JUUL Menthol Pods (5% Nicotine)
JUUL Menthol is the cool mint flavored JUULpod at 5 percent nicotine, authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on July 17, 2025 through the Premarket Tobacco Product Application pathway. That authorization made JUUL Menthol one of the first menthol-flavored electronic nicotine delivery systems ever cleared for US sale. Smokenza stocks the complete menthol lineup in three configurations: single 4-pack for first-time buyers, Box of 8 four-packs for regular users, and the Starter Bundle that pairs the pods with an original JUUL device. Every SKU on this page is the current FDA-authorized 5 percent formulation.

JUUL Menthol Flavor Profile
JUUL Menthol opens with a clean cool mint on the inhale, carries a light natural sweetness through the draw, and finishes with a crisp menthol exhale. The flavor sits closer to classic menthol combustible cigarettes than to candy or dessert mint profiles, which is why most adult menthol smokers find it the easiest JUUL flavor to transition to. Pod capacity is 0.7 mL of nicotine salt e-liquid at approximately 59 mg/mL, delivered through the original JUUL device's magnetic pod connection.
JUUL Menthol Pack Sizes and Pricing
The single 4-pack is the entry price point at $5.00 per pod. The Box of 8 drops per-pod cost to $4.69 and covers approximately one month of daily use. The Starter Bundle adds the JUUL device to the Box of 8 for $15 more.

| Box of 8 four-packs | 32 | $149.99 | $4.69 | Regular daily user |

JUUL Menthol and FDA Authorization
On July 17, 2025 the FDA granted marketing orders to JUUL Menthol pods in both 3 percent and 5 percent nicotine. That decision carried extra weight because the agency had denied menthol e-cigarette applications from several other major manufacturers in prior years. The FDA review found evidence that adult menthol smokers who switched to JUUL Menthol pods achieved meaningful cigarette cessation rates. FDA marketing authorization is distinct from drug approval and confirms that the agency has determined the products are appropriate for the protection of public health under the Tobacco Control Act. Smokenza stocks the 5 percent SKUs, the strength that most closely matches the nicotine delivery of a traditional menthol cigarette.
Is JUUL Menthol the Same as JUUL Mint or Cool Mint?
No. JUUL Mint and JUUL Cool Mint were separate flavors that JUUL Labs sold in the US until November 2019, when Mint was discontinued under regulatory pressure focused on youth vaping. Cool Mint had been phased out earlier. Neither flavor received FDA marketing authorization, so neither is sold legally in the United States today. JUUL Menthol is the current and only authorized menthol-family JUULpod, sold at 3 percent and 5 percent nicotine. If you were searching for Mint or Cool Mint pods, JUUL Menthol at 5 percent is the current replacement available on Smokenza.
JUUL Menthol vs JUUL Virginia Tobacco
The two FDA-authorized JUUL flavors cover opposite ends of the taste spectrum. Menthol leads with cool mint and crisp exhale, suited to adult smokers coming from menthol combustibles. Virginia Tobacco leads with classic cured tobacco and a toasted finish, suited to adult smokers coming from classic tobacco cigarettes. Both run at 5 percent nicotine and share the same pod capacity, device compatibility, and FDA authorization date. See the Virginia Tobacco range at JUUL Virginia Tobacco.
