Corex 2.0 vs 3.0: What's the Difference?
The biggest question in the Vaporesso pod range right now is Corex 2.0 vs 3.0, and it comes down to coil life and flavour. Vaporesso Corex 3.0 pods last longer and taste better than Vaporesso Corex 2.0 pods across the board.

Corex 3.0 uses a hive mesh pattern that spreads heat more evenly than the morph mesh in 2.0 pods. In practice, you'll notice the flavour staying consistent for longer before it starts to fade. Vaporesso's own testing puts the improvement at roughly 30% longer life and 30% better flavour, and from what we've seen that's about right.
The difference between Corex 2.0 and 3.0 matters most if you vape heavily or use sweet e-liquids that burn through coils faster. When people search Vaporesso Corex 2.0 vs 3.0, the short answer is always go for 3.0 if your kit supports it. Lighter vapers will still notice better flavour from 3.0 but the life difference is less dramatic.
Both Corex versions are cross-compatible within the XROS range, so you're not locked in. A Corex 2.0 pod fits an XROS Pro 2 and a Corex 3.0 pod fits an XROS 4. You can use either version in any XROS vape without any issues. Just be wary of the 0.4ohm Pod - this is not suitable for the XROS Mini or XROS 3 Mini kits as they do not give out enough power to fire them.
Vaporesso Pod Ranges
XROS Pods
XROS pods are the most popular Vaporesso pods in the UK. They're built-in coil pods with Corex mesh, sold in packs of 4 with a top fill clamshell opening. All Vaporesso XROS refill pods are 2ml (TPD compliant) and work across the full XROS kit range. That includes Vaporesso XROS 3 pods through to the latest XROS 5 and Pro models.
Available resistances: 0.4 ohm (DTL), 0.6 ohm (RDL), 0.8 ohm (most popular), 1.0 ohm (MTL) and 1.2 ohm (tight MTL). The 0.8 ohm suits most vapers as a middle ground between vapour production and a comfortable throat hit.
Vaporesso XROS side fill pods are also available for kits that support them. Vaporesso replacement pods for the XROS range are always stocked at Ecigone in every resistance.
Luxe Pods
Vaporesso Luxe pods come in two types. Luxe X pods have the coil built in, so you swap the whole pod when flavour drops. Luxe XR pods are empty that take separate GTX coils, so you keep the pod and just change the coil inside.
Luxe X Corex pods come with the Luxe X, X2 and X3. Vaporesso Luxe X Pro pods and XR pods with GTX coils come with the Luxe X Pro, XR, XR Max and XR Max 2. GTX coils run from 0.15 ohm up to 1.2 ohm, giving you more resistance options than any other Vaporesso pod range. But all are cross-compatible and available separately.
Eco Nano Pods
Eco Nano pods fit the Eco Nano, Eco Nano Pro, Eco Nano 2 and Eco Nano Plus. Standard pods are rated at up to 13,000 puffs approximately and XL versions go up to 35,000 puffs approximately (puff counts depend on vaping style). They use Corex Smooth mesh and come in 0.6, 0.8 and 1.2 ohm.
