JAC Vapour is a UK-based e-cigarette produced that has been around for 5 years now, having been established in 2010. They are now among the globe’s major e-cigarette brands and their philosophy is revealed by what JAC actually stands for, which is Just Like a Cigarette. The company has pushed forward with its innovative approach, having recently released a range for advanced users, which will doubtless be of interest for those enthusiasts who have been vaping for a while. As well as the new advanced range, JACVapour also has an excellent range of products, including starter kits, for every kind of smoker, and the quality of their product is consistently good.
JAC Vapour E-Liquid Flavors
JAC has an e-liquid range which offers 3 types of liquid: Standard, UK-Made and Clear Stream. All 3 ranges comes in 4 different nicotine strengths of 0mg/ml, 12mg/ml, 18mg/ml and 24mg/ml.
There are 26 flavours to choose from in the Standard Range, and each flavour has been tested in the UK. Customers can also choose to have their liquid in wither a PG or VG base. The flavours are generally very good and a special mention should go to the tobacco flavour on the Standard Range, which come in different strengths and taste very much like a real cigarette, making them among the very best on offer, for those who are looking for this flavour.
In the UK-Made range, perhaps the outstanding flavour is Real Raspberry, which offers a strong, genuinely fruity flavour without overpowering the user or being excessively sweet.
If you’re looking for something a bit different and forward-looking, then the Vapour Clear Stream range is definitely worth a look. The range is predicated on the fact that the liquid produced no or at most minimal amounts of vapour, which will doubtless appeal to those who are looking to be more discreet with their vaping. Liquids in the Clear Stream range are offered in a choice of 6 different flavours, with honourable mention going to Menthol, which had a fresh, icy taste which lasted very impressively. Worth mentioning too is the fact that the liquids also yield a very decent throat hit, which is quite a feat for an e-liquid that doesn’t yield vapour.
JACVapour Vapor production
All of the JAC Vapour products tried yield very good vapour production, with the added bonus that a primer drags were never necessary, making for a much better and relaxing vaping experience.
Ease of Use
Pretty user-friendly, but be a bit careful when cleaning the batteries, as there have been a few reports that they can become easily broken.
Battery & Charging
JAC Vapour gives customers a choice between manual and automatic batteries and a range of capacity from 150mAh to 1300mAH. Battery life and performance is good with JAC, yielding consistently good vapour production and a lifetime that compared very well with other brands. The throat hit also remains decent until the very end of the battery’s life, which, again, marks the brand out. For moderate smokers, battery life can stretch to an impressive 2 days, whereas heavier users will likely can a day out of it. You won’t of course get this long if you have one of JAC’s small devices, (the PCC, for instance) as, logically, the battery itself will be that much smaller. In mitigation, though, the PCC recharges rapidly and has a big capacity. Batteries from JAC will typically last for up to 6 months.
Accessories
There are a wide variety of disposable items for JAC’s starter kits, including rechargeable batteries and carry cases, as well as battery accouterments such as coloured battery tips and lanyards, lanyards and cartomizer adapters.
You can also get additional bungs and mouthpieces of which there is an excellent variety for every one of the company’s devices.
JAC Vapour Starter Kits
JACVapor has a range of starter kits for different users’ needs. The most basic is the disposable Starter Kit, which just contains 1 tobacco-flavored cartomizer and 1 battery-non-rechargeable. Obviously, this is for a one-time use, which is good for those who want to try out JAC’s products before fully committing.
Next comes for Social Starter Kit, which comes with 5 cartomizers, 1 V3i battery and 2 chargers.
Then, there is the Basic Starter Kit, which includes 2 V3i batteries, 2 chargers and 5 cartomizers.
After this, we have the Basic Starter V3i Tank Kit, which comprises 2 V3i batteries, 3 V3i Mini Tanks, a 10ml bottle of e-juice and 2 chargers.
In the Crystal Mini Vgo Auto/Manual 400 mAh Kit, you’ll get 2 VGO2 400 mAh batteries, 2 crystal tanks and the ever-useful USB charger.
Slightly up the scale comes the Vgo2 Auto 650 mAh Kit, which also has the USB charger, plus 5 50mm cartomizers and 2 VGO2 650 mAh batteries.
Finally, is the Vgo Variable Voltage Manual Kit, which is a step up again, featuring 2 VGO VV batteries, a Nova Tank and USB charger.

Design and Packaging
In general, the company has very sleek p&d, with starter kits coming in a stark, plain white box with a printed logo in the middle, which is really striking against the stark whiteness. Coloured stripes at each end add to the striking effect.
JAC’s V3i range of devices is worth mentioning for the elegance of the their design, with minimalism very much at the forefront, apparently. The style is elegant, and very much with newbie users in mind, meaning that the devices in the range resemble a traditional cigarette. The tank devices, while obviously large than the e-cig devices, are still elegant.
