Quick summary: Great features, the thickest vapor, some of the best feel and taste around – and lots of great deals. That’s why V2 Cigs get our highest e-cigarette rating.

V2 Cigs is an electronic cigarette company that has gone about things the right away. They had their e-cigarettes designed by ex-smokers, in order to best replicate the “punch” of inhaling a real cigarette. They also boast that they have the “thickest” vapor on the market, and we believe that to be part of the reason that smoking a V2 is among the closest experiences to smoking a tobacco cigarette possible – a key factor in our e-cigarette reviews.

V2 e-cigs utilize the two-part design, and to us, that’s a plus. We always prefer the simplicity of only two components, rather than the complex and somewhat messy methods employed by 3-part designs. On first glance, V2 has some really interesting model designs. From chrome, to fully sleek blue, to red-filter/white battery and red-filter/black battery. That variety is quite unlike other brands which boast only one “signature look” for their products. In our opinion, their chrome design brings is a fresh taste of originality to e-cigarettes; although it doesn’t resemble a traditional cigarette whatsoever,  and comes closer to looking like a device you would see in a James Bond movie, it’s stylish, almost futuristic looking, and we approve. V2 definitely isn’t the only company to have an all-blue design, but we like it. The red filter? Not so much, however that doesn’t take away from the other practical features of this e-cig.

V2′s “thickest vapor in the business” is one of the major reasons we’ve given them our highest rating; it’s an important element to smokers, of course, even though the vapor itself is smoke free with no tar, no ash, and no odors – just nicotine, water vapor and flavor. It really does feel like smoking, and when you exhale it looks like smoking, but your body will appreciate the difference. There are four strengths, from 18 mg of nicotine (full flavor), down through light, ultra-light and zero-nicotine; that either lets you choose the strength of your e-cigarette on a regular basis, or lets you taper down gradually if that’s your choice. One other note: V2 doesn’t “shut off” like some other e-cigs do, when your inhale goes longer than five seconds; we’re not sure if the issue is one of safety, but we do know that if you want a power hit, V2 lets you take it.

V2 products also come in a lot of flavors. In fact, it’s one of the biggest varieties on the market with ten different flavors: three tobacco blends including Red and Turkish, Menthol and Peppermint, Coffee and Chocolate, Vanilla, Cola and Cherry.  And they’ve just recently boosted their battery power to 4.2 volts, the highest level on the market, to hold charges longer. Each V2 cartridge is equal to about one pack of cigarettes; that’s a little on the low site compared to other brands, but we think the flavor and feel of the V2 vapor is worth the tradeoff.

They also have lots of marketing people on the case, with a seemingly endless number of specials and deals, in addition to the huge choices of looks, flavors and strengths. They also have a number of specialty products for e-cig aficianados who  prefer to buy the e-liquid and refill their cartridges, such as ‘drip tips’ in either aluminum or rubber, making the process a snap; flavor samplers to let you decide which you like best; custom-made cartridges allowing you to choose all the specs – the list goes on.

Great features, the thickest vapor, some of the best feel and taste around – and lots of great deals. That’s why V2 Cigs get our highest e-cigarette rating.
