Our Brand Story

Cyclone Pods is a 100% nicotine-free vape brand founded in 2018 in Santa Monica, California.

We started with one simple goal—giving vapers a better option.

Like a lot of you, we wanted the ritual of vaping without the nicotine addiction. But most brands either pushed nicotine-heavy products or snuck in “low-nic” options.

So, we decided to create what we couldn't find—vapes that are 100% nicotine-free, packed with bold flavors, and free from the usual junk like diacetyl and vitamin E acetate.

Discreet devices, disposables or long-lasting value buys—we have it all!

Meet the Founder

Conrad Kurth, Founder

Conrad founded Cyclone Pods in 2018 after seeing how few real options existed for people who wanted to vape without nicotine. At the time, the market was dominated by nicotine-heavy products, and nobody was taking nicotine-free seriously. He set out to change that.

What started as a single line of nicotine-free vape pods has grown into a full product lineup. Over the years, the team has developed and refined several generations of devices and products, from rechargeable pod systems and disposable vapes to nootropic caffeine pouches and wellness supplements, all built around the same idea: give people a real alternative. And there's more in the works.

Conrad's focus has always been on making products that people actually enjoy using. Flavor, quality, and consistency matter just as much as what's not in the product. That philosophy is what keeps the brand moving forward.
