Overview

JUUL Labs creates and sells vaping devices and nicotine-containing pods aimed at adult smokers who want an alternative to traditional cigarettes. Its main product, the JUUL Device, is a regulated-temperature vaporizer that heats JUULpods to produce nicotine vapor; pods come in two nicotine strengths and various flavors. The company primarily sells online through JUUL.com, with additional availability in electronic cigarette shops and vape stores, and offers a JUUL Pass membership along with a referral program to encourage trials and savings. The company also provides free shipping on orders over $50. Compared with competitors, JUUL emphasizes a regulated vaping experience, a direct-to-consumer online channel (plus select retail presence), and incentive programs to grow its customer base. Its stated goal is to provide a healthier alternative to traditional cigarettes and help adult smokers quit or reduce tobacco use.
