If you are on the hunt for a sleek, user-friendly vape that delivers a strong performance whilst not breaking the bank, the Vaporesso Vibe might just be your new ‘go to’.
This compact pod system is designed with MTL vaping in mind, but with its adjustable airflow feature, you can also get away with a satisfying RDTL inhale.
This cracking bit of kit will appeal to vapers that crave performance, simplicity and subtle customisation.
After spending some quality time with it, and putting it through its paces, here’s the lowdown on what makes the Vibe tick.
Fresh out of the box, the Vaporesso Vibe impresses with its minimalist design. It is lightweight, slim and fits perfectly in the palm of your hand or pocket – ideal for on the go vaping!
It’s matte finish is not only visually appealing, but also acts as a resistance against pesky fingerprints. The Vibe comes in a variety of snazzy colour themes, oozing with refinement and style.
The 0.54” OLED screen is a nice touch and provides clear information about battery life and power modes, without being too obtrusive.
The side mounted mode switch is conveniently placed to the side of the device, allowing users to easily toggle between ECO and PWR modes.
Overall, I found the superior build quality to be solid and well crafted, with no instances of looseness or rattling.
Packing a fairly substantial 1100mAh battery, the Vibe sits around average in this respect when compared to similar devices currently on the market.
I found that the 1100mAh battery held up rather well, although I did find myself having to charge it at least once during a day of heavy vaping.
I was using PWR mode, which runs at 24 watts, whereas if you are operating on ECO mode (14W) you can expect a substantially extended battery life.
For me, PWR mode offered a more intense throat hit and a more pronounced flavour, something that I have been accustomed to when vaping pod systems.
On the plus side, the Vibe did power back up quite swiftly, only needing to be on charge for about 30-40 mins before being fully replenished again, ready to go.
Charging is handled via a USB C port, and supports 2A fast charging. The crisp OLED screen displays battery life, so you are never caught off guard.
The Vibe’s standout (and incredibly simple) feature is its dual mode functionality, offering both ECO and PWR settings.
With ECO mode selected, the device runs at a subtle 14W, ideal for a tighter draw, closely mimicking the inhale of a cigarette or standard single use vapes. Working wonders with nicotine salt eLiquids, this is a perfect choice for MTL vaping.
Another benefit of using ECO mode is the fact that it conserves battery life and greatly extends pod longevity.
PWR mode, for me, is where this device truly shines, and it provides a punchy 24W output…battery life is slightly diminished but the intense throat hit and ‘flowy’ vapour production certainly makes up for that.
The flavour delivery with both modes is impressive, with the dual mesh coils providing a rich and consistent taste.
The auto draw function on this kit is incredibly responsive and only needs the slightest of inhales to activate it.
With a TPD compliant 2ml capacity (4.5ml in other markets), the pods are super easy to maintain. A growing trend (and one I can fully get behind) are pods that feature a non-removable, pre-installed coil.
This minimises hassle and reduces potential leakages in my opinion. The side fill mechanism features a small silicone stopper that makes refilling straightforward and mess free.
Vaporesso have carefully crafted these pods to be leak resistant and, through my experience, they live up to this claim.
Even after multiple refills, instances of leakages are non-existent and condensation build up is minimal. Pods are expected to last approximately 30 refills, offering impressive longevity and reduced ongoing costs.
I found that one of the Vibe’s true strengths lie in its simplicity, making it an ideal candidate for all levels of vapers.
There is no need to fiddle with buttons or settings – just fill the pod, select your preferred mode, and inhale!
Cost wise, the Vaporesso Vibe comes in at around £20-£25 GBP, depending on where you decide to purchase it.
I would say that this is about average when compared to similar pod systems, and is excellent value for money.
Replacement pods can be easily sourced and their substantial, long lasting life means you probably won’t be needing to buy spares quite so often.
Overall thoughts on the Vaporesso Vibe
For my final thoughts, I found that the Vaporesso Vibe checked all of the boxes when it comes to choosing a well built, reliable, easy to operate and affordable device.
It is a true all rounder, and its dual mode functionality allows for a tailored vaping experience, whether you prefer a tight MTL draw, or a more open, flavourful hit.
The dependable battery life and quick charge method makes it suitable for all day use, and its compact design ensures portability.
While it may not have the advanced features of a more expensive device, the Vibe delivers where it counts.
So, if you are a beginner looking for a starter kit, or a more experienced vaper seeking a fuss free and convenient back up, you’re going to want to check out the Vaporesso Vibe.
Pros
- Super easy to use
- Affordable upkeep
- Pod longevity
Cons
- I’m used to using lower resistance pods, with wattages hitting around 30W, so the throat hit was a little smoother than what I usually go for.
