The long-awaited sequel to the budget king 'Sonder Q' vape kit is finally here!

The Sonder Q2 comes in at a similar budget-friendly price point of £9.49, while sporting improved and totally new features. So let's go through what makes this kit stand out over its predecessor (the Geekvape Sonder Q) and determine if the Sonder Q2 is worth the upgrade.

• 1 x User Manual

Design and Build Quality

Constructed from a lightweight yet durable aluminium alloy, the Sonder Q2 feels light, but sturdy in the hand. It is available in ten metallic colourways, which offers more than enough choice for personalisation.

The standout feature of this device is the RGB LED ring integrated into the Sonder logo, providing a dynamic visual effect and serving as a handy battery indicator.

Performance and Battery Life

Fuelled by a 1350mAh internal battery, the Sonder Q2 delivers a much-appreciated upgrade in terms of battery capacity, lasting me just over a day of regular vaping (your mileage may vary). The device supports Type-C USB charging with a 5V/1A output, allowing for quick recharging.

In terms of performance the Sonder Q2 does not disappoint; the 10W increase from the original Sonder Q can be felt with much richer and denser vapour production.

Pod Compatibility and Airflow Control

The Sonder Q2 is compatible with Geekvape Q Cartridges, which come in resistances of 0.4Ω, 0.6Ω, 0.8Ω, and 1.2Ω. This means for those already invested into the Geekvape Q platform you will be able to use the same pods from your old device.

In my opinion the Q pods are a steal, being priced at only £7.99 per pack of 3, they tend to last much longer than any other top-fill pod I have ever used.

Pros

• Sturdy and portable design with multiple colour options.
• Longest-lasting battery life at its price point (at time of writing).
• Adjustable airflow that caters to various vaping preferences.
• Quick and convenient Type-C USB charging.
• Compatible with the Geekvape Q pod range.
• Amazing value for the low price of £9.49

Cons

• The included USB-C cable is tad short for my liking

Conclusion and Recommendation

The Geekvape Sonder Q2 stands as the best budget vape kit of 2024, combining style, performance, and user-friendly features. Its robust battery life, adjustable airflow, and affordable pods set it apart from other pod kits on the market.

I would highly recommend this kit for anyone who is new to vaping, wants a secondary kit or isn't bothered about the bells and whistles you would expect from more expensive kits.
