Vaporesso Luxe XR Max 2 vs Luxe XR Max: Every Difference Compared

By shane margereson  •   1 minute read   •   Last updated: February 18, 2026

Same AXON chipset, same 80W max output, same GTX coils, same pods. The Vaporesso Luxe XR Max 2 is a spec bump, not a redesign. Here's what actually changed from the original Vaporesso Luxe XR Max.

What's Different

Spec

Luxe XR Max

Luxe XR Max 2

Battery

2800mAh

3200mAh

Screen

0.54 inch OLED, mono

0.96 inch TFT, colour

Included coils

0.2ohm + 0.4ohm GTX mesh

0.2ohm GTX dual mesh + 0.8ohm GTX mesh

Size

106.5 x 32.1 x 26mm

108 x 32.1 x 26.4mm

Everything else is identical: 80W output, USB-C 2A charging, Luxe XR and Luxe X pod compatibility, full GTX coil range, adjustable airflow, Pulse Mode, Eco Mode, Smart Mode, and SSS leak resistant pods.

The 3200mAh battery stretches to a day and a half at moderate wattage. The bigger TFT screen shows the same info in colour with switchable themes. The dual mesh coil uses two mesh layers for more even heating and works in the original kit too if you buy it separately.

Which One Is For You

Want the better battery and screen, go for the Luxe XR Max 2. Want to save money and don't mind the smaller screen, the original XR Max takes every coil and pod the newer kit takes.

Already own the original and it's working fine? The dual mesh coils work in your existing kit. Battery and screen aren't a reason to replace a kit that's doing the job.

Shane's been in the vaping industry for over a decade and there aren't many kits he hasn't tried first-hand. He started as a hobbyist but these days you'll find him with a pod kit and dessert nic salts – though he'll still pick up the odd limited edition setup if it's a beauty.

As owner of Ecigone, he's tested hundreds of devices and knows the market inside out. He's also a big fan of OXVA Vapes, which you'll notice when you read his reviews. If Shane doesn't know about it, it's probably not worth talking about.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Luxe XR Max pods in the Luxe XR Max 2?

Yes. Same pods, same coils. Fully cross compatible.

Does either kit have auto draw?

No. Both are fire buttons only.

How long does the Luxe XR Max 2 battery last?

One to two days depending on wattage. MTL at 12 to 16W stretches across two days. DTL at 45 to 60W drains it in a day.

What does Pulse Mode do?

Keeps power consistent as battery drains so flavour doesn't drop off. Both kits have it.
