V2 Cigs is the most popular electronic cigarette brand in the United States according to them. They used Alexa statistics to come to that conclusion and I could certainly understand why they would be the best e-cigarette company in the United States. Our team tested the V2 Cigs products rigorously and the whole team was impressed with the starter kits, cartridges, and even the accessories.
V2 has five main starter kits with the Economy Kit being the entry level kit for $59.95. Our readers are able to save 20% with V2 Cigs through an exclusive coupon code offered only at ECR.net which brings the price down to $47.96, Click to View . The Ultimate Kit is the top of the line starter kit from V2 and sells for $189.95 and includes everything you could want or need with your electronic cigarette. Again, our readers can save 20% on this kit as well which means it only costs ECR.net readers $151.96, Click to View . I own the Ultimate Kit myself because I am on the go quite a bit and it comes with 3 batteries, a portable charging case, car charger, and power-cig so I won’t be without nicotine when I need it. They also offer the V2 Notebook-Cig that doesn’t require charging but instead plugs into a USB port for $24.95 and our readers can use the 20% discount code to get it for $21.21 Click to View .
V2 offers three different color batteries with their starter kits which I like because I prefer the black batteries myself but sometimes I switch it up based on the color cartridge I am using. All of the batteries are now 4.2 volts which means you get a lot more vapor than before. When I first tried their e-cig, it didn’t have the 4.2 volts like it does now and it makes a huge difference!
White Cloud Cartridges were my favorite cartridges when I first switched to electronic cigarettes because of the Smooth Draw Technology built in combined with the 24MG nicotine level created a strong and consistent throat hit for those days when you really want a cigarette. While the V2 Cigs cartridges don’t possess the Smooth Draw Technology, they are maintenance free, provide a large amount of vapor, and the throat hit is solid which has resulted in me not having any days where I crave a cigarette anymore. They also have committed to adding new flavors regularly throughout the year. You can read more about the cartridges through our V2 Cigs Cartridges Review.
I had been using The Safe Cig starter kit since November 27th of last year; however on July 9th I began using V2’s starter kit and fully switched over to V2 Cigs on July 11th, 2011. James also made a switch in June and he now uses The Safe Cig. The Safe Cig makes a great product as well but they don’t offer as many options as the V2 Cigs product line. I do understand that it can be overwhelming to some people to have that many options, so it is great to see our users rating both companies very high on our top 25 list.
In many cases you get what you pay for, however that is not the case with V2 Cigs. James, Jane, and I have all put their products to the test to ensure they are of a high caliber quality and all of us were impressed with the way the V2 Cigs products held up. So if you are looking for a high quality e-cigarette that can be customized to your liking and requires zero maintenance, go with V2 Cigs

GREATEST thing ever! I love the V2 everything from its style its performance and their flavors! I bought mine in stainless steel to me its so classy and I don’t think Ive seen it offered any where else at least as the same price as the other colors! For me with the V2 as soon as a got it I started using it and it was that simple to stop smoking normal cigs! Good luck & I hope you give e-cigs a try to!
I’ve been using V2 for a month. It’s a great product and really cool substitute for regular cigarettes. It was hard for me quit smoking again (after 24 years of it I’ve quit for two years and then started again), but V2 gave me the chance. It’s awesome!
In my experience V2 has been everything I could have hoped for. I have read some reviews where others did not have a great experience. My whole ordering process went smoothly from beginning to end. I did A LOT of research before finally settling on V2 as my e-cig supplier, and since my starter kit arrived (over a month ago) I have not had a cigarette! V2 has many different flavors and accessories to choose from. Their carts are actually lasting me as long as a pack of traditional cigs would. I was also really impressed by the amount of vapor V2 e-cigs produce…very thick and smoke-like. I honestly do not miss cigarettes at all! In fact it feels like I am still smoking. They have many different batteries/cartridges/accessories to choose from and they have managed to mimic the whole sensation/feeling/throat hit of smoking an actual cigarette. I recommend V2 strongly to anyone interested in trying e-cigs. Not only am I saving money it is nice to know that I may also be saving my life. I have read where some had problems with V2’s shipping times and I can say that I have never had any problems at all. V2’s customer service is outstanding (no, I do not work for V2) and they go out of their way to please their customers. Not only is the product and customer service great but they are always running sales and have discounts…I entered the code offered on this site: ECR15 for %15 percent off of my starter kit! I recommend you all use this same code on the final payment page and it will save you %15 percent as well. V2 has truly changed my life and it is wonderful to now consider myself a “non-smoker”!!!
P.S Just tried the “Sahara” carts…….they are awesome! (Like Camels)

I did alot of research and went with V2. I could not be happier. I have not had a cigarette since opening the box! V2 is absolutely amazing. It is high quality, produces awesome vapor, the flavor are great and so is the customer service! I actually do not miss smoking at all because it feelas like I have not even quit…it is truly a godsend. I HIGHLY suggest V2 if you are considering trying e-cigs. They changed my life. And I also saved %15 percent off the price of my starter kit! All you have to do is enter the code found on this site at the final payment page and you too will save 15% percent. It is one of the best things I have ever done. Thanks again!

I have tried a couple of different e-cig providers and while I thought some were really poor (this is back in the smokeAnywhere days), I do happen to like V2cigs because it is easy and you can buy in bulk. I tried V4L and I used to love them but I happened to be very very disappointed by a customer service experience that left me thinking that while I have spent most of my e-cig money there over the past two years and referred tons of clients, they had absolutely no concern with keeping me as a client the second I had a problem. So I opted for an alternative. I found a company that was compatible and se la vie. I have also tried more hearty brands like an e-go but to be honest I just like the simplicity of the V2cigs (kr808) line. For me it is the most reasonable purchase and I will continue to buy from them regardless of any shortcomings they may have since they actually seem to care about their clients. Anywhoooo I am proud to report that I am still vaping successfully with V2cigs
I’m very happy with my V2, my favorite flavors are menthol and peppermint. I have had no problems with equipment, and have recomended this to my smoking friends. Very satisfied and the customer service is out of this world. Again, very happy with my investment.
T- 18 hours till I get my travelers kit!!! So excited can’t sleep. Gonna finish off my last pack of marlbro lights tonight and start a whole new lifestyle with the V2 travelers kit!

I thought that other top brand (SC) was the best until I tried V2Cigs. *YAY* finally after months of trying various top brands I have found the absolute best e-Cig out there.
. Seriously, honestly;
(1) Value?, I think the price is right, IMO better compared to most other brands considering the quality and taste.
(2) Delivery was a bit slow getting here, but considering where I live I guess that is reasonable (for standard delivery), but fulfillment of the order could have been a little faster, I guess V2cigs must be popular (thereby busy)!
(3) Ease of draw?, absolutely NO risk of imploding my brains out by sucking too hard. Seriously V2cigs is truly a satisfying pick of the draw (pun intended)!
(4) Quality?, feels solid, well packaged, easy to use, I got the black batteries and yeah they do look very nice.
(5) Taste?, seriously delicious! I got the coffee flavor, on a new cartridge I can taste the frothy milk head, as the cartridge wears on I can taste more of the coffee bean. Honestly it tastes much better than most other cups of coffees sold in my area.
(6) Customer service?, Very quick to respond, its like friendly elves hovering around me 24/7. No complaints!
Hey, I might suggest a new flavor; ‘Baby Back Ribs’, and yeah I’ll have fries with that order (sorry admin, that last line was a joke)!! (NO oooh don’t edit it out!!!)
Thanks V2cigs
Great product but the taste is way off. Might work for a marb smoker but my favs are lucky strike and american spirit. This’ll get rid of the nicotine craving but not quite the tabbacco craving
My husband and I have smoked for over 30 years. We smokED Marlboro Light 100′s. We have had our V2 cowboy 6 mg for a week. We have not had 1 REAL cig since we started. There are no side effects, no bad breath, no coughing, NOTHING!! This is the best I have ever felt. My car is now smoke free, my clothes have been washed and no longer smell of smoke, and the best thing I havae to say is our kids are so happy for us that they are telling strangers that their parents don’t smoke anymore. We can’t thank you enough. If you are thinking about just “trying” to quit, this just might be your ticket, it was definately ours!! Good Luck!
Hi Terry - Thanks for commenting and for your question. I don’t usually chime in and leave things to your peers, but I’m making an exception becuase this is a common question. First of all, the only e-cig that is similar in weight to a real cigarette was Greenarette and it had a number of drawbacks due to it’s size. Drawbacks ranged from lack of battery life due to much smaller, less powerful, LIGHTER batteries, less vapor due to lower voltage from a smaller sized battery capacity, smaller cartridges which means fewer “hits” per cartridge, which means more money and more switching out cartridges.
Having said that, GS is on the heavier side because it has a high voltage battery which allows for more vapor production, however they are going through a cartridge migration right now and may not have hit the nail on the head yet. They are still one of my favorite brands and I have confident they will have a solution for the difficulty “drawing” from their current cartrdiges.
V2 Cigs sells a wide array of batteries and sizes, so if weight is a big factor for you, I suggest a smaller battery from V2 or perhaps Premium. If you are looking for an easier draw and a mid-range wight e-cig try The Safe Cig or White Cloud if it’s can be worked into your budget. I hope this helps!
Happy Vaping!

I look like an unobjective shill for v2 don’t I? I’ve had their kit, day 3 now. Ordered on Sunday, arrived wednesday, thru a blizzard, I was plussed.
Got a sampler cart pack,
cowboy is a little fruity on the backend, but pleasant
congress does remind me of a parliment (without the hacking cough)
menthol is just minty, not really smoky (not truly a bad thing, I actually prefer it).
peppermint is 100% dead on, pep-o-mint in your mouth, great sensation
coffee tastes like a coffee candy drop, just as I expected
cherry takes a big mouth drag to get the flavor, which reminds me of weak cherry pipe tob.
vanilla is bland, also needs a big mouth drag to get the flavor, but a little weak
chocolate tastes like chocolate hard candy (this is a positive) I liked it
Got the travel kit, so had the notebook/usb cig for the office. BEST VAPOR PRODUCTION EVER! Can easily cough by getting to MUCH vapor, manual button makes it easy to regulate with a few hours practice.
Both the auto and manual battery work as advertized, my friend and I each killed a battery in one day (8-10hrs) but we were really trying to work them. Give each a 4-5 hr charge (DON’T LEAVE THE BATTERY PLUGGED INTO THE CHARGER ENDLESSLY, IT WILL EVENTUALLY DEGRADE YOUR BATTERIES, THE CHARGER HAS NO ‘SMART’ CUTOFF, just the light going green telling you to UNPLUG THE BATTERY). Now that you know how it is supposed to be used, pay attention to your batteries, they are not “set it and forget it”!
Both the manual and auto sticks have great vapor production. Learn to ‘smoke’ your e-cig, taking slightly slower, more drawn out drags will get you proper vapor and flavor. Can’t smoke an e-cig like an analog, short drags don’t get the job done. It’s a small price to pay to learn to smoke just slightly different, and you really can get a nice smoke from these e-cigs.
All of the parts work, they work as advertized, there is no “funny business” I have encountered with this company. I ordered, paid, and they sent me the product, which actually works, fast. Can’t really sum it up better than that.
Standard disclaimer about nicotine: To the FDA, ALA, New York, King County Washington and even liberal e-cig advocates. Keep the rhetoric to a minimum. Nicotine on its own has medical side effects (mainly to the bloodstream [constricts] and nervous system [your brain], not your lungs). The sooner any individual can be free of a nicotine addiction will be better off. I myself understand I’m inhaling a PG wator vapor and some flavors along with the nicotine. I personally believe inhaling PG water vapor, flavor and some nicotine is “better for you” than smoking/chewing anything tobacco. Plus you have the option of PG water vapor and flavors, with no nicotine at all. I don’t smoke tobacco anymore, for a smoker, that is very nearly the best thing that could ever come out of smoking e-cigs.
My concern is that I bought Green Smoke and not satisfied. It’s hard to draw and I can’t taste the nicotine..but more importantly, it’s a very heavy item…doesn’t feel like a normal cig. Can you relate if the V2 cig is lighter?
I agree with all the reviews above, the product is great and easy to use. The only problem that I see they have is delivery of product. Customer service in the chat mode, you can visit their site for details on the function, has always been available. Can not say they are always friendly and their typing leaves a lot to be desired but they are available. Delivery is a problem with every order back ordered product is not disclosed when you place an order and if the product is in stock it appears a week to send from their location is more the norm than the 24 to 48 hours that they state on their web site. Overall I believe at this time they have the best product just wish they would correct their customer service and delivery system.
(BIG TOBACCO)is scared do you wonder WHY???The patch,the gum or the pills seem to always fail in the end WHY???They treat the addiction but not the habit, it’s the process,the habit of having something in your hands,it’s the draw and the feel of the smoke in your throat. Once you commit to vapping, you have QUIT smoking PERIOD.Now you can work on the addictive part or not.V-cig is a great product,well made,and have many cart flavors. I have three favorites out of the many they have (the peppermint is the bomb).

I love this product! Me and my wife recently had a baby and after countless failed quitting attempts I decided to try this E cig. It completely satisfies my nicotine urges. Feels like a real cig only a little different. My neighbor introduced me to V2 and after extensive research I decided to stick with this brand. I bought the standard starter kit which came with two batteries, five cartridges, USB charger and wall charger. Customer service was extremely friendly and answered every time I called. At first they didn’t have exactly what I wanted. I ordered full strength cowboy and they didn’t have them so they sent medium which was fine. In fact they sent me an extra five pack for the inconvenience. Go with V2, you will not be disappointed! I ordered the product on December 16 and received it December 22.
Hi Angela,
I got a number of emails stating the same about V2 in the month of November and I too think the extended shipping time without prior notification to customers was a bit shady… However, I have been told and have seen the results myself of on time shipments back to less than 5 days on average due to increased inventory and a better estimate of sales totals. Their product sold 300% in November compare to October and now has inventory to cover another 300% increase in December. If you or anyone has ordered again from V2 in the last 10 days or so, please leave a review and specify how long from the time of your order it took to receive the package and also the state (or country) in which you reside.

I ordered v2 cigs on nov. 3. It just arrived yesterday. Nov. 24th. No one told me it was on backorder until I called. Which I think is pretty crappy. It is near impossible to get ahold of anyone. It was ridiculous how long it took to get the product. Other than that, the v2 is a great product. The taste is way better than the previous njoy ecigs I tried. The portable charger is a wonderful addition. I highly recommend if you can wait for the product and withstand the poor customer service line.
I ordered an Ultimate Kit for my boyfriend who has been a heavy smoker for 15 years. He was very skeptical and thought the whole thing was going to be a huge waste of my money. However after trying the V2 for the first time, he only complained mildly, about the slight taste difference, and has significantly (about 75% less) cut back on his Marlboro consumption.

i wish i still smoked just so i could try it
Ordered the starter kit and the cartridges were back ordered then came in the wrong strength lites at 6mg instead of fulls at 18mg. Ordered the samples pack – wasn’t sent until inquired about it. Ordered additional cartridges and gee just back ordered prior to our placing the order, which we were not notifies about until again we inquired why our order was still in “fulfillment” for several days after our order. My husband went back to cigarettes while waiting for the correct item to arrive.
I can see how this product will help anyone who is determined to cut back or stop smoking regular cigarettes. I say this because just in my first two days, instead of smoking two packs of cigarettes (Pall Mall Full Strength) which I normally smoke, I have only smoked four PM Cigs (three yesterday and one today). WOW! For Me… This is pretty darn amazing! I’ve been a heavy smoker for 50 of my 61 years, and I have tried everything: the gum, the patch, hypnotists, acupuncture, books, audios and more…
V2 Cigs is the best electronic cigarettes out on the market! I love my e cig, I’ll never go back to normal cigarette again!

I have been a pack-a-day smoker for 18+ years, and have tried countless methods to quit, unsuccessfully… until I tried V2. A close friend of mine had one at the bar, and I was skeptical, but I took a puff. Surprisingly, it felt like taking a drag on a real cigarette! I think what intrigued me the most was that I didn’t even have to go outside to smoke it! I decided to order a V2 Ultimate Kit – and once I reached my last cigarette in my pack of Marlboros, I decided… this is it. I’ve been smoking the Cowboy Fulls, which really satisfy my need for smoking. Better yet, I feel more energized. I don’t cough my lungs out in the morning, and I still use my ecig when I wake up, for breaks, after meals, etc. It’s been a great experience, and I definitely recommend V2 Cigs.
