Vaporesso XROS 5 Pod Vape Kit

The Vaporesso XROS 5 Pod Vape Kit is the newest addition to one of the most trusted refillable pod ranges in the UK, and it's easy to see why the XROS series keeps topping our best-seller lists. Vaporesso has taken everything that made the XROS 4 popular and refined it further: a larger 1500mAh battery for genuine all-day use, a crisp 0.88-inch colour screen, and its newest COREX 3.0 mesh coil technology, which is engineered to deliver noticeably richer, cleaner flavour than the coils found in earlier XROS devices.

What makes this kit stand out at Pure E-Liquids is how adaptable it is. The XROS 5 isn't locked to a single vaping style - the sliding airflow control and three selectable power modes (ECO, Normal and Power) let you shift between a tight, cigarette-like mouth-to-lung pull and a slightly looser restricted direct-to-lung draw, all from the same device. Combined with compatibility across the entire XROS pod range, from 0.4Ω up to 1.2Ω, it's a kit that genuinely grows with your vaping habits rather than boxing you into one setup.

The kit ships with two pods pre-fitted with COREX 3.0 mesh coils - a 0.6Ω and a 0.8Ω - both benefitting from Vaporesso's SSS Leak-Resistant Technology, which keeps the top-fill design properly sealed during everyday use and transport. Charging is via USB-C at up to 3A, so you're rarely stuck waiting around for battery life.

Whether you're stepping up from a disposable now that single-use vapes are off the market, replacing a tired older pod kit, or simply want a dependable device that consistently delivers on flavour, the XROS 5 is one of the most complete refillable kits we stock.

COMPATIBILITY GUIDE

The XROS 5 shares its pod connector with the rest of the Vaporesso XROS family, so it accepts the complete XROS mesh pod range: 0.4Ω, 0.6Ω, 0.8Ω, 1.0Ω and 1.2Ω. The two pods included in the kit use the newer COREX 3.0 coil structure for sharper, longer-lasting flavour; older COREX 2.0 XROS pods remain fully compatible too, just with a slightly less refined vapour.

• 0.4Ω pod - the loosest available draw, best for a warmer RDL vape with high-VG e-liquid
• 0.6Ω pod (included) - a versatile MTL/RDL hybrid, well matched to 50/50 e-liquid or nic salts
• 0.8Ω pod (included) - a tighter MTL draw, ideal with nic salts for a cigarette-like throat hit
• 1.0Ω and 1.2Ω pods - the tightest draw in the range, best suited to ex-smokers wanting maximum restriction and throat hit

RECOMMENDED E-LIQUIDS

The XROS 5's 2ml pods are built around 50PG/50VG e-liquid and nicotine salts - this ratio suits the mesh coils far better than thicker, high-VG shortfill juice. Depending on the pod resistance fitted, we'd suggest:

• VSAVI Nic Salts (20mg, 10ml) - a smooth, fast-hitting nic salt range, best suited to the 0.8Ω, 1.0Ω or 1.2Ω pods. Shop VSAVI Nic Salts
• Elfliq by Elf Bar - familiar, disposable-inspired flavours in a refillable nic salt format, ideal for anyone switching over from prefilled disposables. Shop Elfliq Blueberry
• Elux Legend Nic Salts - an extensive flavour library at 50VG/50PG, well matched to everyday MTL vaping on the 0.6Ω or 0.8Ω pod. Shop Elux Legend Lemon and Lime
• Hayati Pro Max Nic Salts - bold, disposable-style flavour profiles for vapers who want a stronger taste. Shop Hayati Pro Max Nic Salts

As a rough guide: 1–5 cigarettes a day, try 5mg nic salt or 3mg 50/50; 6–14 a day, try 10mg nic salt or 6mg 50/50; 15+ a day, try 20mg nic salt or 12mg 50/50.

HOW TO USE THE VAPORESSO XROS 5

1. Pull the pod out of the device and lift the rubber fill bung on the top of the pod.
2. Fill with your chosen e-liquid up to the maximum fill line, then reseal the bung.
3. Let the pod stand for 5–10 minutes before first use to allow the coil to fully saturate with e-liquid.
4. Push the pod back into the device firmly until it clicks into place.
5. Tap the fire button five times in quick succession to switch the device on.
6. Cycle between ECO, Normal and Power modes as needed, and adjust the airflow slider to your preferred draw.
7. Vape as normal - button-fire or draw-activate, according to your chosen setting.

FAQS

Is the Vaporesso XROS 5 beginner-friendly? Yes. The refill process is simple and the auto-draw setting lets you use it just like a disposable vape if you'd rather not press a button.

How long does the 1500mAh battery last? Most vapers get a full day of typical use per charge, depending on wattage and vaping frequency. A full charge from flat takes around 30–35 minutes via USB-C.

Which coils fit the Vaporesso XROS 5? The full XROS Series pod range fits this device, from 0.4Ω to 1.2Ω, with 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω COREX 3.0 pods supplied in the box.

How often should I replace the pod? This depends on use, but most vapers find flavour starts to fade after several days, which is a sign the mesh coil needs replacing.

Can I use nic salts with this kit? Yes, nic salts perform very well in the XROS 5, particularly with the 0.8Ω, 1.0Ω or 1.2Ω pods for a tighter, cigarette-like draw.

Can I use shortfill e-liquid? You can, though shortfills are usually high-VG and not the intended fit for this device. For best flavour and coil longevity, we'd recommend 50PG/50VG e-liquid or nic salts.

Is the XROS 5 TPD compliant? Yes, the UK kit is supplied with 2ml pods to comply with UK TPD regulations on refillable tank capacity.

How do I know the pod needs changing? A burnt or muted taste, reduced vapour, or a crackling sound are all signs the coil has worn out and the pod needs replacing.

Does the XROS 5 leak? Vaporesso's SSS Leak-Resistant Technology significantly reduces the risk, but we'd still recommend not overfilling the pod and keeping the fill bung sealed tightly between refills.

Can I control the wattage myself? Yes, the device offers 5–30W of adjustable output split across three power modes for fine-tuning flavour and battery use.

Is this kit suitable for cloud chasing or DTL vaping? Not really - it's designed for MTL and RDL vaping rather than sub-ohm DTL clouds. For DTL performance, a higher-power device such as the Vaporesso Luxe XR Max would be a better fit.

How does the XROS 5 compare to the XROS 4? The XROS 5 steps up to a larger 1500mAh battery, a sharper HD colour screen, and the newer COREX 3.0 coil tech for improved flavour over the outgoing XROS 4.

Does the kit include e-liquid? No, this is an empty starter kit - e-liquid needs to be purchased separately, see our recommended options above.

Should I vape while the device is charging? We'd advise against it, as with most vape devices, to protect the battery and ensure safe charging.

Is there a warranty with this kit? Yes, a warranty card is included in the box - keep hold of your proof of purchase in case you need to make a claim.
