- Phlarp 7y agoIt appears they popularized nicotine salts, but you can get nicotine salt ejuice for use in standard mod/tanks setups. I don't have any experience to assess if it is more satisfying or smoother but I believe Juul has used both those claims in their marketing.
- raihansaputra 7y agoFrom my experience it's not 'smoother' per se, but you can inhale as you would smoke (MtL or Mouth to Lung), while the standard mod/tanks setups tends to be inhaled as you would 'shisha' (DtL or direct to lung). It's also quicker to get the 'hit' as salt-nicotine is quicker to absorb by the body.
- sjnair96 7y agoWhile you can do Mouth-to-Lung on a Juul (mainly for vape tricks such as ghosting or french inhaling)l, I'd say it's much more common to Direct-to-Lung inhale at least among young adult nicotine fiends who are dependent on the substance.
- raihansaputra 7y agoYes, AFAIK Juul was the first to popularise it. Using salt-nics enables device makers to use lower-wattage devices for the same nicotine 'hit', and also reduces the vapor output. This results in smaller devices due to smaller battery and more convenient to use.
- burk96 7y agoAs I understand it, yes. According to my friends who vape, Juul is still way ahead of everyone in the juice department. So much better they'll spend close to $60 a week on the stuff... Pretty sure that's more expensive per volume than printer ink!
- rhizome 7y agoPretty close to what I was paying as a pack-a-day cigarette smoker. They're copying the streaming TV subscription business model!
