- VAPORESSO claims that its CoreGuard coating reduces metal leaching and extends coil lifespan. The company also reports up to six refills per pod and a tested coil lifespan of up to 150,000 puffs.
- The UK MHRA published a VAST device notification on October 12, 2026. The official MSRP is $25.90, while VAPORESSO's direct store lists the device at $35.90.
2Firsts October 30, 2026
VAPORESSO, a vaping brand owned by China's SMOORE, introduced the VAST refillable open-system vape in October 2026, according to information published on its official website and direct retail store.
The product uses Tri-Core Mesh technology to integrate three different resistance configurations into a single refillable pod. Users can switch between operating modes through the device's controls without replacing pods designed for different resistance levels.
The standard VAST features a 10mL refillable pod, a 1,600mAh battery and a maximum output of 30W. A separate TPD-labelled version combines a 2mL pod with an 8mL refill container. VAPORESSO lists an official MSRP of $25.90, while its direct store displays a price of $35.90.
Three Resistances in One Pod Support Different E-Liquid Types and Output Modes
VAST incorporates VAPORESSO's Tri-Core Mesh technology, which integrates 0.8Ω, 0.6Ω and 0.4Ω resistance configurations within a single refillable cartridge.
The three configurations correspond to ECO, NOR and PWR operating modes, each with different output and e-liquid characteristics.
According to VAPORESSO's official product information:
| Mode | Resistance | Manufacturer-specified characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| ECO | 0.8Ω | Positioned for nicotine salt e-liquids, emphasizing a smoother draw |
| NOR | 0.6Ω | Designed to balance sweetness, aroma and output |
| PWR | 0.4Ω | Specified for freebase nicotine e-liquids with VG content below 70%, emphasizing greater vapor production |
Users can switch between the three modes through the device's controls. Different numbers of white indicator lights identify the selected mode, and adjustable airflow allows users to modify draw resistance.
VAPORESSO positions VAST primarily for mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping.
Unlike designs that require separate pods for different resistance levels, VAST consolidates the three configurations into one consumable.
The company has not disclosed detailed information about the electrical connections between the three resistance configurations or the underlying switching mechanism.
10mL Capacity and CoreGuard Coating; Manufacturer Claims Coil Lifespan of Up to 150,000 Puffs
Beyond its three-resistance structure, VAST features a 10mL refillable pod, rapid-priming design, CoreGuard coating and SSS 3.0 leak-resistance technology.
VAPORESSO claims that the device can begin operating approximately one second after filling, reducing the waiting time typically associated with priming refillable coils.
For coil durability, VAST uses CoreGuard technology. According to the manufacturer, a nanoscale coating protects the heating wire against e-liquid corrosion, improving durability and operating stability.
VAPORESSO claims that CoreGuard delivers approximately 32 times lower metal leaching and three times longer coil lifespan compared with the conditions used in its tests. However, the public product page does not fully specify the comparison baseline or testing methodology. The results have not been independently verified.
The manufacturer also claims that each VAST pod supports up to six refills, while the Tri-Core Mesh coil has achieved a tested lifespan of up to 150,000 puffs under manufacturer-specified conditions.
The 150,000-puff figure refers to the claimed tested lifespan of the coil, not the number of puffs available from a single fill.
For leak resistance, VAST incorporates SSS 3.0 technology. VAPORESSO reports testing involving 72 hours of exposure to high-temperature conditions and 15 hours of simulated aircraft cabin pressure changes.
These performance and durability figures are manufacturer-reported. Actual results may vary depending on e-liquid formulation, usage patterns and environmental conditions.
Standard 10mL and TPD Configurations; UK Device Notification Published
VAPORESSO lists two configurations for the VAST platform: a standard version and a TPD-labelled version.
The standard version includes a 10mL refillable pod, while the TPD version combines a 2mL pod with a separate 8mL refill container.
According to the official packing lists, both versions include the device and a VAST pod. The TPD configuration additionally includes a refill container.
In the UK, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) electronic cigarette notification database lists a VAPORESSO VAST device notification submitted by SHENZHEN SMOORE TECHNOLOGY LIMITED and published on October 12, 2026.
The entry, numbered 01110-26-20020, identifies the product as a refillable electronic cigarette device only and covers nine finishes, including Space Black, Space Gray, Cloudveil Blue and Cherry Red.
The published record concerns the device notification. It does not establish regulatory approval for the complete kit, refillable pods or refill containers, nor does it confirm the product's first retail-sale date in the UK.
Official MSRP of $25.90; Direct Store Lists $35.90
VAPORESSO's official product page lists an MSRP of $25.90 for VAST, while the brand's direct retail store displays a price of $35.90.
The two prices appear on different official pages. Available information does not explain the difference or establish final retail pricing and distribution arrangements across markets.
