The Fun Factory Vim has an excellent power range that starts gently and reaches extreme strength on high.

Although there are even more powerful wands, I consider the Vim’s top strength of 7.3 out of 10 extremely intense and more than enough for me. I rarely use the top levels because the first few settings provide plenty of stimulation. It’s especially strong, considering how rumbly the Vim is – most wands that reach this strength become buzzy.

The Fun Factory Vim’s 5 preset power levels provide a gradual journey from gentle to intense. The initial strength of 1.7 out of 10 provides an enjoyable warmup without overstimulating. And steps from one setting to the next are comfortably small.

You can make the transitions even more subtle by holding down the (+) or (-) buttons. This slowly increases or decreases the motor’s power until you release the button. It allows you to access intermediate power levels beyond the Fun Factory Vim’s 5 predetermined settings. Holding the (-) button also allows you to reach an even gentler starting level.

Because the Fun Factory Vim’s power range is wide and gradual, you’ll likely find settings that suit you. The only people who might not be satisfied with the Vim’s power range are those who want as much intensity as possible. If that’s you, consider the Doxy Die Cast or BMS PalmPower Extreme, but most people will not need more power than the Vim offers.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 has an intense top power of 7.33 out of 10 and an excellent power range, starting at a gentle 1.7 out of 10 strength.

This power range is wonderful for those who can get easily overstimulated because its lowest settings are very mild. With 10 intensity levels, steps between settings are gradual and comfortable. There’s one little jump, but it’s not distracting at all. And with such a broad range, you’re very likely to find settings at your ideal strength.

While there are some wands with an even more intense top setting, the We-Vibe Wand 2’s maximum strength of 7.33 is plenty for me. It’s about 1.2x stronger than the original We-Vibe Wand, and it packs an intensity that I consider extreme. Plus, since this wand is rumbly, the vibrations are especially impactful.

If you want more intensity, consider the BMS PalmPower Extreme or Lovense Domi 2. But most people will be happy with the We-Vibe Wand 2’s power.

We rate wands with rumbly vibrations higher than those with buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer. Rumbly vibrations travel deeper and impact the entire area. But some people like buzzy vibrations that stay near the surface, so consider your preferences!

The Fun Factory Vim has outstanding rumbliness. The heavy weight in its motor creates impactful vibrations without needing to spin as fast as a lighter motor (slower speeds feel more rumbly, and faster speeds feel buzzier).

It reaches a deeper, more rumbly level on its lowest setting than any of my other wands. The first 4 of 5 settings are extremely rumbly. And even the highest power is still moderately rumbly. Most wand vibrators that reach a comparable strength are buzzier.

The Fun Factory Vim is my main wand vibrator recommendation for those who value rumbly vibrations. Although the Lelo Smart Wand 2 and Orion Grande Wand have even lower-frequency vibrations than the Fun Factory Vim, they’re worse wands overall.

If you’re familiar with the We-Vibe Tango X, a small bullet vibrator famous for being super rumbly – the Fun Factory Vim is even more rumbly, while being much stronger!

I also find the Vim’s extreme rumbliness feels particularly enjoyable with my Liberator Axis mount for hands-free stimulation during sex.

We rate wands with rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 has excellent rumbliness. Its vibrations are even deeper than the original version’s (which was famous for being a rumbly wand). And the updated wand’s settings are stronger while being more rumbly which is a great improvement.

Every power level is extremely or moderately rumbly except for the top strength, which has a neutral feel – this wand never becomes buzzy.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 also has a very similar vibration profile to the famous Magic Wand Rechargeable. If you look at the graph below, notice how the two wands’ vibrations lie along nearly the same curve. Since their vibrations are so similar, the We-Vibe Wand 2 is a great waterproof alternative to the Magic Wand Rechargeable, which has no water protection.

If you enjoy deep vibrations that travel into your body and impact a wide area, the We-Vibe Wand 2 is one of the best choices.

In the next sections, I’ll cover the We-Vibe app’s Close-Range Features, its Long-Distance Features, and its Connectivity in detail, and I’ll share videos demoing the app.

But here’s the main conclusion:

The We-Vibe app’s close-range features are decent for controlling the We-Vibe Wand 2.

The close-range features provide useful but basic control over your vibrations – mainly allowing you to select from preset patterns and change their intensity. Whereas other apps like Lovense’s provide a higher degree of customization, letting you create your own patterns in the moment, enjoy patterns other users have shared, and much more.

If in-depth control of your vibrations is a priority, the Lovense Domi 2 is a better wand for you. But if more basic control is fine, here’s what you can do in We-Vibe’s app:

In Single Vibe Mode, you select a predesigned vibration pattern, then drag the on-screen dot up or down to change the intensity.

If you want to change quickly between different vibration patterns, use the Multi-Vibe mode. Here, you can assign a different vibration pattern to each corner of the screen. When you drag the dot into a corner, that pattern starts vibrating. Drag the dot farther from the center to make the vibrations more powerful.

You used to be able to create your own pattern by drawing it on the screen, but this feature was very clunky and is no longer available. Instead, you can create your own custom “playlist” by combining pre-made patterns and adjusting their intensity and duration. We don’t know whether We-Vibe intends to bring back an improved pattern creation feature in the future.

Touch Mode lets you control the vibration intensity by moving your fingers across your screen. The faster you move, the stronger the vibrations are. It’s tiring, so I don’t use this feature.

Beat Mode lets you select a song saved on your phone, and the We-Vibe Wand vibrates to the music. Ambient Mode is similar, but the vibrations respond to the noise around you that your phone’s mic picks up. With both of these features, you can adjust whether the vibrations respond to the treble, midrange, or bass sounds, and you can adjust how strong the vibrations are.

I usually use these sound modes (especially Beat Mode) as a set-it-and-forget-it way to control my We-Vibe toys. The vibrations continually change without my active input. But it’s usually more fun with a wearable toy like the We-Vibe Chorus or We-Vibe Sync.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 (and the original version) are my only app-controlled wands with full-sized heads. The main control screens (Single Vibe and Multi Vibe) work well – they’re just basic. So if you want a full-sized wand with app control as a bonus, the We-Vibe Wand 2 is a good choice.
But if the app is your biggest priority, I recommend the Lovense Domi 2 instead. It’s a smaller wand but has better app functionality and features.

When you can get connected with your partner, the We-Vibe app’s long-distance features are pretty good – but there are some connection issues during long-distance play that are not present during nearby play (I discuss that issue in detail in the Connectivity section).

Within the app, you can send messages, photos, or video chat with your partner anywhere in the world. Your long-distance partner will use the same Single or Multi-Vibe control panels that you use during close-range play. So they can easily select a pattern and adjust its intensity.

You can mute the mic or turn off the camera if you’d prefer to provide control of your wand without sharing visuals or audio. And if your partner has a We-Vibe toy, you can control each others’ toys simultaneously!

You can save multiple partners in the app, but you can’t send out anonymous links like you can with Lovense. Anyone controlling your toy will need your We-Vibe username.

Overall, We-Vibe’s app provides all the necessary long-distance features. But Lovense’s features are more extensive, allowing anonymous play, customized settings for each partner such as allowing them to take control of your toy without requiring permission first, and more.

So if long-distance play is a major priority, the Lovense Domi 2 is a better wand (also because its long-distance connection is better – discussed next).

The We-Vibe Wand 2 has reliable connectivity with the app in nearby Bluetooth mode, but its connection during long-distance play is unreliable.

For nearby play, the wand connects quickly and easily to the app over Bluetooth. The app walks you through connecting to your toy each time, and the process works consistently. I reliably pair the We-Vibe Wand in just a few seconds. And once it’s connected, it maintains the connection well. I don’t encounter issues with it dropping its connection, even after long periods of time.

In our test, we also separated the We-Vibe Wand 2 from the connected phone by about 275 feet before it lost its connection (your own results may vary). So, the Bluetooth range is excellent.

However, the connection during long-distance play is unreliable due to a glitch in the We-Vibe app that has appeared on and off over the years. If you need reliable long-distance play, get the Lovense Domi 2 instead.

The We-Vibe app sometimes shows both partners’ status as “offline” even though we are both online. When this glitch happens, you cannot share control of your wand at all because the app won’t let you send an invite to your partner. When this issue has occurred, we’ve tried several workarounds with limited success. Neither updating the app, deleting the We-Vibe app and redownloading it, nor trying to create a new partner profile have resolved the issue. What has worked for us is this:

1. Both partners need to open the settings tab in the We-Vibe app and select Factory Reset.
2. Then when you go to connect your We-Vibe Wand 2, you will be prompted to update the vibrator’s firmware. Go ahead and update it.
3. Then, re-add your partner in the We-Vibe app. At this point, we’ve been able to connect again long-distance.

We don’t know whether this solution universally works for everyone, but it’s what has worked for us. Anytime we get connected, we’re able to stay connected. But as you can see, getting connected in the first place is often frustrating.

We-Vibe also updates their app frequently. Sometimes, it seems to take care of this issue, and we go weeks or months without experiencing the glitch. But then one day, we log into the app, and the issue returns. So we recommend Lovense if long-distance play is a priority since they have been consistently excellent for years.

For nearby play, we have had several years of consistently great connection from We-Vibe. But their long-distance connection has not proven to have the same reliability.

The Fun Factory Vim is very comfortable and extremely easy to use, especially for a full-sized wand vibrator.

Although the Vim’s motor is heavy, the overall weight is lighter than most full-sized wands, making it easier to maneuver. The fact that most of the weight is in the Vim’s head helps it naturally press the vibes deeper without needing to leverage the wand as much with your wrists.

The Vim’s handle is slim and covered with a slightly plush, textured silicone, providing a comfortable grip. The Vim’s silicone feels especially luxurious. And the vibrations are not at all distracting in my hands – they travel less into the handle than many other wands this powerful.

The head is fairly firm, which can feel less comfortable when pressing against less fleshy areas (like your pubic bone). But the Vim’s flexible neck helps keep it comfortable despite its firmness. And the wide head (2.4 inches) spreads the contact comfortably over a broad surface area.

The Fun Factory Vim’s controls are excellent and easy to use too.

It turns on and off with a simple press of the button (no need to hold it down like several wands require). But more importantly, it has separate buttons to increase and decrease power. You do not have to cycle through all the settings to return to a previous strength. And if you want more gradual increments between intensity levels, you can hold the (+) or (-) button to change the power slowly.

The only thing that could improve its controls is an additional button to move through the vibration patterns. You change vibration patterns by using the (+) and (-) buttons. Once you’ve reached the top strength, clicking the (+) button again will move you into the vibration patterns. You cannot alter the pattern’s strength since you use the (+) and (-) buttons to change vibration patterns. This is not a big concern since most people rarely use vibration patterns.

You can also use the Fun Factory Vim’s travel lock to keep it from accidentally turning on in storage. Just press and hold the “Fun” and “-” buttons together for 2 seconds to lock it. Hold “Fun” and “+” to unlock.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 is very comfortable and easy to use.

This wand has better controls than most wand vibrators, with four primary buttons. It has two separate buttons to increase and decrease power. And two more buttons allow you to move forward and backward through the patterns. Most other wands only have a single button to rotate through patterns, which can be frustrating if you accidentally click once too far.

In my opinion, the buttons are an improvement from the original We-Vibe Wand’s joystick, which was quite stiff. So, I often had to use two hands to adjust the power of the original We-Vibe Wand. And it was easy to overshoot your intended power level. This isn’t so with the updated version.

The buttons to change the patterns also feel distinctly different from those to adjust the power, which is rare. So I don’t accidentally change the pattern when trying to increase the intensity because you can tell the correct button just from its feel.

The rigid, curved handle and slightly flexible neck make it easy to leverage the wand and apply pressure. And the head’s slight plushness keeps this pressure against your body comfortable – though it’s not quite as soft as the Magic Wand Rechargeable’s silicone.

A slight annoyance is that the handle’s curve rests awkwardly in my hand if I use it with the curve facing toward me. In this orientation, the handle only contacts the outside edge of my palm and the space between my thumb and index finger, so the pressure is not dispersed evenly along the full length of my palm as most handles do. It may feel a bit awkward – especially if you’re using it for a long time.

I prefer using it with the curve pointing away from me because gripping it this way is more comfortable. This also points the tapered section of the head towards me, which is great for more focused pressure, which I enjoy.

The vibrations travel some into your hand, especially on the highest power. It’s less than most wands this strong, but for those who are already sensitive to this, it may be slightly distracting if you use this wand for an extended period.

The shape of the We-Vibe Wand 2’s head was updated, and I love the new design because it’s more versatile. The original version’s head was a more typical cylindrical shape, so you got broad pressure from the side of the head or more focused pressure using the lip.

The new wand’s head offers even more variation because it’s wider on the front side, narrower on the back side, and still has the lip at the top. So using the front of the head, you get very broad contact that blankets your entire vulva. The tapered backside provides a long stretch of slimmer surface area that’s between broad and focused stimulation. And the lip at the top lets you limit contact to a more precise spot.

The Fun Factory Vim works great during sex. Though it’s larger than I typically prefer during sex, the Vim’s rumbliness allows the vibrations to travel deep into my body in an effective way that’s not overstimulating.

So even though I can’t fit the Vim’s head directly near my clit in face-to-face positions where space is limited, the vibrations are still effective because they travel to my clit anyway!

Spooning and Doggystyle positions with the Vim are awesome! The head comfortably distributes pressure and vibrations, and I can grip the handle at multiple points along the handle for excellent leverage. The long handle is especially useful because you can prop it on the bed in these positions if your arm gets tired.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 is excellent to use during sex.

It’s fantastic in the Spooning position because you have plenty of space in front of you to maneuver the handle, and the tall head applies comfortable, evenly distributed pressure.

Even in positions facing your partner where space is limited, you can still get good contact in pretty tight spots because the cylindrical head shape and tapered section help it fit more easily than large, rounded heads. And even when you can’t fit the head right near your clit, the rumbly vibrations travel well in any position, so the stimulation is still excellent.

The only position I found a bit trickier to use the We-Vibe Wand 2 is Doggystyle. The wand is a little heavy, and since the handle is somewhat short, you can’t easily prop the base against the bed to support the weight. However, you can put a pillow under the wand if your arm gets tired from holding it up.

The Fun Factory Vim has excellent noise levels. It’s the best option for those looking to balance power and discretion. Only weaker wand vibrators are quieter than the Fun Factory Vim.

For a wand this powerful, the decibel readings were especially low.

And during our testing, I could use most of the power settings in the bedroom without my partner being able to hear from the other side of the door. My partner could only hear the top level. And even then, my partner noted that he could barely make out the Vim’s sound. The vibrations are so deep that they’re unnoticeable unless you’re trying to listen for it.

Turning on a box fan easily masks the noise if you’re worried.

Since the vibrations are so rumbly, they have an excellent, deep sound that isn’t distracting. So, if you’re easily annoyed by noise, the Vim is a great choice!

The We-Vibe Wand 2 has excellent noise levels, especially considering its power.

When we tested the wand’s noise while I used it in the bedroom, my partner could not hear it from the other side of the door on any of its settings, including the highest power. It’s fantastic if you need something discreet without sacrificing power.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 also has a unique optional feature called Smart Silence, which prevents the wand from vibrating unless pressed against your body. This can also be helpful for discretion since many toys are louder when vibrating in the open air than when pressed to your body (In our tests, it was quiet enough even without using the Smart Silence feature, but this gives you an extra level of reassurance).

The Smart Silence feature works well. The vibrations start and stop instantly upon pressing it to my body and lifting it off. And it can tell whether the head is in contact with me or some other random object. If you do not like this feature, it’s easy to turn off.

The Fun Factory Vim has fantastic compatibility with wand attachments. Most attachments are designed for wands with a full-sized head like the Fun Factory Vim.

You can find compatible attachments for various stimulation, including clitoral, G-spot, penis, prostate, and dual-stimulation. You can see all the attachments I’ve tested for compatibility with the Fun Factory Vim here.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 works wonderfully with wand attachments.

Its head size is close to major full-sized wands like the Magic Wands or Doxy Wands, so most attachments are designed for heads about this size. You can find a ton of compatible attachments that offer a broad range of stimulation.

Unfortunately, the We-Vibe Wand 2 does not come with its own attachments like the original version did. However, the old We-Vibe Wand’s attachments are compatible with the new one!

To see all the attachments we’ve tested for compatibility with the We-Vibe Wand 2, head to our wand attachment compatibility table here.

The Fun Factory Vim has outstanding compatibility with Liberator’s wand mounts for hands-free play. I test all my wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts. Both work very well with the Vim.

The Axis holds your wand while you lie across the mount on your stomach. I like using the Axis to hold my wand to my clit during sex while my partner penetrates from behind. The Axis grips the Vim’s handle firmly, keeping it securely in place.

And although curved or angled wands (like the BMS PalmPower Extreme) contact my clit more firmly, the Vim still maintains great clitoral contact and stimulates well. At 2.4 inches, the Vim’s head is one of the widest, which helps it reach my clit easily. And the exceptional rumbliness is a huge bonus during hands-free use. The rumbly vibrations travel deep and stimulate my clit even if the head is positioned away from my clit.

The Fun Factory Vim works even better with the Liberator Wanda because you have more variety. If you press the handle down far enough, you can enjoy the vibrations while fully sitting on the Wanda mount, which I love during alone time. Or you can position it farther up in the mount and straddle it on your hands and knees, which works great for hands-free stimulation during penetration from behind with a partner.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 is fantastic in my wand mounts. We test our wands with the Liberator Axis and Wanda mounts for hands-free play.

You can face the curve in either direction when placed in the Wanda mount, which makes the We-Vibe Wand 2 especially versatile. One direction positions the wand’s head higher up so you can kneel over the mount for penetration from behind. Or face the wand the other way so the head lies just above the mount’s fabric – this way, you can comfortably sit directly on the mount for hands-free stimulation.

It also works well in the Liberator Axis. The tall head and slight upward curve help it reach your clit more easily than other wands. And the broad head provides plenty of good surface area for comfortable, enjoyable stimulation. It doesn’t provide as firm of pressure as a more sharply angled head like the BMS PalmPower Extreme’s, but it’s still excellent. The deep, rumbly vibrations also travel deep to stimulate really well.

The Fun Factory Vim is rechargeable and has good battery life. During our testing, it lasted about an hour and a half, continuously vibrating on its maximum power. Since it’s such a powerful wand, it’s also likely that you’ll use its lower and middle levels quite a bit. So your actual runtime will likely be longer.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 is rechargeable and has a fantastic battery life, lasting 147 minutes on its highest power in our test. This is well above average and plenty of time for me. I can use it multiple times between charges.

It comes with We-Vibe’s typical USB magnetic charging cable.

The Fun Factory Vim has outstanding build quality and feels exceptionally luxurious. The silicone is slightly plush, grippy, and textured – all of which feel comfortable and luxurious.

The solid weight of the motor makes it feel durable. The head is also heavier than the handle, so it naturally tips the wand down at the angle you want. The Vim seems very solid, and the flexibility in the neck is the perfect amount to keep it comfortable without feeling like it will break when I press firmly.

The We-Vibe Wand 2 has excellent build quality. The buttons feel much higher quality than the joystick control of the original We-Vibe Wand. The motor sounds better and doesn’t rattle like the older one.

The silky silicone coats most of the toy and feels very luxurious, with plush sections on the head that are really comfortable. It feels like a solid and well-built toy. The neck seems very secure too – I apply pressure without feeling worried I’ll damage the wand.
