A mid-range pod kit that covers the full spread from tight MTL through to open DTL vaping, the Vaporesso Luxe X3 is a refillable pod vape kit pairing a 2600mAh built-in battery with a 5 to 45W output range and the full Luxe X Series pod ecosystem. Two dual mesh pods are included in the box, a 0.4Ω DTL pod pre-installed and a 0.6Ω MTL pod as a spare, with compatibility extending across the entire Luxe X range of built-in coil pods and GTX coil empty pods. If you're looking for a pod kit that handles multiple vaping styles without asking you to buy into a separate coil system, the Luxe X3 is worth a close look. In stock in the UK and ready to dispatch.
Below we break down the key features, pod compatibility, and real-world performance of the Vaporesso Luxe X3 pod kit to help you decide if it's the right vape for you.
What Makes the Vaporesso Luxe X3 Different?
The Luxe X3 sits at an interesting point in the Vaporesso pod kit range, powerful enough to handle genuine DTL vaping at up to 45W, compact enough to carry comfortably, and backed by a 2600mAh battery that is among the larger cells you will find in a device this size. For vapers who want one kit that adapts to different moods and styles rather than committing to a single draw type, that combination is difficult to match at this price point.
Output is adjustable from 5W to 45W via the 0.8-inch digital display, which also shows battery percentage and current wattage at a glance. A button-lock on the base prevents accidental firing in a pocket or bag. The kit ships with two 2ml dual mesh pods, both top-filling for clean, straightforward refilling, and the device is fully compatible with the wider Luxe X Series pod and GTX coil ecosystem, giving you access to resistances from 0.3Ω DTL through to 1.2Ω MTL without needing a different device. USB-C 5V/2A charging keeps downtime short relative to the battery size, and the Luxe X3 is available in eight colourways to suit different preferences.
How Does the Vaporesso Luxe X3 Compare to the Luxe X2?
The Luxe X3 builds on the previous Luxe X2 with a meaningfully larger battery and wider output flexibility. The X3 increases battery capacity to 2600mAh and extends adjustable output up to 45W, which allows the device to comfortably support both MTL and open DTL vaping in a way the X2 could not.
The Luxe X3 retains full compatibility with the Luxe X and Luxe XR pod ecosystem, so existing Luxe X2 users can carry their current pods and GTX coils straight across without replacing anything. For vapers upgrading from the X2, the larger battery and expanded power range make the X3 a natural step up without changing how the device is used day to day. The Luxe X2 used an 1800mAh battery, while the X3 increases this to 2600mAh, giving noticeably longer runtime between charges.
2600mAh Battery
The 2600mAh built-in battery delivers extended all-day use across both MTL and DTL vaping styles. USB-C 5V/2A charging keeps top-up times short, and the 0.8-inch digital display shows exact battery percentage so you always know where you stand.
Dual Mesh Pod System
Two dual mesh pods are included in the box, a 0.4Ω DTL pod pre-installed and a 0.6Ω MTL pod as a spare. Dual mesh construction delivers more even coil heating and consistent flavour output across each pod's lifespan, with top-fill access for clean, straightforward refilling.
5 to 45W Adjustable Output
With output adjustable from 5W to 45W, the Luxe X3 covers tight MTL vaping at lower wattage right through to open DTL performance at the top end. The digital display and simple button controls make wattage adjustment quick and readable at a glance.
AXON Chipset and Performance
The Vaporesso Luxe X3 is powered by Vaporesso's AXON chipset, which handles power delivery and consistency across the full resistance range supported by the device. The chipset reads the fitted pod resistance and adjusts output accordingly, which helps maintain stable performance whether you are running a low-resistance DTL pod at higher wattage or a tighter MTL setup at the lower end of the range.
In practical terms this means the device responds consistently across pod changes without requiring manual recalibration every time you swap coils. It also contributes to more even coil heating, which helps extend pod lifespan and keeps flavour quality stable further into each pod's life. The AXON chipset is the same platform Vaporesso uses across several of its higher-end devices, which is part of why the Luxe X3 punches above its price point for consistent day-to-day performance.
Luxe X Series Pod Compatibility and GTX Coils
The Luxe X3 is built around the Luxe X Series pod ecosystem, which gives it considerably more flexibility than most pod kits at this output range. Two pod types are included in the box as dual mesh built-in coil pods. Beyond those, the device is compatible with the full range of Luxe X Series built-in coil pods and both Luxe XR empty pod formats paired with GTX replacement coils.
For MTL vaping, the Luxe XR MTL empty pod accepts GTX coils in 0.6Ω, 0.8Ω, and 1.2Ω, the 1.2Ω delivering the tightest draw in the range at low wattage, suited to nicotine salt e-liquids at 10mg to 20mg. For DTL vaping, the Luxe XR DTL empty pod accepts GTX coils in 0.3Ω, 0.4Ω, and 0.6Ω, with the lower resistances producing a more open, airy draw at higher wattage.

Pod Compatibility and Coil Options
The Vaporesso Luxe X3 ships with two pre-included 2ml dual mesh pods and is compatible with the full Luxe X Series pod range. Use our coil finder tool to match the right pod to your vaping style, or use this quick guide:
- Open DTL draw at higher wattage? The included 0.4Ω dual mesh pod or the Luxe XR DTL empty pod with a 0.3Ω or 0.4Ω GTX coil are the best starting points.
- MTL or tighter RDTL draw? The included 0.6Ω dual mesh pod or the Luxe XR MTL empty pod with a 0.8Ω or 1.2Ω GTX coil will suit you better.
- Somewhere in between? The Luxe X Series 0.6Ω or 0.8Ω bottom-fill built-in coil pods cover the RDTL middle ground.
For DTL vaping, stick to freebase e-liquids with a higher VG ratio. Nicotine salt e-liquids are better suited to the MTL and tighter RDTL coil options. Browse the full Vaporesso pods range for all compatible options.
How Long Does the Luxe X3 Battery Last?
The 2600mAh battery in the Vaporesso Luxe X3 is one of the larger cells available in a pod kit at this size and output range. MTL vapers using the 0.6Ω or higher resistance pods at lower wattage will typically get a full day from a charge under moderate use, with many getting comfortably into a second day. DTL vapers running the 0.4Ω pod at higher wattage will draw the battery down faster, though a full day of use remains a reasonable expectation for most. When a top-up is needed, USB-C 5V/2A charging keeps downtime short relative to the battery capacity. For more on what to expect from Vaporesso pods and devices over time, our blog covers how long Vaporesso pods last in detail.
Real-World Performance and Long-Term Use
The Luxe X3 performs consistently across both draw styles included in the box. The dual mesh construction in both included pods produces even coil heating and flavour that holds well through the pod's lifespan rather than tailing off quickly after the first few fills. The 0.4Ω DTL pod at higher wattage delivers a satisfying open draw without requiring the kind of high-powered box mod setup that DTL vaping sometimes demands. The 0.6Ω MTL pod at lower wattage gives a controlled, flavour-forward pull well suited to nicotine salts.
Wattage adjustment via the digital display is straightforward, and the button-lock on the base is a practical addition for carrying the device in a pocket. Both button fire and auto-draw activation are supported, so the device works equally well for vapers who prefer one over the other. The top-fill design on both included pods keeps refilling clean and quick. As with any pod kit, sweetened e-liquids will reduce coil lifespan, a less sweetened liquid will extend pod life noticeably further regardless of which resistance you're using.

How Long Do Vaporesso Luxe X Pods Last?
Most Vaporesso Luxe X pods last between one and two weeks with typical daily use, though this varies depending on how frequently the device is used and what e-liquid is being vaped. The dual mesh construction inside the Luxe X pods distributes heat more evenly across the coil surface compared to single mesh designs, which contributes to more stable flavour and a longer usable life per pod.
Sweetened e-liquids tend to shorten pod life because the sugars caramelise on the mesh surface over time. Using cleaner 50/50 or standard freebase blends will extend pod life noticeably, particularly if you are running the device at higher wattage on the DTL coil options. Browse the Vaporesso pods range for all available replacement options.
Getting the Best From Your Luxe X3
When fitting a new pod, leave it to saturate for five to ten minutes before your first draw to avoid a dry hit on that initial pull. Start at the lower end of the recommended wattage range for whichever pod you're using and work upward to find the output that suits your preference, the digital display makes this quick to adjust.
For DTL vaping, use freebase e-liquids only with the lower resistance coil options. Nicotine salt e-liquids are not appropriate at DTL wattages and should be reserved for the 0.6Ω MTL pod and above. If you're new to nicotine salts, our guide to what nicotine salt e-liquid is covers the key differences clearly.
Who Is the Vaporesso Luxe X3 Built For?
The Vaporesso Luxe X3 pod kit suits vapers who want genuine flexibility across vaping styles without the bulk or complexity of a full box mod setup. The combination of a 2600mAh battery, 5 to 45W output range, and access to the full Luxe X Series pod ecosystem means it works equally well as a daily MTL device and an occasional DTL kit, depending on which pod is fitted. It is a strong choice for vapers who have outgrown a basic starter kit but are not ready to commit to a larger, higher-powered device.
It is not the right choice for vapers who want maximum DTL output beyond 45W, or for those who want a completely button-free, automatic experience, the Luxe X3 requires manual wattage adjustment and button activation. For vapers who want the simplest possible setup, the Vaporesso pod kit range includes more beginner-focused options.

E-Liquid Compatibility
A 50/50 VG/PG ratio is ideal for the MTL coil on the Vaporesso Luxe X3 Pod Kit, while a 60/40 blend works well across both draw styles. It supports both mouth-to-lung and restricted direct-to-lung vaping, with coil resistances spanning from 0.3Ω to 1.2Ω and an output range of 5-45W.
The MTL draw pairs best with nicotine salts at higher strengths for a smooth, satisfying hit. Switching to the RDL setting, lower-strength freebase e-liquids at 3mg or 6mg are the better pairing.
Each pod holds 2ml of e-liquid with a bottom fill design for easy, mess-free refilling.
Thicker e-liquids such as 70/30 high-VG blends are not well suited to compact MTL coils, they can struggle to wick consistently at lower wattages and increase the risk of dry hits.
For the MTL draw setting, Bar Juice 5000 nic salts makes a solid pairing, pick up a selection through our 10 nic salts for £16 deal to find your preferred flavour.
