The VAPORESSO ARMOUR G is quickly gaining attention as a compact, feature-packed DTL pod mod that appeals to both seasoned vapers and cloud chasers. It builds on Vaporesso’s reputation for quality and innovation, packing an 80-watt output and a hefty 3000mAh built-in battery into a sleek, ergonomic frame.
The device feels stylish and comfortable in hand, with a vibrant 0.96-inch TFT display that offers customizable dynamic themes. Its leak-resistant top-fill pod system adds reliability, making it a solid choice for all-day vaping without compromising flavor or performance.
Powered by Vaporesso’s AXON chipset with Neo Pulse Mode, the ARMOUR G delivers consistent power and stable flavor from full to low battery. It supports the full GTX coil series and comes with 0.2Ω and 0.4Ω mesh coils, catering to a variety of vaping styles—from dense clouds to smoother draws.
The pod holds up to 5ml of e-liquid (2ml in TPD regions) and features a four-level precision top airflow adjustment for fine-tuning your experience. Fast USB-C charging (5V/2A) gets you back up in under an hour, and safety protections like overheat and short-circuit safeguards round out the package.
Some users mention the 0.2Ω coil can be a bit thirsty, and the silicone fill port could be sturdier, but overall, the ARMOUR G impresses with its blend of power, versatility, and style in a compact form.
Build Quality and Design
The ARMOUR G sports a compact pod-mod design that feels modern and solid in the hand. Its metal frame is wrapped with soft, leather-like cushions on the sides, adding a touch of luxury and excellent grip for longer sessions.
The pod itself features a unique car seat-like fabric, giving it a distinctive look and a tactile, grippy feel. At 113mm tall and 38mm wide, it’s portable without feeling fragile, and the overall build quality feels robust enough for daily use.
The 0.96-inch TFT display upfront is a standout, offering vibrant colors and three customizable dynamic themes. LED accent strips on the sides add personality, though some users wish for more customization options there.
The pod attaches securely and uses a top-fill system with Vaporesso’s SSS leak-resistant technology. The top airflow ring offers four-level precision adjustment, making it easy to dial in your preferred draw.
The USB-C charging port is conveniently placed, and a dedicated lock slider adds safety. While the silicone fill port feels a bit flimsy, the overall fit and finish are impressive, with every element thoughtfully designed and well executed.
In short, the ARMOUR G balances premium style with practical ergonomics, standing out without being flashy.
Performance
After spending considerable time with the ARMOUR G, I can say its performance meets and sometimes exceeds expectations for a modern DTL pod mod. The AXON chipset with Neo Pulse Mode ensures steady power delivery, so flavor and vapor remain consistent from full battery to near empty.
The included GTX mesh coils perform well: the 0.2Ω coil is a cloud-producing powerhouse at 60W, while the 0.4Ω coil offers a smoother, cooler vape at 30W. The top airflow ring is a highlight—leakage is minimal, and the four-level adjustment lets you customize your draw from restricted DL to more open.
The 5ml pod capacity (outside TPD regions) means fewer refills, but keep in mind the 0.2Ω coil is quite thirsty, so juice consumption can be high during chain vaping.
Coil longevity is impressive. I’ve used the 0.4Ω coil through about 30ml of e-liquid with no noticeable drop in flavor or vapor production. The 3000mAh battery easily powers a full day of moderate to heavy use, and USB-C fast charging is a real convenience—full charge in under an hour.
One downside is the lack of a dedicated MTL coil in the box. While the device supports the full GTX coil line, the included coils lean toward RDL and DL vaping. The MTL draw feels a bit loose for those who prefer a tighter pull.
The silicone fill port’s flimsy feel is a minor gripe but worth noting. Overall, the ARMOUR G nails consistent, customizable performance with great flavor and solid battery life.
Battery Life and Charging
The ARMOUR G’s 3000mAh built-in battery is substantial for a device of its size and power range (up to 80W). Realistically, usable capacity hovers around 2400–2500mAh after efficiency losses.
Vaporesso claims a full charge in under an hour via USB-C fast charging at 5V/2A, which aligns with typical performance for this class. Most devices charge at around 1.6–1.8A for most of the cycle, tapering off near the end to protect battery health.
Users report the ARMOUR G easily lasts a full day of moderate to heavy vaping, even with the power-hungry 0.2Ω coil. An Eco Mode helps extend battery life further, and the TFT display clearly shows charging status.
Charging usually completes in 50–60 minutes, which is above average for similar devices. The device does get warm during pass-through charging, but this doesn’t affect safety or performance.
Overall, the ARMOUR G delivers quick charging and reliable all-day battery life, making it a strong contender for vapers who want power and convenience.
