    It is a JUUL.

    Often science and chemistry is counter-intuitive to "common sense" as it were. It works the way it works for reasons described in the patent. I may not be the best person to explain it (well) but I understand the claims, and usage seems to be bearing them out. Tho the total nic content is "high"...

    Glad I got you all thinking :) As I said at the start when there was Very High Skepticism: "There is no reason to believe technology* could not solve the problems of the past" (more or less). PaxLabs is definitely on to something and it is worth "inquiring minds" to figure out what it is so...

    Well...glad I got you all thinking. That said — I've run out of "pods" and man...my old stuff is like...'meh'. It is without question, not the same. I look forward to other opinions... -K

    Exactly - adds strength that it was not 'obvious' and well known to others "skilled in the art". -K

    "Tada!" - and yes Ploom, Inc is the former name of PAXLabs. The PAX has become very popular so they changed their name to incorporate that product. And, like ya do around here, you come up with some IP, you patent it...it is the Valley Way™ -K

    Ammonia isn't listed as an ingredient and unless someone has figured out how to process all noticeable taste/smell/burn away, I don't detect it. The contents, in order are VG,PG,Flavor,Nicotine,Benzoic Acid. Let's not Jump ;)

    I can verify this - it isn't like the murderous NJOYs. Again, I am an engineer but not a chemist so I don't know what they are doing. Like Matty Mc, "I just like the way it feels..." heheh

    I can do this already...there is DEFINITELY a difference between what is in theirs and my normal stuff. I refilled one with my normal driver and I am on it a lot more. When I use theirs, I "feel" it...eyes open wide. 4-5ish pulls, I'm done for a bit. But as I said yesterday, it isn't "race" and...

    This is a disassembled cart. The tabs in the side hold it on pretty tight. As you see, just get the mouthpiece off, remove the rubber seal, refill. Can't really do a good battery life report until tomorrow. The charger is so damned handy that I kept putting it in the little dock since it was...

    Introducing the Juul

    No one has them in shops yet or gas stations. Here in Berkeley there is a Pax authorized dealer that has one on order (it is more profitable for them to sell mods and crap clones, obvs...) so I ordered it direct. They ship out of Fremont, CA so it only took a day to get to me. -K

    It would be silly to believe that technology would not be able to address the issues of old minis and micros that drove us to insane mods and tanks and whatnot because those things weren't getting the job done. Ploom, now PaxLabs, has been selling tobacco-based closed "tobacco pod" stuff for a...

    Another article on the Juul

    I've tried the thing, have it sitting here next to the mods I've spent 100s and 100s on, tanks, etc. It isn't like the normal stuff I vape and it isn't "rushy" like having just a super-high nic content vape. You don't, for want of a better word, "need" to suck it dry to feel satiated. As I...

    Introducing the Juul

    So...as someone who's been vaping since forever, another take: It isn't bad. Really. Stay with me for a sec...I *know* folks in these parts HATE IT when someone like something that isn't a mod ;) Let's talk about it as it is, first. For the size, the battery lasts and is tuned to put out...

    That this product is only available at retail in California? It would make sense of course, as the company that markets them is based in Silicon Valley (San Jose to be exact) and only have retailers in that general area? Everything isn't a conspiracy. -K

    Ok...I made a Real Person Not Connected With This Company Video demoing this thing on my phone and put it on YouTube here: YouTube - So about the XHALE o2... Note that the battery is NOT fully charged. Atty has 2 drops of Alien Visions 'Blend 4' product. Rag all you like, but I dare ya beat...

    Ok, to all of the detractors...listen up: this product, at 7-11, is exactly what we need. Like many, I was quite skeptical, but bought one last week when i was in the bay area when my much more expensive Mod from a Name-You-Know-And-Trust suddenly and rudely stopped working. I do not know who...

    Djarum Specials - equivalent juice/recipe?

    I agree. I found that really no matter what you did/do the absolute must-have ingredient is eugenol...you gotta get just the right amount tho or it is like vaping a bandage ;) -K

    Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update--APPEAL's COURT ISSUES STAY

    ...a French dude wrote all about what we see and live today in a nice piece called "The Law". Sadly it appears about half of the American population aligns themselves with the concept that Freedom and Liberty are dated, passé notions that have little relevance into today's "real" world...
