If you’ve been searching for a smoother, more flavourful vaping experience, Vaporesso’s COREX 2.0 coil technology could be exactly what you’re looking for. COREX 2.0 represents cutting‑edge tech that boosts flavour, durability and performance; and it’s built into kits such as the XROS 5 and XROS 4 Mini, plus the LUXE X Corex 2.0 Replacement Pods. As vaping trends shift and refillable pod systems take centre stage across the UK, more vapers are opting for devices that offer longer life, consistent performance and better value. That’s where COREX 2.0 steps in.
Switching to refillable pod systems with LUXE X Corex 2.0 Replacement Pods offers great value for UK vapers, combining advanced technology with cost-effectiveness.
What is COREX 2.0 Heating Technology?
COREX 2.0 is Vaporesso’s latest evolution in mesh coil design. At its core (pun intended) is a unique Corex mesh build and “morph-mesh” coil structure paired with an advanced cotton called cumulus cotton. This setup enables faster heating and allows the coil to heat e-liquid quickly and evenly, resulting in explosive taste and improved aroma production. The morph-mesh coil structure also achieves optimal temperature matching, ensuring consistent and enhanced flavour with every puff. The result? A vape that ramps up fast, delivers consistent flavour, and maintains vapour quality puff after puff.
It’s a bit like having the best seat at the gig: Every draw is rich, full, and right on beat.
What Makes COREX 2.0 Stand Out?
Here’s why COREX 2.0 has become a favourite among UK vapers:
- Flavour that hits right: The morph-mesh design ensures even heating, meaning no burnt spots or weak draws.
- Boosted flavour: Enhanced coil technology delivers a richer, more intense taste experience.
- Faster ramp-up: You don’t have to wait for the flavour to kick in, it’s instant.
- Longer pod life: Better heat distribution = less strain on your coil.
- Consistent vapour: From first puff to last, performance stays smooth.
- Less mess: COREX pods are built to minimise leaks; handy when you’re on the move.
- Tailored to you: Whether you’re into MTL or RDL, there’s a pod for your style, and different pods are suitable for a variety of flavours, which can impact pod longevity.
For optimal results, we recommend pairing lower-resistance pods with high-VG e-liquids and higher-resistance pods with high-PG or specific flavours, as this enhances flavour transfer and can extend pod life.
Vaporesso XROS Series Overview
The Vaporesso XROS Series stands out as a cutting-edge collection of vape kits, engineered to deliver a truly elevated vaping experience. With the integration of COREX 2.0 technology, these devices offer a noticeable boost in both flavour and vapour output, making every puff satisfying and smooth. Whether you’re drawn to the sleek XROS Pro or the ultra-portable XROS 4 Mini, you’ll find that each device in the XROS Series is fully compatible with COREX 2.0 pods.

These pods are designed to cater to both mouth-to-lung (MTL) and direct-to-lung (DTL) preferences, closely mimicking the sensation of traditional smoking while also supporting more open, airy draws for those who prefer a DTL style. Read more about MTL, DTL, and RDL here.
The XROS Series is all about flexibility, offering a great range of options to suit your vaping style, with refined airflow and flavour that’s hard to beat. Plus, with excellent prices and fast delivery available, upgrading your vape kit to a Vaporesso XROS device is a smart move for anyone seeking a reliable, flavourful, and modern vaping experience.
Which Vaporesso XROS Pods Use COREX Technology?
COREX 2.0 isn’t limited to just one or two kits, it’s part of a growing ecosystem across Vaporesso’s latest generation of refillable pod devices. If you’re using any of these, you’re already benefiting from COREX tech:
The following pods use COREX 2.0 technology: XROS pods, XROS Corex 2.0 pods, and other Corex pods, offering a wide range of options for different vaping preferences.
- Vaporesso XROS Series: Including the XROS 5, XROS 3, and XROS Nano—great for portability and ease of use.
- Luxe X & Luxe XR: Ideal for those who want a slightly more powerful pod experience.
Replacement pods, including classic XROS replacement pods and DTL refillable pods, are available in packs and are compatible with the XROS series and same kits, often featuring the same resistances for easy interchangeability. Vaporesso XROS Corex 2.0 pods and Vaporesso XROS pods are compatible with a range of XROS devices, and the XROS pod features leak resistance, upgraded mesh coil technology, and easy top-filling for improved flavour and maintenance.
These devices offer a variety of pod resistances, typically ranging from 0.4Ω to 1.2Ω. So, whether you prefer a tighter MTL draw or a more open RDL feel, there’s an option to suit you. Most pods are top-fill too, making refills quick and faff-free.
Please note that some pods are only compatible with specific devices; for example, the 0.4 Ohm pod works exclusively with the Vaporesso XROS 4, XROS Pro, and XROS 4 Mini. The coil inside is integrated into the entire pod, so when the coil is finished, you simply replace the entire pod for easy maintenance. These pods are compatible with the XROS series and compatible with the XROS kits, ensuring flexibility across the product line.
Just a heads-up: COREX 2.0 pods are designed for newer Vaporesso devices, so it’s best to check your model for compatibility before picking up a pack.
E-Liquid and Nic Salt Options
One of the standout features of the Vaporesso XROS Series is its compatibility with a great range of 50/50 e-liquids and nic salts, thanks to the advanced COREX 2.0 pods. Whether you prefer the smooth throat hit of nic salt, the rich clouds of high VG e-liquid, or the balanced experience of a 50/50 blend, there’s a pod and coil combination to match your taste. For those who love sub ohm vaping and bigger vapour, pairing the 0.4ohm COREX 2.0 coil with high VG e-liquid is ideal. If you’re after a more classic, cigarette-like feel, the 0.6ohm, 0.8ohm, 1.0ohm, and 1.2ohm pods work brilliantly with nic salts, high PG, or 50/50 e-liquids.
This flexibility means you can experiment with a wide variety of flavour combinations, ensuring your vaping experience is always fresh and tailored to your preferences. The XROS Series makes it easy to find your perfect liquid match, so you can enjoy consistently great flavour and vapour, no matter your style.
COREX 2.0 vs COREX 1.0: What’s New?
The first generation of COREX pods, known as COREX 1.0, laid the foundation for Vaporesso's innovative pod technology. COREX 2.0 builds upon this original version with meaningful improvements: It heats more evenly, extends pod life, and boosts flavour intensity without requiring higher wattage. Think of it as the same great vibe, just turned up a notch.
Leaking and Mess Prevention
Say goodbye to leaks and messy refills with the Vaporesso XROS Series, thanks to its innovative SSS Leak-Resistant Technology. This cutting-edge feature, combined with a user-friendly top-fill port and a built-in coil design, ensures your vaping experience stays clean and hassle-free. Simply fill your pod through the dedicated fill port: No more spills or sticky fingers. The refined adjustments in COREX 2.0 pods also help prevent e-liquid shortage and burnt taste, so every puff is as smooth and flavourful as the last.
