The XROS 5 Mini has a 1500mAh internal battery and comes with a single 0.8ohm pod. It has airflow adjustment and a LED indicator to show the battery level. There are no buttons on the mini as it’s auto draw only, and the maximum output is 30W so it should be able to handle most of the existing (and new Corex 3.0) XROs pods that are out there. The kit comes in 10 different colours.
The XROS 5 also has a 1500mAh internal battery and it also has an airflow adjustment slider on it. This one comes with both 0.8 and 0.6ohm pods. It also has a fire button and screen so it’s clearly the more advanced of the two. The power output is, again, 30W max and the XROS 5 comes in 10 different colours as well.
Both kits come with Vaporesso’s new Corex 3.0 technology in the pods. The marketing blurb claims that this gives you 40% more vapour production, 30% more flavour delicacy, 30% more airflow smoothness, and 30% more performance stability.
Design wise the XROS 5 Mini is your usual squashed pen style vape with branding on the front and back. On one side is the airflow adjuster and on the other is the USB Type C slot so you can charge it standing up. The pods fit in well, with strong enough magnets that they won’t fly out if dropped and there’s enough room to see all the liquid so you can clearly see when it’s time to refill.
The XROS 5 is longer than the mini and has a fire button above the USB C slot. It also has a screen so that you can adjust the themes and power output, as well as lock the button to make it auto draw only
Function wise there’s not a lot there, as it should be with pod kits. The mini is purely plug and play, you just fill it up, wait a bit then vape. The XROS 5 has a bit more to it. You can set six different themes by clicking the fire button twice. There’s black, white, pink, rainbow, space, and watch to choose from, and the rainbow, space, and watch themes have different animations that run when you take a draw. Three clicks let you change the power output from eco to normal to power.
In use, The 0.8ohm pod is lovely for a nice loose MTL, and the airflow adjustment allows for a pretty tight draw as well, not super tight but tight enough to keep most folks happy. You can still get a restricted RDL from the mini with the 0.8ohm pod.
Final Thoughts:
Vaporesso have managed to upgrade the XROS series again. The fact that all older XROS pods fit too is always a bonus. You can use your older ones that you have in stock.
