The VAPORESSO LUXE Q2 and Q2 SE are the latest additions to the LUXE Q pod system lineup. Both devices feature a 1000 mAh battery and 3 mL pod capacity, with compatibility for older 2 mL pods. The LUXE Q2 stands out with faster charging, adjustable airflow, and leather panels, while the Q2 SE is a more affordable, simplified version without these features.
The VAPORESSO LUXE Q2 is a stylish pod vape with a metal and leather design for a premium feel. It uses COREX tech LUXE Q pods for great flavor and durability, holds 3 mL of e-liquid, and features a 1000 mAh battery for long-lasting use.
VAPORESSO LUXE Q2 SE
The Vaporesso Luxe Q2 SE is a simple MTL pod vape with draw activation and a 1000 mAh battery for a powerful flavor experience. It comes with a 0.8Ω MTL/RDTL pod and is compatible with the full Luxe Q pod range (0.6Ω RDL, 1.0Ω, and 1.2Ω MTL). Vaporesso’s SSS Tech ensures leak resistance and consistent flavor.

Build quality and design
The Vaporesso Luxe Q2 and Q2 SE share a similar design and size, with the Q2 featuring leather panels and an airflow slider, while the Q2 SE has a simpler design, including some clear-case color options.
Both are lightweight, durable, and pocket-friendly with LED battery indicators (the Q2 has a better one). The Q2 SE has a loose MTL draw, whereas the Q2 offers adjustable airflow for MTL to restricted DTL vaping, though both are best suited for MTL use.
They come in a variety of colors—five for the Q2 and eight for the Q2 SE—and operate with inhale activation, without buttons, screens, or power adjustments.
The Luxe Q2 and Q2 SE are beginner-friendly with inhale activation, no buttons, and no settings—just vape and go. They use LUXE Q pods, available in 3 mL and 2 mL options, which are magnetically attached for easy insertion and removal.
Pod filling varies by type: older top-fill pods have a removable drip tip, while newer ones use a side rubber plug. The half-exposed, clear design makes e-liquid levels visible, though tilting is needed to check the bottom.
Performance
The coils are key in any pod device. The LUXE Q2 SE includes a 0.8Ω mesh pod, while the LUXE Q2 comes with two pods: 0.6Ω and 1.0Ω mesh coils.
Each coil lasted at least 10 refills with great flavor. The 1.0Ω pod suits tight MTL vapers, while the 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω pods offer a looser draw. All perform well, so choosing the best one comes down to personal preference.
Battery life and charging
Both devices have solid battery life with a 1000 mAh capacity, lasting all day for most users. My tests showed around 900 mAh usable capacity, which is above average.
The LUXE Q2 charges at ~1.55A, taking 45 minutes instead of the advertised 30, while the Q2 SE charges at ~0.82A, taking 80 minutes. The Q2 SE lacks a battery meter, while the Q2 has a better LED indicator for charge levels.
VAPORESSO LUXE Q vs. LUXE QS summary
The LUXE Q2 is the premium version with adjustable airflow, two pods, leather panels, and a battery meter, priced at $33.90. It also charges twice as fast as the Q2 SE.
The LUXE Q2 SE is the basic version at $19.90, with one pod, no airflow control, no battery meter, and no leather, but it shares the same 1000 mAh battery as the Q2.
