Vuse Vibe

The Vuse Vibe is a prefilled tank system from R.J. Reynolds Vapor, and on May 12, 2022 the FDA authorized two Vibe power units with the Vuse Vibe Tank Original at 3.0% nicotine.1 Vuse's FAQ lists no puff count or tank volume for it.2

Vuse Vibe Flavors

The Vuse Vibe flavors on the FDA's authorized list come down to one tank, Original, a tobacco flavor at 3.0%.3

Vuse Vibe Tanks and Nicotine

Vuse Vibe tanks come prefilled and are used once, according to Vuse's FAQ, which lists the Vibe at 3.0% nicotine by weight in nicotine salt form.2 That puts the Vibe between the 1.5% Ciro and the 4.8% Vuse Solo in Vuse's lineup.

Vuse Vibe Charging Light

The Vuse Vibe charging light is an LED near the bottom of the device that flashes red 10 times when the battery needs charging, Vuse says, and the Vibe charges on its own Vuse Vibe charger.2 Like the other Vuse devices, it draws automatically when you inhale.

Why the FDA Authorized Two Vuse Vibe Power Units

The FDA authorized two Vuse Vibe power units, not one, because Reynolds' application described two battery manufacturers.1 Both were cleared on May 12, 2022, along with the Original tank, while other Vibe products in the same review were denied, as the FDA's Vibe and Ciro decision sets out.

The Vuse Vibe is legal to sell under federal rules with the Original tank, the one Vibe flavor on the FDA's authorized list.3

The FDA denied the Vibe Tank Menthol 3.0% on January 24, 2023, finding that the application did not show a benefit to adult smokers over tobacco flavors that outweighed the risk to youth.4 On February 2, 2024 the Fifth Circuit stayed the menthol denials for Vibe, Alto and Solo products, which let Reynolds keep selling them, though a stay does not make them authorized.5

Vuse Vibe vs Vuse Ciro

The Vuse Vibe and the Vuse Ciro were authorized together on May 12, 2022, each with two power units and one Original product, but the Vibe uses a 3.0% tank and the Ciro a 1.5% cartridge.1 Their low-battery lights differ too: the Vibe flashes red and the Ciro flashes white, Vuse's FAQ says.

Vuse Vibe vs Vuse Solo

The Vuse Vibe and the Solo were authorized seven months apart, the Solo on October 12, 2021 and the Vibe on May 12, 2022, and both were authorized in Original only.6 The Solo's 4.8% cartridges are stronger than the Vibe's 3.0% tank, and each shows a low battery differently: the Solo through its SmartLight and the Vibe through an LED near the base, both flashing red.2

Their menthol versions share a history: the FDA denied both in early 2023, and the Fifth Circuit's February 2, 2024 stay covered the Vibe and Solo menthol denials.5
