Vaporesso: the brand guide (XROS, Luxe, GTX, Armour)

If one brand brought vaping into the era of "it just works", it would be Vaporesso. Elegant pods, clever kits, smart chipsets: the manufacturer has built its reputation on hardware you forget you are using — in the best possible way. XROS, Luxe, GTX, Armour... here is our guide to the four big families, with our recommendations for each type of vaper.

XROS: the star pod

The XROS family is probably the most recommended pod range of recent years, and with good reason: pocket format, auto-draw or button firing, and cartridges that render flavour like few others. The XROS 5 packs 1500mAh, a colour screen and climbs to 30W across Power/Normal/Eco modes; the XROS PRO 2 goes up to 2000mAh with the Super Pulse mode, which holds a constant output from the first puff of a cartridge to the last. Both take the whole XROS cartridge family (Corex 3.0, Pro, Mesh) — an ecosystem that will never leave you stranded.

GTX: the serious entry level

To get started, or for no-nonsense MTL vaping, the GTX family remains a safe haven. The GTX Go 40 (1500mAh, 3.5ml pod) detects the coil automatically and delivers around 26W with the supplied GTX-2 0.6Ω. The GTX One Pro moves upmarket: 3000mAh, an AXON chipset up to 40W, a screen, and the leak-resistant top-airflow XTank T. Both run on GTX coils — the outright best-seller on our consumables shelves.

Armour: the all-terrain option

Vaporesso also has its answer for those who take their vape everywhere: the Armour Ultra Kit, certified IP68/IP69K and MIL-STD-810H (water, dust, high-pressure jets, drops), with a massive 5500mAh built-in battery pushing up to 100W in the iTank T. A built-in-battery alternative to the rugged dual-battery mods. In pod format, the Armour G models (MTL or GS DTL) take the same philosophy into a compact shell.

iTank: the tank that goes with everything

The iTank T Dual Mesh (6ml, Ø27.6mm) is the natural companion to powerful mods: leak-resistant top airflow, dual mesh for even heating, and genuine e-liquid capacity. It is the tank you find in the Armour kits — and it stands perfectly well on its own on any 510 mod.

What about the Luxe family?

The Luxe XR Max 2, a premium pod running Luxe XR cartridges, is among the best sellers in French vaping — it has just come back into stock with us, and its Luxe XR cartridges are already on the shelf. If you are torn between XROS and Luxe: XROS for discretion, Luxe for comfort and longer battery life.
