JUUL is a mega-force in the vaping world. But it is NOT available in the UK. So what’s the Best JUUL Alternative For UK right now?
JUUL is HUGE.
Everybody knows about JUUL, thanks to the company receiving massive financial investment during 2017/18 and plenty of favorable reviews for the product and the company’s JUUL pods.
JUUL is now officially available in the UK too. And there is A LOT of hype about it – as you’d expect.
But JUUL isn’t ACTUALLY the best device in its class either.
Why not?
Well, for one, it’s pods are not (technically) refillable.
And this makes them expensive to run.
I always advise readers to go for open pod systems.
This way, you can use your own Nic Salts E Juice (and save a fortune in the process).
The Three Best JUUL Alternatives Right Now
I have three, solid pod mod vapes that I use over and over again. They’re all great in my opinion and VASTLY superior to the JUUL.
I also recently tested SMOK’s latest pod mods and, well… they kind of underwhelmed me.
As of right now, my picks for the best JUUL alternatives are as follows:
#1 – SMOANT S8 Pod
The SMOANT S8 Pod was one of the first pod mod devices I ever tested, back when it was in the prototype phase.
It was good then, but when the full version landed it was EVEN better.
My Beloved SMOANT S8 Pod Mod
This device is my go-to pod mod. I take it everywhere with me simply because it delivers awesome flavor and has a great battery life.
I also LOVE the way it looks.
#2 – Suorin Drop
The Suorin Drop is another excellent example of a pod mod done well. It has a decent sized battery, vapes great, and is super-stylish.
It’s also VERY small, so it won’t take up any room in your pocket.
I really like this device, and if you’re after one of the best in the biz, the Drop is kinda hard to beat.
#3 – SV Mi-Pod Ultra
The SV Mi-Pod Ultra is kinda pricey compared to the SMOANT and the Suorin. And this is largely down to its fancy design, which is very busy.
It is a VERY capable device though. So if you can stomach the extra $$$, and you want something that looks truly unique, as well as vapes great, this is one of the most solid options around right now.Is The
Is The JUUL Hype Legit?
My JUUL
To be 100% frank, I’d say, no – it’s not like it’s the second coming of Christ or anything.
It’s just a super-simple, easy to use vape. And that makes it great for smokers looking to quit smoking.
However, there are MANY other options that are just as simple and, in most cases, actually better than JUUL.
JUUL Battery Life SUCKS
This is the biggest downer of the JUUL in my opinion; the battery just ain’t good enough.
You’re looking at four-to-five hours MAX with the JUUL, and this is because it has a teeny tiny battery.
The Mi-Pod, however, as a decent sized cell and it performs A LOT better in this regard.
It’s also better with flavor too, as you can use your own E Juice – and not expensive JUULpods.
Why I ALWAYS Recommend Refillable Pod Mod Vape Systems
To reiterate the point I made at the beginning of this piece: you’ll basically save money.
JUUL-like systems are more expensive to run.
This is just a fact.
It is also why JUUL favors this system – more money equals more profits.
JUULpods are smaller and cost more.
And this kinda sucks.
Nic Salt E Juice is now widely available in the UK too, and it’s nice to have a choice.
Bottomline: using a refillable pod mod system means you can use whatever vape juice you like and save money in the process.
For me, it’s a no-brainer.

And if you want my advice for a solid pod mod vape, that’s BETTER than the JUUL, I’d 100% go with the Mi-Pod.
It’s the best system I’ve tested to date (and I’ve got about 30 in my office right now!)
