Nicovape Q Version 2 best vape on the market by far – Initially, I wasn't a big fan of their first vape model, as it occasionally spat liquid into your mouth. However, the new version is by far the best vape I've ever used. It even has a feature where, if you place it on top of your phone, it can track your usage, battery level, and remaining liquid. I've been using it for months now without a single… Read more
issue—no more liquid in the mouth! The flavours have also significantly improved. Their tobacco flavour, which has a hint of rum and raisin, is my favourite. It even vibrates when you inhale and different lights on tge device tell you when you're getting to the end of a pod. It holds its charge really well, ive never run out of battery and go days without recharging. Also, ulike other devices, I don't experience coughing, chestiness, or any nausea when using Nicovape V2. I love how safe, easy, and enjoyable the Nicovape Q Version 2 is. Plus, with the varying nicotine strengths, I've started to gradually reduce my intake and hope to fully transition to fresh air soon.
Do NOT buy this piece of rubbish. Why? - Constantly leaking regardless of what position it's stored in. - VERY expensive pods (compared to others). - Pod quality is abysmal, they seem to burn out very quickly, with a nasty burnt fabric taste and smell. - Their warranty/claims process is horrible. Put in a claim for burnt out pods on February, they… Read more
didn't reply until July (Good job Scott). - There are other pod and non-pod options available which are cheaper than this overpriced rubbish and just work.
The cartridges last anywhere between 4 PUFFS!!!!!!! Or 40.. I'm seriously regretting not buying a pack of cigarettes! Bought between Feb 2025- April 19. Of course April 19th. With 2 days no pharmacy open.. 4 puffs.. n dead. Devastated. Quitting cold Turkey for a horrible Easter.. Lasts between half a day to 2 days. I'm hopping CH returns my… Read more
purchase. If not, I will complain the the federal government about poor "offical" products. THEY MAKE YOUR NICOTINE ADDICTON WORSE! "illegal" vapes last 1-2 weeks.. 5mg. "Govt" vaoes last a day 20mg. Addictive. Avoid if you can afford a real vaoe or just smoke a cigarette

Very satisfied customer – I love my Nicovape, it is easy to use. Before I registered the device it did not work as well as afterward ..... maybe it is my imagination, but now it is working like a dream. The only concern is the price, the government can cut us a bit of slack as we are doing the right thing by not supporting the black market. Show details
Slightly better than the previous model, but still not great – Somewhat better than it's predecessor....but... Pods don't last as long as the model before (both 35mg). The previous pods being 1.5ml whereas the new are 2ml. I could get 1.5 days out of the old ones, now I'm struggling to get a day out of one pod. I feel the way it vaporises is different to the previous model, as there is much more vapour… Read more
exhaled than before. Might explain why I'm not getting as long out of a pod, but why is a 2ml pod now cheaper than 1.5ml - It's not like a pharmaceutical company to be generous.
The vibration feature bugs me and wastes the battery
I've found the coil in the pod gets dangerously hot and has on occasion caused a spot in the plastic to show as heat affected, have included a photo, but it's hard to see. I contacted nicovape about this and am still waiting for them to call as they said they would, I reported it in early August, still waiting mid October
As far as I'm aware, in Victoria - Suburban Melbourne, Chemist Warehouse (CW) is the only stockist of the pods and they can be incredibly hard to get. I'm regularly travelling 40mins away to find them in stock. I'm frequently told that they show out of stock from the supplier, yet the CW 40mins away can get the and they use the same supplier. I have been ordering and paying in advance to secure them, sometimes I get to the chemist only to find that they "accidentally" sold them to someone else, even though they've texted that my prescription is ready for collection - this isn't a case of them putting it aside, it's ordered specifically for me, it's happened three times at two different locations.
Preferred the slim profile of the older model and the durability of the aluminium case. I've dropped the new model on occasion and have had the pod break and leak.
I've found the new model more reliable than the old one especially with the pods always registering in the device, the old one was problematic with the terminals of the device getting dirty
Not very satisfied with the product
Persistance with Nicovape Q paid off – Works fine for me. Sometimes says cartridge is empty when there is still liquid left. You can still use it even when the red light flashes. NFC feature is helpful. I coughed alot for the first 5 days but eventually worked out the inhaling technique. As a 60 a day rollie smoker I have gone to no smokes and only nicovape in only 5 days. After using… Read more
Nicovape Q20 Classic Tobacco Cartridges for a month now there are a few issues I'm having. When replacing a cartridge it will often fail to sync with the device requiring you to shake the cartridge and take off and turn it around. Also I am having problems with leaking Cartridges at the bottom connection point and getting vape juice in your mouth when inhaling. Hope this review is helpful.
The complete VAPE - That is better for you – The Nicovape 2.0 is hands down the best vape I’ve used. As a former smoker , I find it clean, delivers the perfect nicotine I need and the NFC tag that monitors usage is something I really enjoy I admit to buying the Street vapes before in desperation and the key difference is that this made well and I am not short of breath at all when using… Read more
it, compared to other inferior vapes.
Sourcing and delivery is quick and efficient and I definitely recommend this product. I am so glad to have found it
Stronger than cigarettes – I’ve smoked for over 12 years. I went from ciggies to a JUUL, to disposables and now this, and it is good for me when it comes to the nicotine/cravings. Worst part: this is just a way for the Australian Gov to ban what they can’t make money off, hence to why the ban and this product that exists. Its even stronger than cigarettes..

Amazing service from the Nicovape team – I was prescribed the new NicovapeQ50 very near to when it was first released, and as such all the pharmacies I had tried either hadn’t heard of it as yet or did not have it. It caused me significant difficulties trying to fill my prescription until I contacted the executive team, and the support team who jumped on this issue immediately and with… Read more
the upmost professionalism and care they showed to get in contact with me on a Sunday even! I was astounded by the executive team member Stuart who went above and beyond to ensure I had access to the product I was prescribed. The device and the cartridge product is absolutely fantastic. I am very much old school and the technological advancements and amazing things that can be produced in all fields continues to astound me. The product is impeccable and so easy to use, it really is if the highest quality and I consider an absolute revolution in the area of supporting people to quit smoking. Using this product I just wish the government regulators reacted sooner because I can’t believe the difference between using this product and other vapes that were being sold in the cigarette shops. I feel much healthier using this immediately, my chest feels clearer and I’m still very active coaching soccer and I am a very interactive coach who still actively plays when I train the kids and I feel I have more air in my lungs already and that this product is definitely not doing the damage the other vapes were. In this respect I believe it should and will be no time before the product is listed as a medical treatment for quitting smoking. I can’t say enough good things about the product or the personalised support and service given to me by Stuart and the team. The interaction with him has given me a new faith in the Corporate sector and other executives could really learn a lot from someone like Stuart. The most sincere gratitude from me to Stuart and the Nocovape support team. Ioannis Dimopoulos
Changed my life! – Had severe respiratory problems stemming from a 35 year smoking habit. It was embarrassing wheezing when doing nothing just breathing. Let alone trying to actually do anything to strenuous. I could not run around or play with my grandkids. Desperately after trying every kind of option from pills, chewing gum, patches or free will and after a few… Read more
scary visits to the respiratory clinic, I called the smoke free clinic and I was prescribed with Nicovape. Within 2-3 weeks my lungs could take very large breaths (forgotten what it felt like) and any cravings were easily dealt with. At first I was puffing through one cartridge a day. I think it was more the novelty factor. I now use one cartridge every 3-4 days. There is no smell when using the vape. It’s now been almost 12 months. There are no rattles in my chest. Cannot stress how much this product has improved my quality of life - including running around with the grandkids in the backyard. Please give this a go. It truly will change your life.
I wish I did this sooner – When my doctor prescribed me the Nicovape. Health department approval was needed to issue the prescription. I went from chain smoking 20-30 cigarettes a day to nothing. I have reduced the nicotine level in the nicovape from full strength down to 35mg and I feel so much healthier, I have early stage emphysema, so three years of trying to quit using… Read more
all the other products on the market did not work for me, and I developed irritation and skin burns from the nicotine patches. I do not crave smokes, nor do I experience withdrawl symptoms or the mood swings and aggressiveness that cigarette withdrawal bring. My next script will be reduction to the lowest strength available, under guidance from my drug and alcohol specialist. This product has allowed me better health and I will have quit all nicotine by using this product in less than 12 months. Definitely recommend if you are SERIOUS and committed to stopping smoking and wanting to eliminate nicotine from your life.

Problems with the pod connection/working properly? – I have noticed that a few people have had problems with the vape pod not working properly. I had this problem too, but now each time I change the pod I clean in & around the 3 connection points on the device with a tissue - which you see when you take the pod off. Sometimes they leak a little bit & the oil stops the connection stay intact. Also,… Read more
if it stops working when you've only just put a new pod on, take it off the device, turn the pod around 360 degrees & place it back on the device. It seems to work for me doing this - & I hope it helps you too. Also, when holding the device, don't hold it where the pod & device meet - it stops airflow. I noticed when I first got this new version, it vibrated every time I drew on it, but it doesn't do that anymore, probably after the first pod change. Maybe it was reminding me to go online to track my usage, but I chose not to? Not sure, just guessing with that.
Top Tier Vaping Tech – I've tried every kind of vape and the new model nicovape Q is top tier. There's no leaking liquid in your mouth and the new flavours aren't too sweet. It hacks all your senses to mimic smoking with the vibration when it's in use and gives you that all important throat hit. The technology allows you to see real-time updates and battery levels and shows your usage stats. Show details

Game changer for a chronic smoker – Have tried all NRTs and medications. Nothing worked for me. Doctor suggested nicovape, now I'm a non smoker!!!! A few setbacks along the way, often influenced by negative media attention. Sure, youth vaping is not ok but for chronic smokers (49 years) nicovape has worked. Saving thousands $$$$$ Show details

So far, not so good – While still seethingly angry about the vape ban preventing me from mixing my own, I finally succumbed and got a prescription. Trying to find a chemist who has any interest or knowledge in dispensing was the next challenge. Finally found somewhere to fill the prescription. Opened the box, looked at the instructions. "Must be used with the Nicovape… Read more
device, sold separately" .. ok, back to the chemist, who quite obviously had no idea, and ultimately told me it was "out of stock at the supplier" .. so now am out of pocket for four boxes of useless cartridges, and no nicotine unless I can break them open to put the fluid in my own vape device - or go buy a pack of cigarettes for the first time in 7 years. DEFINITELY not happy.
Extremely disappointing – Always a problem with the new version. Cartridges leak, device randomly stops working, either not holding charge or not letting enough liquid through. Tried the trouble shooting pages and nothing works. So very unhappy with this product and the portal chat is sooooo frustrating. Have wasted hours trying to get assistance only to have a… Read more
different problem the next day. And stock is near impossible to find. The original version may have leaked a few times, but at least it worked and getting stock was never an issue. Try a different brand.
Bad design – This device is not only annoying to use but also very unreliable. It worked fine for the first few weeks then now the green light stays permanently on and I get burning nicotine liquid every time I draw back. The pods are terrible and unusable. The vibration feature is extremely annoying and the fat they thought of putting a touch feature to turn the vape on and off is just plain stupid. I'd encourage people to buy another vape other than the Q2 Show details

I'm not great at quitting smoking. I've tried everything and always relapse so I guess you could say I'm a good sounding board for any product associated with giving up smoking. I've even tried every kind of tobacco product (except for snuff) with a view to at least reducing my consumption. Therefore I was very sceptical when my doctor recommended… Read more
prescription vaping by way of Nicovape Q but went along with it just to see what happened. I gradually over two weeks transitioned from hand rolled cigarettes to my Nicovape device and when my last packet of tobacco finished I felt ready to fully commit. It's now been three weeks since I smoked tobacco and a Nicovape pod lasts me four or five days so economically and health wise I'm out in front. My smoker's cough has gone. My blood pressure is significantly lower, and I feel pretty healthy too. I don't have any smoking withdrawals and for the first time feel confident that I can quit the foul habit/addiction. It's still a long road ahead of me but I believe that with Nicovape I can do it. [ Male, 76 years, smoker off and on for 60 years.]
Faulty device / spearmint flavour is always burnt – I got this vape due to the new vaping laws in australia and it is the worst vape I have ever used. The device itself was immediately faulty and not detecting that the cartridge was in every 2 to 3 hits. The invisible childlock and turn off sensor on the side of the device makes it impossible to hold the vape because you end up turning it off when… Read more
you want to use it. The flavour of the menthol cartridge is okay however, the flavour of the spearmint cartridge tastes like burnt air. I've tried 2 from my 7 cartridge pack and they immediately taste like a vape that is about to run out of juice. Would not recommend this product to anyone trying to quit.
Thumbs down to the vape supplied by the Govt – The vape cigarette supplied by the Govt. is too hard to draw on and has very little flavour. I will be returning to cigarettes, which I don't really want to do. I have been vaping for around 10 years. I don't use nicotine with my juice. I use tobacco flavoured juice and that has satisfied my habit. Show details
New Nicovape Q model is a game changer!! – New Nicovape Q device is unreal! Just picked this up an its a big improvement from the original! Draws like a cigarette, rather than a vape. Works best when you inhale into your mouth then breath in. no popping or oil! It’s really helping. It even has a little rattle! Struggled to be consistent with the old device but I’m holding with this new Q device Show details · 1
Absolute waste of money, not a viable solution – What a load of rubbish. I can only assume every positive review on here is false. I vape juice and these pathetic cartridges at $11 last one day. Also they are out of stock at the supplier and now chemist warehouse. A total joke and the govt is pushing these ridiculous vapes as their solution. As per usual, they have no clue, no facts and if this is their solution, we are well and truly in trouble. Show details

Bring back our vapes – I have to state how angry I am at the cost of the cartridges for this device, it’s absolutely disgusting that a person is charged $22 for 2 low nicotine cartridges. Considering you only get a lousy 350 puffs (so they say) & when you start you tend to go through 1 a day it actually works out cheaper to continue smoking. Bring back the tobacco… Read more
flavoured vapes to TSG, much cheaper & who does the Government think they are dictating to people their basic human rights of choice??? Clearly this was the only way they could make decent revenue at our expense yet again! So angry, this device is useless.
10 months cigarette free!!! – I quit cigarettes in Oct 2022 and have been using Nicovape since. I was smoking 15 to 20 cigarettes per day for approximately 40 years. So financially I am noticing a big improvement. I’ve gone from spending $210 per fortnight to spending $60 every month. Some of the cartridges start off as though they are not going to work, but with perseverance… Read more
I manage to get them working. Gently squeeze the vape just below the mouthpiece and draw slowly. I haven’t lost any. Also when starting a new cartridge I place a tissue over the mouth piece so I don’t get a big burst of the fluid when it pops. When I first started, a cartridge would last me for 2 days, they now last me 3-4 days. I’ve made a little stand to hold my vape, and another one for when I’m charging it. I’m also starting to find I’m having difficulty in obtaining Nicovape due to its increasing popularity, so I’m hoping that the company can churn more out.
All good except dispenser wears down – I"ve been a user for 18 months and have replaced 1 dispenser. This one now needs replacing. Otherwise excellent. In the newer Q version 1,2 or 3 of the 7 caps set leak so the device needs to be continually wiped. Annoying.
Terrible and potentially unsafe product – Potentially Hazardous. The first 2/2 cartridges, or $20 worth spit a large amount of nicotine salts into my mouth. For any smokers out there if you drink nicotine salts at 59mg it can be potentially hazardous, thankfully I only got a mild headache. Though I refuse to use the device again as nicotine poisoning is the single biggest hazard from… Read more
vaping, waste of $180.
I have been forced down this path thanks to new governement regulations as someone who smoked from the ages of 13-32 I had been vaping for 8 years. This product does not simulate smoking liek normal vape devices. Since using this and under regulations I have gone back to smoking.
A Very Honest Review – TL;DR: Successfully quit smoking using NicovapeQ but now grappling with a higher nicotine addiction than with cigarettes. Struggling to find lower nicotine doses in my city. Despite marketing claims of savings, I'm spending more weekly than on tobacco. Faulty pods (costing $13 each) and poor-quality devices contribute to a yearly expense of $2650,… Read more
surpassing my previous $1710 annual spending on tobacco. No tangible health improvements, still experiencing nicotine withdrawals when weaning off. Intent on quitting NicovapeQ and exposing its drawbacks.
Full Review: A very honest review. I must start this post by saying I have quit smoking. I never thought I would and had tried nearly everything else to quit. However, and this is the important part, I am now addicted to this product as an alternative, which in my case, has put me on a much higher dose of nicotine than I had ever previously been exposed to via cigarettes. I am now trying to move down through the strengths only to find nowhere in my major city stocks the lower doses. They market themselves by suggesting how much you might save by switching to this product over cigarettes, but I can firmly say I am spending more on this product than I ever have week to week on tobacco products.
My script comes with 3 packets, each packet contains 2 pods. I pay $66 per script which totals $11 a pod. In almost every script, at least one of the pods is faulty and unusable, which means the reality of the price is actually around $13 a pod. One pod lasts me just over 2 days.
Now shedding some light on the actual device you have to purchase with the pods. Simply, It is terrible quality. I have been using NicovapeQ for just over a year, and 2 devices have failed, simply stopped working, and 2 other devices have lost the magnets that hold the pods in place rendering it completely unusable. If you add the cost of 4 devices ($60) to the cost of the pods all up for the year I am spending around $2650, against what I used to spend on tobacco products, around $1710per year. So, in answer to the prompted question on your product review card, No, I am not saving money with your product, I am spending far more.
I fully appreciate that transitioning from something as deadly as cigarettes to this must be doing wonders from my health, but where is the data… there is no proof of this. I haven’t felt “better”. I am still addicted to nicotine; I still feel the same withdrawals when I don’t use it. And honestly, everyone is familiar with the dubious reputation of Juul, I find it challenging to view NicovapeQ differently. It is my goal to get off this product ASAP and spread the word about how much of an actual rip it is. These big pharma companies are all about the profits.
Side note, they recently increased their prices… without actually improving the product. Nice. There's much more I could delve into regarding the inadequacies of this product, but the essence remains—NicovapeQ falls short of its promises and is not the solution it claims to be.
My journey to health with the help of family & Nicovape – After my emergency brain surgery while 7 months pregnant, I started smoking. Sounds crazy, right? Especially after such a big hit to my health. But back then, with a husband, two teens, a toddler, and a new baby, all while dealing with huge anxiety, panic attacks, and deep sadness, life felt like too much. Smoking seemed to help with the stress,… Read more
even if it was a bad choice.
That was 25 years ago. Fast forward, and the joy of seeing my grandkids made me want to kick the habit for good. My son Jake was a star; he found Nicovape and got me sorted with a Telehealth doc for a prescription.
It's been 3 months now, no going back to smokes, and I've cut down my nicotine loads. After trying and failing for 25 years, I've finally done it. No more cigarettes. I'm all about enjoying my time with my grandkids now, feeling much healthier. Thanks to Nicovape, I've got my life back on track and I'm loving every minute with my family.
Pods spit liquid in mouth – Terrible experience. Been a long time vaper. Thought I would give these a shot. Got a device and 2 pack of pods. Cost me $120!! Tried the tobacco flavour. All I can say is never again! Show details
Making the seemingly impossible...possible!! – I'm 51 and a smoker since the age of 15-16! For many years, my first thought every morning has been to not smoke that first cigarette which I believe is the trigger for the next and next etc... but to no avail. With a combination of the detriment to my health, the reeking of smoke and the self conciousness that comes with that whenever near… Read more
people and the soaring cost of cigarettes, I dabbled with store bought disposable vapes. These helped me cut down somewhat but the nagging thought that these may be causing unknown harm and with the news that it has become illegal, I researched on the internet and made a tele health appointment to get a script. I was asked a few questions about previous attempts and methods used for quitting and within 10 minutes, I received an electronic prescription which was filled with no issue at my local Chemist Warehouse. I haven't looked back! Gone from 20+ cigarettes a day to some days 1! (My partner is also a smoker) I'm on week 3. The device and cartridges are extremely easy to just click together and the flavour (I opted for cool mint) is ok. I was keen to also try the classic flavour but unfortunately, the batch I purchased was faulty. With this, the service I received from the company that supplies them, was second to none! I emailed about the issue and swiftly received a reply and a replacement batch was sent within a day or so!! The gentleman I dealt with was very obliging and went to the trouble of explaining why the batch may have been faulty...commendable!! : ) I hope this helps anyone thinking of trying the product, as per the title of my review, in my case, it has made it possible!!!
Game Changer – It took me a while to completely move to vape only but I have succeeded. My preference is the cherry flavour and I find that it creates enough "smoke" to replace cigarettes for me. It is sooooo nice not stinking of cigarette smoke any more. Only dropped by 1 star because every now and again the cartridge pulls through the liquid. Wouldn't stop me from using it. Show details
It's all I can get so I'm stuck with it – Pods leak often with blurts of liquid into your mouth even when you "load them" Some pods lastv2-3 days but latest batch some only 4-5 puffs and it's flashing white. Tried to take out and reinsert same issue put new pod in and it works so very confused about what control there is on quality. Show details
Life changer! – After decades of smoking cigarettes I stopped completely in about two days. Thank you Nicovape. I’ve got nothing but respect for your amazing product. Obviously I tried everything to quit cigarettes - gums, sprays, patches, even cold turkey. The Nicovape system is discrete and reliable and easy to use. After about 6 months I’m now on the lower nicotine pods. Easy transition. I highly recommend this approach to quitting smoking. Show details
Overpriced Garbage – If you’re trying to quit smoking don’t bother with this rubbish. Products are poor quality and the nic liquid tastes like chemicals, has virtually no choice of flavours and leaks everywhere. Ridiculously expensive too. I’d suggest hitting up the internet and finding a vape shop in NZ and stock up on nic liquids and decent vape pens before the… Read more
Australian government bans these entirely. I’ve been really happy with the stuff I’ve imported from NZ.
