Description
TL;DR: The Vaporesso Gen 200 Vape Kit pairs a 220W dual-battery mod that weighs just 76g with the award-winning iTank and GTi mesh coils. It suits sub-ohm vapers who want big power without a brick in their pocket. Not ideal for beginners after a small pod kit. Note: it takes two 18650 batteries, sold separately.
Key Facts
The Vaporesso Gen 200 fires from 5W to 220W using the AXON chipset.
The Vaporesso Gen 200 runs on two 18650 batteries, not included, and weighs only 76g without cells.
The kit includes the iTank (2ml UK TPD) with GTi 0.2 ohm and GTi 0.4 ohm mesh coils.
The iTank uses COREX heating technology and won Vaping360’s Best Sub-Ohm Tank award in 2022.
Modes include Pulse, F(t) and DIY, with a 0.96 inch TFT screen and 2A USB-C charging.
The Vaporesso Gen 200 costs £32.99 at Vape Online Store as of July 2026.
The Vaporesso Gen 200 Vape Kit fixes the thing people dislike most about dual-battery mods: the weight. At 76g before cells, it is among the lightest twin-18650 mods ever made, yet it still fires to 220W. A box mod is a larger vape with removable batteries and full wattage control, and this one pairs with the iTank, the tank reviewers at Planet of the Vapes and Vaping360 rate as Vaporesso’s best. Versus the SMOK R-Kiss 2, the Gen 200 is lighter with a better tank; the R-Kiss 2 counters with its fire bar and a lower price.
Key Specs Customers Check
Batteries: dual 18650, sold separately. Two high-amp cells are required before the kit fires.
Output: 5 to 220W. The included coils peak at 75W, so the mod never breaks a sweat.
Weight: 76g without cells. A rubberised, comfortable grip that carries like a much smaller device.
Tank: iTank, 2ml (UK TPD). Top fill, leak-resistant design and smooth bottom airflow.
Coils: GTi 0.2 ohm (60 to 75W) and GTi 0.4 ohm (50 to 60W) included. COREX heating for fast, even flavour.
Modes: Pulse, F(t), DIY. DIY lets you draw your own power curve across the puff.
Screen: 0.96 inch TFT. Clear wattage, battery and coil data.
Charging: USB-C at 2A. Quick, though an external charger is kinder to the cells.
Pick Your Inhale: DTL by design
DTL (direct-to-lung) is a fully open lung inhale for maximum vapour, and the Gen 200 is built for it. MTL (mouth-to-lung), the tight cigarette-style draw, is not this kit’s job. The coil sets the feel:
GTi 0.4 ohm (included): DTL at 50 to 60W. The balanced starting coil; strong flavour with sensible battery use.
GTi 0.2 ohm (included): DTL at 60 to 75W. Bigger, warmer clouds when you want the full experience.
Other GTi options (sold separately): 0.15 to 0.5 ohm to tune cloud size against battery life.
Coils and E-Liquid Pairing
Sub-ohm coils need thick juice. Use a 70VG shortfill; VG (vegetable glycerine) is the thick part of e-liquid that makes vapour, and thin liquid floods low-resistance coils. Browse 100ml shortfill e-liquids at 3 to 6mg freebase nicotine. Nic salts and 50/50 liquids belong in pod kits; at these wattages they turn harsh and burn through nicotine too fast.
Batteries, Coil Life and Running Cost
Two good 18650 cells last a full day at 50 to 60W. The cells are not included, so add two Molicel P26A 18650 batteries at £5.49 each to your order. GTi coils last one to two weeks and are among the cheapest sub-ohm coils in the store: the Vaporesso GTi replacement coils 5-pack at £9.95 works out under £2 per coil, so weekly running costs sit around £5 to £8 with e-liquid.
Compatibility and Refills
The iTank takes only GTi coils, available from 0.15 to 0.5 ohm. GT coils (for the older NRG tanks) and GTX coils (for Vaporesso pod kits) do not fit, so check the packet says GTi. The mod has a standard 510 connection and drives tanks up to about 28mm, so it can run other sub-ohm tanks later. Buying spares? This kit page covers the full Gen 200 vape kit; the mod-only version without the iTank is listed separately.
Best Colours
The Gen 200 comes in five finishes with a soft-touch coating. Black is the discreet choice for pocket and work carry, and Grey keeps the same low profile with a touch more character. Silver suits vapers who want a clean, technical look, Blue is the middle ground that stays smart, and Pink stands out and tends to be picked by vapers who want their kit unmistakably theirs.
How to Set Up the Vaporesso Gen 200
Open the battery door and insert two 18650 cells, matching the polarity marks.
Screw the iTank onto the 510 plate and check the preinstalled coil is tight.
Slide the top cap open and fill with 70VG e-liquid.
Wait 10 minutes so the coil primes, meaning the cotton soaks fully before first fire.
Press the fire button five times to switch on, start at 50W on the 0.4 ohm coil, and work up until the flavour peaks.
How to Make It Last Longer
Buy the two cells as a matched pair and always charge and use them together.
Check battery wraps monthly. A torn 18650 wrap must be replaced before use.
Never fire a dry tank. Refill before the liquid drops below the coil ports.
Stay inside the coil’s wattage band. Pushing the 0.4 ohm past 60W burns it early.
Use the DIY curve to soften the start of each puff and stretch coil life.
Clean the 510 threads weekly so the tank seats and reads correctly.
Vaporesso Gen 200 Price Comparison
As of July 2026, UK pricing for the Gen 200 varies widely, roughly £20 to £35 depending on the edition and tank version supplied. Vape Online Store lists the kit at £32.99. Where this kit earns its keep is the running cost: GTi coils at under £2 each are cheaper per coil than the SMOK Mini V2 series in the R-Kiss 2, and the 76g body is the lightest way to carry 220W. For a cheaper entry into dual-battery vaping, the Vaporesso Gen S at £19.99 is the value alternative with the older GT platform.

Vaporesso Gen 200 FAQs
Does the Vaporesso Gen 200 come with batteries?
No. It needs two high-amp 18650 batteries, sold separately. Add a pair to your order or the kit will not fire.
Which coils fit the Gen 200 iTank?
GTi coils only, from 0.15 to 0.5 ohm. GT and GTX coils belong to other Vaporesso platforms and do not fit.
Is the Gen 200 really 220W?
Yes, the AXON chip fires to 220W despite the Gen 200 name. The included coils peak at 75W, so there is huge headroom.
Gen 200 or Gen S: which should I buy?
The Gen 200 for the newer iTank, USB-C and the lighter body; the Gen S for the lowest price. Both are 220W dual-18650 mods.
Is the iTank any good?
Reviewers at Planet of the Vapes and Vaping360 rate it as Vaporesso’s best tank, and it won Vaping360’s Best Sub-Ohm Tank award. The GTi coils are widely judged a clear step up from the older GTX series.
What e-liquid should I use?
70VG shortfills at 3 to 6mg. Save nic salts and 50/50 liquids for pod kits.
How long do GTi coils last?
One to two weeks for most vapers. A burnt or dull taste means it is time to swap; at under £2 a coil, it is a cheap fix.
