Build Quality and Design
Encased in an eye-catching transparent shell, the Luxe X shows off its futuristic inner printed circuit board. Vaporesso claims enhanced durability through a triple layer material process. A holographic rear label provides flair along with the front metal panel.
With dimensions of 98mm tall by 31.5mm wide and 21.6mm deep, the Luxe X sits at the larger end of the pod mod spectrum. An oval firing button and engraved logo keep the exterior streamlined yet sophisticated. No issues emerged during testing pointing to excellent manufacturing standards.
My only criticism is the sheer size. While build quality proves solid, the Luxe X burdens pockets more than the average pod device. But the extra real estate allows features like a spacious 5ml pod and 1500mAh battery. Overall the striking aesthetics help offset size and weight.
Straightforward Operation
The Luxe X keeps operation simple:
- Turn on/off with 5 clicks
- Fill pod after removing from battery
- Rotate pod 180° to shift airflow
- Press fire button to activate and vape
With automatic wattage configuration based on the coil, no complex settings exist to adjust. Just fill, insert either pod, and start vaping. The uncomplicated interface makes it ideal for beginners. But the straightforward approach also suits veterans seeking a fuss-free experience.
Clever Rotational Airflow Control
By rotating the pod 180 degrees, users can toggle between two distinct airflow paths catering to direct lung or mouth to lung. The difference between open and closed proves substantial allowing loose, high vapor production inhales or tighter, more restricted draws.
Having this airflow flexibility helps accommodate individual preferences. However, options don’t exist for fine tuning between the two positions. Still, the implementation cleverly provides airflow diversity without complex controls or sliders.
Pod and Coil Performance
The Luxe X uses proprietary push-to-fit coils integrated into 5ml ejuice pods. The kit includes a 0.8ohm MTL pod and 0.4ohm direct lung pod for out of the box flexibility. I encountered no leaking or other issues after heavy testing with each pod.
The pod tint makes monitoring juice level difficult without shining light through. But longevity exceeded 3 weeks of filling for each without decline in flavor or vapor consistency. They deliver approximately 2 pods per charge when using the lower 16W 0.8ohm pod.
Both the 0.8ohm and 0.4ohm coils deliver extremely impressive flavor intensity. They extract nuanced profiles even at the lower end of their 32W and 16W output ranges. The coils last weeks with frequent daily use. Pod life and performance shines.
Battery and Charging
The chunky chassis accommodates a generous 1500mAh internal battery – notably larger than typical pod mods. This translates into impressive real world usage per charge:
- 1.5+ days for the lower 16W 0.8ohm MTL pod
- Around 1 day for the higher 32W 0.4ohm RDL pod
An LED bar tracks remaining life – three lit indicates over 60%, two is 30-60%, and one shows under 30%. Charging the non-removable cell takes 55 minutes via USB-C. The LEDs also display charging progress. Pass-through vaping is supported as well.
Vaping Experience
Across 50mg nicotine salts and 6mg freebase juices, the Luxe X consistently delivered dense, flavorful draws. The 0.8ohm MTL pod performed wonderfully at around 14-16W, producing a gratifying throat hit and rich taste.
The 0.4ohm direct lung pod shined for restricted lung hits from 30-32W using freebase juice. Warm vapor flowed effortlessly with the airflow open. Closing it transformed the draw into a pleasing restricted direct lung inhale.
Flavor popped with complexity from fruity blends and deep texture from custards. The output proved consistent and leakage free during demanding use. Battery life also impressed, especially with the lower draw 0.8ohm pod installed.
