, and those GREAT tweezers.]
Since then, I've continued to order most of my flavored juice from JC and, for the most part, I've been a happy customer. I love the Tennessee Cured, Original JC, Vanilla, Espresso, and Black Cherry flavors. I've ordered all of them in larger sizes without a hitch.
The last batch I received, however, made me wonder--- what in blazes is going on up there in Wisconsin?
I ordered two large 1 oz bottles of Black Cherry (one PG and another RPG). The only difference is that this time, I ordered the largest size and chose 24 mg instead of the 18 mg strength.
From the moment I uncapped the first bottle, I knew it wasn't the same juice. The Black Cherry is a favorite because it's sweet without being too sweet. There is a nutty (for lack of a better word) balance to the cherry flavoring that makes for a distinctively dark and rich fruit taste. It does not taste artificial. But these bottles (I tried both) smelled and tasted almost like--well, like cherry cough syrup. Truly Awful.8-o I gave some to a friend who also loves the Black Cherry and she agreed that it was way too strong and medicinal tasting. It's taking me a while to get through both bottles. I don't want to waste the juice so I'm making do by doctoring it with unflavored nic juice, other flavorings, and either PG or Aqueous glycerin.
Anyone else have a similar experience with this or other flavors? Do the flavors tend to change THAT radically when you up the nicotine content? Did I just run into a bad batch or have they changed the recipe again?
