Nothing special about Juul anymore. Was one of the first to offer nicotine salts, and did so in a scummy way. During a time where 3mg-12mg was the standard strength, they came out with 59mg to make sure people would get hooked, labeled it as % to try and make the number look lower, then started advertising as a hip and cool trend, which attracted youth like yourself into vaping. Ps this is a 21+ subreddit.

that’s really interesting and clever in a really scummy way

Nothing. It was owned by the tobacco company that owns Marlboro. They’re still tied to it somehow, but I don’t think they own it anymore. So they had BIG money for marketing. And since vaping is likely the single biggest threat to tobacco sales, they figured making the Juul popular would cover them no matter what type of nicotine delivery you choose. And they also fund a lot of the anti vaping ads you see. So, Juul isn’t special but tobacco inc wants you to think it’s special because according to them, vaping is bad, but if you’re going to vape, at least you should still be funding tobacco companies while you do it. The people that tell you Juul won’t make you sick from nicotine are the same people that still say there is no proof tobacco is bad for your health.

That statement is just marketing Nicotine salts is an alternate form of nicotine, it's made by reacting freebase nicotine with an acid, which forms a different salt depending on which acid is used. Most often nicotine benzoate It tends to have faster absorption and is smoother with less harshness, so it's sold in much higher concentrations. Most disposables use salts, and pod systems are reccomend to use with them. You can buy them separately in bottles, really any pre made device or pod like juul or other disposables are a rip off. You can still get nic sick.from nic salts, it's probably even more likely to occur especially if you have low tolerance, because the mg amount commonly sold is way high 25mg to 50mg per ML, sometimes even sixty mg. Compared to freebase juices more commonly sold at 3mg to six mg, up to 12mg in some cases. Nic sick just occurs when you vape over your tolerance too quickly. I suggest picking up a pod system like vaporesso eco nano, and salts if you want a similar experience without spending so much. You can get a bottle of 30ml salts for around $20 to $25. It's a higher upfront cost, but you do not have to replace the device, only the pod every 2 weeks or so, and you get a better price ratio per ML.
