Wow. What?
Minor point, but nearly every flavor of eliquid I've ever seen comes in a 0mg variant. Granted, none of the gas station pod systems have that.
More importantly: there is no way in hell you are vaping a Juul and just think its flavored vapor. I have not once seen someone take a hit on a Juul for the first time and not have a small coughing fit. Unless you inherited an impossibly massive genetic nicotine tolerance, the first few times you hit a Juul you're basically going to fly. I've seen one person puke. Having a small brown-out for a second would not be unheard of. Its very strong. Its made for adult smokers who have been smoking for years and want to quit. Its not even that tasty compared to the other less strong brands; nicotine is straight up disgusting, and only gets more disgusting as the concentration grows.
I don't believe for a second that kids were genuinely self-reporting that they had no idea, unless they were actually vaping something more like 3mg/ml juice from a normal vape. That, I could see. But a 50mg/ml Juul, absolutely not. That's like saying you drank a shot of vodka and had no idea it wasn't water.
- Raidion 8y agoI agree with you, but as a note, you'll cough just as hard if you hit a 0mg nicotine vape for the first time. It's not the nicotine that makes you cough.
- warmblanket 8y agoSwitched from cigarettes to JUUL after 10 years of smoking. I agree on the coughing, but from a straight-up nicotine delivery standpoint, cigarettes seem more pronounced for me.
