Had a look at that litecigusa like you recommended, and honestly it comes out to almost the same thing. In fact the V2 batteries are better, 380 mAh vs 280.

you have to compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges. 
I stand by what I said, V2 is the best ecig for beginners! when you start refilling and getting into real vaporizers then it's a different story. 
But for someone starting in vapign, V2 is ideal.
