Q: I love my blu e-cigarette, can I purchase the liquid directly from your company?
A: While blu e-cigarettes do contain our Smoke Juice the Smoke Juice we make and sell to blu is exclusively produced for blu. We have many fantastic flavors of which some of may be similar to blu's flavors. With that said, If you would like the exact same flavor of blu's e-cigarette cartomizers you will need to purchase their pre-filled cartomizers directly from blu.
Q: I own a blu e-cigarette can I use your juice to refill it?
A: Johnson Creek Premium Smoke Juice is manufactured and designed to be used in all electronic cigarette devices.
Q: I own a blu e-cigarette do you sell a cartridge or cartomizer that will fit it?
A: Currently we do not carry any cartridges/cartomizers that will work with your blu e-cigarette. We would recommend checking out our Vea e-cigarette page or our Partners page (www.johnsoncreeksmokejuice.com/partners) for a listing of companies that not only carry our products but also sell a wide variety of e-cigarette models that are easily refillable and reusable if that is a route you would like to explore.
Q: I have an allergy to nuts. Can I still use Johnson Creek Original Smoke Juice?
A: We recommend that if you have an allergy to nuts, that you NOT use Johnson Creek Original Smoke Juice. It is possible that some of our flavors may have nut-based ingredients, or may be produced in a facility that processes nuts.
Q: I'm looking for an ingredients list. Is this something you provide?
A: Johnson Creek Original Smoke Juice is happy to furnish our ingredient list! In fact, we list our ingredients right on the bottle. USP Grade Propylene Glycol (not in Red Oak Smoke Juice Recipe) USP Grade Vegetable Glycerin USP Grade Glycerol USP Grade Deionized water USP Grade Nicotine (except in Zero Nicotine recipe) Natural Flavors Artificial flavors USP Grade Citric Acid
Q: Does Johnson Creek Original Smoke Juice or Red Oak Smoke Juice contain tobacco?
A: No, but both do contain nicotine derived from tobacco.
Q: Are your ingredients vegan?
A: Yes. All the ingredients in every recipe are vegan.
Q: Does Johnson Creek Original Smoke Juice contain diacetyl, butyl valerate, or ethyl heptanoate?
A: No. Known irritants like these are not used in the making of our juice, nor are they in any ingredient we use.
Q: Can Johnson Creek Original Smoke Juice help me to quit smoking?
A: No, Johnson Creek Original Smoke Juice is not intended to be used as a smoking-cessation product, nor has it ever been tested as such. We recommend that if you are interested in quitting smoking, that you consult with your physician and undertake an FDA-approved smoking cessation program/product as prescribed by your doctor.
Q: I am having difficulties with low amounts of vapor using your Smoke Juice. Am I doing something wrong?
A: One of the main reasons customers experience low vapor production is due to overfilling or flooding of the atomizer/cartomizer with Smoke Juice. We suggest trying a fresh atomizer and cartridge, or cartomizer for e-cigarettes that use them, but be very careful to not overfill.
Q: Do you offer coupon codes?
A: From time to time we may. However we find that coupon codes can get confusing trying to figure out which is still valid or is actually real. We don't like to do this to our customers so to make rewarding our customers a bit easier we are always running our JC Trio discount! Log in, add three or more bottles any size or flavor Smoke Juice, checkout, and you get 10% off those bottles. Easy as that!
Q: I would like to offer Johnson Creek Original Smoke Juice on my web site or in my shop. Do you offer any wholesale programs?
A: We sure do! Check out our Partners page or contact our wholesale sales team for more information.
(The JC Trio discount does not include cartomizers pre-filled or blank or our 5ml sample size bottles)
Q: Are you FDA Approved?
A: We are not FDA approved, as the FDA has not yet made a determination on whether or not to regulate the e-smoking industry.
Q: Is the possible FDA involvement in e-smoking going to affect your business?
A: No. We do not anticipate any real issues with the FDA as they begin to develop rules and regulations for the industry. In fact, we feel that we already adhere to many if not all regulations they're likely to impose, such as; child safety caps, & plastic shrink banded caps. We are also the first company to voluntarily list our ingredients on our bottles and print warnings for children and pets ( I don't think our lables say this anymore). We're also quite proud of the ultra sanitary conditions and use of personal protective equipment in a HEPA-filtered environment in which we bottle our Smoke Juice. Johnson Creek Original Smoke Juice is made from scratch in America, with the highest grade ingredients available. While we do not know what the FDA will choose to do with regard to regulating the e-smoking industry, we're ready for and welcome their involvement.
Q: Can I place an order over the phone and pay for it with a credit card or check?
A: We do not currently have a system in place to accept phone orders with a credit card or check-by-phone. All orders must be placed and paid for directly on our web site.
Q: Can I use PayPal payments for my order?
A: On Thursday morning, July 30, 2009, we were told by PayPal that they would not be processing future transactions relating to the e-cigarette industry – in our case that included credit card and debit cards not tied to PayPal accounts. Though we were disappointed to see PayPal ignore our long and successful relationship, we were able to make the transition to a new processor with barely a hiccup. Though we understand many customers enjoy the conveniences of PayPal, we can assure you that our payment process is safe and secure – It uses 128-bit SSL encryption (the highest commercially available) and adheres to PCI (Payment Card Industry) Security Standards to keep your data safe. To learn more, read about PCI Standards from Authorize.net and the PCI Security Standards Council. We do not know how thorough PayPal's actions will be in regards to e-smoking. As one of the most life-changing industries to reach many of our customers in recent years, we hope these changes won't hinder the growth of such important technology. Similarly, we hope that any of our peers working with PayPal will be able to overcome any potential obstacles and continue to reach the people seeking these products.
Q: What is "PG"?
A: PG or propylene glycol is an organic compound (a diol alcohol), usually a faintly sweet, odorless, and colorless clear viscous liquid that is hygroscopic and miscible with water and acetone. Propylene glycol is recognized as generally safe for human consumption by the Food and Drug Administration. It is used in food coloring, and flavoring, as an additive to keep food, medicines and cosmetics moist, and in machines that simulate smoke. Propylene glycol functions to provide the vapor mist that looks like smoke and to suspend flavor.
Q: What is Red Oak, a PG Free Smoke Juice from Johnson Creek?
A: Red Oak is our line of 100% PG Free Smoke Juice. It uses VG or Vegetable Glycerin as the base instead of Propylene Glycol.
A: Johnson Creek Original Smoke Juice was the first company to introduce a Non-PG recipe to the e-smoking world in 2008, you could say we invented it. Our new Red Oak Smoke Juice line has been a year in the making, and we're thrilled to announce it is completely PG free. When we launched our new recipe in July 2009, we made a commitment to our customers to come up with the best Non-PG recipe we could make. You could say we re-invented Non-PG. Red Oak has zero PG in any ingredient, nor do we add PG to it. The Red Oak recipe is the perfect compliment to our PG line of Smoke juice, Johnson Creek Original Smoke Juice.
Q: Why choose either PG or PG-Free over the other?
A: Although the vast majority of our customers notice little to no difference between the two, a small number of people find propylene glycol to be an irritant (sore throat, etc.) We launched Red Oak Smoke Juice so everyone is able to enjoy Smoke Juice by Johnson Creek.
Q: How do I refill my cartridges, and how many times can I refill my cartridges?
A: These are great questions we get asked routinely, we have actually devoted an entire section on our web site. to this. Please feel free to check out our learn section.
Q: How many refills can I get out of a bottle of your juice?
A: The best way to answer this question is to figure out how much juice your carts hold. Experimenting with the help of our 3mL Flex-tip Cartridge Needle is a good way to learn.

Q: Do you offer pure nicotine, high-nicotine, or unflavored juice for home mixing?
A: Of course we'll always want you to select our Smoke Juice, but above all the safety of our customers is priority one. Pure nicotine is an incredibly dangerous chemical to handle, and should only be done so in a controlled environment by trained, experienced professionals. Beyond that, creating Smoke Juice is a very exact science. We have years of experience leading the e-liquid industry creating just the right recipe to give you the best and fullest e-smoking experience. We do not offer pure nicotine, unflavored juice or nicotine strengths higher than 2.4%(24mg/mL).

A: Fast. No, really. Fast. Generally any order placed by 9AM CST is shipped same day. Everything else is shipped next day.

Q: What are these federal holidays you speak of?
A: Glad you asked! The observed federal holidays for 2011 are listed below. It's important to remember that the United States Postal Service (USPS) is a federal agency too, so any time you have an order coming via USPS Priority Mail or Basic Ground Shipping, it'll be delayed if it is supposed to ship on or around any of these holidays.

Q: What if my UPS shipment takes longer than the transit time I selected?
A: While extremely rare, from time to time shipments do not reach their intended destination in the committed time. If you pay for UPS shipping and it doesn't arrive in the committed time, let us know. We've built a strong relationship with UPS, and we'll work with them so that you don't have to file a claim or wait to be reimbursed.
Q: It's been more than 2-3 days, and my USPS shipment has not yet arrived. Can I get my shipping refunded?
A: It's important to remember that USPS Priority Mail's transit time is not guaranteed, and it doesn't have detailed tracking info. That's why we offer a variety of guaranteed UPS services as well. Priority mail is usually fast for the price, but the USPS makes no promises. The 22 digit number that is emailed to you when your order is shipped is a Delivery Confirmation number, NOT a tracking number. From the USPS web site: "Delivery Confirmation™ Provides the date, ZIP Code™ and time your article was delivered."
Q: Do you ship overseas?
A: Yes, we do! However, please note that we are unable to ship to Iran, Iraq, and North Korea. Additionally, we cannot ship product that contains nicotine to Canada or Australia.

All our international shipments are accompanied by all necessary paperwork, fully filled out in compliance with US & local customs law.
Q: What if my preferred shipping method is unavailable?
A: Our shipping methods are available by location, and as such some methods are not available in all countries & localities.
