VAPORESSO LUXE XR Review 2025

The LUXE XR is an amazing pod system from VAPORESSO, a company that is been doing great in the vape world. Over the years, they have constantly improved their products, which is a great sign.
The LUXE XR is a small update to their recent LUXE X. The biggest change? The XR now has replaceable coils instead of built-in ones. It comes with two different pods—one for mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping and one for direct-lung (DL) vaping. It also has a 1500 mAh battery and a huge 5 mL pod capacity.
The LUXE X was already fantastic so let’s see if these new replaceable coils make the XR even better.
VAPORESSO LUXE XR
The VAPORESSO LUXE XR Pod System Kit has a strong and tough body made from zinc alloy. It also has a built-in 1500mAh rechargeable battery. The power can go from 5W to 40W. Plus, it has smart control to check the pod’s resistance.
Inside, there is an AXON chipset and special heating tech that makes it heat up fast and evenly. This means you will get great flavor and big clouds. It also has leak-resistant technology so you won’t have messy leaks.
The LUXE XR Pod Kit comes with a LUXE XR Replacement Pod that holds 5ml of eLiquid. You fill it from the bottom with a silicone plug. It’s compatible with GTX coils, using a 0.4ohm GTX Mesh Coil for 20W-32W and a 0.8ohm GTX Mesh Coil for 12W to 16W.
These coils are built-in and can not be replaced, but they let you enjoy both restricted direct-lung (RDL) and mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping. The pod connects to the device with magnets to ensure it stays firmly in place.

Vaporesso LUXE XR Pod System Best Values
Vape Design
The LUXE X is bigger than most small vape pods but smaller than the bigger ones. It is just right in between! It has a longer battery life than most small pods and enough power for the bigger coils. It feels light but is still really strong.
The see-through case is super cool because you can see the chip inside. It is also really strong. As a tech fan myself, I love see-through cases! It looks almost the same as the LUXE X, with small changes to the logo and new colors. There are seven colors now—two from the LUXE X (black and silver) and five new ones.
Most of the colors fade from black to clear, with a small colored ring around part of it. The new colors include pink and gold, and three galaxy colors that look like a starry night. These come in blue, red, and purple. I got the blue galaxy one, and it looks beautiful with the clear case.
This device has just one button that does everything: it turns it on and off and works like the power button. There is no need to inhale to fire it up. At the bottom front, there are three LED lights that show the battery level. Overall, it is a simple and well-made vape pod system that looks great.
Using Guide
The LUXE XR is a simple vape pod that is perfect for beginners but it is also great for experienced vapers. To use it, you just press the fire button five times to turn it on or off. It is super easy! There are no power settings to worry about either.
What makes the XR different from the LUXE X is that it comes with two types of pods: one for mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping and one for direct-lung (DL) vaping. The MTL pod has a smaller airflow hole and a slimmer shape. The good news is, the pods can be used with both the LUXE X and XR devices.
Filling the pod is a breeze. The pod is magnetic and easily pops in and out. It is not too tight but the magnets hold it in place with no wiggle. To fill it, just remove the little black rubber plug on the bottom to open the fill hole.
The pod is mostly see-through but it can be hard to see the juice levels because of the dark tint. I am not sure why they do that since clear pods are much easier to use. When the juice is low, you have to tilt the device to see if there is any left at the bottom. But overall, using the LUXE XR is a great experience.
Performance

Coils are super important in vape devices. VAPORESSO has been making great coils lately and the LUXE XR uses the same awesome coils as the LUXE X. These are mesh coils with COREX technology, which they say gives 50% more flavor and lasts 50% longer. I am not sure how they measure flavor but the coil life is definitely good.
There are two coil options with the LUXE XR, each with its own pod. One is a 0.4-ohm coil for direct-lung (DL) vaping at around 30 watts, and the other is a 0.8-ohm coil for mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping at around 16 watts.
I think the low-power DL coils feel like they are in between and do not give enough power for my taste. But if you like around 30 watts, it works well as a small DL vape. The MTL coil is where it really shines, giving a medium to loose MTL experience. It also has a longer battery life than most MTL-only pods and is still very portable. Plus, the pod holds a big 5 mL of juice compared to the usual 2 mL, making it great for all-day vaping.
About Battery Life
The LUXE XR is great for all-day use, especially if you use it in MTL mode. It has a 1500 mAh internal battery and charges at 1.5A with a Type-C port located at the bottom. So, you will need to lay it down while charging. I prefer ones that can stand up while charging but it is not a big deal.
When I tested the charging, I got a maximum of 1.18A, which is decent. It takes about 61 minutes to fully charge, which is average for pod systems. The battery size is a bit under 1200 mAh, so it is a little overrated. Most devices are rated about 20% higher than what you actually get so this is pretty normal. The device also has passthrough so you can vape while it is charging.
This is almost the same device as the LUXE X but batteries can vary a bit. So, you can expect about 1150-1250 mAh from this device, which is still 2 to 3 times more than a standard MTL-only pod.
The three LED lights show the battery level:
- Three lights – 60 to 100%
- Two lights – 30 to 60%
- One light – 0 to 30%
I wish they had a four-step meter like a recent device I reviewed, the GEN AIR 40. Three steps is common but I find it a bit disappointing.
Last Words
VAPORESSO did a great job with the LUXE XR! It is like the LUXE X, but with replaceable coils so you do not have to throw away the whole pod when the coil dies. It works just as well but it costs less in the long run and creates less waste.
If you like a medium-loose mouth-to-lung (MTL) vape and want something small that lasts a long time, the XR is perfect. It is really good for that! If you like low-wattage direct-lung (DL) vaping, it is okay but the XR is best for people who want an all-day MTL device or are new to vaping and want something easy to use.
