Introducing the Juul

[kakiser56]

An interesting twist on a cig-alike. Also some basic flaws in the article on e-cigs as well.

They're obviously having a media blitz - there's an article in Wired as well.......
This Might Just Be the First Great E-Cig | WIRED

Interestingly it seems to be a temperature regulated device and uses something like WTA liquid.

I just saw the promo vid. The vapor production was hilarious.

 

[Moonbogg]

Awesome. Who wants my P3 and K4 i'm going all juul baby.

 

[vapero]

it looks better than a cigalike but I bet it won't be near a mod, or even an ego

 

[WattWick]

Three times the vapor quality!

This is the art of selling sand in Sahara.

Let me translate from marketing speak:

Some company is launching a cigalike. It's square and will contain some kind of WTA liquid.

A device that delivers nicotine as efficiently as a cigarette was stated by British American Tobacco to be 'the holy grail' for their ecigs in their press release earlier this year. I think someone's aiming for a buyout.

Still, an efficient nicotine delivery system is not something I want for my gear at least. This quest is how we ended up with cigarettes laced and adulterated - and it's also what makes them so addictive.

I think they'll persuade some would-be cigalike users, but that's about all.

Just watched the video. It seems it's not for me - you have to be a young, good looking hipster and know how to dance to use it.

This would be like coming out with a smartphone today and claiming, "yep, we are first to market this thing here. We are special!"

Or like watching BT join the market and make their claims of uniqueness and innovation.

Oh. My.God.

Right low, I'm laughing my brains out.

Check this out:

"Electronic cigarettes have been around for the last several years at least, but haven’t really caught on in that time. While about 60 percent of smokers have at one time or another tried e-cigs, few come back to them. The majority return to traditional cigarettes, in part because e-cigs don’t provide the same sensation as lighting up a Marlboro or other brand.

For the past two years, Pax Labs has been working to change that."


C'mon... REALLY ???


So, they mean to tell us that the "poor e-cig industry" has not been able to expand itself in the last SIX years, at least.

But "they will change that".

Now, that they are finally in business (after spending TWO YEARS developing something inferior to most of the devices we have today), e-cigarettes will finally sell.
Because theirs is the ONLY e-cig that will "provide the same sensation as lighting up a Marlboro or other brand".

Thing is, I don't want "the same sensation as lighting up a marlboro"...

fixed that for you

I didn't know how lacking my mechs and rdas, with my max vg, pure usp nicotine and silky smooth flavorings were until I read this. Thanks PAX! Please sell me some of your mystical "nicotine salts" that you won't identify!

Sealed units...check
Proprietary connection...check
Controlled dose...check

Getting ready for deeming regulations...check

That was my impression as well.

I'm glad to be away from the huge combustion cigarette / Pax Juul spike when I vape in the mornings.

 

[EBates]

Really!!!??? And it only took Two Years! Really!! Just think what they could do in Ten Years!

 

[jpargana]

fixed that for you

Quite right.

Just to add:

I cannot properly express my gratitude to those guys.

Apparently, I've been misguided in the last (almost) six and an half years.

After all that time I have been vaping, those guys will *finally* show me what a *proper* e-cigarette is.

Because they have spent the last two years developing it. Therefore, it "must" be really good.

One e-cigarette that "tastes just like a Marlboro". Yummy.


(Did I mention I cannot even smoke a Marlboro, or any other cigarette, anymore? Nor do I have any desire to smoke one? )

Here is my Holy Grail of an efficient nicotine delivery system, especially if I push the nic levelP
