The GeekVape Sonder Q 2 offers an incredible alternative to disposable vapes for recent ex-smokers and regular disposable vapers. Here, we’ll be taking a deep dive into the device and its features to help you decide if it’s the right vape kit for you!
The original GeekVape Sonder Q was a rousing success: a cheap, refillable pod kit to replace your disposable vape habit, all backed by a decent battery and an unobtrusive interface.
Now, the GeekVape Sonder Q 2 is here with a host of upgrades, including a larger battery, a sleeker design, and a colourful RGB indicator light. It’s cheaper, too.
It’s truly never been easier to quit smoking or switch from disposable vapes.
I was lucky enough to get to try the Sonder Q 2 out myself—so, let’s take a closer look at the device and my impressions!
The GeekVape Sonder Q 2 is designed for new vapers and those transitioning away from disposable vapes. Supporting both MTL and RDL vaping styles, it houses a large 1350mAh battery and features a maximum output of 30W, plus adjustable airflow and a hassle-free interface.

| Device | Price | Battery | Weight | Dimensions |

Much like its predecessor, the GeekVape Sonder Q 2 is a sleek and buttonless refillable pod vape aimed at casual vapers, newbies, and those looking to transition away from costly disposables.
I didn’t get to try the original Sonder Q, but I’ve heard great things. Namely, vapers loved the pen-style shape, the decent battery size, and of course, the price.
This time around, GeekVape has improved upon all of these facets—yes, including the price. The Q 2 is a quid cheaper than the original Sonder Q.
In keeping with the disposable style, the GeekVape Sonder Q 2 comes in very minimal packaging with no supplied charging cable, though you can use whatever USB-C cables you have lying around.
It comes in a plastic bag inside a small box containing only the device, pod, and teeny-tiny user manual.
The manual is essentially a palm-sized brochure with a few bullet points on it—not detailed in the slightest, though that won't bother most people.
The Sonder Q 2 features a sleek, no-nonsense design made to replicate the look and feel of a disposable vape. I opted for the Olive Green finish. The colour is a bit duller than I was expecting.
The front side of the device features the “Sonder” logo with the RGB light set in the “O” of the logo. The back side of the device has the Sonder icon in the middle and the legal and battery information along the bottom.
On the left side, you’ll find the airflow adjustment toggle, and on the right, the USB-C port. The bottom of the Sonder Q 2 is made of a non-slip plastic so you can store it upright with ease.
And, of course, the pod sits comfortably and firmly inside the top of the battery, with full E-Liquid visibility so you can keep an eye on your E-Liquid levels.
All in all, there’s not much to say about the design of the Sonder Q 2, other than the fact that it feels quite sturdy given the low price. It’s a blissfully hassle-free vape designed for vapers who want something as unobtrusive as a disposable, and it succeeds in that aim.
There’s very little interface when it comes to the GeekVape Sonder Q 2. There are no buttons or menus to configure, and no settings to mess with. It’s inhale activated, meaning you only have to puff on the mouthpiece to operate the vape.
This is a far cry from the various “Pro” vape models I’ve been reviewing lately with their variable wattage and menu screens.
The Sonder Q 2 features a cool rainbow-coloured LED light while vaping, but other than that, there’s not much to see here.
The RGB light on the front of the device will glow with a pretty spinning rainbow while you vape.
Now, as I mentioned, the user manual for this kit is incredibly brief. When I first started using the vape, I really couldn’t tell where the battery capacity was, since there are no obvious indicators and there’s no information on it in the user manual.
The light will simply spin its gorgeous rainbow when you’re trying to figure out if your vape is almost dead.
Funnily enough, I never tried removing the pod. Because the pods have a clamshell top-fill port, you don’t have to remove the pod to refill, so I’ve just left it in the entire time I’ve had it.
Then, I realised that’s how you check the battery capacity. When you remove and re-insert the pod, the light will glow either green, blue, or red to signify your current battery capacity. However, I don’t know what blue or red means in relation to the battery—does it mean 25%, or 10%, or something in between?
The world may never know. This information isn’t in the user manual, so you’re left to guess.
The Sonder Q 2 has a pretty hefty battery—1350mAh—so it’s easy to lose track of how much you’ve used the vape. It’d be good to know what these light signals mean. I understand wanting to cater to casual vapers with the size of the user manual and the ease of use, but this feels like an oversight on GeekVape’s part.
The GeekVape Sonder Q 2 features an adjustable airflow toggle along the side below the pod.
The airflow toggle has 3 equally sized holes inside, allowing you to fully tailor your draw to suit your vaping style. I keep mine set about halfway.
The airflow switch is small and fairly sturdy, and I haven’t had any issues with it changing in transit. The switch itself sticks out a bit from the side of the device, so it would feasibly move if you’re walking around with it in your pocket or handbag, but I haven’t had this issue personally.
Overall, it’s a really decent airflow adjustment switch. Adjustable airflow is an absolute must for me on any vape kit I use, so I’m happy to see that this kit has the feature despite the price.
The GeekVape Sonder Q 2 houses a large 1350mAh battery, which is quite hefty compared to the battery sizes of other similarly priced vapes. This just goes to show that cheap vape kits don't have to have a crap battery.
I remember the Uwell Caliburn X—a ritzy adjustable-wattage version of the original Caliburn, which retailed for £35 but only had an 850mAh battery. Sheesh.
The Sonder Q 2 offers a really nice battery capacity on par with mid-range models like the Vaporesso XROS 4 Nano.
However, the Sonder Q 2 can only be charged with a 1A current (as opposed to 2A fast charging), so charging takes roughly twice as long. It can take about an hour to recharge your Sonder Q 2.
Still, given how cheap the kit is, you could easily buy 2 and keep one fully charged at all times. Then, when it’s time to recharge, simply swap your pod to the other one. It’s only £8.99, after all.
So, all in all, great battery life, though I wish it offered fast charging. That would really take this kit over the top for me.
First and foremost, the GeekVape Sonder Q 2 only comes with 1 pod included, which is a con for me. I know it keeps the price low and the packaging slim and tidy, but personally, I’d prefer another pod.
The included pod has a 0.8Ω (ohm) resistance, which is a nice middle-ground for both MTL and RDTL vapers.
The GeekVape Q pods used in the Sonder Q 2 have my absolute favourite kind of fill port: clamshell top-filling.
Instead of dislodging a tiny silicone plug, contorting your hands to refill, then getting vape juice on your fingers when you close the fill port, these pods have a mouthpiece which can be snapped off to reveal the top-fill port. Simply refill then snap the mouthpiece back on, and you’re golden.
I use a Vaporesso XROS vape every day because of how much I prefer this type of fill port, but since the new XROS pods came out, the mouthpieces are much more flimsy and prone to cracking, which causes the pods to leak.
I wish the pods I used every day were as sturdy as these GeekVape Q pods.
The mouthpiece on these pods is made of a thick plastic that sits perfectly in place, with no cracking issues or leakage. I’m a big fan of the construction here.
With that being said, one thing I dislike about the pods is that the coils aren’t mesh, so they don’t deliver the same kind of flavour intensity that you’d get from a similar kit. Honestly, we’re almost in 2025 now—mesh is the way to go. I didn’t realise there were still MTL vape kits being made with standard wire coils.
Simply put, mesh coils have become the standard for pod kits lately. This is because they have more surface area to heat up the E-Liquid, which means more even heating, more vapour per puff, and consequently, more flavour.
Wire coils are the “standard,” though most pod kit manufacturers have shifted to producing only mesh coils for their increased favour and vapour production.
I didn’t expect to notice much of a discrepancy, but I did. It wasn’t a huge difference, but still—I’d have expected GeekVape to be using mesh coils by now.
Replacement pods for the device are sold in packs of 3, with a 0.6Ω (ohm) resistance available for flavour-hungry RDTL vapers and a 1.2Ω (ohm) option for those who are used to disposable vapes or are transitioning away from smoking.
Vaping the GeekVape Sonder Q 2 is easy as pie. Simply fill it up, wait 5 minutes for the E-Liquid to seep into the coil, then give it a puff.
And once the vape starts to taste funny or burnt or the flavour starts to fade—which should take about a week or two—simply discard the entire pod and replace it with a new one.
The Sonder Q 2 really is an incredibly easy vape to use, making it perfect for beginners and regular disposable users. It offers both RDTL and MTL airflow options, so even greedy RDTL vapers can enjoy the Sonder Q 2.
Once you’ve got your airflow set how you like it, it’s smooth sailing with the Sonder Q 2. I love how there are no settings or menus to fiddle with.
The GeekVape Sonder Q 2 is ideal for regular disposable users looking to ditch their habit before the upcoming disposable vape ban comes into effect in June 2025. It’s also an excellent choice for new vapers and those transitioning away from smoking, as it offers a really easy entry point into vaping with minimal fuss.
And if you’re a regular vaper who’s used to the more complicated set-ups, the Sonder Q 2 is a great choice if you need something to take with you on your commute or on nights out. For the price, it’s a handy backup vape that packs plenty of power.
Many smokers are finally making the switch to vaping—including smokers with disabilities and those above retirement age. Would-be vapers with a visual impairment or dexterity issues may struggle using some vape kits, so I like to ensure I cover this information in every review.
Oddly enough, the GeekVape Sonder Q 2 might be the most accessible vape I’ve reviewed all year. It has no buttons to press and no tiny screens to read, and the fill port is really easy to access if you have issues with grip or arthritis in your hands. The E-Liquid level is as easy to see as it could be, given that most E-Liquids are transparent. It honestly ticks all the boxes.
All in all, if you’re looking for an accessible vape for whatever reason, the Sonder Q 2 really is the way to go. I can’t recommend it highly enough for these users.
The GeekVape Sonder Q 2 has some excellent pros as well as some notable cons. Bearing in mind the price point of this vape—a measly £8.99—this really is an excellent little vape despite its few drawbacks.
Overall Rating: 4.5 stars
The GeekVape Sonder Q 2 really is the disposable vape alternative to beat now. For just £8.99, you can get everything you need to quit smoking or switch from disposables, minus the E-Liquid. It’s small yet sturdy, cheap yet well-made, and most importantly, it’s super easy to use.
The construction is fantastic and the pods are really sturdy, though there are a few cons for the device—namely, the battery indicator and the wire build coils inside the pods.
All in all, though—considering the price—you’re getting a heck of a lot of value for money with the GeekVape Sonder Q 2. If you’re new to vaping or you’re looking to swap out your disposable vape habit, I can’t recommend this kit highly enough.
