Vaporesso Luxe QS Review – Major Design and Performance Upgrades

The Vaporesso Luxe QS refines the original with striking aesthetics, improved pods, and excellent flavor. But minor airflow options still limit its versatility. This review dives into the pros and cons.

Introduction

The Vaporesso Luxe Q debuted in 2021 as an affordable, pocketable pod system. Now the Luxe QS aims to refine the formula with new stylish panels, upgraded pods, and core heating technology. But are the changes impactful? This in-depth Luxe QS review explores those questions.

Design and Build Quality

While retaining the compact size of the original, the Luxe QS swaps plastic panels for striking holographic inserts. Vertical ridges provide added grip and visual flair. An LED seamlessly integrates into the front logo cutout. The matte metal frame exudes understated class.

At 91.9mm tall, 26mm wide, and 16.5mm deep, it remains slim and portable. Strong magnets hold the pod firmly to prevent wiggle. A small window gives a partial ejuice view. Overall fit and finish proves exemplary with no construction issues arising during testing.

The Luxe QS simply feels and looks leaps ahead of its predecessor in terms of refinement. Vaporesso nailed the ergonomics and aesthetics for an elegant yet functional piece. My only gripe is lack of full ejuice visibility without pod removal.

Simple, Beginner Friendly Use

A straight forward single button interface keeps operation uncomplicated:

• Turn on/off with 5 clicks
• Fill pod after sliding off mouthpiece
• Rotate pod to shift airflow
• Press button to fire and vape

With automatic power configuration, no settings exist to adjust. The hassle-free approach makes it ideal for new vapers. But the minimalist experience also suits veterans seeking an easy pocket companion.

Rotational Airflow Adjustment

By flipping the pod 180 degrees, users can toggle between two distinct airflow paths. One offers a tighter mouth to lung draw, the other provides a slightly looser experience. The difference feels substantial for catering to individual preferences.

• Tighter – 1.0ohm pod is pure MTL, 0.6ohm becomes loose MTL
• Looser – 1.0ohm turns into looser MTL, 0.6ohm converts to RDL

However, options don’t exist for fine tuning between the two positions. It’s a clever implementation that adds airflow diversity without complex controls though. Just match the airflow symbol on the pod to the battery for your desired setting.

New COREX Pod Performance

Featuring next generation heating technology, the Luxe QS pods aim to provide optimal flavor and longevity. The 0.6ohm and 1.0ohm options cover either loose MTL or tighter draws.

Across both pods, flavor consistency and saturation impressed me after heavy testing. Clean fruit and rich tobacco profiles tasted full and nuanced. The new cumulus wicking resisted any dry hits or leaks through weeks of use.

Vaporesso’s claims around the COREX pods seem spot on. They extract substantial flavor for low wattage output while exhibiting impressive durability. The redesigned pods represent a substantial upgrade in my experience.

1000mAh Battery Life

The Luxe QS retains its predecessor’s ample 1000mAh internal battery – quite large for a petite pod system. As a result, the MTL-focused output efficiency translates into excellent pod life per full charge:

• 1.0ohm MTL pod lasts around 2 full 2mL pods
• 0.6ohm RDL pod lasts approximately 1.5 refills

An LED bar tracks remaining battery – green between 70-100%, blue from 30-70%, and red under 30%. I consistently got a full day or more of moderate MTL nic salt usage before needing to plug in. Charging the non-removable cell takes 1 hour 10 minutes via USB-C.

Vaping Experience

The Luxe QS delivered outstanding MTL flavor using 50mg nicotine salts. The 1.0ohm pod performed wonderfully for tighter inhales around 10W, producing thoroughly satisfying throat hit and taste.

The 0.6ohm pod worked best around 15W for looser MTL draws. While marketed as nearly RDL, it failed to provide an airy lung hit. But the flavor popped beautifully with complexity from fruity and tobacco juices.

The draw activated consistently with no delay or hesitation. Vapor stayed warm and smooth, even as the 1000mAh battery approached empty. Aside from minor exterior condensation, zero leaks emerged during testing.

For a simple pod system, the Luxe QS provides profoundly impressive flavor. It proved hard to put down thanks to the consistently gratifying vape quality from the upgraded pods.

Conclusion

Vaporesso’s Luxe QS delivers meaningful upgrades over the original in the areas that matter most. It looks fantastically modern and vapes even better courtesy of the new COREX pods.

Aside from slightly limited airflow versatility, the Luxe QS fires on all cylinders as a heavenly flavor chasing pod system. It holds wide appeal for beginners but also satisfies veterans seeking portable satisfaction.
