This is the grand supreme of all hybrid pod kits. The Vaporesso Luxe XR Max, which we are reviewing today, is the next step in the evolution of vaping, and what looks like the future of the industry.

The Vaporesso Luxe XR Max is the shining light of the range, with not only itsown new XR pods for direct lung (DTL) and restrictive direct lung (RDL) vaping, but the XR Max device is also compatible with Luxe X pods too.

Why the Luxe XR Max From Vaporesso is King

What stands out with the Luxe XR Max compared to its predecessors is the battery capacity.It’s a huge 2800mAh battery with an ‘ultra high-density battery’ design. Vaporesso states that it delivers a 40% longer life than similar products, which tests show is truthful, but you also must factor in the coil and vape juice used.

If you use the Sub-Ohm GTX coilsfor example provided with the kit – 0.2 Ohm or 0.4 Ohm, you need to vape at a higher wattage (roughly 45W) throughout the day with a thicker high VG e-liquid.

This will produce amazing cloud performance but burn through your coil quicker and run through your e-liquid levels faster, and therefore your battery life.

Thankfully with the Luxe XR Max, you have such a huge battery capacity, within a compact vape kit, with tons of coil and pod options, that this hardly matters!

How to Use the Vaporesso Luxe XR Max: Simple Setup Guide

1. Insert the chosen pod (two featured with the kit) into the device, and press the fire button five times to turn on.
2. With the kit, you get two coils as mentioned and as a bonus two extra pods (an RDL and DTL pod). Each pod states the type. Match the RDL pod with the 0.4 Ohm coil and the 0.2 Ohm with the DTL pod.
3. You can reverse the pods position around to alternate the airflow.
4. Three clicks of the fire button activate the wattage adjustment setting, which is customised up to 80W by pressing the very responsive touch screen up or down buttons, which automatically locks upon use.
5. Four clicks of the fire button to enter the menu, where you can operate the LED lights, puff counter, smart mode to recognise the current coil.
6. Note that the Vaporesso Luxe XR Max is fire-button activation only with no auto-draw.

How Does it Vape?

The Luxe XR Max is a truly surprising jack-of-all-trades device. Its cross-compatibility with all the previous GTX coils and Luxe X pods means you can vape as low as 0.2 Ohms for a huge lung hit or even a restrictive tight draw 1.2 Ohm MTL vape.

Whatever e-liquid you pick, the flavour is consistently dense, rich and satisfying, while the battery capacity means you can easily enjoy the device all day long without searching for a charging area.

If you just opt for the coils that come with the kit, it’s perfect for RDL and DTL vaping, but you can mix and match to try different styles.

The adjustable airflow toggle on the side of the device and coil options mean you can get just as much pleasure from a nic salt vape juice or high PG e-liquid when vaping a high Ohm resistance GTX coil as you could with a high VG e-liquid and the airflow wide open.

Thanks to the smart mode recognising your coil, it’s always on point to get you started on the right track in terms of flavour and cloud production.

Appearance and Build Quality Overview

Overall, the look and feel of the device are fantastic. It’s slightly larger and heavier than the previous Luxe X and X Pro, but more than makes up for the size difference based on the performance, versatility and reliability as a well-rounded kit.

We love the various colour schemes on offer and the stylish touchscreen and chipset display on the front of the Luxe XR Max. The option to light up the LEDs or turn them off is also a cool feature!

It’s a very compact and sturdy pod-mod that provides a powerful and user-friendlyexperience at all levels of MTL, RDL and DTL vaping for just over £30, so it’ssuch a bargain.
