V2 Electronic Cigarettes (V2 Cigs in the UK) was one of the biggest names early in the vaping industry.
This premium brand has been around for a while and has developed an extensive product line, ranging from disposable e-cigs to high-end vaporisers.
Interestingly, this is one of the few brands that keeps improving and upgrading its products.
It was V2 in the USA, (products sold by V2 Cigs in the UK and Vapour2 in Europe), who introduced the ‘power cigarette’, a battery-free e-cig that you simply plug into a PC USB port or USB car adapter.
In short, these guys are very much at the cutting edge of vaping technology.
So whether you are a first time vaper looking for a ‘cig-a-like’ or an advanced vaper in search of a high-end vaporiser, the V2 e-cig UK range won’t disappoint for choice or quality.
Let’s start our V2 Cigs review by taking a closer look at the most popular e cig starter kits from the V2 Cigs UK.

My Experience
I am sure, that you are keen to know V2 Cigs UK price. Well, at the moment V2 Cigs offers eight starter kits starting out at £22.99, with the mid-range Classic Standard Plus Starter Kit currently selling for £69.95 and the most expensive – the Ultimate Starter Kit – priced at £134.99.
My review will focus on the V2 Standard Plus Starter Kit, which is designed to meet all users’ basic requirements, but has the excellent ‘Plus’ of new Portable Charging Case.
Ultimate Kit
What’s in the Standard Kit?
At £69.95 it includes…
- 2 x 5 flavour cartridges of your choice (equivalent to 8-10 packs of cigarettes)
- 1x automatic battery
- 1x manual battery
- 1x USB smart charger
- 1x wall adapter
- 1x portable charging case
- User Manual
Design
Open the white and blue top V2 Standard Starter Kit box and you will find two boxes of flavour cartridges and the batteries.
There’s also a USB Smart Charger and mains adapter. One important perk of choosing a starter kit from V2 is that there is such a wide range to choose from and you have the option to customise what’s in the box according to your own individual needs.
V2 e-cig sizes vary depending on your choices and the type of kit you select, and the refill colours also depend on the chosen flavour. Users can also customise their kit with respect to the battery.
They can choose from three battery sizes (short, medium and long), the 67mm 150mAh Shorty battery, the 79mm 250mAh Standard battery and the 100mm 380mAh Long battery.
Better still, the batteries come in a choice of five colours: Traditional White, Sleek Black, Striking Blue, Pink or the more modern Stainless Steel.
Overall, I really like this kit. You can see and feel that it’s premium quality. As they say, you get what you pay for, right?
And although – if you compare the actual content of the V2 Classic Standard Plus Kit to other e-cig kits within the same price bracket – it offers nothing extraordinary, V2 is still my favourite simply because of the quality of the components.

Assembly
It’s simply a matter of removing the seal on one of the cartridges and screwing it onto a charged battery. Job done.
Once assembled, the V2 electronic cigarette is around 100mm – 140mm long (depending, of course, on which battery you choose). Not surprisingly, a longer battery gives you more vaping between charges.
Vapour & Flavour
For this review, I chose the V2 Red and Mint Tea flavours at 12mg medium nicotine strength.
Currently, they offer 12 flavours for you to choose from: Cherry, Chocolate, Coffee, Congress (tobacco flavour), Peppermint, Menthol, Mint Tea, Peppermint, Sahara (tobacco flavour), Vanilla, and V2 Red (tobacco flavour).
Each flavour cartridge is available at 5 nicotine strengths: 24mg max. strength, 18mg full strength, 12mg medium strength, 6mg light strength, and zero strength.
There does appear to be a difference between vaping with the automatic battery and the manual battery.
When using the manual battery (which requires you to click a button on the battery as you inhale) the vapour is thicker than when using the automatic and, I think, just the right amount. But it’s very much a matter of personal preference.
I liked the flavours too. V2 Red delivers a rich but smooth tobacco-tasting hit, but I am particularly fond of the mint tea flavour, which isn’t surprising, since I simply love tea.

Battery life
Given the choice of batteries on offer, battery life is certainly not a problem with this kit.
If asked to choose between the two battery types, manual or automatic, I would favour the former.
Not only does it produce more – and thicker – vapour, but it also seems to stay charged for longer.
I found that it takes about three hours to completely recharge the battery, which then delivers several hours of moderate vaping.
Obviously, battery life depends on usage and all batteries will eventually wear out.
However, when that does happen, it’s easy to buy a replacement battery – long, medium or short – direct from the website.
The inclusion of the Portable Charging Case within V2’s Standard Plus Starter Kit is really good news and makes life so much easier! No matter where you are, you can always charge your batteries.
In fact, it will charge one battery four times on the move before it has to be recharged from the mains itself.

Warranty
All V2 Cigs vaping products – except consumables such as e-liquid and disposable e-cigs – come with a comprehensive warranty.
It’s also worth noting that only customers who buy V2 Cigs direct from them are covered by the warranty.
Those who buy via a retailer will have to complete any claim with and through that retailer.
The warranty will also be forfeited if the products have been modified, misused or repaired.
Conclusion
This V2 Cigs Review is almost finished, so here’s what I think:
There’s no denying that V2 Cigs is a force to reckon with in the e-cig industry.
Their wide range of products and options for each product or kit certainly makes V2 a very attractive choice, especially for users who value quality and customisation, and also want to have more options when it comes to their vaping experience.
Which is why I would definitely recommend V2 Cigs e-cigarette to every beginner or intermediate vaper out there.
Advanced vapers and heavier smokers may also want to look at the V2 Pro Series range of advanced vaporizers.
And yes, there are cheaper alternatives available, but sometimes it’s better to spend a few extra pounds and get a premium product. Don’t you agree?
Final V2 Cigs Review Verdict: V2 Electronic Cigarette is Highly Recommended by E-cigreviews.org.uk!
I have the Vapour 2 EX and I’m happy with my choice. I have tried few of the other e-cigs before finding this one but nothing suited me more. What I like about it is the fact that it’s nice and small (almost like a cigarette), also flavour of cartridges that Vapour 2 makes are generally good, chocolate is the best one because it really does taste like chocolate.
I have EX Series Beginner’s Kit – the best choice. Battery life surprised me. I like the small size of charger – I can have it in my wallet and charge in car, in office etc. Also, the tastes are better. My favorites are red tobacco and menthol. I would recommend this kit to anyone who would like to try better way of smoking.
I got series series7 from my family for my birthday last year as option for me to quit smoking:-) I have been strong smoker since 17 and honestly never really thought of quitting. But somehow my family wanted me to, so was thinking why not to try. I like that vaporizer but did not believe it to help much. It is build good and with simplicity. Easy fits into your hand, so it does not look so giant. It produces good vapor(well at least for beginner like me it is enough). There are also some nice modern technic used like magnetic charging….i have not seen it before but it is kind of cool. Battery lasts long and charges fast. It has been few weeks already i am just with Vapour2 and i am so happy.
