Vaporesso Armour Octa Vape Kit - Aero White is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
The Vaporesso Armour Octa Vape Kit is a high-powered sub-ohm vape kit built for experienced adult vapers who want strong DTL performance, adjustable power and the flexibility of replaceable batteries. With up to 220W output, the advanced AXON 3.0 chipset and the Vaporesso iTank T Dual Mesh Tank, it brings together powerful performance and practical everyday controls in a rugged design.
Powered by two external 18650 batteries, the Armour Octa gives you the advantage of removable cells rather than relying on a built-in battery. The included iTank T uses Vaporesso GTi Dual Mesh coils, while adjustable top airflow allows you to fine-tune the draw to suit your preferred style of direct-to-lung vaping. Batteries are sold separately.
The Armour Octa vape kit is particularly well suited to vapers who want more control than a simple pod system can offer. Wattage can be adjusted to match different GTi coils, while the AXON 3.0 chipset provides several operating modes for different vaping preferences.
At the centre of the Vaporesso Armour Octa is the AXON 3.0 chipset, offering a wide 5–220W output range. This gives experienced users plenty of room to adjust their setup, whether they prefer a more restrained DTL vape or higher-powered performance with suitable low-resistance coils.
The chipset also provides multiple modes, including Eco, Pulse and Boost options, allowing you to balance battery efficiency, consistent output and flavour performance. Temperature Control is also available for compatible setups.
Information such as wattage, battery level, coil resistance and selected mode is displayed clearly on the 0.96-inch TFT screen.
The Armour Octa uses two external 18650 batteries, giving users the convenience of replaceable cells. Batteries are not included, so two suitable high-drain 18650 cells must be purchased separately.
For safe and balanced use, choose a matched pair of batteries and keep them together as a dedicated set. Avoid mixing different battery brands, capacities, ages or charge levels.
USB-C charging supports DC 5V/2.5A charging, although users who regularly use removable batteries may prefer a dedicated external battery charger.
The Armour Octa mod is engineered with four layers of external protection, helping it stand up to the knocks and conditions that can come with everyday use.
Certification and testing claims apply to the mod only under standardised third-party laboratory conditions.
Safety is built into the Armour Octa through its 2X Battery Guard system. The device monitors external battery voltage and can stop output when the voltage difference between batteries exceeds 0.9V. This helps reduce risks associated with mixed, ageing or worn batteries.
The charging system also includes over-temperature and over-voltage protection. Charging is stopped when the internal temperature reaches above 75°C, helping protect the device during charging.
Accidental long button presses are managed by Vaporesso's Overtime 2.0 protection. A 10-second overtime trigger cuts the output, while repeated overtime triggers within two minutes can automatically switch the device off.
The protective design goes beyond the outer shell. A TPU tank cover helps shield the tank, while the cage-style structure provides additional impact protection. The USB-C port is protected by a silicone plug, and an anti-collision pad helps absorb impact.
The soft, non-slip surface also makes the device comfortable to hold. Inspired by the grip material used on motorcycle handles, the silicone-style finish provides a secure grip even during longer vaping sessions.
The included iTank T is designed for flavourful DTL vaping, combining dual widened airflow with GTi mesh coil technology. Its airflow system allows greater air intake for a smooth draw while helping reduce operating noise.
The tank comes with two GTi Dual Mesh coils:
| Coil | Recommended Range | Best |
|---|---|---|
| GTi 0.2Ω Dual Mesh | 60–75W | 65W |
| GTi 0.4Ω Dual Mesh | 50–60W | 55W |
The iTank T is also compatible with the wider Vaporesso GTi coil range, including the new 0.15Ω Dual Mesh option.
| GTi Coil | Recommended Range | Best |
|---|---|---|
| 0.15Ω Dual Mesh | 75–90W | 85W |
| 0.15Ω Mesh | 75–90W | 85W |
| 0.2Ω Mesh | 60–75W | 65W |
| 0.4Ω Mesh | 50–60W | 55W |
| 0.5Ω Mesh | 30–40W | 35W |
The 0.2Ω coil is the higher-powered option, producing a warmer and more intense DTL experience. The 0.4Ω version works at a lower wattage and can provide a slightly cooler vape while using less power.
The iTank T is compatible with the wider GTi replacement coil range, giving you flexibility when choosing your preferred resistance and wattage.
For these sub-ohm coils, a high-VG e-liquid, such as a 70VG/30PG blend, is generally the appropriate choice. High-VG liquids are designed for the larger vapour production associated with DTL vaping.
At the heart of the Armour Octa is the AXON 3.0 chipset, giving the device responsive power delivery and multiple vaping modes. Boost Mode is designed to maintain stable power output throughout the draw, helping provide consistent flavour when vaping at higher wattages.
The GTi coils use aerospace-grade CF cotton, which is designed to withstand sustained high-power vaping and provide a longer coil lifespan compared with standard coil materials, based on Vaporesso's laboratory testing.
Despite its rugged construction, the Armour Octa is shaped to sit comfortably in the palm. Its anti-slip surface provides a secure hold, while the protective tank cage adds to the distinctive rugged appearance.
Available finishes include:
Powerful vape mods need reliable safety systems, and the Armour Octa includes several built-in protections. Its Overtime 2.0 system helps prevent excessively long firing periods by stopping output after an extended activation.
Battery Guard monitors the two installed cells, while charging temperature protection helps manage heat during USB-C charging.
The result is a powerful setup with several safeguards built into the device without making everyday operation complicated.
The Armour Octa is designed specifically for DTL (Direct To Lung) vaping, making it better suited to experienced users who enjoy larger vapour production and a more open inhale.
Its combination of adjustable wattage, low-resistance GTi coils and adjustable airflow allows you to tailor the vape to your preference. The device measures 146.3 × 30.8 × 55mm, giving it a substantial but relatively streamlined form for a dual-battery mod.
Both devices belong to Vaporesso's Armour family, but they take different approaches to power and battery design.
The Armour Octa uses two removable 18650 batteries and delivers up to 220W, making it a strong choice for users who prioritise replaceable battery power and higher output.
The Armour Ultra, on the other hand, uses an integrated 5500mAh battery and offers up to 100W. This makes it more convenient for users who prefer not to handle removable batteries.

The iTank T supplied with the kit is compatible with the Vaporesso GTi coil platform. Available options include different resistances designed for different wattage levels.
The GTi range includes options such as:
Always check the recommended wattage printed on the individual coil before use.
The Armour Octa vape kit is intended for high-powered sub-ohm vaping, so a high-VG e-liquid is the better match for the included GTi coils. A 70VG/30PG e-liquid is a common choice for this type of setup.
Standard 50/50 e-liquid and higher-strength nicotine salt products are generally better suited to lower-powered pod systems rather than the high-powered GTi coils supplied with this kit.
Please note: 2 × 18650 batteries are required but are not included with the kit.
The Vaporesso Armour Octa Kit is aimed at experienced adult vapers who want a powerful DTL setup with removable batteries and plenty of adjustment. The 220W maximum output, AXON 3.0 chipset and GTi coil compatibility make it suitable for users who like to experiment with different wattages and coil resistances.
Its rugged construction also makes it a practical option for people who want additional protection against water, dust and accidental impacts during everyday use.
The Vaporesso Armour Octa Vape Kit is £54.99. At this price, you get the Armour Octa device, iTank T Dual Mesh Tank and two GTi Dual Mesh coils, giving experienced adult vapers a complete high-powered DTL setup.
The device requires two external 18650 batteries. They are sold separately. A matched pair of suitable high-drain cells is recommended.
The included iTank T is compatible with the Vaporesso GTi coil range, including the supplied 0.2Ω and 0.4Ω Dual Mesh coils.
A high-VG e-liquid, typically around 70VG/30PG, is recommended for the supplied sub-ohm GTi coils and DTL vaping.
It is primarily designed for experienced adult vapers because of its high power output, removable batteries and sub-ohm coil system. Beginners may find a lower-powered pod kit simpler to operate.
The device features IPX8 water resistance as well as IPX9K waterjet and IP6X dust resistance. These ratings apply to the Armour Octa mod and should not be assumed to apply to the complete tank-and-device setup.
Yes. The iTank T features adjustable top airflow, allowing you to alter the draw to suit your preferred DTL vaping style.
The Armour Octa Mod is the device on its own. The Armour Octa Kit provides the complete setup, including the Armour Octa mod, iTank T tank and GTi coils, so you can start using the kit once you have suitable 18650 batteries and e-liquid.
The Vaporesso Armour Octa Vape Kit brings together high-power performance, removable 18650 batteries, rugged protection and the versatile GTi coil platform. With up to 220W output, AXON 3.0 control, a dual-mesh iTank T and adjustable airflow, it gives experienced DTL vapers the flexibility to create a setup around their preferred power and airflow.
If you want a powerful sub-ohm vape kit with replaceable batteries, rather than a compact pod device with an internal battery, the Armour Octa offers a well-rounded combination of performance, control and durability.
For adult smokers and vapers only. Nicotine is addictive.
