Juul original Vs. Juul 2: What’s new about Juul 2?
Juul 2 is the latest device developed by the leading vape brand Juul based in San Francisco, California. This updated version of the original Juul features multiple improvements over previous Juul pods, including improved safety, an enhanced charging system, unique smartphone connectivity, and more stable battery life. The airflow system is also redesigned to deliver rich and smoother clouds. Another important update in Juul 2 is that its LED light is redecorated to show vaping status and battery level. The overall body of Juul 2 is almost the same as its predecessor: sleek and discreet.

The usage of the Juul 2 starter kit is easiest. Open the kit and take out the Juul 2 device. This device comes with a 40% pre-charge, you can use it as it is, but I recommend you fully charge it at least once before vaping. Now open the pod pack and place it on the Juul device. That’s it; your latest Juul 2 pod vape is ready to be inhaled. Once the pod finishes, place it with a new one.

- Many experts have shown environmental concerns over Juul pods, as a single-use pod can produce significant waste.
- There are a lot of counterfeit versions of Juul pods in the market that make it difficult to identify the real ones and hence causing additional health risks.

The dimensions of Juul 2 are as follows.

- Juul 2 device: 95 mm × 18 mm × 10 mm
- Juul 2 pod: 35 mm × 18 mm × 7 mm
The overall look of Juul 2 is almost the same as the Juul original but with a whole host of improvements and advanced features. The device itself weighs approximately 20 grams, and the weight of each pod is around 4 grams. The total weight of the whole Juul 2 kit with packaging is about 50 grams. The shape of the vape is rectangular with rounded edges, and the material used for the body is aluminum.
Draw resistance, vapor production, and throat hit.
Juul 2 is specially designed to create more satisfying clouds and rich flavors. The advanced heating element vaporizes the e-juice present in Juul 2 pods, which then produces the clouds that are inhaled by the vape user. An important improvement that I noticed in Juul 2 is that its vapors remain quite consistent with each puff. However, it’s not so good at cloud chasing or delivering a large number of vapors.
The throat hit of each puff gives you a sensation of satisfying warmth and tightness in the throat and feels pretty similar to a traditional smoking hit. It is one of the main features of Juul 2 appeal to those who want to replicate the experience of cigarettes. The strength of the throat hit may vary for each pod flavor. Some flavors deliver a stronger hit than others.
The draw resistance of this updated Juul pod is a bit tight, which means that you may need to puff with some force to inhale clouds. However, old-fashioned vape users may not be offended by it, as it replicates traditional smoking, which also requires the same level of force. But if you are someone used to looser draw vapes, then Juul 2 draw resistance may feel a bit difficult or tight. Juul 2 doesn’t offer any setting to adjust draw resistance, so you will have to adapt to the same one.
Improved Battery performance
Juul 2 comes with an extra 20% battery power to make your vaping sessions more long-lasting and tranquil. Many forks had complained about the battery life of Juul original, which always needed charging. The company has answered all those complaints with this latest upgrade in Juul 2.

Juul 2 pod system comes with a wide range of flavor options specially formulated to deliver rich taste and aroma without bitterness or harshness.

Market Impact
Despite facing a lot of controversies since its first release, Juul has proved its impact on the vape market. The release of Juul 2 has also faced a lot of scrutiny and criticism from public health officials and regulatory authorities. To address these issues, Juul has taken some steps, such as implementing an age limit for device access to prevent young users. Even though the authorities are not so happy with them, Juul 2 still has marked its presence with its latest updates and consistent performance and is going to be a top-selling pod vape device for years.
Final words
