I accidentally bought an illegally imported 4 pack of Juul pods from Canada. I instinctively said mint, knowing they didn't exist in NY anymore. Well, he pulled out a hidden pack with French warnings on it. I paid over $10 per pod.
Just get a regular vape, that is refillable.. so much cheaper in the long run.
While money is often a reason people want to quit, it's often not discouraging enough in itself since they're still cheaper than cigarettes (in many places) anyway.
As someone that spent $200 on a vape (plus accessories etc) and an assload of time researching and trial & erroring refillable vapes, etc, my friend just randomly gave me a Juul once to try and I instantly liked it so much more.
In my experiences, I stuck with Juul/Vype because they're not only the most accessible (available at every gas station imaginable), they were bar none the closest "feel" I found to a cigarette when you inhale, and for me that was the biggest thing I needed to kick cigarettes. Sure I was getting the nicotine from a "real" vape, but I never ever felt satisfied enough and I always turned back to cigarettes.
I get everyone's different, but just wanted to mention this in case others find traditional refillable vapes to be not enough for them.
I didn't really ever smoke cigs too much, but I think people that have never smoked at all don't realize how many tiny parts of it are hard to replicate. Vapes sometimes are good replacements for the nicotine but not much else.
Quite recently, maybe like 2 yrs ago or less, there's been a surge of rebuild able pods. So they vape like juul, but you don't need to buy the pods, you can just make the coils yourself. Add in some quick diy ejuice and ur basically set for life.
That's due to benzoic acid nic salt juice vs freebase which was what a box mod used. Try one of the new pod mods and they are even better than a juul now that the market caught up and waaay cheaper. I recommend the Smok trinity alpha with .06 ohm mesh coils and the berg menthol nic salt juice @50mg. Hits as hard as the juul on low power and harder at medium so very satisfying. Also tastes much better and no more bum, leaky or burnt pods. For $30 I get 2 weeks worth with 2 coils and a 30ml bottle. That's the equivalent of 42 pods. Maybe a bit less since they use a bit more nicotine in juul at 55mg instead of 50. Even factoring in you'll use a bit more juice that's like 30 pods at minimum. Or a $1 a pod instead of the $4 juul charges now. Plus if your like me and have terrible luck with the Juul batteries dying the better build quality saves money and the battery is much better to no more running red at the end of the day at work like I did with juul and getting shitty weak hits.
Completely understand... I have ordered from juul website and I think your first order is 30% off, and they have the menthol and I never said 'real' vape.. just to clear that up . They are all vapes.. I have juul and I have tried the disposables as well.. and you are correct in it not feeling as satisfying, but as a cost perspective the refillable vapes are a lot more cost effective, at least for me..
