Overview
This Vaporesso Armour GS review covers the Armour GS 80W vape kit we sell in the UAE. It has a 5 to 80W range, a 5ml top-fill pod, a 0.96-inch TFT screen and two GTX mesh coils in the box, at AED 140. The key point is that it runs on a single 18650 battery that is not included. Below we set out the specifications, who it suits and what to check before you order in Dubai. It is based on the product listing on this site, not on lab testing.

Vaporesso Armour GS review: quick verdict and who it suits
The Armour GS is the external-battery version of the Armour line. It suits adults who already own, or are willing to buy, a suitable 18650 cell and want a flexible kit for both MTL and DTL.
If you would rather have the battery built in, see the Armour G review, which costs AED 10 more. Power users should also read the Drag S Pro review.
Who should buy it
Buy the Armour GS if you want a high-power kit, you already have a quality 18650 and you want to keep the price down.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you want a self-contained kit, because the AED 140 price does not include a battery. Also skip it if you are new to vaping, since loose lithium cells need careful handling.
Specifications and what is in the listing
The listing gives the following for this Vaporesso Armour GS review: a single 18650 rechargeable battery that is not included, output of 5 to 80W, a 5ml top-fill pod, 0.15 ohm and 0.3 ohm GTX mesh coils, USB Type-C charging, a 0.96-inch TFT screen showing puff count, resistance, mode and battery, top airflow described as leak resistant and MTL and DTL vaping styles.
The listing says it is compatible with nicotine salts or freebase liquids. It lists several colours, which change with stock.
Vaporesso Armour GS power, battery and draw
Power runs from 5 to 80W, and battery life depends entirely on the 18650 cell you fit. Buy a quality cell from a reputable seller and never use damaged wraps.
Pods and coils
Two GTX mesh coils come in the box, 0.15 ohm for a looser, higher-power draw and 0.3 ohm for a tighter one. Spare GTX coils are on the store, and each listing says which kit it fits.
Everyday use and upkeep
Store the battery in a case when not in the device and never carry loose cells with keys or coins. The top-fill pod is simple to refill.
Avoid parked cars in Dubai heat and let new coils soak before the first draw. Do not overfill the 5ml pod.
How it compares with similar kits
The table compares the Armour GS with three other high-power kits we list, using figures from the product titles and listings.
| Kit | Power | Battery | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vaporesso Armour GS | 5-80W | External 18650, not included | AED 140 |
| Vaporesso Armour G | 5-80W | 3000mAh built in | AED 150 |
| Voopoo Drag X Pro | 5-100W (specs); 80W (title) | External 18650/21700, sold separately | AED 140 |
| Voopoo Drag S Pro | 5-80W | 3000mAh built in | AED 140 |
The Drag S Pro costs the same as the Armour GS and includes a 3000mAh battery, so once you add a cell the Armour GS is no longer the cheaper kit.
UAE rules, nicotine strength and safe use
Electronic nicotine products sold in the UAE fall under a national standard, which you can read about on the UAE.S 5030:2018 standard (MoIAT). Removable lithium batteries must be handled and stored safely. This is a refillable kit, so the nicotine strength depends on the liquid. Buy only from a licensed seller. Rules can change, so confirm current limits with MOIAT rather than relying on any blog post.
The NHS says vaping is less harmful than smoking but not risk-free, and that it is not for people who do not smoke or for children. We sell only to adults aged 21 and over. Keep devices, pods, coils and liquids away from children and pets.
This post is general product information, not medical or legal advice, and we make no claim that vaping helps anyone quit smoking.
Price, delivery and final verdict
The Armour GS is listed at AED 140, without a battery. Prices and stock change, so check the product page before you order.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| 5-80W with two GTX coils in the box | External battery is not included |
| 5ml top-fill pod and colour screen | Loose cells need careful handling |
| Works with salts or freebase | Total cost rises once you add a cell |
| USB Type-C charging | Same price as the Drag S Pro, which has a battery |
Our verdict: the Vaporesso Armour GS suits users who already have a spare 18650, while most buyers will prefer the built-in battery of the Drag S Pro or Armour G.
