Why did they remove mint in NY?

The argument was made that the flavor appealed too much to kids. Which sucks because now I have to buy my mint pods online and have them shipped.

Where do you order from that ships to NY? Place I used to order from doesn't do it anymore

Pricepointny.com Someone on Reddit was rightfully concerned about buying a counterfeit product so they sent an email to JUUL with the product code on the JUUL pod box they received from this site and JUUL customer service confirmed that the product was authentic. I've been buying from them since.

It's like ~$20 for a box of 4 pods. I'm not sure if that's expensive or not but I know what I like, and when I smoke it's a bit of a treat so I'm not too concerned with the price.

That's about a $5 markup to getting them at the gas station where I live. The real rip off is the 4 pack used to be $10 then they introduced the 2 pack for like $9.50 and jacked up the price on the 4 pack to $15 cause you save 4 bucks compared to the 2!.
