Introducing JUUL 2: The Next Generation of JUUL
The Journey of JUUL Labs
JUUL Labs was established in 2015 by James Monsees and Adam Bowen as a spin-off from Pax Labs, aiming to offer a sleek, user-friendly alternative to traditional cigarettes. Their pod-based devices and nicotine salt formula quickly gained popularity, and by 2018, JUUL controlled over 70% of the U.S. e-cigarette market. Its latest devices, including JUUL 2, feature updated designs, new flavor options, and improved pod systems, while the company continues to operate globally within evolving regulations.
Meet the Next Generation: JUUL 2
JUUL 2 is the latest pod device from JUUL, offering a compact, draw-activated, buttonless design with prefilled pod compatibility. With upgraded features like longer battery life, larger e-liquid capacity, and smartphone connectivity, it delivers smooth satisfaction for MTL vaping. Portable and easy to use, JUUL 2 is perfect for beginners or anyone looking to manage cravings on the go.
How JUUL 2 Improves on the Original
JUUL 2 builds on the original JUUL with an updated design, improved battery life, and larger e-liquid capacity. While both devices are draw-activated and easy to use, JUUL 2 introduces new pod options and added features like smartphone connectivity, offering a more refined experience overall.
Design and overall feel
JUUL 2 features a refined design with a more modern look and feel, while retaining the slim, pocket-friendly form factor JUUL is known for. The device feels solid and streamlined, with subtle updates rather than a complete redesign.
Pod capacity and structure
JUUL 2 pods have a different internal design compared to original JUUL pods and are intended specifically for the JUUL 2 device.
Value and pod pack structure
Compared to the original JUUL system, JUUL 2 pods are supplied in packs of two, reflecting changes to the JUUL product range over time. Earlier JUUL pods were commonly sold in four-pod packs, which some users found less flexible.
With JUUL 2, the smaller pack format allows users to purchase pods more incrementally, which many adult users may find more accessible when managing ongoing pod replacement.
Battery performance
JUUL 2 battery life has been increased by 20% which offers improved day-to-day battery reliability compared to the original JUUL, designed to better support regular use between charges. Performance is consistent rather than focused on high power output.
Pod compatibility
JUUL 2 is compatible only with JUUL 2 pods. Original JUUL pods cannot be used with the JUUL 2 device.
Ease of use
Both systems are draw-activated and simple to operate, but JUUL 2 benefits from a more updated charging solution and a slightly more refined daily experience.
Pod Longevity: What to Expect
Each JUUL 2 pod holds 1.2ml of e-liquid with an 18mg nicotine strength, providing a satisfying experience for most users. For an average vaper, one pod typically lasts 2–3 days, or around 200–300 puffs, though this can vary based on personal vaping habits. Users who take longer, deeper draws may find they need to replace pods more frequently than those who vape in shorter puffs.
Are JUUL 2 Pods Compatible with the Original JUUL?
No, the JUUL 2 device is designed exclusively for JUUL 2 pods, meaning original JUUL pods are not compatible. JUUL 2 pods feature a completely updated design with new components that allow them to function properly with the JUUL 2 device. For this reason, users should not attempt to use first-generation JUUL pods with a JUUL 2 device.

These are flavours that have been available for JUUL 2 pods in some markets:
- Apple – classic red apple fruit flavour
