Vaporesso Luxe Review – Does it shine?

One of the most notable changes between the all-new Luxe lineup and the previous Polar and Tarot designs is it seems that Vaporesso has forgone most if not all of the aggressive lines and edges iconic to their older design language. What we’re getting now with the Luxe is a much smoother and streamlined package that provides a more comfortable and ergonomic grip.

The straight and non-tapered sides and edges of the Vaporesso Luxe make it more akin to the design language of the modern smartphone, and to be frank, we’ve taken quite a liking to this all-new direction that Vaporesso is going in terms of design.

On the front, you’ll find a large format color TFT display which spans 2 inches and encompasses pretty much the entire width of the device with its edge-to-edge design. The enhanced screen real estate is both functional and a thing of beauty.

Colors are bright and vivid, and the enhanced contrast of the display becomes even more apparent when considering just how crisp the image is on the screen. Fonts and figures are clearly displayed and easily legible, and the improved TFT color matrix makes outdoor legibility a non-issue even when viewed or used underneath direct sunlight.

Probably one of the biggest and boldest departures to be seen in the Vaporesso Luxe is the shift from Vaporesso’s traditional button layout which has almost become iconic throughout the entire device lineup. Instead, the Luxe features purely capacitive buttons located directly below the screen with the only physical button being the firing button located on the side of the device. If you are someone who also uses 510 oil cartridges and other vapers have reported Tronian Pitron is a good place to start.

Those concerned about the lack of tactile feedback from the capacitive buttons should find small consolation in the fact that the front-facing capacitive buttons manage to squeeze in a haptic feedback feature which should make the transition a lot less jarring for newcomers to this type of interface.

Being fans of warmer vapes, we found a lot of things to like about the all-new SKRR tank’s airflow system. While most tanks often boast of wide airflow slots designed to maximize the amount of air the tank can pull in, this usually compromises vapor warmth and density which often results in a less flavour-packed and duller vaping experience.

The new QF coils used by the SKRR manages to avoid this common pitfall by using what looks to be a unique dual chamber housed within the tank to heat up passing airflow more quickly and efficiently than regular coil heads, resulting in a much warmer vaping experience.

Bundled inside the Vaporesso Luxe/SKRR kit is a QF Mesh coil rated at 0.2 ohms, a QF Strip rated at 0.15 ohms, and last but not the least, one of Vaporesso’s forever classics, the GT CCELL ceramic coil rated at 0.5 ohms. This brings up another strong point of the SKRR tank, which is its backward compatibility with all existing and previous GT sub-ohm coil heads. This is especially useful if you’re upgrading from an older Vaporesso or Smok tank since you’ll be able to use your existing stock with the SKRR tank without any issues at all. Users who are interested in 510 thread cartridges for oil often prefer the Linx Hermes 3.

Ease of Use

Despite the myriad of features supported by the Vaporesso Luxe, the device is surprisingly easy to use thanks to the well-designed user interface that meshes well with the capacitive buttons used to navigate the onscreen menu. Setting up the Vaporesso Luxe is quick, painless, and doesn’t require any tools.

The included sub-ohm coils thread smoothly and easily into the tank by hand and all it takes to power on the device is a quick 5 clicks on the power button for it to throw you straight into variable wattage mode.

If you’ve always been a fan of Vaporesso products due to their reliable and powerful performance but have always wished for a more streamlined and subdued design, the Vaporesso Luxe should definitely be the next device on your wishlist. The clean aesthetic of the kit paired with the efficient design of the included SKRR tank, make it one of the best looking and better-performing mods on the market, with little to no compromise in either form nor function.
