For several years now, Vaporesso has established itself as an undisputed leader in the world of vaping, thanks to its reliable, innovative and user experience-oriented products. Among its flagship ranges, the Luxe series has won over a wide audience, combining futuristic design and cutting-edge technology. Following the success of the Luxe XR Max, the brand is now back with an even more accomplished model: the Luxe XR Max 2.
More powerful, more autonomous and more intuitive, this new pod has been designed to meet the expectations of the most demanding vapers. Let's find out what it has to offer, how it works in detail, and the opinion of Steve, manager of the Sweetch Nyon shop, who tested it for 10 days.
The Luxe XR Max 2 is a super-powerful pod with an integrated 3200 mAh battery and the Axon chipset, renowned for its reliability and responsiveness. With a maximum power output of 80 watts, this model is equally suited to MTL (indirect tight draw) and DTL (direct overhead draw).
Detailed operation:
- 0.96" TFT colour screen, customisable with 3 visual themes, displaying all the information you need: autonomy, number of puffs, power, resistance.
- Three built-in vape modes:
➔ Pulse, which sends constant pulses for a dense, even vape.
➔ Eco, to save battery power.
➔ Smart, which automatically adjusts power according to the resistance used.
- Ultra-precise adjustable Airflow, allowing you to perfectly adapt its draw.
- Locking switch on the underside of the pod for safe transport.
- USB-C quick charge, protected by a silicone cover.
As for the cartridges, the kit includes two Luxe XR tanks with a generous 5 ml capacity, compatible with GTX resistors for optimum flavour and abundant vapour.
To get concrete feedback from the field, we asked Steve, manager of the Sweetch Nyon shop, to test the pod for 10 days. He combined it with Polar Mint e-liquid from French manufacturer VDLV. Here are his impressions:
What was your first impression of this pod?
As soon as I opened it, I thought the design was really good. It's got the Vaporesso signature with that futuristic look. It has an assertive style that really makes you want to try it out.
How did you get to grips with it?
Right from the start, I found the Luxe XR Max 2 very intuitive to use. The pod is light and well-balanced, and fits perfectly in the hand despite its power and battery.
The colour TFT screen is a real plus: everything is clear, the information is legible even outdoors, and I liked the fact that I could choose between three visual themes to personalise the interface.
The touch-sensitive adjustment buttons are responsive, and the locking switch on the underside of the pod is very practical for preventing accidental triggering in a pocket or bag, without having to switch off the device.
As for the airflow, the slider is wide and very easy to adjust precisely. In just a few minutes, I'd found the configuration that suited me best for an airy DTL draw but also a tighter MTL draw.
Finally, installing the resistors and filling the tank is quick and easy. Everything has been designed to make it easy to get to grips with, even for a novice vaper new to this type of equipment.
What's your experience with this pod?
I've been using the Luxe XR Max 2 for around ten days without ever switching to another piece of equipment, and I can say that I'm really impressed.
Firstly, its versatility is remarkable: I've used it as an MTL in the morning and as a more powerful DTL during the day, simply by changing cartridges. The GTX resistors deliver excellent flavour reproduction, especially the 0.2 ohm Dual Mesh, which produces a very dense vapour volume and perfectly reproduces the freshness and power of VDLV's Polar Mint e-liquid.
Autonomy is also impressive. The 3200 mAh battery easily lasts a whole day, even when using DTL at more than 50W, and two full days in MTL with the 0.8 ohm resistor. USB-C recharging is fast: I plugged it in an hour before going to the shop and afterwards I was fine.
Finally, the design is a real eye-catcher. Customers in the shop asked me several times what I was using and whether we'd already received it. The finish is clean, with a well thought-out non-slip silicone base and a futuristic look that's true to Vaporesso.
Overall, I didn't feel like going back to my usual equipment during this test, which is rare.
Did you encounter any difficulties?
No particular problems. There's just one minor problem: the tank is slightly tinted, so you can't see the liquid level as clearly as with a completely transparent tank. But that's a minor detail.
Who would you recommend this pod to?
For anyone looking for a versatile, reliable and powerful pod. It will suit both fans of big clouds and MTL vapers who want long autonomy and quality equipment.
With the Luxe XR Max 2, Vaporesso is hitting hard with a complete, powerful and versatile pod, without sacrificing autonomy or ease of use. Whether you're a fan of big clouds or a tight draw, this pod will adapt to your desires while offering maximum user comfort.
Discover and enjoy a top-of-the-range vape experience from Vaporesso.
