Here is my take on 4 of Vaporesso devices the xcross pro, lux xr Max , Armour G and Armour S.
Each individual who vapes is different and has different tastes and expectations so to cater for each individual different devices are created so here is my own personal take on these devices I have tried.
Over the years I have tried several brands so what I feel is great experience from my own perspective.
The vaping scene exploded with the introduction of disposables the case of buying a pre-filled device no fuss already charged devices small and sleek full of double concentrated flavours this left a dilemma in the market for those producing refillable devices trying to win consumers over and convince them refillable is better on the pocket and the environment now that market of disposables is losing itās appeal due to countries banning them due to environmental issues and control of nicotine strengths ect,
Vaperesso is the only one brand that help me kick the nasty cigs due to being able to taste those awesome flavours with the best coils on the market and to produce great clouds whenever the notions took me for huge clouds and I will be a loyal fan hopefully for years to come as it continues to improve. The creation of different devices and shapes to cater for every whim.
So letās start with the xcross pro I constantly rave about a no fuss device Max 30 watts with built in super pulse.precise power adjustment if using a 0.4ohm pod ( can adjust wattage manually up-to 30 watts ) wide array of 2ml/3ml pods built in coils compatible with all xcross series giving eco , norm,power settings on pods smart mode detection of detected coil/pod for optimal wattage ,The sleek compact design.
The fast charging and 1200mAh battery I thought I lost one so purchased a second as I couldnāt do without now I own two lol
Now here is the niggles I personally feel need improvement ( already discussed in another post about upcoming xcross 5 )
If mouthpiece cracked or not seated properly it can leak liquid into device leaving device unusable.
Having to throw away a perfect pod to change coil is a waste and impacts environment.
No menu to turn pulse mode on/off or mention of it in menu.
But then it is just to be a simple device making menu easy it is on auto.
Only device wattage adjustments capable on 0.4 ohm coil/pod call it genius mode if you like where you can adjust wattage manually on any pod other than 0.4ohm giving options of turning off norm ,eco,power settings.
But only niggles not a deal breaker as Iād buy another if I needed replacing.
Next up is the Lux Xr Max
Max 80 watts
Ultra high density battery at 2800 mAh on the fantastic gtx coils. Compatibility on other devices.
Awesome device creates great dense clouds, amazing flavour can last a day or more usage depending on wattage used if using 50-50 liquids I love this device as being able to use 70-30 liquids as most shorfills are nowadays I use a 0.2 Ohm coil at 55 watts 2 hours usage I use 50% battery power so as an experienced vaper I always carry two devices when outdoors so not to be caught short ,
The ability to change coils instead of complete pod also easy clean pod with 2mil/3 mil capacity available but no mention of pulse mode,fast charging nice display and breath mode with light effects.
My personal niggles with this device
unable to change coils if pod is full if coil burns out and contains liquid turn over pod to remove coil the juice then runs out mouthpiece turn upright your covered in juice through aperture coil sits , this results in gurgling spitting of juice and mouth full of e liquid.
My new fav Armour G
3000mAh mega battery as with all devices mentioned they all have the Axon chip. This one has a top airflow adjustment so fingers canāt block airflow and top filling no need to remove pod to fill ,the body is covered in a nice leatherette giving great grip also uses the awesome gtx coils has 3 theme options and great streamlined lights down left and right of the sides near display of making this look like a superior device much like the lux xr max it has 80 watts max the device usage to the lux is much the same but can turn pulse on off if required can change themes from racing car , general and rim turn off/on turn smart mode on/off eco/pulse animations on off shape size how it fits in hand seems a better fit for me itās like a cross mod/pod the tip is of mod style the round tube as opposed to flat mouthpiece pod availability is 2mil 5 mil separate pods same as lux max for dtl/mil if I were to lose the lux max which is a awesome device sorry to say Iād replace with armour G as better fit for me love how it feels in hand. Also comes in armour GS model which has separate 18650 batteries not built in battery advantage carrying fully charged battery for replacement when out if need fresh power although device is slightly bigger.
My niggles with this device same as lux xr if pod full of liquid you canāt change coils without liquid spill.
But again not a deal breaker
I only mention this issue on coil change as I had a tank from aspire Nautilus 3 that allows change of coil while tank full as it had internal sleeve that slid down internally to seal tank on removal of coil to seal it from spillage and slid back up as you inserted fresh coil. Hopefully in time Vaporesso will incorporate this design in their devices.
Ok last up armour s
This is a mod max 100 watts
Armoured protection 18650/21700 batteries. The it tank 2 with protective sleeve to protect glass
Uses a wide array of gti coils.
The tank is big on a 2/mil glass can get 5 mil / 8 mil glass it is huge
There are those out there who prefer mods of this type sadly not for me
Itās big heavy only an hour into use I cracked glass on tank I prefer small sleeker lighter devices. As only 20 watts difference from lux xr max and armour G I will stick with those sorry to say
And it has a big brother the armour max which is 220 watts power awesome menu on both as like all vapresso devices uses the awesome Corex design coils for flavour.
This is only based on my usage and preference of these devices and donāt let it sway you in anyway as with all Vaporesso products there is great design and craftsmanship in each product.
My go to devices are xcross pro I can use indoor for stealth vaping on 50-50 liquid my outdoor devices are lux xr max and new fav Armour G.
Good health to all happy vaping create clouds donāt live in one lol .
