Design and Build Quality
The XROS 4’s all-aluminum alloy unibody design not only adds a touch of elegance to the device but also ensures enhanced durability and a premium hand feel. The robust top-fill design of the pod system, although slightly stiff, provides a secure and leak-free vaping experience. The introduction of 3ml pods is a significant improvement over the 2ml pods found in the XROS 3, offering increased juice capacity and reducing the need for frequent refills, making it an ideal choice for heavy users and extended vaping sessions.
Safety and Customization
The VAPORESSO XROS 4 stands out with its dual activation modes, allowing you to choose between auto-draw and button-activated vaping. To prevent accidental activation, the device features a quick triple-click lock/unlock mechanism for the fire button, ensuring your safety and preventing unintended leaks or burns.
One of the most impressive aspects of the XROS 4 is its integration of COREX 2.0 technology, which utilizes a refined morph mesh grid to optimize temperature matching, resulting in faster heating and explosive flavor. This upgraded technology enhances flavor reproduction by 30%, increases pod lifespan by the same margin, and boosts vapor production by 15%. The device comes equipped with a 0.4Ω pod suitable for both Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) and Restricted Direct Lung (RDL) vaping styles.
Customizing your vaping experience is a breeze with the XROS 4’s adjustable airflow, controlled by a sliding button on the back of the device. This allows you to precisely tailor your draw, ranging from tight MTL to more open RDL inhales. The XROS 4 also offers three distinct output modes—strong, stronger, and strongest—which can be cycled through with three presses of the fire button. The new screen provides visual confirmation of your selected mode, enhancing the overall user interface.
VAPORESSO XROS 4 Pod
The XROS 4 is compatible with the entire XROS pod series, including the latest 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω pods with a top-filling system and 3ml capacity. The COREX 2.0 technology ensures optimal flavor while the SSS Tech prevents leakage. The pods’ coils are built-in, eliminating the need for coil replacement and simplifying maintenance. When the pod’s performance declines or the flavor diminishes, simply replace it with a new one.
The XROS 4 comes with two pods in the box: a 0.4Ω Mesh Pod and a 0.8Ω mesh Pod. The 0.4Ω pod features COREX 2.0, which refines the morph mesh grid size for optimal temperature matching, enabling faster heating and explosive flavor. The upgraded cotton efficiently supplies e-liquid, prevents burnt taste, and extends the pod’s lifespan.
In addition to the included pods, the XROS 4 is compatible with a range of pods in various resistances: 0.4Ω, 0.5Ω, 0.8Ω, 1.0Ω, and 1.2Ω. These pods attach magnetically to the battery, ensuring a secure connection. The clear pods allow for easy e-juice level monitoring without removal from the battery.
Filling the pods is a simple and mess-free process. Remove the black plastic mouthpiece by pushing it towards the back to access the fill port. The fill port is protected by a silicone membrane with an “X” cut, which opens when inserting the bottle tip and self-closes upon removal, preventing leaks.
Battery Life and Charging
The XROS 4 retains the 1000mAh battery capacity of its predecessor, the XROS 3, providing ample power for a full day of vaping, even for frequent users. However, the introduction of 2A rapid charging technology sets the XROS 4 apart, allowing the battery to be fully charged in just 30 minutes, significantly reducing downtime and ensuring you can get back to vaping quickly.
The battery life varies depending on the pod and usage. With the 0.6Ω pod, you can expect to vape around two and a half pods before needing to recharge, while the 1.0Ω pod allows for up to three full pods per charge.
The XROS 4 features a gradient LED circle that serves as the battery life indicator. During vaping, the LED lights up in a gradient, but at the end of your draw, it switches to a solid color to indicate the remaining battery life: green for 70-100%, blue for 30-70%, and red for 0-30%.
The Type-C charging port is located on the bottom of the device, necessitating laying it down during charging. The 2A charging speed ensures a full charge in approximately 30 minutes. The XROS 4 also supports pass-thru charging, allowing you to vape while it charges.
User-Friendly Operation
Using the VAPORESSO XROS 4 is straightforward and intuitive. To install a pod, remove it from the battery section and insert a new one, ensuring to remove the sticker if it’s the first use. Filling the pod is a breeze: detach the mouthpiece to expose the fill hole, squeeze in your e-liquid, and securely replace the mouthpiece. Remember to allow the coil to prime for 5 minutes before use to ensure optimal performance.
Adjusting the airflow is simple, thanks to the control toggle on the back of the device. Tailor the airflow to your preferred vaping style for a customized experience. To turn the device on or off, click the power button five times within two seconds.
The XROS 4 offers the flexibility of both button activation and auto-draw. Simply inhale through the mouthpiece or use the button to activate the device and begin vaping.
Monitoring the battery level is easy with the LED indicator. The color changes based on the remaining battery life: green for 70-100%, blue for 30-70%, and red for 0-30%. When it’s time to recharge, use the included Type-C cable. The LED displays the battery level during charging and turns green when fully charged.
Pros and Cons
Final Thoughts
The VAPORESSO XROS 4 is a worthy successor to the popular XROS series, offering a range of improvements and features that enhance the overall vaping experience. With its durable design, increased pod capacity, advanced COREX 2.0 technology, and customizable settings, the XROS 4 caters to a wide variety of vapers. While the device may not introduce revolutionary changes compared to its predecessor, the refinements and upgrades make it a compelling choice for those seeking a reliable, high-performance pod vape kit.
