If you are moving to a refillable pod kit, you will quickly narrow it down to two ranges: the Vaporesso XROS and the OXVA XLIM. Both are small, simple and made for nic salts. So which should you get?
What they have in common
- Both are compact, mouth-to-lung pod kits that suit beginners.
- Both fire when you inhale, so there are no buttons to learn.
- Both use 2ml refillable pods with the coil built in, the UK legal size.
- Both work best with nic salts.
Where they differ
Pods
This matters most, because pods are what you keep buying. XROS kits use Vaporesso’s Corex pods, which fit across the XROS range. XLIM kits use XLIM pods. The two are not interchangeable, so once you choose a kit you are choosing its pods too. See Replacement Pods.
Range and price
Both brands make a cheap entry model and a more feature-rich one:
- Vaporesso XROS: from the XROS 3 Mini at £12.99 up to the XROS 6 at £20.99, with the XROS 4, 4 Mini, 5 and Pro in between.
- OXVA XLIM: from the XLIM Go and Go Lite at £7.99 up to the XLIM 3 Ultra at £23.99, with the XLIM Pro 2 and Pro 3 in between.
Feel
Both draw smoothly. Many vapers find the XLIM draw slightly tighter, closer to a cigarette, and the XROS slightly more airy. Both let you adjust airflow on the higher models, so either can be set to suit you.
Which should you buy?
- Tightest budget: OXVA XLIM Go Lite or XLIM Go.
- Best all-rounder: Vaporesso XROS 5 or OXVA XLIM Pro 3.
- Most features: Vaporesso XROS 6 or OXVA XLIM 3 Ultra.
If a friend already uses one of them, pick the same range: you can share pods and recommendations. Browse the Vaporesso range, the OXVA range, or every kit in Vape Kits. For help choosing pods, read How to Choose the Right Replacement Pod.
