The Vaporesso XROS Mini encapsulates the very definition of a good pod system . It ’ s small , has refillable and replaceable pods that work best with high-strength nicotine e-liquids and also features a built-in rechargeable battery . It is compact , discreet , comes in a decent variety of colour combinations and has a textured finish on one side that also features subtle Vaporesso branding . The outside of this device is about as simple as it gets as there is no screen display or operation buttons . The only functional addition is the USB-C plug on the bottom . Despite its rather small stature , the XROS Mini has a substantial weight to it that emphasises a quality feel when holding the device . The shape of this kit is rather boxy but has understated and subtle curves on the edges , making it extremely comfortable to hold . The XROS Mini utilises a straightforward auto draw technique making it as easy as possible to use for new vapers . It makes use of replaceable pods with built in coils , making it easier to fill and maintain , especially for those new to vaping . Filling the pod itself is just so easy . A one-way valve accepts smallnozzled e-liquid bottles and significantly reduces any chance of leaking . The pod is translucent in colour making it easy to see the fill level and avoiding over-filling . The only drawback I found was that taking the cap off the pod was rather tricky , and I had to use a lot of grip to remove it . The pod ( and therefore also the coil ) included in the box offers a decent flavour and an impressive hit . I felt that the inhale on the 1.2 Ohm pod was a somewhat tight mouth-to-lung and therefore found it worked best with 10-20mg e-liquids , as it gives a smooth yet satisfying experience .
Coil longevity is adequate and lasts roughly five-to-seven days before losing flavour . Cloud production is minimal , but for me that is perfect , as I enjoy having a discreet amount of vapour in public . This small kit features an outstanding 1,000mAh battery , whereas many similar-sized pod systems are around the 350-750mAh range . This means that battery life is incredible for such a petite kit . It lasted a full two days before it needed charging and with the USB-C port , it took no time at all to be restored to full power . One of the most attractive features of pod systems is their diverse audience . They are a simple and an inexpensive option for new and veteran vapers alike . The most basic goal of vaping is to quit or cut down on smoking , and the XROS Mini helps achieve that splendidly . It is truly a device for all , and the performance of this little kit makes it easy to see why .
PROS
- Super simple to operate and maintain - The 1,000mAh battery lasts ages - I liked how the pod was see through , allowing me to easily fill it without overfilling
CONS
- The top part of the pod was a little difficult to remove at first - Having both the 1.2 Ohm and the 0.8 Ohm pods included would ’ ve been even better
