V2 VERTX Plus Review
Who is it for
V2 has tried to carve a niche between e-cigs and the powerful vaporizer mods with the VERTX Plus. It’s more powerful than a basic electronic cigarette but less powerful than a vaporizer mod, making it ideal for ex-smokers.
Vapers, who don’t get enough throat hit or vapor production from the basic e-cigarette but think that the massive clouds from the vape mods are too much for them, will simply love the V2 VERTX Plus
Is it worth the price?
The VERTX Plus costs just under $90 (and almost $50 for a model without a touchscreen), and while the free shipping, three free 1.2ml cartridges, and lifetime warranty make it a desirable bargain, we still think the price is slightly on the higher side, although no complaints whatsoever when it comes to performance or design.
Features
- Touch screen-based interface

- Innovative, lightweight construction
- LED indicator for battery charge

- Longest battery life of any micro-cig
- Up to 650 puffs per cartridge (at low setting)
Our Experience with VERTX Plus:
VERTX Plus offers an amazing user experience for such a small size. Remove the rubber seal, and insert the cartridge side into the battery, press the power button three times to turn on and you can start vaping right away. Press the power button twice when the device is on and it will enter settings where you can change different options such as brightness level and voltage. The device offers only three levels for both brightness and voltage (you can choose between 3.5, 4, and 4.5 volts.)
Since it’s not a vape mod, let’s not expect massive plumes of vapor from it, however, it offers the same amount of vapor and a similar throat hit as a normal traditional tobacco cigarette. The best thing, and probably the biggest selling point, is that it is extremely easy to use. In fact, it’s one of the easiest to use e-cigarettes on the market. You don’t even have to refill the device, just insert the magnetic cartridge and start vaping. Charging the device is absolutely hassle-free as all you have to do is plug in the magnetic charger, which instantly snaps in its place.
All in all, it offers an amazing user experience, nearly same as some of the low-power vapor mods, which cost a lot more than it.
What’s new:
Touchscreen controls
This is by far the most compelling feature and something we have never seen before, a touchscreen-based interface which is similar to what you have in your smartphone. A simple swipe of your fingers can adjust a variable voltage between 3.5, 4, and 4.5 volts and allows you to choose any of the three different brightness settings. You can’t even turn off the screen for stealth vaping. No more pressing the annoying buttons, yay!
Battery life
Although it comes with a 420mAh battery which is not the most powerful by any means, however, the VERTX has one of the longest battery lives, most likely because of the amazing engineering and circuitry of the device. It comes with a nice, convenient magnetic charger and you don’t need to plug any wires. On top of that, the amazing power meter indicator keeps you updated on the charging status of your device and how long will it take to get fully charged.
Cutting Edge cartridge technology
The package comes with three cartridges for which you can choose different flavors such as V2 Red, Sahara, Congress, V2 Menthol, Peppermint, Green Tea Menthol, and so on. Each cartridge contains 1.2 milliliters of e-juice and you can even choose your desired nicotine strength. The best thing about the cartridges is that they are magnetic and can easily slide in and snap into the place, which reduces any risk of breakage or leakage, and you don’t even have to refill the cartridges. The vapor quality and quantity both are commendable, and you get the perfect value from the high capacity atomizer.
Pros
- Extremely easy to use; from charging to changing cartridges to choosing settings to actually vaping, everything is as simple as it gets.
- Very elegant design with amazing features that we have never seen before.
- Performs amazingly good, thanks to the 4.5-volts power and the well-thought-out circuitry
- Has a long battery life thanks to the 420mAh battery
- At low setting, it can last for up to 650 puffs
Cons
- The price is slightly on the higher side and since you have to use custom cartridges which come in a package of 3 and are affordable, however, they are more expensive than your regular e-liquid and will be considerably costlier in the long run
- Comes with a custom magnetic charger which is cool and easy to use but USB-based charger is definitely more convenient
VERTX Plus is packed with sheer power, amazing unique features, and comes with an elegant design to satisfy your high demands of vaping. We really loved the touchscreen control which is the first in the electronic cigarette industry. It truly is a new era of refillable electronic cigarettes. If you want to enjoy mellow but powerful flavorful vape at extreme convenience, get the VERTX Plus from the manufacturer’s website directly to get the best deal. We are sure you won’t regret it.

July 30, 2018 at 10:54 amI bought one of these just over a year ago and It has started to not work properly as I have to suck very hard to get an vapour. They replaced the cartridges and still not working properly. I contacted customer service who were not very helpful and only suggested I return it at my own expense for testing.
I would advise people to not buy from this company as customer service is very poor.
