First, this vape is sleek and hardly noticeable: It's USB-drive design can be enclosed in the palm of a hand, and it doesn't produce a massive plume of vapor like some other e-cigarettes. Second, the nicotine content in its cartridges or 'pods' set a new precedent for the e-cigarette market.E-cigarettes work by converting liquid nicotine into a vapor that the user inhales. They're battery operated and intend to provide a similar stimulus to that of smoking regular cigarettes.Juul is small and discreetPortland Press Herald/GettyDeveloped by two former smokers, Juul's is to 'improve the lives of one billion adult smokers by eliminating cigarettes.'

There's the e-cigarette itself, which contains the battery, temperature regulator and sensors that read the charge level.
The pod contains Juul's patented e-liquid formula. A mixture of nicotine salts, glycerol, propylene glycol, benzoic acid and flavorings. Glycerol serves as a humectant, which means it adds moisture to the solution. Glycerol is classified as 'generally recognized as safe' by the FDA, so it's approved for consumption. Propylene glycol is a synthetic compound commonly used in polyester production, but it's also approved as an. Benzoic acid occurs naturally in many plants, but its synthetic form is also widely used as a food additive and preservative. It's 'generally recognized as safe' for those uses, but can be an in large quantities.
Flavorings is an ambiguous term, but most often refers to various natural and synthetic ingredients that companies use to flavor their products. For example, Juul doesn't specify what's in it's mint-flavored pod, but it probably contains peppermint extract or oil.The nicotine salts in Juul pods are a type of nicotine that supposedly feels more like a cigarette when inhaled, as opposed to other vapes that use freebase nicotine.

Juul pods currently come in eight flavors; cucumber, creme, mint, mango, menthol, fruit, Virginia tobacco and classic tobacco.
