much faster than freebase and faster than cigs, that's exactly what your graphs show so why do you even argue on that one?
Key points to get ppl addicted fast - high nic conc, salt(acid) for the faster delivery/hit + small nonrefillable cartridges which are pretty expensive. When they were launching it in biggest US cities they organized big parties where they were giving starter packs to students and young ppl for free.
Juul being half angel half devil? No, they're pure devils, especially after the latest news.
When we'll get to the deadline for DR, and juul will remain one of the few legal vape options on the US market, you will see that I was right.
Okay, I get it. You see what you want to see. I won't argue it any more, but you didn't correctly read the graphs. To explain:
Juul's -
speed is the same as a cigarette, not "much faster." They track almost identically in speed to this point.
It reaches a higher nic
level at the top, because it's compared to a relatively low 12mg cigarette. And it's Pax Lab's graph, so let's assume they're bragging a little.
Blu's - independent testing. Look at it again. The top line is a cigarette - faster than salts, and higher nic level.
And I never said (or believed) angel- I think you misunderstand my point. I said they want to make money. And they're not the demon they're made out to be, any more than many other companies with that motive. I recognize (and said so in my post) that what they do isn't necessarily beneficial to their industry. Make no mistake, I believe they'll hurt the vaping industry more than they already have. They have, and will do plenty of things that aren't in the interest of their customers.
Look, I don't care. Hate them if you want. I don't like their product, or really care for them. Full disclosure: Except for the fact that my son and daughter in law no longer smoke, due to Juul. In spite of the fact I gave them free equipment and juice. My niece and nephew quit using them, but have moved on to other products. It's just hard to ignore they made a
really good product (which, as a business owner, I admire), and that was their original goal, no matter how evil you think they are today.
My only real point is that I believe it's narrow minded to think they were conceived with only evil in mind, and believe they have and never had any redeeming value.
edit: forgot to address nic addiction. I've spent many hours reading decades of studies about it. I could post links to the very dry, peer reviewed studies, but it's boring for most. But read this one - it's a good start. There's
one new(ish) study that shows a
little bit of a non-smoking correlation between nic and addiction, but it's fairly vague, and required gene splicing to show any relation to it. This is the link that got me started questioning it though. Read as much as you can of it.
