Vype ePen Starter Kit Review

Following the rampant success of their Vype eStick range, the sub-division of British American Tobacco have decided to up their game a little to keep pace with the rapidly enhancing – and increasingly competitive – world of introductory vaping.

Of course it helps to do with when you’ve the millions upon millions of BAT behind your R&D labs, so it’s fair to say that much was expected from the Vype ePen Starter Kit when it was unleashed – and funnily enough it looks like they’ve pulled off a bit of a cracker.

The Kit

First things first – this kit represents a really great value product, cheaper than most if not all of the noteworthy competition with a unique bulb-style look that most certainly sets it apart from the crowd.

For an off the shelf product it contains everything you need to get up and running right from the off, including a fully charged pen-battery, two cartridges, mouthpiece, USB charger and instructions.

All for less that the price of two 20-decks of cigarettes, it’s pretty hard to beat the Vype ePen starter kit for sheer value alone.

Ease Of Use & Accessibility

With only three components – the battery, mouthpiece and cartridge it’s fair to say that even those utterly new to vaping will be set up within a minute.

The cartridge elegantly and securely (important!) secures onto the battery and then the mouthpiece slots over the top. There’s the choice of two settings, one of which delivers more power with correspondingly higher vapour production (and battery/liquid use) and another standard mode best suited for casual vaping.

Other than that there’s nothing to it, it fires up right away making it always ready for use and I’d be amazed if it ever needs any form of maintenance whatsoever.

Satisfying & Consistent Performance

A noteworthy feature of the Vype ePen range is that unlike earlier products replacement and spare batteries can also be purchased individually – and it’s always sensible to have a spare battery to rotate with.

Even on the standard setting this ePen delivers a really nice vape – and without wishing to harp on about it – for the price it’s one of the best in the business.

The cartridges cannot be refilled and only Vype manufactured replacements will fit – but the flavours are robust and tasty enough to make up for this limitation in choice.

Conclusion

Available in five different colours and including everything anyone would need to receive a very good introduction to vaping, the Vype ePen is a really solid option that I’d recommend especially for those transitioning from tobacco who may well need something with a but more of a kick than offered by cig-a-like ranges.

It’s a distinctive looking device that delivers a nice vape without any of the complications and issues that often come along with ePen ranges, most importantly no leakage whatsoever. Highly recommended.
