			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>JC e-Cig update: We first off would like to thank you for your passion and persistence in staying on us about our e-cig launch.  It&#8217;s because of your unwavering support and continued business that we have spent the last 6 months developing, tweaking and re-tweaking our e-cig to offer a truly unparalleled vaping experience. We are anxious to get our model to market and have you to try it! Our beta testers have put it through the wringer and offered up last minute adjustments. We are now in the final phase of making sure all &#8220;i&#8221;s are dotted and &#8220;t&#8221;s crossed. We know this is not the announcement you were all hoping for but like we have said all along, it will be worth the wait.  Please stay tuned to Facebook for top secret &#8220;teaser&#8221; leaks in the upcoming weeks. Thanks again for your continued business, loyalty and understanding.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As some of you may have noticed, we have recently changed how we describe the nicotine strength in our Smoke Juice flavors on our bottle labels and on our website. For those who may not have noticed, since our inception we have listed nicotine strength in &#8220;mg/mL&#8221; and now we will begin listing nicotine strengths in percentages. For example 24mg/mL will now be listed as 2.4%. The reason for this change is largely to make things easier to understand and clear up confusion amongst customers and the public in general. Our Customer Service team receives daily inquires asking how to do the mathematical equation to determine how much nicotine they may be consuming.  When dealing with both weight (mg) and volume (mL) the math can become overwhelming to the average person when determining how many mLs they have consumed. With percentages a person can quickly determine how many mLs of nicotine has been consumed. In the case of accidental ingestion, switching to percentages will assist poison control in quickly determining how many mLs of nicotine may have been swallowed and what course of action, if any, may need to be taken.</p>
<p>Safety and quality have always been at the forefront of our company culture. From child resistant caps, to ingredient lists, to lot numbering, to clear nicotine warnings, to tamper evident shrink banding; we have always attempted to set the industry standard whenever we can. It is our hope that the rest of the industry follows suit and we can collectively make strides to manufacture the safest products possible.</p>
<p>As always, thank you for your continued business and support.</p>
<p>- JC Team</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;" align="center">While our Johnson Creek family is enjoying the next few days off with our families, we wanted to take a moment to wish you a very happy holiday season. No matter what you celebrate, we hope you celebrate it with your favorite Johnson Creek Smoke Juice. We&#8217;ll be back bright and early on Tuesday morning to pack and ship all the orders. Until then, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Kwanza!</p>
<p align="center">Making its 3rd annual appearance, our own version of &#8216;Twas the night before Christmas!</p>
<p align="center">Twas the night before Shipping Deadlines, when all through the Creek,</p>
<p align="center">Every creature was packing, even our IT geek;</p>
<p align="center">The packages were stuffed in bins with care,</p>
<p align="center">In hopes that UPS soon would be there;</p>
<p align="center">The LEGAL ADULTS were nestled all snug in their beds,</p>
<p align="center">While visions of Premium Smoke Juice danced in their heads;</p>
<p align="center">Lab Techs were slaving away in their lab, and I at my desk,</p>
<p align="center">Had just settled down for an e-mail-filled night,</p>
<p align="center">When out in the field there arose such a clatter,</p>
<p align="center">I sprang from my desk to see what was the matter!</p>
<p align="center">Away to the doors I flew like a flash,</p>
<p align="center">Ran out through the snow, expecting a crash!</p>
<p align="center">Cold as it was, with my e-cig glowing <span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>blu</strong></span>,</p>
<p align="center">wishing I was still at my desk, puffing off my pass through,</p>
<p align="center">When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,</p>
<p align="center">But a Johnson Creek sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,</p>
<p align="center">With our boss as the driver, so lively and quick,</p>
<p align="center">I knew in a moment he was impersonating St. Nick.</p>
<p align="center">More rapid than eagles his production crew came,</p>
<p align="center">And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by other names;</p>
<p align="center">&#8220;Get to work now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!</p>
<p align="center">On, Comet! on Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen!</p>
<p align="center">To the top of the hill! To the top of the wall!</p>
<p align="center">Now hurry! Dash away! Go faster all!&#8221;</p>
<p align="center">As dry atomizers that cause curses to fly,</p>
<p align="center">When they meet with a deadline, bottles piled high to the sky,</p>
<p align="center">So off to the post office they flew,</p>
<p align="center">With the truck full of orders, the boss riding shotgun, too.</p>
<p align="center">And then, in a rush, we found the door locked,</p>
<p align="center">We all stood there looking more than a little shocked.</p>
<p align="center">As I drew in my head, and was turning around,</p>
<p align="center">Down the sidewalk old St. Nick came with a bound.</p>
<p align="center">He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,</p>
<p align="center">And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;</p>
<p align="center">An empty bag he had flung on his back,</p>
<p align="center">And he looked like a robber, ready to fill his pack.</p>
<p align="center">His eyes &#8212; how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry!</p>
<p align="center">His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!</p>
<p align="center">His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,</p>
<p align="center">And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;</p>
<p align="center">The sight of a mini he held tight in his teeth,</p>
<p align="center">And the thick vapor encircled his head like a wreath;</p>
<p align="center">He had a broad face and a little round belly,</p>
<p align="center">That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.</p>
<p align="center">He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,</p>
<p align="center">And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;</p>
<p align="center">A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,</p>
<p align="center">Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;</p>
<p align="center">He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,</p>
<p align="center">And filled his bag with the orders; then turned with a jerk,</p>
<p align="center">And laying his finger aside of his nose,</p>
<p align="center">And giving a nod, into the post office he rose;</p>
<p align="center">The boss sprang back to his truck, to his team gave a whistle,</p>
<p align="center">And away they flew down the street like a missile.</p>
<p align="center">But I heard him exclaim, as we drove out of sight,</p>
<p align="center">&#8220;Happy Holiday vaping to all, Santa sure bailed us out tonight.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are losing one of the first people to have joined us on this smoke juice adventure and I am excited for her!  I have not always been one of the most positive people through my life, but when you put it all on the line to work on your dreams, well it changes you and your outlook. I&#8217;m a more positive person and our web mistress Aki has helped me to be who I am today. Aki and I have butted heads on numerous occasions and on both of our parts we each wished the other would shut up and hear what the other was saying. One of the greatest things about starting your own business and growing with a great team is that you have to trust the folks that you work with to do a great job and help lead you to success. Aki has done that for us all along the way, sometimes kicking and screaming. With Aki&#8217;s help we have gone from a dark ages web site to something with features we could only dream of, and a design that invites you to stay and look around. Aki will be working on the presidential re-election campaign and as she says it&#8217;s a job of a lifetime. Yes it will be difficult to keep on track when she leaves but I am all for people who jump at the chances that come their way. This is the entrepreneurial spirit that drives this country, and Johnson Creek would not be here if that spirit didn’t exist. To Aki we say farewell but not goodbye, we hope that you always have the spirit to take the leap of faith it takes to explore the opportunities that come your way.</p>
<p>Michael Galesky, President, Johnson Creek Enterprises LLC</p>
