VaporessoThe Luxe X2 Vape Pod Kit By Vaporesso Bundle Kit by Vaporesso at 0mg. Free UK delivery over £20, same-day dispatch on weekday orders before 4pm.
The Vaporesso Luxe X2 Vape Pod Kit is a refillable pod system aimed at UK vapers who want more control than a basic draw-activated stick can offer, without stepping up to a full box mod and sub-ohm tank. It belongs to the Luxe family, which Vaporesso has built around a simple formula: a pocketable body, a pod you fill yourself from a bottle, a replaceable mesh coil, and a rechargeable battery large enough to last a normal day. The X2 refines that formula with a more capable battery, adjustable output and a coil system that is easy to swap when flavour starts to fade.
This listing is for the bundle kit. In practical terms that means you receive the device together with additional items packed alongside it, so you are not hunting for a spare coil or a charging lead on day one. Bundle contents can vary slightly between batches, so check the product images and the 'in the box' details on this page before you order. If you already own a Luxe device, the bundle is still worth considering because spare pods and coils are the parts that wear out first.
Because this is a refillable kit and not a single-use product, it sits outside the disposable-vape ban that came into force across the UK in June 2025. You buy the hardware once, then keep it running with e-liquid in 10ml bottles and replacement coils. Over a few months, that approach usually works out cheaper per day than buying one throwaway device after another, and it produces far less waste.
In the sections below we cover how the Luxe X2 performs, what it tastes like with different liquids, how the battery behaves, how the coil works, which nicotine strength makes sense, who should buy it and who should look elsewhere, how to set it up, and what to do when something goes wrong. We also compare it honestly with other pod kits at a similar price so you can decide whether it suits the way you vape.
Specifications are worth reading closely before buying any kit, because the numbers explain how the device will feel in daily use. The figures below are the ones that matter most for the Luxe X2. As with any hardware that gets small revisions over time, treat them as a guide and confirm against the packaging that arrives with your order.
The 2ml pod size is a legal limit rather than a design choice. UK regulations restrict the volume of refillable tanks and pods, restrict e-liquid bottles to 10ml, and cap nicotine strength at 20mg/ml. You will see that same 20mg/ml cap printed on the liquids that go in this kit, and it is the same cap that applies to the nicotine in disposables. It is one reason a higher-capacity battery matters: you will be refilling a small pod more often than the global marketing images suggest.
The 40W ceiling can look high for a pod system, but you do not need to use it. Most people settle between the mid-teens and the mid-twenties of watts, where mesh coils vaporise efficiently without burning through liquid. The headroom is useful because it lets you push a thicker, sweeter e-liquid harder when you want a warmer vape, then drop back when you want something gentler.
It is also worth noting what is not on the list: there is no variable voltage dial to learn and no temperature control mode to configure. Everything is handled by the chipset, so the learning curve is gentle for newcomers while still giving experienced users the knobs they typically want.
Pod kits are often judged on one question: does the vapour arrive quickly, and is it consistent from the first draw to the last? On the Luxe X2 the answer is generally yes. Mesh coils have a large heating surface, so they reach working temperature within a fraction of a second. You press, you draw, and vapour is there. There is none of the lag you sometimes notice on cheaper cotton-wick pods.
Vapour production scales with wattage. At low settings, roughly 12W to 18W, the Luxe X2 produces a cool, modest cloud that suits a nicotine salt liquid and a mouth-to-lung inhale, the style most ex-smokers find natural. Raise the output towards 25W to 30W and the vapour turns warmer and denser, which suits thicker liquids and a looser, more open draw. Pushing close to the 40W ceiling is possible, but it will use liquid and battery quickly and rarely improves flavour, so think of that range as occasional rather than everyday.
Puff count. Pod kits are not rated by puffs the way disposables are, because the number depends on how you vape. As a rough guide, a full 2ml pod of 20mg nicotine salt at moderate wattage gives somewhere between 400 and 600 puffs, with higher settings pushing the figure down. Over a typical day, a moderate vaper can expect to refill the pod once or twice. If you are used to a 600-puff disposable, a single pod fill lands in similar territory, but you control the flavour and can top it up for pennies.
Consistency. The chipset regulates output so that performance does not fall away dramatically as the battery drains, which is a common complaint with basic devices. You will still notice a softer hit when the battery is very low, but the drop is gradual. The draw-activated firing is quick, and the protections cut power cleanly if the device detects a fault, rather than letting a poor connection or a short heat the coil unpredictably.
Throat hit. Throat hit is governed mainly by your nicotine type and strength, not the device. Salt nicotine at 10mg to 20mg gives a smoother hit than freebase at the same strength, which is why most mesh pod kits are used with salts. We cover strength selection in detail further down.
Flavour is where a mesh pod kit like the Luxe X2 earns its keep. A mesh coil spreads heat evenly over a wide surface, which tends to render flavours cleanly: fruit tastes like fruit instead of a vague sweetness, menthol stays crisp, and desserts keep their separate notes rather than collapsing into a single sugary blur. The X2 does not impose a flavour of its own. What you taste is the liquid, rendered fairly faithfully.
That faithfulness cuts both ways. A well-made liquid will taste good, while a poorly balanced one will be exposed. If you have been vaping disposables and are used to a heavily sweetened profile, you may notice that a thinner, more natural fruit liquid tastes lighter at first. Give it a few days, because your palate adjusts quickly once you stop smoking and the novelty of a sweeter, heavier profile wears off.
Here is how different liquid styles tend to behave in this kit:
Viscosity matters. Mesh coils tolerate a wide range of liquids, but a very thick, high-VG mix can wick slowly at low wattage, giving a dry or muted draw. If you find a liquid tasting thin or burnt, nudge the wattage up a little or choose a 50/50 or 60/40 mix designed for pod systems. Nicotine salt liquids in 50/50 blends are the easiest match for this kit.
Switching flavours. A coil holds on to the previous flavour for longer than people expect. If you want to try something very different, particularly going from a strong menthol to a delicate fruit, either use a fresh coil or rinse the pod and let it dry thoroughly. Many vapers keep a dedicated pod or coil for menthol and another for everything else, and the bundle's spare parts make that practical.
The Luxe X2 has the slim, slightly rounded profile that has become a hallmark of the Luxe range. It is comfortable to hold, sits easily in a jeans pocket, and the body feels solid rather than hollow. Vaporesso uses a metal or metal-effect alloy body on its Luxe devices, finished in a texture that resists fingerprints reasonably well, and the pod clips in with a firm, confident seat.
Pod and fill port. The pod is designed to be filled without removing it from the device in many cases, via a silicone bung on the pod. Fill it slowly, aim the bottle nozzle straight into the port, and stop before the liquid reaches the top, since overfilling is the leading cause of leaks and gurgling. The pod walls are clear enough to check your liquid level at a glance, which is a small convenience that you appreciate more every time the device is about to run dry.
Airflow. The adjustable airflow lets you move between a tight, cigarette-like draw and a looser, more open one. This is useful in two ways. First, it allows newcomers to start restricted and loosen up as they get comfortable. Second, it helps fine-tune flavour: a tighter draw concentrates taste, while an open draw cools the vapour and produces a bigger cloud.
Buttons and display. The controls are minimal. A single button handles power and adjustments, and the device uses status indicators to show battery level and output so you are not guessing. It is intuitive enough that most people are comfortable within a day. A lock or standby behaviour helps prevent accidental firing in a bag or pocket, though it is always sensible to carry the kit with the pod seated and the device switched off.
Durability. A pod kit lives a hard life: pockets, bags, desks and car cup holders. The Luxe X2 handles that well. The pod is the most delicate part, so avoid dropping it or leaving it in direct sun on a dashboard, where heat can thin the liquid and push it past the coil. Clean the contacts with a dry cotton bud occasionally and the connection stays reliable.
Battery capacity is one of the first things to check on any pod kit, and the Luxe X2 does well here for its size. A cell in the region of 1500mAh is notably larger than the roughly 500mAh to 1000mAh found in many compact pod devices. In real terms, that means the difference between needing a charge by mid-afternoon and comfortably reaching the evening.
What to expect. At moderate settings in the high teens to low twenties of watts, many users will get a full day from one charge, particularly if they are not chain vaping. Use the upper end of the range and you may see that shrink to half a day. The relationship is simple: more watts means more energy per puff, so drawing fewer watts stretches the battery further. If battery life is your priority, run the device a few watts lower than you think you need and adjust upward only if the flavour is lacking.
Charging. The Luxe X2 charges through a USB-C port. USB-C is reversible, widely available, and is the same standard as most modern phones, so you can charge from the same plug as your handset. Use a sensible charger and the included cable, ideally a 5V adapter of 1A to 2A. A very high-output fast charger can be safe, because the device only draws what it needs, but there is no benefit to using one and a quality basic adapter is a good choice.
Charge time is typically in the region of an hour and a half to two hours from empty. The device can be used while charging in many cases (pass-through behaviour), though we suggest letting it charge unattended and uninterrupted when you can, since heat and a busy battery are not good partners.
Looking after the cell. Lithium-ion batteries last longest when they are kept away from heat and are not repeatedly run to zero. Avoid leaving the kit on a radiator, in a hot car, or under a pillow while charging. Never charge a damaged or swollen device, and never use a cable you suspect is faulty. If the device becomes unusually hot, stop using it and unplug it.
Safe disposal. When the device finally reaches the end of its life, do not put it in household bins or general recycling. Batteries cause fires in refuse vehicles and recycling plants. Use a designated recycling drop-off point, such as a council household waste recycling centre, or take it to a retailer that runs a take-back scheme for vapes and small electricals. Remove the pod and let the remaining e-liquid dry first where practical.
The coil is the heart of a vape, and understanding it makes you a better vaper. The Luxe X2 uses Vaporesso's GTX coil family, which is a mesh design. Rather than winding a thin round wire around a cotton wick, a mesh coil uses a flat, perforated sheet of resistance metal that sits against a wicking material. Because the sheet has a much larger surface area than a wire, it heats the liquid more evenly and more quickly.
There are practical benefits to that design:
Resistance options. GTX coils come in different resistances, measured in ohms. A lower-resistance coil draws more power and produces warmer, denser vapour with a looser draw, suiting those who like a bigger cloud. A higher-resistance coil is tighter, uses less power, and is closer to a mouth-to-lung experience. The exact options available in your bundle are printed on the coil itself, so check the markings and the recommended wattage range on the packaging, and stay within it. Running a coil outside its recommended range shortens its life and dulls the flavour.
Priming is essential. A new coil must be saturated before it is fired. Fit the coil, fill the pod, and wait at least five to ten minutes so that liquid soaks fully into the mesh and wick. Take a few gentle draws without pressing the button, then start at a low wattage. Skipping this step is the most common cause of a burnt first puff, and a burnt coil cannot be rescued.
How long does a coil last? The honest answer is that it varies. Expect roughly one to three weeks for an average user, shorter with thick, sweet liquids or high wattage, longer with thinner liquids and moderate settings. Signs that a coil is done include flavour that is flat or muted, a burnt taste even with fresh liquid, gurgling, or a rising tendency to leak. Replacing the coil is cheap and restores performance immediately.
Coil care. Avoid chain vaping at maximum power, never fire the device with an empty pod, and do not let the liquid level drop to the bottom. Dry firing is the quickest way to wreck a coil and can leave a harsh, lingering taste in the pod.
Choosing the right nicotine strength is the single biggest factor in whether a switch away from cigarettes succeeds. It also decides how smooth the Luxe X2 feels. UK law caps e-liquid at 20mg/ml (often written as 2%), and that cap applies to refill liquids and to the nicotine content of products sold for vaping generally. Most nicotine salt liquids are sold at 10mg or 20mg, with some at 5mg, 11mg or 18mg. Freebase liquids are sold in a wider spread, from 0mg through 3mg, 6mg and 12mg.
Nicotine salts versus freebase. Nicotine salts are formulated to deliver nicotine smoothly and to reach the bloodstream a bit faster, so a given strength feels gentler on the throat than freebase would. For a pod kit with a mesh coil and moderate wattage, salts are normally the better match. Freebase nicotine is harsher at high strengths and is generally better suited to lower-resistance, higher-power set-ups than a pod kit.
As a starting point, consider where you are coming from:
Signs the strength is wrong. If you feel lightheaded, nauseous, or you get a harsh, scratchy hit, the strength may be too high, so reduce it. If you are vaping constantly and still craving, it may be too low. Hitting the right strength is a personal calibration, and a small change either way goes a long way.
Wattage interacts with strength. The higher the wattage, the more vapour, and therefore the more nicotine, you take in with each puff. If you move up in wattage, you may find that a lower strength gives the same satisfaction. A lighter touch at lower wattage works well with 20mg salts, while higher power often calls for 10mg or lower.
A word on responsible use. Nicotine is addictive. Vaping is intended for adult smokers who want an alternative to tobacco, and these products are for people aged 18 and over. If you have never smoked, you do not need to start. Keep devices and liquids out of reach of children and pets. Anyone who is pregnant, has a heart condition, or has any health concerns should speak to a pharmacist or GP before using nicotine products.
Not every device suits every person, and being clear about fit saves you money. The Luxe X2 occupies a particular spot: more capable than an entry-level pod, simpler than an advanced mod. Here is how to tell whether it matches your situation.
It is a good match if you:
You may want something different if you:
Beginners. If you have never vaped, the Luxe X2 is approachable, though there are a few more steps than with a pre-filled device. You need to fill the pod, prime the coil and pick a nicotine strength. None of this is difficult, and the how-to section below walks you through it. Many first-time buyers prefer a refillable kit precisely because it gives them room to find a flavour and strength they actually like, rather than being locked to one factory fill.
Experienced vapers. If you already use pod systems, you will find the X2 familiar. The adjustable wattage and airflow give you the finesse that fixed-output devices lack, and the larger battery makes it a sensible backup or daily carry.
Age and legal. You must be 18 or over to buy vaping products in the UK, and we may ask for age verification on delivery. This kit is intended for adult smokers and existing vapers, not for young people or non-smokers.
Setting up a refillable pod kit takes a few minutes. Follow these steps in order and you will avoid the usual early frustrations such as leaks and burnt coils.
Refilling. Don't wait until the pod is dry. Top it up once the level drops to about a quarter, since running low risks dry hits that damage the coil. Always switch the device off before taking the pod out to fill.
Changing the coil. When flavour fades, empty any remaining liquid, remove the old coil and press in a new one. Repeat the priming process, and start at a lower wattage for the first few puffs.
Storage and transport. Keep the device switched off when not in use, store it upright where possible, and avoid leaving it in hot places. If you are travelling, carry a small tissue or cloth in case of residual leaks caused by cabin pressure changes.
Even well-made devices occasionally misbehave. Most problems with pod kits come down to a handful of causes, and the fixes are usually quick. Work through the list below before assuming something is faulty.
The device will not fire or shows a fault.
Burnt or harsh taste.
Leaking.
Gurgling or spitting.
Weak vapour or muted flavour.
Charging problems.
If you have worked through these steps and the device still misbehaves, get in touch with your order number and a short description. We can advise whether it is a consumable issue or a hardware fault that should be handled under warranty.
Value is more than the sticker price. With a refillable kit the real cost is the hardware plus the running costs of liquid and coils, spread over the weeks or months you use it. Looking at it that way is what makes pod kits attractive compared with a steady stream of disposables.
Running costs. A coil lasts a week or two for most users, and a 10ml bottle of nicotine salt provides about five full 2ml pod fills. A moderate vaper using one to two pod fills a day will typically get through a bottle every few days. Even with coils added, the daily cost is often a fraction of what a heavy disposable habit costs, and a lot lower than smoking. The bundle format helps by including spare parts so that you are not paying separately for the first replacement.
Environmental angle. A single reusable device, a few small coils and glass or plastic bottles generate far less waste than dozens of throwaway units, each containing a lithium cell. Recycling the coils, pods and eventually the device through a proper drop-off point closes the loop.
How it compares. Here is a fair look at where the Luxe X2 sits against other options, without pretending any one device suits everyone.
Our view. The Luxe X2 is a solid mid-range choice. It does not try to be the smallest or the cheapest, and it does not need to. If you want a reliable, adjustable, long-lasting pod kit with a well-supported coil range, it makes sense. If your priority is the lowest upfront price or the tiniest body, one of the compact alternatives may suit you better.

Vaporesso engineers some of the most reliable refillable kits on the market — XROS, Luxe XR and GTX-series tanks are standard recommendations for anyone moving beyond disposables. Pro-grade internals, sensible airflow and long-lived coils make it a safe pick for new and experienced vapers alike.
For most smokers switching over, a 10mg to 20mg nicotine salt works well in this kit, with 20mg suiting heavier smokers and 10mg suiting lighter ones. UK law caps e-liquid at 20mg/ml, so you will not find anything stronger. If the hit feels harsh or makes you lightheaded, drop down a strength.
It charges over USB-C and typically takes around one and a half to two hours from empty. At moderate wattage most people get a full day of use from one charge, while higher settings and heavy vaping will shorten that.
You can use most standard e-liquids in 10ml bottles, but nicotine salts in a 50/50 or 60/40 VG/PG mix are the easiest match for a mesh coil pod kit. Very thick, high-VG liquids can wick slowly at low power, so raise the wattage slightly if the flavour seems muted.
Most users replace the coil roughly every one to three weeks, depending on wattage, liquid thickness and how much they vape. Signs it is time include a flat or burnt taste, gurgling and leaking. Always prime a new coil for five to ten minutes before using it.
A full 2ml pod of nicotine salt at moderate wattage gives roughly 400 to 600 puffs, though this depends on your power setting and draw length. Because the pod is refillable, you simply top it up rather than throwing the device away.
For regular vapers, yes. The hardware is a one-off purchase, and the ongoing costs of liquid and coils are usually much lower than buying disposables repeatedly. A refillable kit also produces far less waste and lets you choose your own flavours.
It suits adult smokers and existing vapers who want an adjustable, refillable mouth-to-lung kit with a decent battery. It is not intended for non-smokers or anyone under 18, and it is not the right choice if you want massive clouds or a completely no-fuss pre-filled device.
Never put vapes, batteries or coils in household bins or general recycling. Take them to a council household waste recycling centre or a retailer take-back drop-off point that accepts small electricals and batteries.
