V2cigs V2 Economy Kit (Part 2 of 2)

This is Part 2 of a 2 Part review. If you haven't read Part 1, you may want to do so now.

As you may recall, I ordered the Economy Kit on Apr 27. This was done using USPS Priority Mail, or the cheapest shipping option available. So I was expecting quite a long wait. Much to my surprise, it arrived 5 days later on May 2nd! It was very well packaged and the Kit actually comes in a really cool box. Check it out:

V2 Economy Kit

Like a kid, I opened it up and the first thing I checked was the battery. It was already fully charged and they sent me a V2 manual battery, which is a bit of a welcome surprise as their web site says automatic. The other surprise was the Promo Code for 15% off my next order of cartridges or accessories!

First let me start by stating that inhaling vapor is different than inhaling smoke. Vapor is a bit heavier but it's something I got used to very quickly. Also, pressing the button on the manual takes a slight bit of getting used to. However, using the button becomes second nature very quickly as well.

After opening the cool looking box and connecting the cartridge to the battery, I quickly realized how small and light it is! The throw away e-cig I had was a tiny bit bigger and significantly heavier. For me, smaller and lighter is better for e-cigs, so that's a plus in my book.

The Battery - manual vs automatic

Personally, I love the manual battery. The button allows for quick vapor. The only trick is knowing that when you let go of the button, the V2 stays lit for a bit, so be sure and let go a bit early.

While I love the manual battery best, the V2 is light enough that, with the automatic battery, it can be held in the mouth and smoked (vapored?) like normal. I've seriously been thinking about getting an automatic just so I can keep it in the car. Smoking the manual while driving is actually pretty easy but the automatic is much more vehicle friendly.

The Charger

The battery can be charged via USB. There is also a wall charger that the USB cable plugs into. While plugged into the wall, the battery takes about 45 minutes to charge. While plugged into a USB device, like a laptop, desktop, etc., the battery also takes about 45 minutes to charge. For me, I can wait that long between smokes but if that's too long for you, simply buy an additional battery and smoke (vapor?) one while charging the dead one.

The Cartridges

The V2 cartridges come in many different flavors:

• Red (Cowboy),
• Congress
• Menthol
• Coffee
• Vanilla
• Cherry
• Peppermint
• Chocolate
• Sahara
• Cola

I've tried all but Cola, which doesn't ship until June 5th - so it was unavailable for my testing. Personally, I like all the flavors. Menthol, by far is my fav as I feel it is the smoothest. If you don't like menthol, both Congress and Chocolate are smoother than the rest. None, I feel, are overly harsh but the rest just aren't as smooth a vapor as those three. The harshest, I feel, are Red and Sahara but the flavors are fitting and, like I stated, they are not too harsh to both inhale deeply and even swallow (more on that later).

The Coffee, Vanilla, Cherry, Peppermint and Chocolate taste as advertised. So if you like Coffee the best, then that will be your fav. For me, it's Chocolate.

How High Can You Go?

Everyone that smokes cigarettes is familiar with the buzz or high associated with smoking. If you've ever smoked hookah, you also know the high is even that much better. Smoking (vaporing?) a V2 can give the same high as smoking hookah, if done properly. The steps are as follows:

1. Inhale slowly and deeply.
2. Once done inhaling, swallow.
3. Hold breath for as long as possible. (You can feel it all through out your body!)
4. Exhale.
5. Repeat at least 4 or more times

This process gives a high that you simply can't obtain smoking regular cigaretts. It also helps if you use the Full - 18mg strength cartridges, as you'll get more nicotine into your body with each deep inhale.

Personally, I really like the V2 e-cigs. They even have blank cartridges so that you can use your own liquid, which can be purchased at most mall kiosks or via other web sites, like Johnson & Creek juices.
