JUUL

Since it's release in 2015 the JUUL has proven to be one of the most successful e-cigarette kits of all time, and it has become a very well known name within the industry indeed. Two years on from it's release, it's still in very popular demand.

The JUUL is regarded as the king of the pod system by many because of its effectiveness at providing a quick nicotine hit, and the quality of the flavours present in the JUUL pods. The JUUL is certainly up there with the best pod systems on the market, it's performance is absolutely second to none, and it is one of the best looking little devices that I have ever held.

Unfortunately, due to the draconian 20mg limit on nicotine containing eliquids imposed on the UK and EU markets thanks to the TPD, the JUUL is not currently available with any UK or EU vendor. I believe that this is a real shame as the JUUL is one of the most effective starter kits I have ever tried, its success has been well proven in the North American market, and I have absolutely no doubt it would be a huge success if a TPD compliant version ever came to the European market, there is still a lot of interest from European vapers in obtaining a JUUL and there are more than a few that jump through hoops to get one from the US. PAX Labs if you are reading this, get on it and get a TPD compliant JUUL to market over here!

Editor's note: I had the other JUUL that my mate brought over from the US, I had heard a lot about them and wanted to try what vaping 50mg juice was like. In all honesty I have been very surprised at how good these things are. Just like the nicotine salts that we are starting to see emerge over here, the vape produced by these products is very smooth, a bit more of a throat hit so in my opinion these are perfect for the hardened smoker, those who need more nic kick and more of a smoking-like experience to get them away from burning tobacco to get their fix. So just how dangerous is the juice in these pods? I have had a bit of spit back and leakage from the odd pod, on your lips and tongue it numbs it a bit but nothing more exciting than that. 50mg nic is not dangerous to adults in these small quantities. Let's hope the Government is serious about reworking the TPD post-Brexit and that they listen carefully to what is scientific, evidence-based truth about eliquid strengths as well as tank and bottle sizes and make vaping regulation as sensible as possible in the future. I love my JUUL and just wish I could get more pods. If readers in the US take pity on me then feel free to message me on the forum ;)
