We’ve had an incredible summer here in Wisconsin and as it comes to a close, we’re pleased to announce a new seasonal flavor; SOLSTICE. It’s our hope this flavor will extend summer just a little bit longer for us. Our EVP of Product Development, Bob Kieckbusch, had this to say about Solstice, “our latest flavor creation is perfectly suited for both the warm sunny day and for sitting around the campfire when the sun goes down. We start with fresh juicy watermelon then add a splash of raspberry and honeydew, and finish it off with a clean, crisp cooling ice. Makes you want to say ‘aaahhhh!’ after every puff.”

So as you relish your last few weeks of summer, we hope you’ll enjoy a bottle of Solstice. Solstice is PG Free and available starting today, in 15mL bottles from our Red Oak Smoke Juice product line up. Take advantage of this new seasonal flavor, it’s only available for a limited time!

As always, thank you for your continued business and support,
JC Team

This morning, some of our team left cloudy Johnson Creek, WI for sunny St. Louis, MO. This weekend we’ll be at the St. Louis City Center Sheraton Hotel & Suites for VapeFest 2010. If you happen to be in town, stop on by our booth to meet our President, Michael Galesky, our EVP of Product Development, Bob Kieckbusch and our Business Account Manager, Bob Spircoff. They’ll be on hand demoing our products, answering questions and they even have a few surprises up their sleeves, perhaps a sneak peak at seasonal flavors?

In the meantime, have a great weekend and check out these photos!

To celebrate our second anniversary, we’re having a sale! Take 25% off the entire store (excluding JC Trio) from now until Tuesday night at Midnight. That’s right, I said 25% off the entire store. No promo code is required, it’s just our way of saying thank you to all our wonderful customers. Here’s to another year of success and as always, thank you for your continued business and support.
To read about our accomplishments over the past year (and there are plenty!) check out our anniversary blog post. But that’s not all! We’ve also posted an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at our lab, where all your Smoke Juice comes from. You can check that out on our YouTube channel.

Since our last anniversary, these are just some of the things we’ve done:
• Last fall we launched our first seasonal flavor, Spiced Apple Cider. It’s easy to say Spiced Apple Cider has created quite the customer following and I’m pleased to announce it will be back again this fall. Stay tuned for more information.
• Last winter we launched our second seasonal flavor, Mint Mocha and we brought Spiced Apple Cider back for a limited time to help raise funds for the devastating earthquake in Haiti.
• In February, we launched a completely PG Free Smoke Juice called Red Oak. Our entire team worked very hard on this project which was spearheaded by Bob Kieckbusch.
• In March we announced a partnership with e-cigarette hardware manufacturer blu cigs, this project was spearheaded by Mark Smirniotis. We attended the Wisconsin Bar and Tavern League convention in Eau Claire, WI and we added designer extraordinaire, Micah Zeilinger, to our staff to handle all graphics.
• In April we added one of our signature flavors, Tennessee Cured, to our Red Oak product line up and we added another team member to our staff, Victoria Hudziak, to manage our supply chain logistics and procurement.
• In May we launched our affiliate network and our Wisconsin Bar and Tavern program.
• In June and most of this month, we opened up our doors to multiple members of local media, including: OnMilwaukee.com, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Wisconsin State Journal, Up Front with Vicki McKenna, Milwaukee NBC affiliate WTMJ-4, Newsradio 620 WTMJ, WisconsinEye Made in Wisconsin and Milwaukee CBS affiliate WDJT 58.

It’s been a year of continued growth and as we look forward to our next 12 months, you can be on the look out for more seasonal flavors, a few “surprise” flavors and more products to choose from. We hope you will continue to view us as your Smoke Juice experts.
