How Does the Vaporesso Armour Max Perform?

The Vaporesso Armour Max performs strongly across wattage accuracy, battery life, and flavour production, delivering 208W tested output, 2+ days between charges at 65W with 21700 cells, and rich flavour from the mesh coil and iTank 2 combination.

Performance matters more than specs once unboxing excitement fades. I ran this kit through three weeks of varied use, from chain-vaping at my desk to moderate outdoor sessions.

What Tank and Coil Options Does the Vaporesso Armour Max Have?

The Vaporesso Armour Max comes with the iTank 2 sub-ohm tank using Vaporesso's GTi coil ecosystem, offering mesh options from 0.15Ω to 0.4Ω for different wattage preferences and vaping styles.

✓ Included

0.2Ω

GTi 0.2Ω Mesh Coil

The 0.2Ω GTi mesh coil operates in the 60-75W range with a sweet spot around 65W. This is the workhorse coil for most DTL vapers, delivering strong flavour, decent cloud production, and a good balance between performance and battery consumption. It comes pre-installed in the tank. For high-VG shortfills at 70VG or above, this coil handles them without issue.

✓ Included

0.4Ω

GTi 0.4Ω Mesh Coil

The 0.4Ω GTi mesh coil runs between 50-60W, saving battery life compared to the lower-resistance option. Flavour is slightly less intense than the 0.2Ω, but the difference isn't dramatic. If extended battery life matters more than maximum flavour, this is your coil. Partially closing the airflow tightens the draw slightly for a more satisfying hit at lower wattages.

0.15Ω

GTi 0.15Ω Mesh Coil

The 0.15Ω GTi mesh coil is available separately for 75-85W vaping, aimed at those wanting maximum vapour production. It's not included in the kit, so you'd need to buy a pack if high-wattage cloud chasing is your priority. Most users will find the included coils more than sufficient.

How Does the Vaporesso Armour Max Compare to Other Mod Kits?

The Vaporesso Armour Max Kit earns a solid recommendation for experienced vapers wanting a rugged, long-lasting dual-battery mod that delivers on performance without premium pricing.
