We-Vibe Tango X Review: Best Bullet Vibrator? (2022)

Share

After some time, we are finally back with a new review. And the main star today is We-Vibe Tango X.

We were eager to try it since we read so many things about the previous version of this toy – Tango and that’s why we wholeheartedly accepted Luxe Vibe Boutique’s inquiry.

The original We-Vibe Tango is often described as “the best bullet vibrator” and as an “all-time legend.” Pretty impressive, right?

Those bold statements just made us want to try and test this long-awaited upgrade even more. I mean, is it really possible to be even better than that? 

We did extensive testing of Tango X, which combined with our experience on Tango, should provide you enough insight into the best bullet vibrator ever and in its upgrade.

If reading long articles is not your thing – here is the verdict:

We-Vibe Tango X box

Let’s start with the first “obstacle” you need to pass before getting to the toy. 

The toy came in a vibrant pink/red box which is in my opinion very elegant and stylish. It’s also well made and strong. 

We-Vibe’s toys have great packaging, are nicely designed and simply said, match the price and value. 

Tango X comes with the “usual” stuff – a satin bag, magnetic charger, a small package of Pjur lube, and two small booklets: quickstart guide and safety instructions.

No matter how many toys we try, I always look through the quickstart guide. Take only a minute and you find out all the important things.

We-Vibe Tango X material and shape

We-Vibe Tango X is made of two different materials. The handle is made of soft silicone while the upper and bigger part of the toy is made from ABS plastic.

Both materials are non-toxic and non-porous and body-safe. 

Let’s just quickly talk about the lubricants. You can use any lubricant with ABS plastic, however, you should not use any oil-based and silicone-based lube in combination with soft silicone as it might damage the silicone.

That means water-based lubricants are your best bet when using this toy (this one is always a good choice).

Now is also a good time to mention cleaning. 

Since Tango X is made from non-porous materials and is also 100% waterproof, cleaning the toy is easy like 1,2,3. Use either a cloth and warm water and soap or a toy cleaner. Completely dry it afterward. Remember to wash it before and after each use. 

Boiling the toy is not recommended as it might damage the ABS plastic and the whole toy in general.

Let’s get back to the shape of Tango X. 

The shape of it, obviously, resembles lipstick. I like that. It kinda blends in better with stuff that might usually be in my purse or Luka’s fanny pack. A real chameleon.

The top has that lipstick look, while the bottom is slightly wider than the top.

The silicone handle is right-sized. Holding it feels very natural and I think they made the right decision to make a handle from a different material. It gives you a better grip and control over the buttons.

The whole Tango X fits in the palm of your hand or in your make-up compartment or bag. 

Using We-Vibe Tango X

Testing new toys is for me the best part of being a sex blogger.

It’s interesting how at beginning of our sex blogging journey, most toys we tried were good and/or great but now, as time progressed, we got better at noticing certain features, interpreting them, and in the end, judging the overall quality of the toy.

It’s needless to say, not every toy is good and/or great now.

Both Leja and I appreciate and take pleasure from strong, rumbly vibes and that’s the main reason why We-Vibe won our hearts over.

For the first time, I started with the lowest speed setting and slowly worked my way up the intensity ladder. And woah, I was in paradise. 

I did not manage to go through all of the 8 intensities… I think I came on the 6th.

On the first setting, vibrations are kinda lighter but still pretty strong and rumbly. Later on, especially after 4th, vibrations got reaaaaally strong and intense. It was a powerful ending indeed that left me wanting one more (at least).

On the second try, I started on the 4th intensity setting and played with different vibration modes (there are 7 different vibration modes). This time I came very quickly. 

I left it on a high setting, above 4th, and spent most of the time on the Pulse setting which delivered periodically, strong ‘’kicks’’ to my clit. OMG. 

For “dessert”, I switched back to normal vibration mode and raised the setting to the last intensity level which resulted in an explosive coming.

It’s “fuck me” deep vibrations. Amazing, I loved the fact that the “lipstick” head enables you to precisely pinpoint the vibrations. 

Then we tried using Tango X together.

Luka played with Tango X on my nipples, which was another great sensation. Here, I did not like stronger intensity settings. Only the lower 2-3 but here different vibration modes played the key difference.

So that was another plus.

During the actual sex, I used it in this position and during a doggie. I came both times pretty quickly. The combination of a cock and this Lil’ devil on my clit was mind-blowing for me.

I did not use it on Luka specifically but he did feel the vibrations which he liked.

What I also liked was how that sleek ABS plastic felt on my labia.

We used the toy right near the phone microphone and turned on the sound meter app:

• Lowest intensity – quiet library – 42.3 dB
• Middle intensity setting – quiet office – 58.2 dB
• Highest setting – conversation – 60 dB

The sound level is also very low. I would not say it is whisper-quiet, maybe only on the lowest setting, however, it’s quiet enough that it won’t be heard through the closed doors. Which is quiet enough in my book.

All in all, as a fan of We-Vibe’s deep and rumbly vibrations, I was more than satisfied. I refer to Tango X as a Lil’ devil. The toy is naughty and it really packs a powerful punch.

I’ll end this part by saying that I highly recommend the toy if you’re a fan of the said vibrations. You won’t be disappointed.

On the other hand, if you don’t like strong and rumbly vibrations, this may not be a toy for you.

Using We-Vibe Tango X with other toys

This is something we found out while doing our usual research online. 

Since the toy is small, it can be inserted into other toys that have a hole for bullet vibes.

For example, we once reviewed a cock ring from Lovehoney and that cock ring comes with a bullet vibe which could be replaced now by this, way more powerful bullet vibrator. 

Some butt plugs have a hole made for bullet vibes.

Also, we know that a strapless strap-on from Tantus and Fun Factory Sharevibe also have a hole in which you could insert Tango X.

Interesting, right?

How to use We-Vibe Tango X

Let’s just quickly go over the controls.

• Turn it on by holding the + button
• Holding +/- buttons gradually increases or decreases the intensity
• You can also tap the +/- buttons to change the intensity level by level
• Scroll through vibration modes by pressing the wave button in the middle
• The travel lock is activated by holding both + and – buttons for 2 seconds. The toy will vibrate twice when it’s on. You unlock the travel lock by doing the same thing. Not only is perfectly sized for traveling, but it also has a travel lock function.
• Turn it off by holding the – button.

Charging is simple and it’s done with the magnetic charger that comes with it. The connection is relatively good (it’s not loose as in some toys). 

And you’ll approximately get 2 hours of play of 1.5 hours of charge.

Compared to Tango and what does it mean for you

There are several notable differences from the “all-time favorite” Tango. The first one (and the most important one?) are the rumblier vibrations.

We liked how Super Smash Cache described it:

Onto the second upgrade – the introduction of silicone – Tango was completely made of ABS plastic. 

They probably guessed the handle needs to have a wider grip and control has to be a bit easier. That’s a positive change.

Size and weight are slightly changed. The new We-Vibe Tango X is approx. 3 grams heavier which is insensibly more. Tango X is also slightly bigger: 9mm longer and 4mm wider.

Other really notable differences are the buttons and vibration modes. The original Tango had only one button underneath, 4 “continuous” vibration modes, and 4 patterns, making that 8 different possibilities.

Tango X, on the other hand, has two buttons that add to better controllability, and 7 new vibration modes that can be used in any of 8 different intensities – making that 56 different possibilities.

Both the buttons and added modes definitely add to the overall value of the toy.

No more cycling through all the settings to reach the first one (we’ve never been fans of that).

And the last but not least important upgrade is the travel lock, which was not introduced in the original Tango.

Since all the upgrades were “logical” and positive, I’ll go forward and say that Tango X can take over a throne from its predecessor.

Grand finale

To wrap this long-ish review up, I’ll write who I think this toy is perfect for.

If you’re a person who likes deep and rumbly vibrations that can be precisely pinpointed, you should consider We-Vibe Tango X.

If you’re a person who likes what bullet vibes have to offer – small size and weight, discreetness, portability, you should consider We-Vibe Tango X.

If you’re a person who likes to combine toys together and own a toy in which Tango X could be inserted, you should consider We-Vibe Tango X.

 

Also, like other We-Vibe toys, Tango X comes with a 1-year warranty.

You can get Tango X from The Sex Shed in cherry red or midnight blue color, for $85. If you decide to go for it, you can use the discount code WELCOME20, which will get you 20% off.

Remember to never insert Tango X in your ass since it could get lost inside (it’s not an anal-safe toy)!
