Bo Plus vs Juul – Pod Vape Showdown

As the years have gone by, the Juul has always stayed true to its winning formula. It is after all one of the best selling devices on the market to date, so why bother fixing something that isn’t broken. It’s slim and simplistic aluminum alloy chassis make it a great stealth vape, perfect for the everyday vaper who would rather vape with discretion.

The rock solid construction of the Juul has always been one of its strengths and is one of the reasons newcomers flock to it when they’re on the lookout for an ultra-compact device.

But the Bo Plus is no laggard. Being a relative newcomer in the industry, it knows what it’s up against and does its best to better the Juul. Featuring a rigid body constructed out of a combination of aluminum alloy and plastic, the device feels wonderfully solid when held in hand and gives you a strong impression that it can definitely withstand the test of time.

The design of the Juul hasn’t evolved much, especially where the pod system is concerned. While it uses pods that can be technically considered plug and play, the pods definitely take a bit of force when it comes to installation or removal. The Bo+, on the other hand, uses a fully magnetic assembly to attach its pods, making swapping out pods a quick, easy, and seamless experience.

The Bo+ also gets plus points thanks to its slightly protruding mouthpiece which is a bit narrower than what the Juul uses. The slightly contoured and narrower shape keeps things comfortable for your lips when vaping for extended vaping

But the tour de force of the Bo+ comes in the form of its non-proprietary USB type C port for charging the device. Whereas the Juul uses a magnetic proprietary charger that needs to be repurchased from Juul themselves once lost or broken, the Bo+ can be charged with any USB type C cable you happen to have on hand just in case you lose the one that comes with the kit.

Another strong point when it comes to choosing the Bo+ over the Juul is its significantly wider variety of available flavors to choose from. With both devices being closed pod systems, it’s important that the manufacturer not fall behind in their flavor offerings.

While the Juul is definitely no slouch in this regard, the Bo+ simply has it beat with its wide selection of flavors to choose from a variety of well establishes e-liquid brands like e-juice. If you are someone who also uses 510 oil cartridges and other vapers have reported Linx Hermes 3 is a good place to start.

There is a significant difference though between the two devices when it comes to strength options. The Juul pods come mostly in 50mg/ml options with a limited selection of 35mg/ml. The Bo Plus, on the other hand, offers all their pods in 20mg/ml and 40mg/ml salt solutions.

That doesn’t mean that the Bo+ doesn’t hit as strong as the Juul but gives you more options, allowing you to taper off your strengths. Both offer a satisfying and impactful vaping experience with every puff, although the flavor production of the Bo+ is a tad stronger when matched up against the slightly muted flavors we’ve been getting from the Juul.

While neither of these two devices gives you the ability to select your vaping output at the touch of a button, the Bo+ does tend to offer a stronger vapor compared to the Juul and is one of the reasons both devices have the same draw despite the large difference in their pods’ nicotine content.

But if you’re looking for a device that offers variety and flexibility in use, you might be looking at the wrong size class because as of this date, no device as compact as the Juul or Bo+ can claim to have these features as well.
