V2 Cigs – Behind The Brand
While fairly new in the electronic cigarette world, started in 2010, V2 Cigs have certainly made an impact in that short period of time.
The brand has quickly become one of the most popular e cigarettes in the USA with a lot of good reviews flying about over there, this is one of the reasons I decided to buy a kit to see what was going on. Lets have a look.
In The BoxThe presentation box is similar to many other brands with its magnetic flap lid, never the less it was still a quality box and the overall branding on all packaging looked professional. In the box for the Standard Kit you will find2 X Batteries (One Manual & One Automatic)
10 X Cartomisers
USB & Wall AdaptorOverall – Nice start, everything looks and feels quality.
Battery Responsiveness
This is where it starts getting interesting with V2 Cigs, their battery options along with the ability to customise them really give them something different from the other brands I have reviewed. As an example, when you get to the checkout stage you are presented with the choice of either a manual or automatic battery as well as being able to choose a preferred colour.
They also stock 3 different sizes/capacities of battery as well. All sounds complicated but its not once you are at the checkout! I myself ordered the V2 Standard Starter Kit and chose one black manual and one white/ one steel automatic battery. I also received a free disposable as they had a promotion on at the time.
For those that don’t know the difference between manual and automatic batteries, the manual battery has a button on the side that needs pressing to ‘fire up’ the battery, this in turn begins to heat up the e-liquid, all you have to do then is take a drag then release the button. 
The automatic has no button on the side, the battery is activated by a sensor when you take a drag.All quite simple, I actually like the manual battery as i tend to get a slightly better vapour volume first time but if you are starting out I would suggest buying one of each. Both batteries performed well though so no complaints there. When it comes to size the batteries the ones I bought (79mm) are slightly longer than both E-Lites and the Green Smoke short battery.
This wasn’t a problem for me though and if you wanted something smaller they do offer a 67mm battery.The appearance of the batteries are quite plain, they have gone for the cleaner look rather than trying to replicate the look of a cigarette with faux rings. This is no big thing though, they still have a nice quality feel to them with good branding.
V2 also offer a PCC (portable charging case), this is available in the Standard Plus, Travel and Ultimate starter kits. These are highly recommended as they will charge your electronic cigarette battery on the go without the need for a power source. It is essentially a portable battery. The PCC can also be purchased separately but it is on the expensive side with the cases starting at £33.85 depending on the size you go for. Jacvapour sell a similar PCC for £24.99.
Overall – Both battery styles are very responsive with a good quality finish. The only real downside is that the replacement batteries are edging towards the pricey side starting at just short of £15 each.

Vapour/Flavour
When ordering I decided to go for a broad selection of flavours, the fact they sold cola flavoured cartridges pretty much swung it! I had to see what that was like.
All in all I got one pack of Cherry carts, one pack of V2 Red carts and their mixed flavour sampler pack that included the following: Coffee, Cola, Chocolate, Vanilla, Peppermint, Menthol, Cherry and the three tobacco flavours: Sahara, Congress and V2 Red. All of these were a medium 12mg strength.
Starting with the tobacco flavours, the only one I wasn’t too keen on here was the Sahara. Congress and V2 were both very good giving me a nice smooth taste, good subtle throat hit and great vapour volume.
As for the ‘flavours’ I surprisingly liked the cola, was all a bit strange but once I got over the fact I was vaping cola it was ok! My two favourites though were the cherry and menthol both great for something that little bit different.
I suppose the menthol should really be classed alongside the tobacco flavours though. As always, flavours are a personal preference but I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
Another plus point (a very big plus point) is that you can buy ‘blank cartridges’ and bottles of e-liquid. This allows you to refill your own cartridges and can work out a lot cheaper than buying pre-filled cartridges. If you are new to vaping though I would recommend you stick to buying the pr-efilled carts to start while you get used to it.
Pre-filled carts are reasonably priced at £8.97 for a pack of 5 and there are also discounts for buying in larger quantities. As well as the standard blank cartomisers they have also recently released the ‘Luiquimax Blanks’ that is a clear tank system that allows you to see the amount of e-liquid you have left. I will be trying these out in due course!
Overall – As a whole the flavours and vapour volume were very good, stand out flavours for me were Congress, V2 Red, Menthol and Cherry. The option to buy empty cartomisers to use with bottled e-liquid is also a big plus point.
Starter Kits
V2 Economy Kit - £39.97
Includes one battery 10 carts and chargers. I wouldn’t recommend this one purely because it only comes with one battery. Whatever kit you buy you really need 2 batteries.
V2 Standard Kit – £54.97 Recommended kit
This is the kit I bought and reviewed. It has everything you could need to get started! Its basically the same as the economy but you get an extra battery.
V2 Couples Kit – £89.97
Great if you and a friend or partner are looking to try e cigarettes. You will get 2 Standard Kits (they alone cost £50 each) that include everything you need to get going. A great saving of around £20.
V2 Travellers kit – £99
This kit comes with 2 batteries, 15 carts, a notebook e cig, the usual chargers plus a portable charging case. The charging case is a good buy even if you decide to buy separately as this charges your cigs whilst you are on the go.
V2 Ultimate Kit - £124.97
This pretty much covers all bases when it comes to vaping, all the accessories you could ever want and need are in this kit.

V2 Cigs Review – Overall
As you can probably tell if you managed to read through the above, I really do rate the V2 Cigs product not only for the reason that the battery, flavours, vapour production and the ability to change the product to your individual needs are good but also for the entire experience as a whole from ordering to delivery.
They have their customer services spot on as well, there have been a few problems recently with Sky Cigs here in the UK, not because there is anything wrong with the product as such but because the customer service has not been up to scratch. Many customers found it difficult to get hold of them if they had a problem, the reason for this was because of the “email only” customer service, which by the way will be changing soon (update: they now have phone support). Anyway, this review is about V2 Cigs! If you are new to vaping and you have been checking out V2 then you won’t go far wrong this electronic cigarette.

Final V2 Cigs Review
Verdict: V2 Cigs Are Highly Recommended By www.ecigclick.co.uk
Tried to stop smoking and always failed - this stopped me - EASILY!
Love the Congress. I buy Sahara as well, just to have a different flavour. I sort of jump between one and the other.
The big battery size is great. I’ve got the stainless steel ones. They look so much like a pen loads of people have been fooled and tried to write with it!!
They look nice. Quite elegant.
The shipping is very fast. Longest I’ve waited is three days.
The saving on buying ‘the weed’ is incredible!
I love not stinking of tobacco anymore!
I can breathe and smell properly!
I don’t feel like a social lepper anymore!
No mess! No accidental burns in things. No stains on teeth and skin.
I could go on all day! If you smoke, for goodness sake try these and stop for good!
A quick review on the V2 Vapor Couture ecig
I did loads of research and watched loads of YouTube videos before deciding to go for this ecig. I was about to order the V2 starter kit on the V2 UK site when I noticed that they they did a ladies only ecig with bling! Well, a girl can never have too much bling so I ordered the essential kit, which cost £59, didn’t go for the deluxe kit which included the clutch bag. I also order an extra pack of carts because unlike the US essential kit where you get 10 carts, you only get 5 carts with the UK one.
You get 2 batteries, you can choose what colour, a charger with the USB bit and a pack of 5 carts in the colour, flavour and strength of your choice.
Received the kit yesterday and love it, spent most of yesterday vaping and the battery and carts are still going strong, will be putting the kit through its paces when I go out this evening – will be taking the spare battery with me!
It’s a very good quality kit and I’m glad I bought it, it is expensive but you can refill the carts – good old you tube! and I haven’t once thought about smoking a real cigarette. I know it’s still early days but vaping is definately the way to go for me!
Based on a review on this site I had previously bought the Skycig kit, and although there is nothing wrong with it I just wanted something that was different and the Vapor Couture range is certainly that.
Very Impressed
Was recommended these by a mate, I have tried patches, gum, sprays none of em worked. These V2 Cigs are just brilliant, have the Reds 12mg strength also like the Congress but Red is the best for me.Got a pcc so never run out when im out working long shifts. I have been on these for 3 weeks now and have not had 1 fag which is unbelievable. Really so pleased I have found these I wish I found out about them sooner. Just brilliant and will save me a fortune.
First E cigarette i"ve tried.delighted with it
bought the standard kit,good job i did wife using spare battery she was not going to stop smoking but i have to stop because of health reasons.
So easy to use and great taste.I got red in 6 &12mg,menthol in 12mg only used menthol so far.i ordered tuesday afternoon kit arrived thursday morning.
not affected my throat at all and quite happy smoking my v2.
Best Yet By Far
Made a hash of ordering online so emailed customer support and they were very quick to respond with my request to change my order V2 Cigs starter kit arrive a day later, very fast service.
As soon as I started using the V2s I was amazed how good they were, really enjoyable, I have used Green Smoke before but could not get on with the taste, they just did not do it for me, but with the V2s I knew I was going to be ok straight away.
The quality is very good and as others have said the batteries last, and that makes a big difference, also got the PCC with my kit which looks cool and is very handy when out for a long period of time as you have always got a supply.
Good you can order bulk items, liquids etc.. at very reasonable prices, works out around £1 a pack, so good on the pocket and for my health.
I have not got two friend onto V2s and they have also managed to stop the real macoy.
I can completely recommend V2 Cigs as I have not touched the weed in nearly three months and I now don’t vape that much either, I would not hesitate go for it, I’m so glad I did.
Totally great e-ciggs beat i have tried
What can I say other than I have been using V2 Cigs for the past 4 months and have not smoked a single fag, I love some of the flavours, the peppermint is a fav, I was a menthol smoker. The batteries last ages and the really give a satisfying draw. Great you can save money by getting the liquid refill and in loads of flavours oh and tons of accessories. I am over the moon with these as you can tell and I have tried other well know brands and after a week or two gone back the the smokes, well not with these, not had a craving once!!!
Worth it ...!
I work in a school, so I planned to give up smoking over the summer hols. I’d ordered from V2, after reading this site thoroughly. My first choice had been JacVapour, but when I came to order they didn’t have several items in stock, which didn’t impress me much.
I gave my new V2 goodies a go a few days before the end of term – just ‘to see’ like! And that was it. I didn’t finish the packets of cigarettes tucked in the cupboard. Throughout the highly stressful last few days of term, I vaped. Without a backwards glance at the old cigs. It’s now been four and a half months, and I’ve not been tempted even once.
V2 have been exemplary in their service. Once or twice there have been problems (something not sent, by mistake, and a slightly faulty case when I ordered for my partner) but each time they have been completely undefensive, sent replacements rapidly, and were so polite, apologetic and friendly.
I’ve tried out their many flavours, come up with my favourites, had a go at refilling cartridges with the fluid, tried manual and automatic batteries – there’s so much choice to customise the new habit to suit yourself.
My partner was mightily impressed with my ‘willpower’, but there was none – it was extremely easy to move to a cleaner, safer, healthier way of indulging in my nicotine habit. Anyway, he switched too – a 32 year-old smoking habit knocked on the head almost overnight again.
The products have been put through all sorts of physical and emotional tests, and have shone throughout. I heartily recommend them.
Love the Congress Liquid !
Tried V2cigs three months ago after poor experience with two other brands (not naming them – DYOR)..
Great vapour and loads……. of flavours to choose from.
I get great service from their UK desk. Sent me replacement batteries with no questions asked and I also got a free pack of cartridges for my inconvenience.
Recommend you try the Congress liquid., its really smooth.
Red 18mg if you want a big hit.
Great choice, good quality.
I was originally smoking the VIP but wasn’t impressed by the choice of flavours or the life of the battery. The length of the cartomizers was nowhere near the ’40′ cigarettes as advertised.
After reading reviews I opted for the V2 standard starter kit and 10 flavour cartomizer pack to try all the flavours – especially enjoy Congress, Peppermint and Coffee….
After very speedy delivery, as soon as I opened the box I knew I’d made the right decision. Quality build and very satisfying smooth vape. Loads of different strengths available too and even blanks to try the Platinum Eliquid.
If you’re looking for a quality e-cig with great range of flavours and very well priced cartomizers – look no further. HIGHLY recommended.
Great Flavours, Great Vapour
I originally didn’t intend to give up smoking ( lol OH has been trying for years to get me to quit, but I enjoyed smoking and I had tried half heartedly to quit previously and failed )
but I was given a free sample of a disposable Zebra ecig and found it was miles better than the patches or gum I had tried, so I bought a zebra starter pack and I also bought a skycig starter pack at the same time as it was on a
promotional offer and thought I would try both and stick with the best one, they are both good but…
Zebra – Striking looks , battery lasts well and cheap cartomizers, tastes ok but not great ( tried usa tobacco flavour) and lacks choice in flavours ( this is from the person who was adamant they would just stick to tobacco flavour lol) also cartomizer quality is a bit hit and miss, most times they last well but sometimes you have to suck really hard to get any vapour and other times the cartomizer gets very hot and is used up in no time at all.
Skycig – Love the flavours, cartomizers are great in a vast choice of flavours but they are the most expensive of the 4 or 5 brands I looked into before purchasing an ecig, and even though I was previously a 20 a day smoker and they advertise each cartridge lasts on average 20 cigs in my experience they don’t last anywhere near this amount, also the batteries ( after having to replace one of the original 2 received because it arrived faulty) only last for a couple of hours before needing recharging.
now finally onto my V2 review – I had managed to stop smoking whilst using the zebra and skycig but didn’t want to continue with the zebra because I prefered the taste of a real cig, and every time I went out with just the skycig I worried about being left without a charged battery ( it has its own PCC but this will only recharge your batteries about 4 times before running out and it seemed I was recharging batteries almost constantly and had been left without a charged batter on a few occasions) it was also costing me more than I expected so I looked around for another ecig to try and after reading reviews decided on the v2.
The V2 will be my final purchase of ecigs because I no longer have to try any more, this brand covers everything I want or need from an ecig,
the flavours are brilliant ( so far I have tried Red, Congress, Cola, Vanilla – remember me saying I only wanted ones that tasted like tobacco lol)
I have liked them all but congress is still my favourite, the cartomizers work out at £1 each if bought in bulk and last for the longest time of all 3 brands tried, the batteries are also long lasting and I can go out for the day with my PCC and 2 batteries confident that I will be able to use all day, and even though I didn’t try to give up smoking ( I just wanted to try ecigs to see what they tasted like and see if they were any better than the nicotine replacements I had previously used) I no longer think about reaching for a cigarette and am now a happy non smoking V2 vaper
I knew someone somewhere had got it right - I had tried 4 diiferent UK ecigs ..very disapointed - then I tried V2 -its something else!!
Smoked upto 25 a day – tried 4 different better known UK ecigs – all had problems – either leakeage of cartomizors, low vapour production, short battery life, or vapour would reduce after a few puffs or a combination of all of these. This meant that I always needed to carry a pack of cigs and smoke when things went wrong. I then read just about every review I could find and V2 seemed to top most or be in the top 2 or 3.
Bought a kit from USA and never looked back.(expensive P&P from USA) More recently I bought a new PCC with the money I saved from not smoking from their new UK outlet and I now have a kit thats reliable anywhere.
They now sell in the UK and I found the support people at BuyV2 very helpful.
I will spoil myself with their new vapour couture kit – look very slim and elegant.
They couldnt give me a sample
i ordered the standard kit with one manual and one automatic battery. For me the automatic battery was better because i had a stronger hit in the throat. i got 2 flavours with it, vanilla and v2 red. V2 red is kind of strange flavour so i wasnt very pleased with. i thought to give it another chance and emailed their customer service to ask if i can return the manual battery and get an automatic one instead and also to give me one cartridge, a sample of the Congress before placing my next order.
They replied to me ok for the battery but for the cartridge they said they didnt have and advised me to get the sample kit.
i replied to them back that i just wanted the congress flavour, the sample kit has 10 flavours and costs 15,89 pounds so it would be a waste of money as i didnt want to try the rest of the flavours plus there is a chance i didnt like the congress either.
They rejected my request one more time so i told them i would return the whole kit as this is not helpful at all.
For me this is unacceptable, so well known company to be unable to provide to customers not even ONE cartridge. This certainly means they simply dont care so i am thinking to return the kit.
There are so many companies out there you can choose. My friends have the Green Smoke kit and they are very happy with it and with their customer services. I will definatelly go there.
Good vapour, smell of smoke, best taste so far
E- liquid contents published, batches of liquid traceable, flavours more realistic than others, Saraha tastes the best. Discount for bulk buys on cartomisers about £1.00 each. Two UK suppliers. Can use batteries and cartomisers from other companies although batteries are 4.2 volts so other only supply at 3.7 volts so vapour is a bit less on the alternative batteries. Standard battery will last about 4 hours and recharge in 1.5 hours using their PCC which for me is about 50% longer that other batteries. Kit quality good buy with two batteries. Believe that due to higher voltage most cartomiser will suffer burning but vapour and taste is worth it. Heck at a £1.00 a cartomiser is it worth bothering about?
I bought a standard kit and flavour sampler in Australia. Fast express postage from local seller
V2Cigs is the first esmoke that i tried, pretty happy about it so far.
only con is it doesnt taste like cigarette makes me feel like smoking a couple when im out with my friends.
but you can smoke indoors! it is a bit of pain in the ass when you have to go outside to smoke in winter.
does not hurt my throat as much as normal smoke did.
but the sweetness in vapor makes me feel sick sometimes
Cannot compare it to anything else but I really like it!
I ordered the couples kit for me and my husband, we have both smoked for the last 10 years. Its been 3 weeks now since we received the V2 Cigs kit and neither of us have had a real cigarette in that time!
We went for both the manual and automatic batteries, both are good, I really like my stainless steel one, very classy
The flavours are good as well, my favourites are the cherry and V2 red, my husband likes both of them but thinks he is going to stick with congress which is another tobacco flavour.
For anyone on the fence about trying electronic cigarettes don’t wait any longer! It feels great to be off the cigs!
