Vaporesso Vape Brand Overview
By: David PhillipsVaporesso is one of the most trusted names in vaping, known for innovation, quality, and stylish design. Whether you’re new to vaping or a seasoned pro, this guide will explore their vape kits, e-liquids and coil technology to help you understand what makes Vaporesso a premium vape brand.
Who Are Vaporesso?
Vaporesso was founded in 2015 as a flagship brand of Smoore, one of the world’s largest vape manufacturers. With over a decade of R&D in atomisation, Vaporesso has led the charge in safe, innovative vaping with patented technologies like the AXON chip and SSS leak-resist system, designed to make high-quality vaping accessible to everyone.
Their early vapes like the Target Mini and Revenger helped set the tone: sleek, powerful, and packed with features that made vaping easier (and far less fiddly). They were also one of the first to take pod systems seriously, launching the ZERO in 2018, years before everyone else jumped on the pod bandwagon.
Fast-forward to now, and they’ve filed over 800 patents, built a reputation for consistent innovation, and managed to stay one step ahead on both design and safety. Vaporesso aren’t just keeping up with the vape industry, they’re helping shape where it goes next.
Why Do People Choose Vaporesso?
Winning products come from a deep understanding of the user's needs combined with an equally deep understanding of what's just now possible.” - Marty Cagan.
Products succeed because they fill a need and do it well. This is why people tend to gravitate towards Vaporesso: they consistently deliver devices that aren’t just stylish or well-built, they genuinely solve the everyday challenges vapers face, with smart tech that’s user-friendly, reliable, and ahead of the game.
Vaporesso Highlights & Benefits
1. Build quality
Vaporesso vape kits are exceptionally well put together. Whether you’re picking up something compact like the XROS Mini or something chunkier like the Luxe XR Max, there’s a real attention to detail in how they’re built. Buttons feel solid, pods slot in snugly, and nothing rattles. Even the finish, whether matte, glossy, or metallic, holds up well after weeks of pocket life. For many vapers, Vaporesso strikes that sweet spot between style and durability.
2. Innovation
Vaporesso weren’t just early to the pod system game, they helped define what a good one looks like. While other vape brands were still pushing basic, leaky vape pens, Vaporesso was already rolling out sleek, refillable pod kits with real power and features that actually mattered. Devices like the original Zero and the early XROS pods brought top-fill designs, smart airflow control and auto-draw to the mainstream - features we now all take for granted. You can see their design echoed across countless other brands.
3. SSS (Super Saturating System) Leak Resistance
Leakage is one of the most common frustrations in vaping, and Vaporesso tackled this head on with their patented SSS leak resistant tech. And it’s not just clever marketing, it genuinely works. The system combines tightly sealed pod components, pressure regulating airflow, and specially designed nano-cotton that retains e-liquid more efficiently. It’s the kind of engineering that means you can chuck your vape in a bag or pocket without worrying it’ll soak everything. Nowadays other brands have caught up, but Vaproesso’s SSS system is easily one of the most reliable and consistent.
4. COREX Tech Flavour
Vaporesso’s COREX mesh coils are a big part of what makes them such popular vape kits. Instead of fading or burning out after a couple of days, these mesh coils deliver clean, punchy flavour for days and sometimes even weeks. The tech behind it is all about quick wicking cotton, even heat distribution and faster ramp up times, which translates to more accurate flavour and better efficiency. You’ll notice the difference especially if you’re a flavour chaser or tend to stick to one juice. Flavours come through sharper, and stay that way well beyond what you’d expect from most mesh pods.
5. AXON Chip Pulse Vaping
The AXON chipset is the intelligent brain powering many Vaporesso devices, from compact pod kits to powerful mods. It doesn’t just fire a coil when you inhale, it manages how heat, power, and even flavour are delivered, in real time, to give you a smoother, more enjoyable vape.
Pulse Mode is a standout feature of the AXON chip. Instead of one continuous burst of power, the coil is pulsed every 0.02 seconds (roughly 50 times each second!). Vaporesso even claims up to 27% more flavour and cloud with Pulse in its GEN series.
What this means for you:
-
Consistent temperature during inhale: no more hot spots or weak flavour.
-
Clearer, fuller flavour and longer coil life.
-
Consistent draw with dry hit reduction.

The Vaporesso XROS Series
Vaporesso has dominated the refillable pod vape market with its dependable XROS series. Simple design that caters to users' need for an easy to use vape that delivers on flavour and minimises hassle, this series provides just enough tech to make life easier without being overcomplicated, delivering innovations in mesh coil design, usability and battery capacity.
Highlights of XROS Vape Kits
Corex Mesh Coil Technology - A massive boost in flavour achieved with quick wicking cotton that holds e-liquid consistently and increased coil surface area with fast and even heating.
Coil Variety - Ranging from 0.4 ohm to 1.2 ohm, they support all vaping styles from mouth-to-lung (MTL) to restricted direct to lung (RDL) and direct to lung (DTL), they can even be used with high VG e-liquid.
Coil resistances and what they mean:
1.2Ω: 7-15W, cigarette like draw (MTL vaping)
1.0Ω: 7-20W, tight draw (MTL vaping)
0.8Ω: 0.8ohm: 10-20W, loose draw (MTL vaping)
0.6Ω: 15-40W, airy draw (RDTL/DL vaping)
0.4Ω: 25-55W, wide deep inhale draw (RDL/DTL vaping)
Top Refillable Pods - Instead of irksome silicone seals you have a removable mouthpiece for quick and hassle free topping up. There's no need to tip the device on its side, or take the pod out, for that matter. The upright, easy access design means there's less chance you'll spill your liquid.

XROS Mini (Original)
The one that started it all. The original XROS set the tone with mesh pods that delivered consistent flavour, a handy top-fill design, and dual firing modes so you could vape with a button or just inhale. It’s slim, sturdy, and still holds up if you want a no-fuss MTL vape that can be relied on.

✅ Dual activation: inhale or press-to-fire
✅ Mesh pods deliver great flavour
✅ Easy clamshell top-fill
Cons
❌ Smaller 800mAh battery
❌ No wattage control or Pulse Mode
❌ No adjustable airflow
❌ Feels a bit dated next to newer models
Vaporesso XROS Mini Pod Kit £3.95
XROS 2
The XROS 2 took everything from the original and refined it. A bigger battery gave it more stamina, and the new “water drop” airflow design made draw control even smoother. It kept the same leak-resistant pod setup and clamshell top-fill, but felt more polished overall.
Pros

✅ Improved airflow control with “water drop” design

❌ Limited to MTL (not ideal for RDL fans)
XROS 3
The Vaporesso XROS 3 stepped things up with a more modern finish, better airflow tuning, and Pulse Mode powered by the AXON chip. That means smoother, more consistent hits, especially noticeable if you like a longer draw. The mouthpiece was tweaked for better comfort, the battery indicator got a bit of style, and COREX heating helped make flavour richer and more stable over time. It’s a great all-rounder for MTL and RDL draws.

XROS 4
The XROS 4 introduced proper wattage control, so you could toggle between three power levels, and it kept the adjustable airflow and top-fill system. COREX 2.0 coils meant even better wicking and efficiency, and the flavour was richer right from the first puff. It’s still beginner-friendly, but now it caters more to vapers who want a little extra say in how their vape hits.
Our XROS 4 setup video guide will show you how this vape kit works.
Pros
✅ Three power modes, finally, adjustable wattage!
✅ Uses COREX 2.0 mesh pods for better efficiency

XROS 5
The latest in the line, the XROS 5 builds on everything that came before and adds capacity improvements and even more fine-tuning. It supports full MTL and RDL vaping, has an upgraded 1500mAh battery for longer runtime, and uses the latest COREX 3.0 mesh tech for even better flavour consistency. You still get the signature XROS simplicity, easy top-fill, smart airflow, and no leaking, but with more polish, an interactive screen, and extra control baked in. It’s the most versatile model yet, ideal for vapers who want sleek looks and smart performance.

Vaporesso XROS 5 Pod Kit £3.95
XROS Pro
The XROS Pro was the heavyweight of the bunch until the XROS 5 came out. With up to 30 watts of power and a lower-resistance pod, it’s geared for RDL as much as MTL. You get full airflow control, a screen that shows your power level and battery, and a slide-lock button that keeps it pocket-safe. The 1200mAh battery charges in just over half an hour, and the Pulse Mode keeps things running smoothly right down to the last puff. If you want a compact vape that feels more like a full kit, this one’s it.
