- 013a 8y agoTo be fair: The patent (around Nic Salts) is specifically useful for the delivery of nic in low output devices. Imagine it like this: You've got 12 mg/ml in a high output device which can vaporize 90% of the nicotine, versus 50 mg/ml in a low output device (like a Juul) that can only vaporize 30%. Essentially, the patent is mostly useful in shrinking the size of the device, not necessarily delivering more nicotine. And, truly; if you put Juul-equivalent liquid (50 mg/ml) in a traditional sub-ohm device, even high tolerance users would probably black out or throw up. That being said, anyone who has done a variety of vape devices would concur that Juuls hit harder than anything else out there. And despite their marketing that they're trying to help smokers quit, they still don't offer any refills lower than 50mg/ml, which is an obscene amount of nicotine even for a low output device. Less talk and more solutions from Juul; let's start with 35mg/ml and 20mg/ml refill packs.
