Fashion and function meet in the form of Vapor Couture, V2 Cigs' sister company. Vapor Couture was developed for women vapers who were under-represented in the e cig market at the time of their launch a couple of years ago.

-----------------
Now there are lots of pretty batteries covered in gems and wraps, but not that many slim batteries which are also pretty. Slim e cigs fit more comfortably into a woman's hand than the marginally larger V2 Cig, but at 190 mAh these provide about the same power as a standard V2 Cig battery.
Their diameter differs, however, so threading is not compatible. Don't try to add V2 Cig cartomizers to the Vapor Couture battery as you will be tempted to do after working your way through a limited selection of flavors.
What's on the Menu at Vapor Couture?
Vapor Couture carries 5 starter kits which start off costing more than V2 Cigs and other starter kits for the same sort of thing. The biggest package costs a bomb.
Their Entrée for $41.46 contains a single battery and USB charger with 6 cartomizers and a disposable e cig. Since a second battery is priced $20.70, you are better off just skipping to L'Essentiel Kit for $67.41.
Take out the disposable, add an AC adapter and 4 more cartomizers, and you are ready to go. L'Essentiel Kit +1 for another $36 provides either a portable charging case or a stainless steel charm necklace.
The Passeport Kit contains a good selection at a hefty $155.62 with 2 batteries, 10 cartomizers, a charging kit, car adapter, and both of the optional parts listed above, but it is the Maximale that really packs it all in. For $207.51, you receive an extra battery, 20 cartomizers, everything listed above, plus a Smartphone Clutch in one of four colors.
Cartomizers at Vapor Couture
Your cost for 5 cartomizers is $13.44 and there are 6 flavors to choose from. It has been a long time since they added two more to the original 4 flavors.
Choose Passion Fruit, Arctic Mint, Rodeo Drive (all-American tobacco), Bombshell (smooth tobacco), or Fresh Mint. Nicotine strengths are 0, 0.6%, 1.2%, and 1.8%.
You can save some money here by purchasing a big package, knowing as you do that a cartridge lasts almost as long as it would take you to smoke a package of cigarettes.
If you smoked 1 ½ packages of cigarettes daily, a single five-pack lasts three days. Buying in bulk is a good way to save money on something that's already overpriced.
Disposable Pleasures
The majority of e cigs sales are attributed to disposables of which there are so many you can visit one convenience store after another in a 30-mile radius and not see the same brand twice. Vapor Couture only sells their disposables in packages of 5 or 10 for $46.65 or $82.97, and they carry just 3 flavors: Arctic Mint, Rodeo Drive, and Passion Fruit and 1.2% strength.
While a rechargeable battery is good for 190 mAh (about 2 to 3 hours of vaping), the Vapor Couture disposable has a 125-mAh battery: enough for an hour or two. It's shorter, but otherwise, it looks just the same.
Accessories and Packaging
Many of the accessories listed below are included in starter kits already, but supposing you give one to a friend as a gift or you just really fancy a PCC in another color, they are sold separately as well.
Other products include the metal carry case or a sterling silver version of the stainless steel e cig charm necklace, this one costing $155.62.
Replacement batteries come in four colors: deep purple, signature, rose gold, or brushed platinum. These are your color choices when buying a starter kit. Cartomizers are also sold in your choice of the same four colors.
Products arrive in beautiful packaging such as purple and gilt boxes; perhaps too much packaging considering how much everything costs. Vapor Couture is an expensive brand, but they could save some money by reducing the luxurious wrapping. In this case, you are definitely paying for looks.
Impressions from Women
Women vapers and men who love women vapers are thrilled with this product. It's an accessory and a vapor cigarette rolled into one and, as the advertising suggests, something that was never available to women who smoked cigarettes.
Vapor Couture suits women in business or high society. A jeweled light at the end creates a pretty effect. The tip is just one of many details which contribute to the rich look that make Vapor Couture popular with stylish women.
Their clutch is capacious enough to hold money, car keys, and a portable charging case. Necklaces are lovely with or without an e cig dangling from them. To save a few dollars, go to their "sale" department and there you find versions of the charm necklace and other products which have been discontinued but are still functional and lovely.
