Why we created THREE MAX
The problem: When vapers reduce their nicotine strength, they typically sacrifice throat hit. A 3mg pod from most brands feels thin, unsatisfying and nothing like the experience they're used to. For many, this makes stepping down feel like giving something up rather than gaining control.
Our solution: THREE MAX was engineered specifically to solve this problem. At just 3mg nicotine, it delivers a throat hit that rivals much higher strength vapes. The THREE in THREE MAX refers to the 3mg nicotine strength. The MAX refers to the throat hit — and we mean it.
The science behind THREE MAX
Andrew Logan, JAC's co-founder and e-liquid engineer, developed a proprietary formulation for THREE MAX that delivers a significantly stronger throat hit than standard 3mg pods. We're not going to publish the formula but the result speaks for itself.
THREE MAX also uses a nic salt nicotine base. Nic salts deliver nicotine faster and more smoothly than freebase nicotine at the same strength, which means the 3mg hits quicker and more cleanly. Combined with the proprietary throat hit formulation, THREE MAX at 3mg delivers an experience that most vapers wouldn't associate with a low nicotine pod.
Device pairing: Puff Box operates at a consistent low wattage specifically matched to THREE MAX pods. This consistency is deliberate; as it ensures the formulation performs exactly as intended on every draw.
Efficiency: THREE MAX pods are designed for consistent delivery throughout the life of the pod.
What is THREE MAX?
THREE MAX are JAC's 3mg nic salt prefilled pods for the Puff Box device. Engineered with a proprietary formulation that delivers a strong throat hit at just 3mg nicotine, something virtually no other low nicotine pod achieves.
Why does THREE MAX feel stronger than other 3mg vapes?
Most 3mg pods use standard freebase nicotine with no particular attention to throat hit at low strengths. THREE MAX uses a nic salt base combined with a proprietary formulation developed by JAC to maximise throat hit at 3mg. The result is a low nicotine pod that doesn't feel like one.
What devices are THREE MAX pods compatible with?
THREE MAX pods are exclusively compatible with Puff Box.
How long does a THREE MAX pod last?
Each THREE MAX pod contains 2ml of e-liquid.
Is there a nicotine-free version?
Yes, there is. ZERO MAX is JAC's nicotine-free prefilled pod range for Puff Box, available in various flavours.
Can I mix THREE MAX and ZERO MAX pods?
Yes. Some customers alternate between THREE MAX and ZERO MAX pods in the same Puff Box device as a gradual approach to reducing nicotine dependency over time.
How do I step down from higher nicotine using THREE MAX?
Many vapers find switching to THREE MAX from 20mg more manageable than expected, precisely because the throat hit remains strong.
