Design and technology
The size of the Luxe PM40 pod system is only 96.5 x 30.6 x 21.5 mm, so it feels solid enough and not excessively heavy. While it’s available in five different colors, they all have gunmetal frames as well as colored IML panels that resemble wood.
The Lava option is red and black; the Jade is blue with a bit of brown; you might think the black option is black, but it’s not – it’s black and rainbow; respectively, the silver one is silver and rainbow; while the carbon fiber has the carbon fiber style design.
The thing you notice first is the single button, which is meant to act not only as a fire button but also as a button for wattage adjustment. Another side of the vape is fitted with a B&W screen. A high level of brightness and easily readable font make the symbols visible.
The back of the device has a slider, which is responsible for the airflow adjustment. For that one has to slide the metal rod, which sticks out on another side of Luxe PM40. The adjustment is not too big but it allows a certain level of flexibility.
Branding is pretty plain and barely noticeable. From the first perspective, this model is a stylish pod system with a variety of color options and a whole list of up-to-date technologies.
Opening the kit
Vaporesso Luxe PM40 is very user-friendly and simple to use. The device only has one button. At first, it might look weird, but as soon as you use it, you will see and convenient it. So the button was designed for all possible commands: turning on (five clicks) and turning off (same five clicks) and unlocking it to enter the adjustment regime (three clicks).
After the unlocking one should tap or hold to scroll through the wattage. When it reaches the needed level one should wait for a moment until the pod locks the wattage in. Then it should be relocked. One should also mind that this model does not have the auto-draw option, meaning one can hold it to fire while it’s locked.
The display on the side shows the wattage, resistance, a puff counter, and, what’s most important, the battery charge left. For the user’s convenience, it is displayed with a percentage, which boosts its usability and functionality.
The box of Luxe PM40 contains two pods and a couple of coils. A spare pod makes Luxe PM40 even more user-friendly as you can have it with you just in case. Refilling is a super simple task, as to do it one doesn’t even have to remove anything.
To refill the pod it’s enough to push back on the drip tip and the tip will pop. Once it’s off, one will see a big hole for a refill as well as a small hole for the air circulation in the process of refilling. It’s easy as that. The whole procedure is very understandable and simple. It also doesn’t create any mess.
When the juice reaches the 10% level the user can check it visually as the pod is clear. If one needs to remove the pod, they pull it out. There are no magnets used for this, just a simple technology that allows getting in and out in an easy way.
The procedure of coil replacement is also simple. When the pod is removed, one should pull the coil out from the bottom, pop in a new one, put the pod back into its place, and refill it.
Coils
Coils are the most significant part of the pod device. Therefore, they should be of the best quality. The Luxe PM40 kit has a couple of coils: 0.8-ohm (12-20 watts) and 0.6-ohm (20-30 watts) mesh coil. During the trial period, Luxe PM40 showed great results in flavor when using 50/50 20 mg nic salt juices, while one charge was enough to finish 20 mL of juice.
When using 70/30 3 mg juice, one coil can stand for the time needed for 28 mL of juice. This is a very competitive result compared to other pod devices. Luxe PM40 coils last long.
Battery and recharge
Luxe PM40 battery life varies depending on the coils and the wattage. Vaporesso stated that the charge rate is at 2 amps, however, some users have filed the information about not more than 1.5 amps instead.
The capacity of the battery is 1800 mAh, which was also questioned and not proven. Some users had the result of not more than 1400 mAh, which is a little disappointing. The good thing is that the 60-minute charging duration that was stated by Vaporesso in the advertisements is true and was proven by certain vape users.
