Vaporesso XROS 5 and XROS 5 mini - Flavor, Battery & Performance Breakdown

Vaporesso XROS is an increasingly popular vape device among vapers in need of a smooth, dependable and tasty pod system. The introduction of the XROS 5 and XROS 5 Mini marks just the beginning of Vaporesso developing its pod line, with two smaller devices that address a slightly different set of purposes. Here in this review, we will deconstruct the design, performance and major differences between the two such that you can determine which model suits your style the best.

Comparing Craftsmanship and Build Quality

Vaporesso XROS 5

The XROS 5 continues the luxury appearance Vaporesso has established. It has a sleek metallic casing of a matte finish that is easy to hold. The device is not heavy but rather strong, which causes a dense effect of stability. It has a small screen with a button that can be used to fire and adjust the airflow, thus being adaptable to various vaping styles.

Vaporesso XROS 5 Mini

The XROS 5 Mini as the name indicates, is smaller, simpler, and is made to suit those who are interested in total portability. It has no button, no screen, and has a smooth body with a minimalistic appearance. It is also easy to use, draw-on-activated and, therefore, hassle-free. It fits perfectly into a pocket and is so small that one does not even feel its presence.

Flavor and Performance in Perfect Balance

Pods and Compatibility

They both fit XROS pod series of Vaporesso, which means that you can alternate between a wide range of coils (0.6, 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2 ?). This enables you to switch either to mouth-to-lung (MTL) or to restricted direct-to-lung (RDL) of your preference.

Flavor Quality

The XROS 5 has the advantage of being able to set the airflow and button activation to provide maximum control over the amount of vapor produced. There is a clean and consistent flavor, particularly using the 0.6? and 0.8? pods. The XROS 5 Mini does not have airflow adjustment but still has surprisingly rich flavor at a smaller size. It is more adjusted to MTL vaping, and thus it is ideal with nic salts or more potent e-liquids.

Vaporesso XROS 5 Battery Life and Charging

XROS 5: Has a larger battery (around 1500mAh) which can last a day of normal use. It has a fast USB-C charge, which is recharged in some 45 minutes.
XROS 5 Mini: The battery is smaller (around 1000mAh or a little less depending upon the model), but as the power output is very small the lifetime is longer than you might think. However, extensive users can be required to charge up to once in a day.

Accessibility and Ease of Use

XROS 5: Fit for users that prefer control, button fire, adjustable airflow, and the battery status.
XROS 5 Mini: Works best with beginners or minimalists. Simply inhale and it will start working, no settings and no mess.
