Vaporesso XROS Pro Pod Kit Review
The Vaporesso XROS Pro enters the pod mod market with ambitious upgrades to battery life, capacity, and customization compared to the original XROS. Our in-depth review dives into all aspects of this new pod system to determine if it delivers an exemplary vaping experience.
Unboxing the XROS Pro Kit
The XROS Pro arrives in sleek Vaporesso packaging featuring the kit colorways. Inside, the device rests neatly beside an extra 0.4ohm pod, USB-C cable, and user manual.
At first glance, the smooth contours and slim shape make it seem like a basic pod system. But upon firing, an OLED screen magically appears from the tapered front. This hidden integration provides information without marring the clean aesthetics.
The build quality proves solid thanks to the durable zinc-alloy frame, which feels lightweight yet sturdy. Buttons provide a satisfying clickiness and the paintwork resists fingerprints. Clearly built to withstand real-world use.
Choose from eye-catching colors like bold red or emerald green. Branding remains subtle and the overall look exudes understated class. Definitely one of the more sophisticated pod kit designs.

- Battery: 1200mAh
- Power Range: 5-30W
- Pod Capacity: 3mL (2ml for TPD compliant)
- Resistance: 0.4ohm pod (included), 0.6ohm and all Xros pods compatible

Ease of Use
Filling the pod proves mess-free courtesy of the handy top-fill design – just slide off the mouthpiece and inject ejuice into the silicone plug port. Large wicking holes prevent dry or burnt hits.
Pods snap firmly into the mod with a reassuring click. The OLED blends into the chassis when not in use, only illuminating during firing to display battery life, wattage, and puff count.
Besides automatic draw activation, a firing button enables manually firing the device. The button also controls the menu settings. Airflow adjusts through a simple slider on the back offering three different vent holes.
Menu navigation remains intuitive:
- 2 clicks – Toggles on/off battery meter
- 3 clicks – Adjusts wattage
- 4 clicks – Resets puff counter
- 5 clicks – Powers on/off
There is a slide locker on the side which enables or lock the fire button while the auto-draw fire funtion still available, it’s very useful if you don’t want any accidental misfires whilst in your pocket or bag.
With easy top-filling, swapable pods, and adjustable airflow, the XROS Pro proves highly convenient and customizable.
Features and Performance
One major upgrade is the boosted 3mL ejuice capacity, a whole extra 1mL over the original XROS pod. This significantly lengthens the time between refills.
The larger 1200mAh battery also outperforms most pod systems, comfortably providing over a day of use for many vapers. And charging from empty takes only 35 minutes thanks to quick USB-C charging.
The XROS Pro comes with a 0.4ohm kanthal coil but also supports the 0.6ohm and other resistance XROS pods. This enables finding your optimal wattage setting for each coil. The adjustable power ranges from a low 5W for nic salt pods up to 30W for max vapor production.
Speaking of vapor production, the proprietary Vaporesso SSS mesh coils deliver excellent flavor and dense clouds. Every draw proves consistent from start to finish courtesy of the Super Pulse mode, which regulates output as the battery depletes. The vapor feels clean and profiles taste authentic.
XROS’s First 0.4Ω Pod Enhances Flavor
The data is based on testing results from VAPORESSO LAB.
New 0.4Ω pod with COREX inside delivers denser clouds, smoother taste, more pronounced throat hit. And COREX Heating Tech supports accurate flavor and long lifespan of pod.
* The USA version is equipped with 0.6/1.0Ω pods.
For airflow, the three vent holes allow customizing the draw from a loose MTL inhale to a tighter, more cigarette-like pull. The draw always remains smooth without any whistling.
Pros and Cons
Who It’s For
The XROS Pro suits vapers wanting a robust, customizable pod device that can serve as an all-day carry. The ample juice capacity reduces filling frequency and the battery life negates constantly recharging.
It works excellently as either a primary device or companion pod mod thanks to the pocket-friendly design. Airflow and power flexibility allow customization for mouth-to-lung or direct lung vaping.
While beginner vapers may appreciate the simplicity, intermediate users get more benefits from the adjustments available. Overall an versatile system able to suit various vaping needs.
Final Thoughts on the Vaporesso XROS Pro
The Vaporesso XROS Pro justifies its “Pro” designation by upgrading key aspects of the original XROS like battery capacity, juice volume, and customizability. It delivers reliable all-day performance in a compact yet feature-packed package.
Robust construction ensures it withstands real-world use. The hidden screen and airflow options provide customization options rarely seen in pods. Top fill and coil cross-compatibility further improve convenience.
For vapers wanting a customizable pod mod able to serve as an everyday carry, the XROS Pro checks all the boxes. While the original XROS remains a solid choice, the Pro enhances the experience through thoughtful optimizations.
