JUUL vs JUUL 2 vs MYLE vs SPRK: Prefilled Pod Vapes in Dubai Compared
Prefilled pod vapes are the simplest kind of refillable vape: a small rechargeable device plus sealed pods that already contain e-liquid. There is nothing to fill and no coil to change; when a pod is empty, you click in a new one. At Vape Marina we stock four prefilled systems: JUUL, JUUL 2, MYLE V5 Meta and SPRK Vapor. They look similar, but their pods do not fit each other, and the cost per ml of e-liquid varies by more than three times. This guide compares them with our current prices.
Quick answer
- Lowest cost per ml: MYLE V5 Meta Pods, at about AED 8.75 per ml (SPRK's pack size isn't listed, so it isn't included).
- Most flavours: MYLE V5 Meta (14), then JUUL 2 (13) and SPRK (12).
- Lowest nicotine: JUUL 2 Pods at 18mg (1.8%). The other three are 5% (50mg).
- Simplest flavour choice: original JUUL Pods, in Virginia Tobacco or Menthol only.
- Cheapest device: MYLE V5 Meta and SPRK Vapor, both AED 63.
The four systems compared
| Pods | Nicotine | E-liquid per pack | Flavours | Price per pack | Cost per ml | Device |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| JUUL Pods | 5% (50mg) | 4 × 0.7ml | 2 | AED 79 | AED 28.21 | AED 87 |
| JUUL 2 Pods | 18mg (1.8%) | 2 × 1.2ml | 13 | AED 52 | AED 21.67 | AED 90 |
| MYLE V5 Meta Pods | 5% (50mg) | 2 × 2ml | 14 | AED 35 | AED 8.75 | AED 63 |
| SPRK Vapor Pods | 5% (50mg) | 0.9ml per pod | 12 | AED 34 | n/a | AED 63 |
Cost per ml is the single-pack price divided by the e-liquid in the pack. Our SPRK page does not list how many pods are in a pack, so we have not worked out a per-ml figure for SPRK.
Pods only fit their own device
This is the most common mistake: each pod type fits only its own device. Original JUUL pods do not fit the JUUL 2, and JUUL 2 pods do not fit the original JUUL. MYLE V5 Meta pods are made for the MYLE V5 Meta, and SPRK pods for the SPRK Vapor device. Check which device you have before you order pods:
- JUUL device (AED 87) → JUUL Pods
- JUUL 2 starter kit (AED 90) → JUUL 2 Pods
- MYLE V5 Meta device (AED 63) → MYLE V5 Meta Pods
- SPRK Vapor device (AED 63) → SPRK Vapor Pods
What you pay for e-liquid
The biggest difference between the systems is how much e-liquid you get for your money:
- JUUL: 4 pods × 0.7ml = 2.8ml for AED 79, about AED 28.21 per ml.
- JUUL 2: 2 pods × 1.2ml = 2.4ml for AED 52, about AED 21.67 per ml. Each pod holds more than an original JUUL pod, but at a lower strength (18mg).
- MYLE V5 Meta: 2 pods × 2ml = 4ml for AED 35, about AED 8.75 per ml, or AED 8.5 per ml in a box of 5 packs (AED 170).
So original JUUL e-liquid costs about 3.2 times as much per ml as MYLE. For comparison, a 30ml bottle of salt nic for a refillable pod kit costs AED 33 at the middle price, about AED 1.1 per ml, so even MYLE pods cost around 8 times as much per ml as bottled e-liquid. That is the price of convenience: sealed pods with a fresh coil every time. If you vape a lot and don’t mind refilling, compare our salt nic e-liquids and refillable pod kits.
Bulk deals
All four have bulk offers that lower the price per pack:
- JUUL: 22 packs + 2 free (24 packs) for AED 1,728, about AED 72 a pack.
- JUUL 2: 22 packs + 2 free (24 packs) for AED 1,128, about AED 47 a pack.
- MYLE V5 Meta: 20 packs plus a free MYLE V5 Meta device for AED 650.

The device-included offers are worth it if you are starting out: you get the device free with a supply of pods.
Which one should you choose?
- You want the lowest running cost: MYLE V5 Meta. It has the most e-liquid per pod (2ml) and the lowest price per ml of the three systems we can compare.
- You want a lighter nicotine hit: JUUL 2, at 18mg. See our JUUL 2 guide.
- You only vape tobacco or menthol: the original JUUL, with Virginia Tobacco and Menthol.
- You want coffee or tobacco flavours as well as fruit: SPRK Vapor, with Iced Coffee, Sweet Tobacco and Cubano among its 12 flavours.
- You already own a device: buy the pods made for it. They are not interchangeable.

Prefilled pods vs disposables
A disposable is a device and e-liquid in one, thrown away when empty. A prefilled pod system keeps the rechargeable device and replaces only the pod, so there is less waste and the device can last a long time. Disposables offer far more flavours and much larger e-liquid capacities, while prefilled pods are smaller and more discreet. If you are choosing between them, see our puff count guide and disposable vapes.
