Vaporesso’s latest addition to their renowned XROS pod system lineup, the Vaporesso XROS Pro, is about to hit UK shores. We’ve got our hands on it for an in-depth review!
What Can We Expect from the Vaporesso XROS Pro?
The Vaporesso XROS Pro is touted as the world’s first super pulse pod system, featuring the AXON Super Pulse mode delivered by the AXON chipset, typically found on larger Vaporesso kits. This technology ensures a stable power output regardless of battery level.
In addition to AXON Super Pulse mode, this pod system features COREX heating technology, delivering authentic flavor from your e-liquids and extending the lifespan of the pods. COREX technology uses a unique cotton alternative with microfibres designed to retain flavor longer. Vaporesso claims each pod should last for around 20ml of e-liquid, translating to 10 refills for the TPD version available in the UK.
A new 0.4ohm pod, easily top-filled with a 2ml capacity for TPD regulated countries (3ml elsewhere), features SSS anti-leaking technology for mess-free filling. The XROS Pro also offers variable wattage, adjustable in 0.5W increments up to a maximum of 30W, and includes three power modes: Power, Normal, and Eco.
Airflow is adjustable via a slider on the device’s rear, providing options from mouth-to-lung (MTL) to restricted direct lung (RDTL) hits, depending on the pod’s resistance. The XROS Pro is compatible with all existing XROS pods.
Design and Build Quality
The Vaporesso XROS Pro is a robust device weighing 86g, making it one of the heavier pod systems available. It features a premium design with rounded edges for comfort. Available in seven colors (Black, Silver, Blue, Red, Green, Orange, and Pink), the device sports a round power button, an invisible screen that illuminates upon pressing the power button, and a lock button toggle for added security.
The pod system includes a clear viewing window to monitor e-liquid levels and a black mouthpiece that easily detaches for refilling.
Quick Start Guide
- Power on/off: Click the power button five times in two seconds.
- Fill the pod: Remove the black mouthpiece, locate the red filling port, and fill up.
- Dual activation: Use the power button or simply inhale on the pod mouthpiece.
- Lock the power button: Toggle the lock switch on the side.
- Adjust wattage: Press the power button three times within two seconds, then press repeatedly to set the desired wattage.
Performance
The XROS Pro impresses with its flavor delivery, outperforming many other pod systems and even some tanks. The adjustable wattage and airflow provide a customizable vaping experience, and the AXON Super Pulse technology ensures consistent performance. However, the 1200mAh battery life may be a concern for heavy users, especially at higher wattages.
