MEMERS V40000 Review: Big Puff Count, No Recharge Needed

Design & Build Quality

The MEMERS V40000 has a shape and size typical of disposable vapes being released these days. It’s rectangular, with rounded sides and corners, and it’s rather compact for a 40,000 puff device.

At 93mm tall, 51mm wide, and 26mm thick, it’s about as small as it gets for a high-puff device. The 99g weight is a bit heavy, but not so heavy that it’s too much to carry around in my pocket.

The body is made entirely of plastic, but it’s a solid-feeling device. There’s no flex in the body when squeezed, and the mix of black plastic and the 3D curved screen makes it look and feel more premium than the $15 USD price tag.

Speaking of the 3D curved screen, let’s talk about it. It’s not a digital screen (boo), but rather a 3D graphic that changes based on the angle you look at it from. I haven’t seen a 3D image like this since I was a kid, so it’s a retro kind of design for me.

There are four different 3D graphics, but they aren’t flavor-specific. Any of the flavors can have any of the four designs, so it’s a surprise which graphic you’ll get. There’s a hooded skull figure holding a ball of energy, a skeleton football match, a space/astronaut graphic, and an alien-themed graphic. They’re all pretty cool, but I think the astronaut is my favorite.

In addition to the 3D effect, the graphic lights up each time the device is activated. MEMERS calls this ‘dynamic color-switching’; I call it LED lighting, but tomato, tomato, right? The lighting rotates through several colors and looks pretty neat overall. However, there’s no way to turn it off, which is disappointing.

Below the 3D graphic are individual battery and ejuice indicators. These light up each time that you take a draw, and stay lit for a few seconds. However, in a dark room, it can be a little confusing because the LED lighting for the 3D graphic bleeds a bit into the indicators. If you’re not paying attention, you can mistake the LED lighting, let’s say green, for the battery and ejuice levels.

This light bleed is much dimmer than the LED indicators, so it is unlikely to be a serious issue. However, if you want the correct readout, make sure you look at the LED indicators immediately after you take a draw. 

Features

The simplicity of the MEMERS V40000 sets it apart from the similarly named WuKong V40000. It does not have power level adjustment, airflow control, or a digital display. What it does offer is up to 40,000 puffs and a recharge-free vaping experience.

The V40000 comes prefilled with 15ml of ejuice and packs a 2600mAh battery. The battery and ejuice levels are indicated by individual LED indicators, which light up green, blue, or red. The battery and ejuice seem to drain at a similar pace; I’ve never had them light up different colors.

• Green: Battery/Ejuice at 31-100%
• Blue: Battery/Ejuice at 11-30%
• Red: Battery/Ejuice at 0-10%

When the battery and ejuice are finished, the indicators flash red, and the V40000 will not fire.

Like some of MEMERS other devices, the V40000 has a “MITS Platform” dual mesh coil inside. This is their in-house coil platform that is said to deliver consistent flavor and maintain peak performance even as the battery level depletes, but I’ll be the judge of that!

Flavors

There are ten flavors available for the MEMERS V40000. Some of these are shared with the WuKong V40000 (bolded), but most are new. These flavors are:

• Blue Razz Ice
• Mexico Mango
• Miami Mint
• Mixed Berry
• Peach Ice
• Pina Colada
• Sour Apple
• Strawberry Ice
• Watermelon Ice
• White Gum

I’m going to describe how five of these flavors taste to me and what I think of them. However, remember that just because I like a flavor, this does not mean that you will like it. Similarly, if I dislike a flavor, this does not mean that you will not like it. This is solely my subjective opinion.

Pina Colada

This tastes just like a pina colada, only sweeter. This flavor is addictive and hard to put down once I start vaping on it. If you like the drink, you’ll like this flavor.

Watermelon Ice

Although this is a flavor shared with the WuKong V40000, this version is stronger, and the watermelon flavor is bolder and sweeter. There’s little cooling, to the point that it’s almost imperceivable, so it’s a good watermelon flavor if you’re not into ice vapes.

Sour Apple

This Sour Apple flavor is a bit tart, a little bitter, and a little sweet. The tartness and sweetness could be stronger, but as it stands, the mix makes for an enjoyable apple vape. This is for you if you like apple flavors but don’t want an apple candy flavor.

Peach Ice

This flavor reminds me of the Georgia Peach flavor for the WuKong V40000. It’s sweet with a pleasant peach flavor, but doesn’t taste candied. It’s a natural peach taste with just a hint of cooling. This is one of my favorite flavors for the V40000.

Blue Razz Ice

This is the sweetest of the five flavors I tried. It has a candy taste with a good amount of tang, and the taste lingers on my tongue after I exhale. If you’re like me and not super into the sweet flavors, it’s probably not a flavor that can be vaped all day.

How long do they last

For the last two weeks, I’ve been using all five flavors for my testing, but I’ve been using two more often than the others: Watermelon Ice and Peach Ice. As I write this review, I’ve completely drained both devices.

I vape often throughout the day, so I’m impressed that these non-rechargeable devices have lasted nearly fourteen days. If I were only using a single device, I’d guess it would probably last just under a week. Still not bad.

Now, did I vape 80,000+ puffs in the last two weeks (40,000 puffs per device)? Certainly not. I vape a lot, but not that much.

If you take longer draws like I do, don’t expect to get the 40,000 claimed puffs out of the V40000. But if you take shorter puffs, reaching the 40,000 puff count might be possible.

How do they vape?

I’ve been loving the simplicity of the V40000. It’s such a good draw that I haven’t missed the adjustability aspect as much as I thought I would. The warmth of the vapor is good, and the 50mg/ml nicotine strength makes these very satisfying to vape on.

The mouth-to-lung draw is also excellent. Not too loose and not too tight, so it’s perfect if you like a ‘regular’ MTL draw. If you want a tighter draw, you can cover the large airflow hole on the bottom of the device, but I didn’t find that necessary. 

The draw activation works well, and I haven’t had any issues with getting a puff. I also haven’t had any problems with auto-firing, leaking, or malfunctioning, which is all good news.

Verdict

The MEMERS V40000 is an excellent beginner disposable vape. It’s also ideal for vapers who don’t want to deal with a bunch of settings and adjustments and just want a disposable vape that is satisfying to vape on.

I like that the simplicity of the V40000 doesn’t take away from how well it vapes. The draw is a good mouth-to-lung, so I didn’t feel that it needed to be adjusted. The warmth of the vapor and power level of the V40000 are also just right, so I didn’t feel like I needed a stronger draw to get an enjoyable vape out of it.

This bare-bones experience won’t suit everyone, especially if you’re the type of vaper who likes to really dial in your draw. The 3D graphic image and LED lighting might also turn some away from the V40000. But overall, I like this device, and I’ll continue to use my remaining units as backup devices for as long as they last.
