Hey there!
Today I bring you a review of VAPORESSO’s latest powerhouse - the ARMOUR MAX. This dual 21700/18650 compatible device has been my daily driver for the past few weeks, and I must say, it’s quite the tank!
Packaging And First Impressions:
The box follows VAPORESSO’s signature styling with black and green accents. Inside you’ll find:
● 1x ARMOUR MAX Mod (Batteries not included)
● 1x USB-C charging cable
● User manuals and warranty card
● 0.4Ω mesh coil
The Mod:
The first thing that strikes you is the robust TPU construction - this thing feels like it could survive a war! The mod features two distinct sections: a metallic frame and the TPU protective material. It’s hefty, but in a reassuring way.
The innovative Uni-Lock button system is a standout feature - it’s large, easy to press, and doubles as both a fire and lock mechanism. The up/down buttons are satisfyingly clicky and well-positioned.
Screen and Interface:
The display is bright and well-organized, showing:
● Current mode (F(t), Pulse, Eco, TC)
● Puff counter and duration
● Resistance reading
● Dual battery indicators
● Wattage display
Technical Features & Functions:
Button Combinations:
● 5 clicks: Power on/off
● 3 clicks: Enter menu
● Uni-Lock: Slide up to lock, down to unlock
● Fire + Down: Smart mode activation
● Up + Down: Wattage lock
Operating Modes:
● F(t) Mode: Temperature-optimized flavor
● Pulse Mode: Consistent voltage output
● Eco Mode: Battery conservation
● TC-SS Mode: Temperature control
Battery Features:
● Dual 21700/18650 compatibility
● Included 18650 adapters
● Quick-release battery door
● Clear battery orientation markers
Vaping Time:
I’ve been using this mod extensively with both 21700 and 18650 batteries. The performance difference is noticeable - with 21700s, you get about 54% more power compared to dual 18650s, while maintaining a 10% smaller footprint than typical dual 21700 mods.
The AXON chip delivers consistent performance across all modes. I primarily used F(t) mode, which provides excellent flavor optimization. The Eco mode is particularly impressive for battery life extension without significant performance compromise.
The TPU armor isn’t just for show - I’ve accidentally dropped it twice (sorry, VAPORESSO!), and it shrugged it off without a scratch. The Uni-Lock system prevents any accidental firing, and the battery door mechanism is both secure and convenient.
Battery life with dual 21700s is exceptional - I regularly got 600+ puffs at 60W before needing a recharge. The 18650 option with included adapters is a nice backup feature.
Conclusion:
The ARMOUR MAX lives up to its name - it’s a robust, powerful device that prioritizes both protection and performance. Standout features:
● Innovative TPU armor design
● Clever Uni-Lock system
● Exceptional battery life with 21700s
● Versatile battery compatibility
● Advanced AXON chip features
This mod is perfect for advanced vapers who want a durable, powerful device without compromising on features. The combination of protective design and smart engineering makes it an excellent choice for both everyday use and outdoor adventures.
