If you’re thinking about making the change from disposable vapes to a refillable kit there are two names you’re definitely no stranger to, the debate of XROS vs XLIM has been rampant for a long time. They’re examples of two fantastic contenders in the MTL vaping market! Although all the tech jargon and vaping terms that are often thrown around are most definitely confusing for new vapers.
What we aim to do in this article is, as well as give you all the technical pros and cons of each option, we’ll explain what the specs mean for you as the end user!
For the case in point, the two kits that we’ll be using for the comparison of XROS vs XLIM, are the most up to date of each of the brands that we stock in store. The Vaporesso XROS 4 vs the OXVA XLIM SE 2!
The opinions in this article are those of us here at ELQD ECIGS, and do not necessarily represent the opinions of others.
XROS vs XLIM, Kit Number 1: The Vaporesso XROS 4
The Vaporesso XROS 4 is Vaporesso’s latest upgrade to their outstanding XROS family of devices building on their fantastic reputation by adding a number of additional features to improve your experience as the end user, trying to get the edge in the case of XROS vs XLIM!
Specs and Features:
- 1000mAh Internal Battery
- Compatible with entire range of XROS Mesh Pods, including those with COREX 2.0 technology
- Fully Adjustable Airflow
- AXON Chipset inside for enhanced flavour and vapour production
- Fully adjustable Airflow
- RGB Battery Indicator
- USB Type-C 2A charging
- 3 Stage Power Adjustment System
The Vaporesso XROS 4’s outstanding AXON chip is a testament to the years of vaping experience behind the Vaporesso Brand. Originally used in the likes of their market leading DTL kits such as the Vaporesso GEN S, what this allows for is the utilisation of Pulse Mode in each Vaporesso Device fitted with one of these chips!
Pulse mode is a special mode unique to Vaporesso kits which pulses the wattage of the device in 0.2 second intervals. Allowing for that outstanding first draw flavour the whole way through your vape!
The other piece of technical jargon we used there was COREX 2.0. This is Vaporesso’s latest innovation in the world of mesh coil technology! This takes the fantastic mesh technology from the first iteration of COREX, and further reinvents it to increase flavour and vapour production by at least 30%. They’ve also upgraded the cotton that they use in the coil to increase just how long your coil lasts.
How to use the Vaporesso XROS 4?
- Remove the device from it’s box & remove all the protective plastic film from the device, including the sticker on the bottom of the pod
- Remove the cap from the pod by snapping it off, and fill the device with your favourite E-Liquid
- Allow the pod to soak for at least 15 minutes prior to using the device.
- After 15 minutes has passed, click the power button 5 times to turn the device on.

XROS vs XLIM, Kit Number 2: The OXVA XLIM SE 2

Specs and Features:
- 1000mAh Internal Battery
- Compatible with the entire range of OXVA XLIM pods
- Fully Adjustable Airflow

There’s not as many fancy tech terms in those lists of specs so we’ll just highlight a few of our favourite features! The OXVA XLIM SE 2’s voice alert system is a unique workaround to the conventional need for a screen on smaller pod devices such as this by using a small speaker in order to let you know exactly how much battery you have left as well as what wattage you have the device set at!
When talking about vibrancy in the case of XROS vs XLIM, the RGB Battery indicator adds a splash of colour to the sleek, metallic design of the XLIM SE 2 allowing you to know exactly how much you have left without always needing to use the innovative audio alert system.
How to use the OXVA XLIM SE 2?

As you can see there’s not a major winner between the two in terms of specifications when comparing them for the debate of XROS vs XLIM, they’ve both got some serious power packed into what are tiny little kits, so we’ll highlight each of their differences and explain them quickly in the following section.
The first difference that you’d notice is the fact that the Vaporesso XROS 4 has a larger range of different resistance pods available, this means that it may suit a greater range of preferences than the OXVA XLIM SE 2 with how differently each of the pods perform.
When it comes to the case of XROS vs XLIM another important feature is the charging speed of each of the devices, and this one is another win for the Vaporesso XROS 4. With its lightning fast 2A Type-C charging you can get from 0 to 100% battery in as short as 25 minutes! Of course the OXVA XLIM SE 2 is not far behind that at around 40 minutes to a full charge, but when life is as busy as we know it can be for everyone, why waste that extra 15 minutes?
A category where the OXVA XLIM SE 2 takes the win in this matchup of XROS vs XLIM is its power adjustment range, with a 5 step power adjustment option compared to the XROS 4’s 3 step power adjustment option, this works well to counteract the XROS 4’s larger range of available pods by adding that much needed customisation option for your vaping style!
