PUFF

Puff · The entire world of pocket-sized e-cigarettes

Puffs are compact e-cigarettes designed for simple, immediate use: no settings, no maintenance, just inhale and vape. They appeared massively from 2020 onward and have profoundly reshaped the vaping market in France, especially among beginners and on-the-go vapers. Since the ban on strictly disposable puffs by French law on February 27, 2025, the category has evolved toward high-autonomy rechargeable models that combine the ease of use of the original puff with a significantly longer lifespan.

Brands available on AllianceTech

Our selection covers the most recognized brands in the rechargeable puff segment:

• Puff JNR (Just No Reason) · a range of high-autonomy rechargeable pods, from 24,000 to 50,000 puffs. The brand has established itself in just a few years as one of the French references in this segment.
• Puff Al Fakher · historic Emirati brand of hookah tobacco, transposed into rechargeable pods with authentic oriental flavors. The legendary Double Apple as a flagship product.
• Nicotine-free puff · a cross-brand selection of 0 mg models. Ideal for those at the end of their nicotine reduction journey or for flavor enthusiasts.

Choosing your puff based on usage

The right choice depends on three main criteria: expected battery life, desired flavor profile, and nicotine sensitivity.

• Beginner vaper · go for a medium autonomy model like the JNR Joker 24K or the Al Fakher Crown Bar. Compact format, immediate ease of use, low commitment.
• Regular vaper · aim for models with 28K to 33K puffs like the JNR Falcon Gem+ 30K or the Crystal Glow 33K. Good balance between battery life and size.
• Heavy user or traveler · record-breaking autonomy models like the JNR Stellarc 50K (50,000 puffs, 3 e-liquids included) are the best choice to avoid juggling multiple devices.
• Experience enthusiast · the JNR Z Pulse 42K+ with its dual tank for vaping two flavors simultaneously is unique on the market.
• Advanced smoking cessation · gradually switch to the nicotine-free range to complete your transition.

Common features of modern puffs

• Rechargeable USB-C battery · mandatory since the 2025 law, the battery is no longer thrown away before the liquid runs out
• Integrated Mesh coil · better flavor reproduction than traditional coils
• Auto-Draw activation · inhale, it vapes, no buttons
• Nicotine salts 20 mg/ml (or 0 mg for nicotine-free versions) · fast absorption, smooth throat hit, TPD compliant
• Pre-filled e-liquid often with refill bottles provided to reach the stated puff count
• Pocket-sized format · designed for daily mobility

Regulatory context in 2026

The French law of February 27, 2025 banned the sale of strictly disposable puffs (non-rechargeable and non-refillable models). The puffs available today are all rechargeable pods: USB-C rechargeable battery and refillable tank via provided e-liquid bottles. This change significantly reduces the environmental footprint (less electronic waste and discarded batteries) without sacrificing the practicality that made the format successful.
