New York Post Refers To Juul Vape Pens As 'Hard To Quit'

In a news report published on the New York Post website, Christian Gollayan, or perhaps his editors, referred to Juul vape pens as “hard to quit.”

The reference to Juuls as “hard to quit” vape pens is made in the title of the report, which reads as follows:

“This sleek looking vape pen is hard to quit”

In the report, Gollayan quoted a 29-year-old film editor in Bed Stuy by the name of Thomas Wyatt, who goes through a Juul pod every couple of days, as having said that the device “definitely satisfies” his craving.

Wyatt, by his own account, was quoted as having said that he’d “like to eventually completely get off nicotine, but [vaping has] worked really well as a way to transition from smoking cigarettes.”

“It definitely satisfies my craving (…) I’d like to eventually completely get off nicotine, but it’s worked really well as a way to transition from smoking cigarettes … [Juul feels] like a cigarette — it doesn’t look dorky or obnoxious.”

As for why the NY Post report referred to Juul as “hard to quit,” we imagine it may have something to do with the nicotine that Wyatt referenced as vaporizers like Juul are designed to deliver a nicotine-laced aerosol or vapor to their users. Notably, not all vape pens are designed strictly for use with liquid nicotine like Juuls. One such vape that breaks this mold is the Air 2 Mini by VaporFi, a portable vape pen that offers users the ability to vaporize the vape juice of their choosing – including nicotine-free vape juices.

Juul pods, while available in different flavors, are essentially one-size-fits-all in the sense that they all contain 0.7 milliliters of nicotine, or 5 percent in weight, which they claim on their website to be the equivalent to approximately one pack of cigarettes.

In other Juul news, the company has hired a new CEO, which it poached from the Chobani yogurt company. And according to Nielsen data, their e-cigarettes continue to dominate the U.S. market. And for those who didn’t catch it, the company dismissed a rumor floating around social media that Juuling causes cancer as “unsubstantiated and reckless.”
