VAPORESSO LUXE XR Hands-On Review: Better Than the LUXE X?

The VAPORESSO LUXE XR is a replaceable coil version of the LUXE X, featuring a sleek, transparent design. It includes two pods—one for MTL and one for RDL—along with a 1500mAh battery and 5mL e-liquid capacity for a premium vaping experience.

The VAPORESSO LUXE XR is the latest AIO pod system, building on the success of the LUXE X. It swaps built-in coils for replaceable coils and includes two pods—one for MTL and one for DL. With a 1500mAh battery and 5mL capacity, it’s a solid upgrade for vapers.

Build quality and design

The LUXE XR sits between MTL pods and DL setups, offering a balance of power, battery life (1500mAh), and portability. It features a durable, lightweight, see-through design, revealing the internal chip. Nearly identical to the LUXE X, it comes in seven colors, including five new shades like pink, gold, and galaxy-themed blue, red, and purple. A single-button operation controls power, with LED indicators for battery status. Simple, stylish, and well-built, it’s a solid pod system.

Getting started

The LUXE XR is a simple, beginner-friendly pod system with no power adjustments—just press the button five times to turn it on/off. Unlike the LUXE X, it includes two dedicated pods for MTL and DL, with cross-compatibility between devices. Filling is easy via a bottom rubber plug, and the magnetic pod connection is secure yet effortless to remove. While the dark tint makes checking juice levels tricky, the overall usability is excellent.

Performance

Coils are key to a device’s performance, and VAPORESSO continues to deliver with the LUXE XR, using the same COREX mesh coils as the LUXE X. These claim 50% more flavor and lifespan, with two options: a 0.4-ohm DL coil (30W) and a 0.8-ohm MTL coil (16W). While the DL coil may lack power for some, the MTL coil excels with a loose to medium draw, extended battery life, and a large 5mL capacity, making it a great all-day vape option.
