The VEEV NOW 18 mL sits in the “high-puff, rechargeable disposable” lane, and that category lives or dies on consistency. I reviewed it for three things that tend to decide whether a big-capacity disposable feels usable or annoying: how stable the flavor stays, how the draw behaves as the liquid drops, and how predictable the charge-and-carry routine feels. The built-in display also changes daily use, and it can either help or become noise.
What is the VEEV NOW 18 mL?
VEEV NOW 18 mL is a disposable vape that uses a larger prefilled tank and a rechargeable battery, with USB-C charging. It’s rated for up to 8000 puffs, and it adds a screen that shows battery and e-liquid status. The fit is straightforward: adult users who want a grab-and-go device but still want the option to recharge before the liquid runs out. The core risks are nicotine dependence, battery misuse during charging, and the usual mouthpiece hygiene/condensation issues that show up with pocket carry.
Why choose the VEEV NOW 18 mL?
This device fits adult users who want restricted MTL to loose MTL behavior, with a steady routine and fewer “dead device” surprises near the end. It also fits people who like fruit or mint profiles and want a quick check on battery and liquid without guessing.
It’s a poor fit for anyone chasing true DL airflow, anyone who wants a very dry, unsweet profile, and users who dislike cooling notes in fruit/mint blends. It also won’t satisfy people who want to tune wattage, swap coils, or treat the device like a hobby object. If ultra-light pocket carry is the top priority, the larger tank format is a tradeoff.
How We Tested It
We ran the VEEV NOW 18 mL for 3 days across normal carry, desk use, and short outdoor sessions, landing around 100–300 puffs per day depending on the tester. I tracked flavor accuracy, puff-to-puff consistency, airflow/draw behavior, throat hit, condensation/leak risk, and battery/charging behavior. Marcus leaned into longer chains and higher daily volume, while Jamal focused on pocket carry and quick bursts. For charging, we used USB-C and watched the screen behavior through two recharge cycles.
Performance Scores of the Vape
Test duration: 3 days, mixed short sessions and longer chains, roughly 100–300 puffs per day across the team
Scoring rubric: 1.0–5.0 scale; flavor and throat hit are subjective; battery/charging and leakage are based on observed behavior
Device context: disposable, rechargeable, 18 mL tank, screen for battery and e-liquid status
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Flavor | 4.1 | Clear top notes on fruit flavors, and the profile stayed readable deep into the tank without turning flat. |
| Throat Hit | 3.6 | Noticeable but not aggressive; it can feel sharper on longer pulls, especially once the device warms up. |
| Vapor Production | 3.7 | Consistent mid-density output; it does not behave like a high-airflow, high-output disposable. |
| Airflow/Draw | 3.8 | Restricted, steady pull with limited variation; predictable in short bursts and tolerable in longer chains. |
| Battery Life | 4.2 | Rechargeable format avoids the “battery dies early” problem; the screen reduces guesswork in daily use. |
| Leak Resistance | 4.0 | No true leaks in the test window; some mouthpiece condensation showed up during pocket carry. |
| Build Quality | 4.1 | Solid feel for a disposable; the screen and body held up to three days of normal handling and pockets. |
| Ease of Use | 4.3 | Puff-activated, no setup, and the screen makes status checks quick without decoding LED patterns. |
| Portability | 3.6 | Pocketable, but the larger tank format feels bulkier than small 2 mL disposables. |
| Overall Score | 3.9 | Strong day-to-day usability for a rechargeable disposable, with draw style and size as the main tradeoffs. |
Our Testing Experience
Our Testing Results
I treated the VEEV NOW 18 mL as an everyday disposable that still needs a charging habit. The screen became the main control surface: battery percent and the e-liquid indicator made it easy to decide whether it was worth topping off before leaving. Charging over USB-C was routine, and in practice the device returned to a usable level quickly enough that I didn’t have to “save” it for later.
Across three days, my usage landed around the mid range (roughly 180–220 puffs/day). Marcus pushed the upper end (closer to 250–300/day) with longer chains, and Jamal stayed in shorter bursts (roughly 120–180/day) while commuting and walking. The device stayed stable on draw activation, with no misfires in the pocket or when picked up after sitting on a desk. Condensation was the main maintenance item: after heavy use, a quick wipe at the mouthpiece kept the draw clean and avoided that damp “film” feeling.
Draw Experience
I rotated Blueberry, Watermelon, and Classic Tobacco, which are standard 18 mL options.
Blueberry opened with a bright candy-like top note, then settled into a softer berry tone after a few dozen puffs; the main change over time was sweetness becoming more “rounded” rather than sharper. Watermelon leaned lighter and cleaner, with a cooler edge that felt more obvious in longer pulls; after repeated short hits, the finish stayed crisp instead of turning syrupy. Classic Tobacco came across as toasted and dry-leaning for a disposable, with a mild sweetness that sat behind the darker note; it was the most forgiving flavor when the device warmed up, since it didn’t turn sour or overly perfumed.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Screen makes battery and liquid checks fast during daily carry. | Bulkier feel than small 2 mL disposables. |
| Rechargeable format reduces “battery died early” frustration. | Draw stays restricted; it won’t satisfy open-airflow users. |
| Flavor stayed consistent deeper into the tank on fruit options. | Fruit flavors can read sweet over long sessions. |
| Puff activation stayed reliable with no misfires in the test window. | Mouthpiece condensation can build up with pocket carry and chain use. |
| USB-C charging is simple, and the device supports recharging until liquid is depleted. | Screen can encourage frequent checking, which gets distracting for some users. |
| Wide flavor range across fruit, mint, and tobacco profiles. | No meaningful customization beyond choosing a flavor. |
| Solid hand feel for a disposable, with decent day-to-day durability. | If you want ultra-light portability, this format is a compromise. |

VEEV NOW 18 mL Vs. Alternatives
Choose the VEEV NOW 18 mL if you want a rechargeable disposable with a simple screen, you prefer a restricted draw, and you want long-run consistency without swapping parts.
Two close alternatives in the same “screen + recharge” disposable lane: RAZ TN9000, which adds a larger display and adjustable airflow, and Funky Republic Ti7000, which keeps the screen-focused experience with USB-C charging and a similar daily rhythm.
Pro Tips for VEEV NOW 18 mL
- Keep the USB-C cable snug, and avoid charging in a pocket or under fabric where heat can trap.
- Wipe the mouthpiece once or twice a day if you pocket-carry; condensation is easier to manage early than after it pools.
- Use shorter pulls when the device is warm; longer draws can push sweetness and throat hit up at the same time.
- If the draw feels “wet,” stop for a minute and clear the mouthpiece area with a tissue rather than chain-puffing through it.
- Store it upright when you can, especially overnight, to reduce mouthpiece condensation drift.
- Don’t leave it in a hot car or direct sun; battery behavior and liquid viscosity both get less predictable.
- Treat the screen as a planning tool, not a loop: check before leaving, then put it away and use the device normally.
- If flavor starts to fade, switch to shorter, spaced hits; rapid back-to-back pulls tend to blur flavor edges first.
- Keep the airflow channels clear of lint if you carry it in a pocket with keys or coins.
FAQs
Does the VEEV NOW 18 mL need to be charged to finish the tank?
Yes. The 18 mL version is designed to be rechargeable, and the device supports recharging until the liquid is depleted. In normal use, that matters more than the puff rating, since real puff count changes with draw length.
What does the screen actually help with in day-to-day use?
It reduces guesswork. Battery percent makes it easier to decide whether you can leave the house without a cable, and the e-liquid indicator helps avoid the “sudden dry, empty feeling” that some disposables have near the end.
Is the draw tight MTL or more open?
In use, it sits closer to restricted MTL than open. Short hits feel controlled and consistent. People who want an ultra-tight cigarette-like pull may still find it a bit looser, while DL users will find it too restricted.
How do you keep condensation from getting annoying?
Pocket carry and chain sessions are the usual triggers. A quick wipe at the mouthpiece, plus spacing hits when the body feels warm, kept it under control in our test window.
Which flavor type holds up best over a long tank?
Tobacco profiles tend to stay more stable under heat and repetition, while fruit profiles can read sweeter over time. In our rotation, Classic Tobacco stayed the most consistent during longer sessions.
