Vaporesso Gen PT60 Review

Has Vaporesso made an unspillable vape? The new Gen PT60 is the only top-filling and top-airflow pod mod on the market.

The one-piece body is constructed from a robust and refined PC material with four coats of protection to reduce scratches from everyday use. The fire button feels hardy, firm and wobble-free — the overall device feels of the utmost quality you expect from Vaporesso.

Being the first and only pod kit to integrate top airflow and top filling in one system, the Gen PT60 combines these two heavily beneficial features in perfect harmony.

The tank uses a swivelling feature to access the rubber-plugged re-fill port, which, combined with the other elements, makes this vape so nearly impossible to spill. The entire pod tank is constructed to provide a smoother experience and simpler operation.

Though Vaporesso does not boast a specific chip for internal operations, the PT60 is equipped with a smart chip capable of automatic coil detection, adjusting the wattage to the ideal level for the coil's resistance.

Though the Vaporesso Gen PT kit comes with an OLED screen, there is nothing particularly special to discuss. Let's just say that the majority of the best features are built within the tank and coil.

Through the simultaneous press of the up-and-down buttons, you gain access to the menu screen displaying: VW (Variable Wattage), VV (Variable Voltage), SW (Smart Wattage), Default and Exit. I recommend the SW option as it is the one which does the work for you! The rest of the options are great, though seemingly unnecessary and confusing to most.

Fully charging the Gen PT60 takes around one hour using a USB Type-C cable since the pod mod includes 2A fast-charging.

The 2500mAh battery lasted me three days of use on a single charge! Which is far above the average of two days.

The unprecedentedly significant battery life is likely due to the pre-installed 0.4Ω (ohm) GTX mesh coil, which only demands 25-30W of power (half of the maximum 60W output).

The battery inside of the PT60 is the rough equivalent of just over four standard TPD disposable vapes, 1000mAh less than an external 18650 battery.

The internal battery should not and cannot be removed, meaning you must replace the entire mod with time rather than replacing the battery.

If you want a slightly greater battery life and are willing to purchase or already own an external battery, I recommend checking out the Vaporesso Gen PT80.

The Vaporesso xTank Pod delivers an impressive DTL (Direct to Lung) draw, especially breezy for a pod tank! The xTank is genuinely one of a kind; being both top-fill and top-airflow, it is the only pod tank on the market available with both!

As I mentioned in the features, Vaporesso combines two well-loved and sought-after elements with perfect chemistry and harmony, creating a whole new sector within the industry.

This makes this xTank pod really unique; the top-airflow system is the perfect solution for those suffering from leaky vapes (unless you leave it upside-down!).

By twisting the top aluminium cover, you control the airflow restrictiveness and gain access to re-fill the device. Before reclosing the cap, push the rubber stopper back in place to create a tight seal.

Through twisting, you can refine your RDTL (Restricted Direct to Lung) hit for the optimum experience and simpler operation through millimetre-fine increments; this enables the ideal flow of delicious vapour into your lungs.

Important to note: The device photographed is the non-TPD compliant model, holding 4.5ml of E-Liquid — 2.5ml more than the TPD standard xTank pod 2ml capacity.

Now, let's take a look at these replaceable coils!

The coils are other-worldly; they include the patented COREX heating technology (Morph-Mesh), ensuring more efficient and even heat distribution, preventing hot spots — certain mesh sections being significantly hotter than others — prolonging the time necessary in-between coil changes. Which is awesome!

Inside the Vaporesso GTX coils is Vaporesso's luxurious cumulus cotton. Specially made to prolong how long your vape stays tasting good! I cannot say I can totally taste the difference, though the flavour of the coils speaks for itself.

It is imperative to note this intricacy, as it is regularly overlooked; however, without good cotton, most users would undoubtedly have something to say!

The GTX mesh coils for the Gen PT60 vape kit range from a 1.2Ω (ohm) coil for a smooth and cool vapour to a potently powerful 0.15Ω coil for kick-ass clouds.

The 0.15Ω mesh coil, however, has a recommended ideal wattage of 70W, so even though it will work, I would advise against it — you will run your battery to the ground quickly while still being unable to reap the benefits of the coil.

The best coil for flavour and clouds in the PT60 is undoubtedly the 0.2Ω, cruising at a high yet steady recommended wattage of 55W (40W-60W range); you enjoy the maximum potential of this mighty little beast while not overpowering the device.

The GTX coil range also allows for a wide variety of E-Liquid shortfills and high-VG E-Liquids. I wouldn't recommend using nic salts for the sub-ohm coils, though if you desire to do so, it is possible with the higher +1Ω coils, making this mod remarkably versatile.

I would link the extensive battery life to the COREX heating technology inside of the GTX coils; this new mesh is clearly more power-efficient than standard mesh coils.

They are super easy to install, being press-fit into the pod and compatible with various Vaporesso vapes, making them widely available and the perfect sidekick for this mod.

Now, for the letdowns… (I aim to be as honest as possible, so I must write this.) Unfortunately, there are two big and questionable downfalls with this mod.

Firstly and foremost, the chip. Though the chip is a smart chip — though it is capable of detecting and automatically setting the correct power for each coil you use — the experience simply feels sub-standard compared to Vaporesso's new AXON chip!

If they hadn't created such an impressively exceptional chip, I would not be mentioning this, though I find it counter-intuitive not to implement the AXON chip; this little beast would have been a whole other animal!

Secondly, the screen… Though it is easy to read, being bright and bold, it is severely outdated compared to modern competitors and other vapes Vaporesso offers. Why did they do this? Anyway, it does the job, though I expected more.

But let's not end on a downer. This vape is an excellent mod; it is innovative and well-crafted. Not to mention my Mother loves it to pieces! I will see how long I can hold on to it before it mystically disappears.

The Vaporesso Gen PT60 vape mod is perfect for those who enjoy a particularly cool and airy DTL (Direct to Lung) draw; if you are already familiar with the experience of using a sub-ohm, the PT60 is an excellent option if you are accustomed to smaller, more lightweight vapes.

My mother tried this vape for a couple of days. She specifically emphasised that it is excellent for her needs due to how precise the E-Liquid level is and how compact and lightweight it feels in her hand.

The PT60 starkly contrasts her chunky and weighted Vaporesso Forz TX80, feeling far more natural and easy to use quickly and throw into her bag without concerns for E-Liquid spillages.

This vape is perfect for those who want power in a compact, elegant, lightweight body with a spill-resistant top.

The coils deliver impressive clouds without being too hot; this is especially prominent with the lower-powered coils.

If you're looking for a high-quality vape for a cheap price, you can't go far wrong with the Vaporesso Gen PT60 Kit; yes, it has its drawbacks, but a Vaporesso is a Vaporesso, and for something in this weight calibre and style, it is a sound choice.

Vaporesso has created a unique and specialised pod-mod with the PT60, creating something ideal for those looking for lightweight elegance to throw in their pocket nonchalantly. And it's insanely great value for money!

I am aware that this mod has certain aspects which make it less than perfect, though, despite this, I have enjoyed my time with it and can say it was an overall enjoyable experience.

I am pleased with the response the vape received from those around me who tried it, and though it may not be the vape for me, it certainly can be for you!
