Vaporesso Luxe XR Max 2 80W Pod Mod Kit

The Vaporesso Luxe XR Max 2 is the second-generation 80W pod mod in the Luxe X family. Built by SMOORE-owned Vaporesso for vapers who want sub-ohm cloud production without carrying a full box mod.

It runs the AXON chipset with Pulse Mode and Eco Mode, takes the same GTX coil range as the rest of the Vaporesso line-up. It also refills through a 2ml top-fill pod that's TPD-compliant for UK sale.

Sitting at the top of the Vaporesso Luxe range within the wider Vaporesso vape line-up, the Max 2 replaces the original Luxe XR Max with a larger 3200mAh battery, a sharper 0.96" TFT colour screen and refined airflow control. It carries forward full compatibility with Luxe X Dual Mesh pods and the wider GTX replacement coil range, so existing Luxe X users can switch up without rebuying consumables.

Twelve finishes cover plain matte (Black, Red, Blue, Silver), gradient (Storm Blue, Flowing Purple, Cloud Pink, Fog Gold) and leather-wrap (Imperial Red, Dark Black, Gray, Mocha). It suits anyone stepping up from a smaller pod kit like the Luxe X3 who wants more battery, MTL-to-DTL airflow swing and sub-ohm coil headroom in one device.

3200mAh Mega Battery for All-Day Vaping

Battery life is the headline upgrade. The Luxe XR Max 2 carries a 3200mAh built-in battery, up from 2800mAh on the original Luxe XR Max.

A 14% jump without adding bulk - and around 28% more than the typical 2500mAh seen on rival 80W pod mods. In real-world use that's up to two days of moderate MTL vaping at 12-15W.

Or a solid day of DTL clouds at 50-60W on the 0.2Ω coil, between charges.

Recharging runs through the 3A USB-C port on the base. From flat to full takes around 45 minutes on a quick-charge plug, with battery-level shown live on the TFT screen. Pass-through vaping works while it charges, so there's no downtime if the battery taps out mid-shift.

AXON Pulse Mode and Eco Mode Explained

The Luxe XR Max 2 runs Vaporesso's AXON chipset with two distinct vape modes. Pulse Mode pushes short, repeated power bursts through the coil instead of one flat output.

That keeps the cotton evenly saturated and slows down flavour degradation across a refill pack. The result is that the last few puffs of a 2ml top-up taste close to the first.

Eco Mode tapers wattage gradually as battery drops, stretching the day-to-day mAh further without an obvious change in draw.

Three quick clicks of the fire button toggles between wattage steps. Two clicks opens the settings menu, and a five-click sequence locks the screen so it can't fire in a pocket or bag.

Dual Mesh Pods for Sub-Ohm and MTL Vaping

The Max 2 comes with two GTX coils pre-installed in their pods. The 0.2Ω Dual Mesh coil sits in the DTL pod for sub-ohm clouds in the 40-60W range - ideal pairing with a shortfill e-liquid in 70VG or higher. The 0.8Ω regular mesh coil drops into the MTL pod for tighter draws at 12-18W, suited to nicotine salts and 50/50 freebase liquids.

Dual mesh sits as a two-layer heating element rather than a single wrapped mesh strip. Vaporesso quotes around 25% better aroma reproduction and around 30% longer coil life over standard single-mesh GTX coils. This holds up in day-to-day use - flavour stays consistent for longer before the wick starts to dry.

Adjustable Airflow from MTL to DTL

A knurled airflow ring at the base of the pod opens or closes in fine increments. Closed down to a sliver, the draw mimics a cigarette pull for nicotine salt MTL vaping.

Half-open delivers a restricted DTL hit that sits between mouth-to-lung and full direct-to-lung. Wide open, paired with the 0.2Ω coil, produces full sub-ohm DTL clouds for higher-VG juice.

One device covers the full inhale range, which keeps the kit relevant whether the user is stepping down from disposables on nic salts or scaling up to shortfills.

0.96" TFT Display and RGB Lighting

The 0.96-inch TFT colour screen shows battery percentage, current wattage, coil resistance, vape mode and puff counter at a glance. Three interface themes - Nebula, Vital and Wave - can be cycled through, with subtle RGB lighting effects on the chassis reacting to draws.

It's a bigger and clearer screen than the original Luxe XR Max. This only ran a monochrome readout, and it makes wattage adjustment quicker than fiddling through a menu.

Older Pod Cross-Fit Compatibility

The Luxe XR Max 2 takes any Vaporesso GTX coil from 0.15Ω up to 1.2Ω. That's the same coil range used by the Vaporesso GTX One Pro, Armour S and earlier Luxe XR models.

It also accepts pre-built Luxe X Dual Mesh pods with COREX 2.0 leak-resistant tech. The result is that a Luxe X3 user can drop their existing pods straight into a Max 2 chassis without rebuying.

Empty refillable Luxe XR pods and the matching GTX replacement coils are stocked separately. The 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω coils suit MTL nicotine salt vaping, while the 0.2Ω and 0.3Ω Dual Mesh options handle higher-VG shortfills at sub-ohm wattages.

How to Charge, Lock and Use the Luxe XR Max 2

1. First charge: plug a USB-C cable into the base port. A flat-to-full charge runs around 45 minutes on a 2-3A wall plug.
2. Fill the pod: lift the pod off the magnetic battery, flip it over. Lift the silicone bung on the underside and top up with e-liquid up to the 2ml line. Reseat the pod and let it stand for two minutes so the wick saturates.
3. Set the wattage: click the fire button five times to switch on. Hold the fire button plus the up arrow to adjust wattage - start at 12W for the 0.8Ω MTL coil or 40W for the 0.2Ω DTL coil.
4. Lock the kit: press the fire button five times in quick succession to lock the screen and disable firing. Five clicks again unlocks.
5. Auto-draw mode: hold the fire button and the up arrow together for two seconds to toggle inhale-activated draw on or off. The kit fires automatically on inhale once enabled.
