Vaporesso Armour Ultra Vape Kit: A Rugged 100W All-Day Sub-Ohm Kit
Quick verdict: the Vaporesso Armour Ultra is a tough, high-capacity sub-ohm DTL (direct-to-lung, a big open draw into the lungs) mod kit. It pairs a huge 5500mAh built-in battery with 100W of power, GTi mesh coils and a top-fill tank, all wrapped in an IP68 and IP69K rated, MIL-STD-810H tested armoured body. Best for DTL vapers who want big clouds, strong flavour and a kit that survives daily knocks. Not ideal if you want a tight MTL draw or a small, pocket-light device.
This is a workhorse. The standout is the 5500mAh battery, one of the largest you will find, which means fewer charges and true all-day use. There are no separate cells to buy or charge on the side, because the battery is built in.

Pick Your Draw: DTL (Sub-Ohm)
The Armour Ultra is built for DTL vaping: you draw the vapour straight into your lungs for big clouds and warm, full flavour. Combined with GTi mesh coils and up to 100W, it is a cloud-and-flavour kit rather than a discreet one. If you want a tight, cigarette-like MTL draw, this is not the kit to choose.
Key Features
5500mAh built-in battery, one of the biggest around, for genuine all-day and often multi-day use.
Rugged certified build: IP68 and IP69K rated against dust and water, plus MIL-STD-810H toughness testing.
100W output with dual mesh GTi coils for dense vapour.
Top-fill, leak-resistant tank that refills quickly from the top.
Uni-Lock power button to prevent accidental firing in a pocket or bag.
Coils and E-Liquid Pairing
This is a sub-ohm kit, so pair it accordingly. The GTi mesh coils want a thick, high-VG 100ml shortfill e-liquid, usually 70% VG or more, rather than thin 50/50 or nic salts, which can spit and taste harsh in a low-resistance coil. Keep nicotine low, around 3mg to 6mg, because a sub-ohm coil delivers far more vapour per puff.
When flavour fades or you taste burning, fit a fresh Vaporesso GTi mesh coil. Prime each new coil first: add a few drops of e-liquid onto the exposed cotton, fit it, fill the tank, then let it stand for five to ten minutes before vaping. You can also fit a spare Vaporesso iTank if you want a second tank ready to go.
Battery, Coil Life and Running Cost
The 5500mAh battery is the headline. Most sub-ohm mods with a built-in cell sit around 2000mAh to 3000mAh, so the Armour Ultra will comfortably outlast them, often running well beyond a single day between charges. USB-C charging tops it back up when needed.
A GTi mesh coil typically lasts one to two weeks depending on how sweet your e-liquid is, since dark, sweet juices gunk coils faster. Your running cost is a coil every week or two plus your shortfill, far cheaper than disposables with far more flavour choice.
Compatibility and Refills
The tank uses Vaporesso GTi mesh coils, so replacements are easy to find. Refilling is top-fill: open the top cap and add your e-liquid, no need to remove the tank. The tank holds 2ml in line with UK rules. One practical advantage over rugged mods that take a loose 18650: the Armour Ultra battery is built in, so there are no separate cells or external chargers to buy, and nothing to insert incorrectly.

Who It’s For
The Armour Ultra suits a DTL vaper who wants big battery life and a kit that can take a beating on site, outdoors or on the go. The trade-off is honest: it is a chunky device, not a slim pod, and DTL vapour is large and gets through e-liquid faster than a small MTL setup. If you want warm, flavourful clouds and rarely want to reach for a charger, it fits. If you want a tight, discreet, cigarette-like vape, look at an MTL kit instead.

Vaporesso Armour Ultra FAQ
Which coils does the Vaporesso Armour Ultra use?
It uses Vaporesso GTi mesh coils. Fit a fresh coil when flavour drops or you taste burning, and prime each new coil first by adding a few drops of e-liquid to the cotton and letting it soak for five to ten minutes before vaping.
Is the Armour Ultra battery built in or removable?
The 5500mAh battery is built in and rechargeable over USB-C. You do not need to buy a separate 18650 cell or an external charger, which makes it simpler and safer to run than mods that take loose batteries.
What e-liquid should I use in the Armour Ultra?
Use a high-VG shortfill, usually 70% VG or more, at a low nicotine strength around 3mg to 6mg. The sub-ohm GTi coils make a lot of vapour, so thin 50/50 juice or nic salts can taste harsh and may spit.
Is the Armour Ultra MTL or DTL?
It is a direct-to-lung (DTL) sub-ohm kit, made for big, warm clouds drawn straight into the lungs. It is not designed for a tight, cigarette-like MTL draw, so switchers wanting that feel should choose an MTL kit instead.
How tough is the Armour Ultra really?
It is rated IP68 and IP69K against dust and water and is tested to the MIL-STD-810H toughness standard, with a TPU armoured chassis. That makes it well suited to outdoor and worksite use, though it is still an electronic device and not meant to be fully submerged for long.
How long does the battery last?
With 5500mAh, most vapers get well beyond a full day, and lighter users can go for two or more. Higher wattage and heavy cloud-chasing will use it faster, but USB-C charging tops it back up when you need it.
