Vuse Alto Review: Can This New Pod Challenge the Juul? (2023)

FAQs

Is the Vuse Alto better than Juul? ›

One of the main advantages of the Vuse Alto over the Juul is its faster and cheaper charge time. The Juul has 0.7ml pods that can last for around 200 puffs and a 200mAh battery, while the Vuse Alto has a more powerful 350mAh battery and longer-lasting 1.8ml pods.

How long does a pod last? In average a single pod can deliver up to 200-275 puffs, the equivalent of a 20 cigarettes pack. As each Vuse Pod pack consists of two pods, you'll get roughly two packs of cigarettes.

Why Does VUSE Taste Burnt? It is confirmed using too much nicotine in your e-liquid can cause a burnt taste in the VUSE pod. Additionally, VUSE e-cigarettes are commonly known to produce a burnt flavor due to their design.

Our statement that our vaping devices have 99% fewer toxicants is based on a comparison of cigarette and Vuse emissions for a number of key toxicants present in cigarette smoke, which have been identified as harmful.

1: Vaping is less harmful than smoking, but it's still not safe. E-cigarettes heat nicotine (extracted from tobacco), flavorings and other chemicals to create an aerosol that you inhale. Regular tobacco cigarettes contain 7,000 chemicals, many of which are toxic.

2% nicotine is the same as 20mg/ml nicotine. As previously stated, all nicotine products are limited to a maximum of 2% or 20mg/ml. With 20 milligrams of nicotine extract in E-Liquid, you may think that's not a lot, but nicotine is pretty potent!

One JUULpod appears capable of delivering the nicotine equivalent to smoking about a pack of cigarettes, with variability. In JUUL-naïve smokers, JUUL's nicotine boost was lower than that of combustible cigarettes; while in experienced users, JUUL was comparable.

By comparison, JUUL pods are available in two different nicotine strengths: 5 percent and 3 percent. According to the manufacturer, 5 percent of the 0.7 milliliters (mL) in the pod equals about 40 mg of nicotine per pod. And 3 percent equals 23 mg per pod. One pod is roughly equivalent to about 20 cigarettes.

An average smoker inhales about 1.1 to 1.8 milligrams of nicotine per cigarette, equating to 22 to 36 milligrams of nicotine per pack of 20 cigarettes.

When taking lots of puffs in a row, your wick doesn't have enough time to soak up the e-liquid, causing it to dry out and cause burnt taste. If you start noticing a slightly burnt taste when you inhale, put your vape pen down for a moment to give the wick time to absorb more e-liquid.

Volatile Organic Compounds and Diacetyl. Vaping juices may contain volatile organic compounds or diacetyl, both of which are known to cause throat irritation.

Hazardous chemicals highlighted in the study include isophorone, detected in Mi-Salt and Vuse products, which can cause effects ranging from nose and throat irritation to fatigue and depression, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

Therefore, while e-cigarette use is an appealing alternative to conventional cigarette smoking, it still puts you at risk of increased heart rate and blood pressure and a higher chance of suffering a heart attack than non-smokers. Vape users should understand that e-cigarettes are potentially dangerous to their health.

A: Overall, there's not much difference between smoking and vaping. Commonly, smoking was thought to be more harmful because the product is being burnt and smoke inhaled into the lungs. But we're finding very similar damage from heating up vaping solutions and inhaling that vapor into the lungs.

When you go without vaping, the nicotine level in your bloodstream drops, which may cause unpleasant feelings, physical symptoms, and strong urges to vape. This is nicotine addiction.

How much nicotine should I vape if I smoke a pack a day? ›

1-2 packs a day, you will likely need 18mg of nicotine. Half - 1 pack a day, you will likely need 12mg of nicotine. Half pack or less a day, you will likely need 6mg of nicotine. Just a few a day, you will likely need 3mg of nicotine.

There are two types of vaping devices: mouth-to-lung or direct-to-lung. These are to do with the way you inhale the vapour — whether you hold it in your mouth first (like a cigarette), or direct inhale (like an asthma inhaler). The closest to smoking a cigarette is a mouth-to-lung device.

Many sub-ohm vapers prefer to use 3 mg or 6 mg e-juice. However, going above 12 mg in a sub-ohm device is not recommended. Keep in mind, the higher you climb up the nicotine ladder, the e-juice will have a harsher throat hit.

The three most common types of vaping devices that people choose as JUUL alternatives are disposable vapes, refillable pod systems and other brands of pre-filled pod systems.

One pod per day should be sufficient to prevent withdrawal symptoms for a 20 a day smoker. The JUUL is much smoother than other e-cigarettes, but if you find it too harsh, puff more gently and leave longer spaces between puffs.

No difference in the success rate of quitting, or even reducing how many cigarettes were smoked, was found when comparing nicotine vape use and non-nicotine vape use. Overall, only 15% of participants in this study managed to quit. Another study found that 68.1% of e-cigarette users also continue to smoke tobacco.

Breathing in the harmful chemicals from vaping products can cause irreversible (cannot be cured) lung damage, lung disease and, in some cases, death. Some chemicals in vaping products can also cause cardiovascular disease and biological changes that are associated with cancer development.

As of December 2022, Juul faced 4,908 lawsuits claiming its products can cause lung damage, could explode or catch fire and were marketed to adolescents who became addicted.

Verdict: Vaping is Cheaper than Smoking.

How Many Puffs is Heavy Vaping? If you are puffing more than 10ml of liquid a day, you are vaping heavily. That's more than a thousand puffs. There are different methods of vaping, too, which can impact how many puffs is considered heavy vaping.

What's the best way to quit vaping? ›

Conclusion: Is 3mg of Nicotine a Lot? If used sensibly, nicotine is no more harmful than caffeine. While we're not denying the fact nicotine is not good for you, its dangers can sometimes be overstated so you shouldn't be overly anxious about e-juice laced with nicotine, whether it be 3mg or higher.

0.6%: Ultra low nicotine. 1.2%: Low strength nicotine. 1.8%: Medium strength nicotine. 2.4%: High strength nicotine.

3mg nicotine - This is the lowest level nicotine you can get in a liquid (unless you mix it yourself with some 0mg to dilute it). It's often the ideal final step for people quitting smoking, who have reduced their intake to almost nothing.

Mi-Pod 2.0 and Nic Salt Vape Juice

The Mi-Pod 2.0 is our recommendation for the best replacement for Vuse Alto users that are interested in using a less expensive vape system.

One major advantage vape pens have over Juul is that they provide a far wider range of customization when it comes to the amount of nicotine delivered and the flavors used. The bottom line is both are highly popular, so it would be prudent for convenience store owners to have both options available to customers.

How long does the battery charge last? When fully charged, your Vuse will last about 190 puffs.

What does JUUL do to lungs? ›

Breathing in the harmful chemicals from vaping products can cause irreversible (cannot be cured) lung damage, lung disease and, in some cases, death. Some chemicals in vaping products can also cause cardiovascular disease and biological changes that are associated with cancer development.

Sniff around for unfamiliar smells.

If you suspect someone in your home has vaped recently, smell their clothing or the area they were standing to try and catch a whiff. Nicotine vapes often have a sweet minty, fruity, or candy-like smell that is strong at first but fades over time.
