VapePicks has two goals: find the best vapes on the market and make the “why” behind every recommendation easy to understand.
We don’t write reviews from spec sheets. We test real devices, in real use, over time. Then we publish what we found—clearly, with evidence, and with the tradeoffs spelled out.
Hands-on testing
Tested across daily use and longer sessions
Retests included
Rechecks to confirm consistency over time
Pocket stress checks
Leak and pocket-carry stress checks
Battery logs
Battery performance and charging behavior logged
Clear tradeoffs
Clear pros/cons backed by results
Over the years, we’ve tested 1000+ devices. These are the standouts—top scores, strong real-world performance, and fewer long-term surprises.
Our team includes experienced reviewers with clear roles in the process. We also consult relevant experts for safety and compliance checks, so the review stays grounded in real risk factors and real use.
Chris Miller — Lead Tester
Chris runs the testing pipeline and scoring framework. He coordinates retests, tracks consistency, and ensures every device goes through the same steps before we publish.
Marcus Reed — Tester
Marcus focuses on long sessions and stress conditions. He flags weak build points, heat issues, and the small failures that show up after heavy use.
VapePicks is supported by readers. If you buy through a link on our site, we may earn a commission. That never affects our scores, rankings, or conclusions.
If a brand claims “no leaks” and we see leaks in testing, we publish that. If performance drops after a week of use, we say it.
We never accept payment for positive reviews
Editorial decisions are separate from business partnerships
Affiliate relationships are disclosed where they exist
Test results beat marketing claims
If a vape doesn’t meet our standards, we’ll say it
Every review follows the same core process: hands-on use + simple measurement + retesting. We test across different users and routines, then confirm what holds up over time.
We test flavor clarity and consistency from the first pull through the end of a pod/coil cycle. We note muted flavor, quick drop-offs, and off-notes.
Battery safety, charging behavior, compatibility, and authentic hardware matter as much as performance. We include clear warnings and practical notes in every review, especially when a device shows risk signals or inconsistent behavior.
Get new reviews, retest updates, and quick warnings about devices that don’t hold up.
