Vaporesso Armour Octa Kit: 220 W and dual 18650 batteries

The Vaporesso Armour Octa kit is designed for vapers looking for a powerful, robust e-cigarette that is clearly geared towards direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping. Its mod can deliver up to 220 W and runs on two 18650 batteries, whilst the 6 ml iTank T Dual Mesh supports an airy DTL vaping experience.

With its AXON 3.0 chipset, four operating modes, colour display and numerous safety features, the Armour Octa combines power and customisation options in a reinforced design built for everyday use.

A Vaporesso mod built to last

The Armour Octa features a reinforced construction with several TPU sections designed to protect sensitive parts and better absorb impacts. Its grip also features a non-slip surface to improve handling.

The mod boasts several levels of protection:

• IP6X protection against dust and fine particles
• IP8X with claimed water resistance up to 1 metre for over 30 minutes
• IPX9K protection against high-pressure water jets
• Drop resistance tested from heights of up to 1.2 metres across 26 angles

The USB-C port is protected by a silicone cover. These certifications apply solely to the Armour Octa mod and do not apply to the iTank T clearomiser.

220 W powered by the AXON 3.0 chipset

The maximum power output of 220 W offers plenty of scope for using a range of compatible coils. The AXON 3.0 chipset allows you to choose between four modes depending on the desired performance.

• Pulse: delivers power in rapid pulses
• Eco: prioritises more moderate energy consumption
• Boost: increases power at start-up to accelerate heating
• TC: enables temperature control with SS, Ni or Ti-compatible coils

A 0.96" colour TFT screen displays key operating information. Vaporesso has also included a dedicated switch to lock the mod, allowing you to quickly secure the controls.

Two 18650 batteries and the Battery Guard system

The Armour Octa operates with two 18650 batteries, which are not included in the kit. This removable power supply meets the energy requirements of a mod capable of reaching 220 W.

The Battery Guard system monitors, amongst other things, the voltage difference between the two batteries and can cut off the output if this difference becomes too great.

The mod also features a USB-C port that supports a power supply of up to 5 V / 2.5 A. A thermal protection system stops charging if the temperature exceeds 75 °C.

iTank T Dual Mesh: a 6 ml DTL clearomiser

The Armour Octa kit is paired with Vaporesso’s iTank T Dual Mesh. Its tank can hold up to 6 ml of e-liquid, a capacity suited to high-power DTL use.

A TPU protective cover surrounds part of the tank whilst maintaining visibility of the e-liquid level. The iTank T also features a wide, adjustable dual airflow system, allowing you to adjust the draw whilst maintaining an airy DTL experience.

Two GTi Dual Mesh coils included

Vaporesso supplies two GTi Dual Mesh coils with the Armour Octa. Their design utilises two mesh elements to increase the heating surface area.

GTi Dual Mesh 0.2 ohm

The 0.2 ohm coil is designed for a generous DTL vape between 60 and 75 W, with a recommended optimal setting of around 65 W.

• Power: 60 to 75 W
• Recommended optimal setting: approximately 65 W
• Recommended PG/VG ratios: 30/70 to 20/80
• Recommended nicotine strength: up to 3 mg/ml

GTi Dual Mesh 0.4 ohm

The 0.4 ohm coil allows for a direct-to-lung draw whilst using a more moderate power setting. Its operating range is between 50 and 60 W, with a recommended setting of around 55 W.

• Power: 50 to 60 W
• Recommended optimal setting: approximately 55 W
• Recommended PG/VG ratios: 40/60 to 30/70
• Recommended nicotine strength: up to 6 mg/ml

The iTank T Dual Mesh is also compatible with the other GTi coils mentioned by the manufacturer, notably the 0.15, 0.2 and 0.4 ohm versions. A 0.15 ohm GTi Dual Mesh coil is also available separately.

Who is the Armour Octa kit designed for?

Measuring 146.3 x 30.8 x 55 mm and weighing 362 g, the Armour Octa does not seek to compete with ultra-compact pods. It prioritises a robust build, dual-battery power and high power output.

This kit will therefore be best suited to DTL vapers looking for a dual-battery mod offering a substantial power reserve, an open airflow and Dual Mesh coils, whilst also prioritising the device’s durability in the face of everyday wear and tear.

The Vaporesso Armour Octa kit is available in Switzerland from Sweetch.ch.
