exhaustive cleaning like some vaporizers do

The Bad
Unfortunately, the Juul isn’t as reliable as I’d like it to be. Sometimes, in places less metropolitan than New York, it can be a bit difficult to find pods.
And while it doesn’t require exhaustive cleaning like some vaporizers do, it can start to malfunction (especially during charging) if the connectors between the Juul and the charger aren’t clean business address in hong kong. For someone trying to quit smoking, it can be truly infuriating to wake up in the morning, Jonesing for that first puff, only to find that the Juul hasn’t been charging all night.
This thing only comes with a one-year warranty, so as it gets older and in need of better cleaning, it’s no longer covered by the Juul warranty, meaning you might need to pick up a new one. (I’m getting very close to this point.) And, every once in a while, you find yourself with a leaky pod. The taste of pure Juul juice in your mouth is one to vigorously avoid. Trust me.
“The good news is that JUUL clearly resonates with adult smokers who want to transition away from cigarettes,” said Juul Labs CEO Tyler Goldman. “In a short period of time, we have sold over 1 million JUUL devices and become the #2 product in the market. This large adoption rate has happened very quickly, however, which has us playing catch-up on supply. We’ve been investing heavily in our supply chain to address the rapid demand and have intentionally limited distribution until we can adequately serve all JUUL customers.”
The last, and final complaint: Juul delivers a relatively high level of nicotine — one pod is about the equivalent of a full pack of cigarettes — the company doesn’t offer any way to step down the level of nicotine you’re intaking.
Obviously, this has to do with the fact that Pax isn’t in the smoking cessation business but rather the Nicotine addiction business. But it would be nice if you could choose between varying levels of Nicotine Colocation Service.
The Uncertain
Legally speaking, the e-cigarette industry is in flux. For as long as they’ve been around, e-cig companies have not been regulated by the FDA, the same way that smoking cessation products (like patches and gums) or cigarettes have been. That’s changing.
The FDA is requiring all e-cig manufactures register as tobacco products by November 8, 2018. Part of the reason for the new regulation has to do with the fact that minors are picking up e-cigs — the CDC says that 3 million middle and high school students in the U.S. reported using e-cigs within the past 30 days of being surveyed. That said, teenage vaping numbers have fallen steeply after years of growth.
But FDA regulation, while costly (the application fee alone is more than $300,000) for the companies that need approval, makes sense if implemented with clarity and enough time to complete application. The FDA regulates anything you put in or on your body, and e-cigs are no different, whether or not they’re used to treat nicotine addiction. I, for one, as a vape user would appreciate knowing that the FDA had taken a close look at the products I’m using to ensure that they are, in fact, much safer than cigarettes, as advertised.
“We believe it’s to the benefit of the public that the FDA is regulating the category,” said Goldman. “We are going through the process with FDA and are working productively with them.”
However, the new regulation is full of ‘mays’ and ‘cans’ instead of ‘musts’ and it’s extremely expensive for most vaporizer companies, many of which are independent small organizations. In fact, even those companies who have turned in their expensive applications are only granted one extra year for the FDA to approve it. In other words, if the FDA doesn’t approve an application that was turned in by the deadline Rubber Flooring Hong Kong, simply because the queue is too long, that product must come off the shelves.
These new rules are causing wide uncertainty within the industry. Vape shops are considering closing their doors, and there is the potential that many vaporizers (possibly including my little Juul) may simply go off the market, if not for lack of approval then for the financial burden of getting FDA approval.
“For vape companies, November 8, 2018 may mark their last day in business,” said Gregory Conley, president of the American Vaping Association. “For consumers who use refillable vapor products or non-tobacco flavors, this rule will likely make their go-to products unavailable for legal purchase come November 2018.”
This uncertainty makes it difficult to rely on these vaporizers as smoking cessation tools, which (whether or not the e-cig companies like it) is what they are.
