REVIEWS REVIEW BY JAMES PARNELL Device Specifications: Length (battery): 8.72 cm Length (battery + pod): 9.48 cm Width: 1.51 cm Pod capacity: 0.7 ml I’ve heard a lot about JUUL and I’m glad I finally get to give one a try. Firstly, this device has that luxury item feeling. It’s sleek and lightweight with no buttons. I hate to say it but it’s something I’d expect to receive from Apple. The mod including the pod totals to only a few grams, which is mind blowing. This device has clearly had a lot of man hours making it so compact and discreet. The device takes closed pods that come in only five flavours at 20mg (see the flavours below). It gives a satisfying mouth-to-lung experience but I feel that it was designed for a higher nicotine level, as the device produces quite a light throat hit for a cig-alike. The JUUL uses a closed loop temperature control algorithm that always gives an optimum output to the pods, this also means no more dry hits like other devices. - Magnetic charge doc - Fast charge The battery lasts an impressive amount of time considering its size. It’s stated that a full battery is capable of around 200 puffs. This is pretty accurate and the JUUL would usually last the best part of a day; roughly two thirds of a pod depending on the user. This well-designed vape has an indicator light on the front face that you can tap to see the battery level. The kit comes with a USB charging dock that looks similar to a small USB stick. Here’s the magic, you just pop the JUUL onto the dock and the magnets hold it in place whilst it charges. - Choice of e-liquid I can understand why the JUUL is so popular; it has an impressive cig-alike experience and is both stylish and innovative. It’s definitely a high-end device and frankly I am a big fan even though I like more freedom with my e-liquid choice. APPLE ORCHARD This e-liquid has a smooth and fruity red apple taste. It’s fresh and uplifting. ROYAL CRÈME This is a rich e-liquid that has a smooth chocolate base infused with a sweet vanilla. MANGO NECTAR A light tropical, mango flavour with a light sweet hint. 166 | VM20 GOLDEN TOBACCO This is a rich traditional tobacco flavour with smooth earthy notes. GLACIER MINT A sweet and subtle mint flavour with an icy hit.
