Design and Build Quality

The Uwell Crown X has an excellent quality build, with a sleek metallic frame made of aluminum alloy. There is no button rattle, and the pod connects solidly via strong magnets. The exterior finish has a smooth feel.

While larger than a typical pod vape, the size is necessary to accommodate the powerful 1500mAh battery and 5.3ml pod. I found it comfortable and natural to hold and use. The adjustable airflow slider stays firmly in place.

The 0.96′′ TFT color screen is bright and easy to read. The intuitive firing button makes operation simple. The fill port plug on the side of the pod has a smart design that’s easy to access.

Overall, the Uwell Crown X achieves a perfect balance of performance, capacity, and compact portability.

Ease of Use

Despite its advanced features, the Crown X remains easy and intuitive to operate. Key functions include:

  • Turn on/off: 5 clicks of fire button
  • Lock/unlock firing: 2 clicks
  • Adjust wattage: 3 clicks, then +1W increments
  • Clear puff counter: 4 clicks
  • Activate boost mode: Set wattage to 60W

The large display clearly shows battery life, coil resistance, mode settings, and more. Changing coils takes seconds. Filling the pod is mess-free with the handy side plug.

For vapers seeking a powerful direct lung pod mod that retains simplicity, the Uwell Crown X delivers.

Coils and Pods

The Uwell Crown X uses proprietary Crown X coils and pods for optimal performance. Two mesh coil options are included:

  • 0.3Ω mesh coil (40-60W)
  • 0.6Ω mesh coil (20-25W)

The 0.3Ω coil is pre-installed. I achieved the best flavor at around 45W with this lower resistance option. The 0.6Ω coil provides a slightly cooler, restricted lung hit with great taste at 25W.

Both coils feature Uwell’s Pro-FOCS tech for improved longevity and flavor. So far, my coils are going strong past 3 weeks. The wide, slot-style airflow slots on the pod allow for full direct lung hits.

Refilling the pod is easy through the rubber gasket on the side. The 5.3ml capacity means you’ll go longer between refills.

Vaping Experience

With adjustable power up to 60W and a choice of 2 coil resistances, the Uwell Crown X provides tremendous flexibility to customize your vape.

It delivers satisfying warmth and full, rich flavor. The draw is incredibly smooth. From a loose, direct lung inhale to a tighter restricted lung hit, the Crown X performs admirably.

The 0.3Ω mesh coil churns out dense, flavorful clouds. At 45W, it’s my sweet spot for proportion and density. Those who want massive vapor production can crank it up to 60W.

The 0.6Ω coil provides a cooler, mellower vape that’s gentler on liquid consumption and the 1500mAh battery. I preferred closing the airflow a bit to get a nice restricted DTL draw.

The battery capacity is ample for all-day use for most. Power drops consistently as the charge is used up. Charging to full capacity takes about 1 hour via the Type-C port.
