The Compliance-First Vaper (wants FDA-authorized only)

Best pick: Glas G2 — mango/blueberry ($24–$30)

Your first legal fruit option. Glas G2 is the only FDA-authorized fruit-flavored vape on the market. Check how to verify PMTA status at point of purchase. Availability limited to licensed retailers in states without flavor bans.

The Convenience Store Shopper (buys whatever is on the shelf)

Best pick: JUUL2 — tobacco/menthol ($20–$25)

If you buy what's available, JUUL2 is the safest authorized option at retail. The Vuse Pro fruit pods you see in stores are not PMTA-authorized — you're not breaking the law by buying them, but Reynolds is taking a regulatory risk that could pull them anytime.

The Licensed Retailer (needs compliance guidance)

Best pick: Stock Glas G2 and JUUL2 with confidence

Use our retailer compliance checklist to verify all inventory. Document PMTA numbers for every SKU. Do not stock Elf Bar, Lost Mary, or other unauthorized disposables — they are subject to FDA market sweeps.

The Concerned Parent (worried about youth access)

Best pick: Check your state's flavor ban status

The ALA shares your concern — 90% of youth vapers use flavors. If you're in CA, MA, NY, NJ, or RI, all flavored vapes (including authorized ones) are restricted at the state level. See our California AB 762 guide for a state-level example.
