Best Vape Juice for Vaporesso: What E-Liquid Works in the XROS Range

The best vape juice for a Vaporesso XROS is a 50/50 nic salt or bar salt in either 10mg or 20mg strength. That's the short version, and it covers about 90% of what you need to know. Stick with this and your XROS pods will last longer, taste better, and give you fewer problems.

The XROS range covers the XROS 5, XROS 4, XROS Mini, and XROS Pro. All of them use similar pod types and work best with the same style of e-liquid. The recommendations in this guide apply across the full Vaporesso XROS lineup.

We've tested dozens of nic salt e-liquids and bar salts in the XROS 5 and XROS 4 over the past few months. These are the ones that work best, split by flavour type and budget.

What VG/PG Ratio Works in a Vaporesso XROS?

Your Vaporesso XROS is built for thinner e-liquids. A 50/50 VG/PG ratio is the sweet spot for every model in the range.

Thicker high-VG juices (70/30 or above) don't wick properly in XROS pods. You'll get dry hits, burnt coils, and shorter pod life. Save those thicker liquids for sub-ohm tanks where they belong.

50/50 vape juice and standard nic salts are both 50/50 by default. If you're buying 10ml nic salts, you don't need to check the ratio since they're almost always 50/50.

For shortfills, make sure the label says 50/50. Not all shortfills are the same ratio, so check before you buy.

Best Nic Salts for Vaporesso XROS

Nic salts are the go-to for most XROS users. They give you a smoother throat hit at higher strengths and work well with the lower wattage output of the XROS pods.

Here are the nic salt brands that perform best in XROS pods.

Pablo's Cake Shop is one of our top sellers for XROS users. The flavour profiles are layered and come through clearly with COREX 3.0 pods. At £1.99 per 10ml bottle in both 10mg and 20mg, they're hard to beat on value.

• Birthday Cake — fluffy sponge with vanilla icing
• Biscoff Custard — caramelised biscuit with smooth custard
• Vanilla Custard — classic creamy profile
• Chocolate Concrete and Custard — nostalgic school dinner flavour

Elux Legend Nic Salts are the obvious pick if you're moving over from Elux disposables. Over 50 flavours, all matching the original disposable profiles. The menthol and ice flavours come through cleanly in the XROS without any harshness.

ElfLIQ Nic Salts are another strong option for ex-disposable users. If you liked Elf Bar flavours, these are the same profiles in 10ml nic salt form. They pair well with the 0.8 ohm XROS pods.

Bombo E-Liquid stands out for more complex flavour profiles. Their Caramel Tobacco balances sweet and earthy notes without either one taking over. Worth trying if you're after something a bit different from standard fruit and menthol.

Gold Bar Nic Salts are popular with vapers coming from the Gold Bar disposable range. Sweet, punchy flavours that translate well to refillable pods.

Best Bar Salts for Vaporesso XROS

Bar salts are nic salts specifically made to match disposable vape flavours. If you've just switched from disposables to a Vaporesso XROS, these will give you the closest match to what you're used to.

The bar salt market has grown rapidly since the UK disposable ban in June 2025. Most major disposable brands now sell their flavours in 10ml nic salt form, and nearly all of them work well in the XROS range.

Good starting points include Lost Mary Nic Salts for fruity and icy profiles, SKE Crystal Nic Salts for sharp, clean flavours, and Hayati vape liquid for bold, sweet profiles.

Best 50/50 Shortfills for Vaporesso XROS

If you vape at lower nicotine strengths (3mg or 6mg), 50/50 shortfills give you more liquid for less money. A 100ml shortfill with two nic shots works out far cheaper per ml than buying 10ml bottles.

The key is making sure you pick a 50/50 shortfill, not a high-VG one. Standard shortfills are usually 70/30 or 80/20 and won't work well in an XROS.

Doozy 50/50 Shortfills are made specifically for pod kits. The flavour is concentrated to account for the lower wattage output of pod vapes. The Caramel Coffee is a standout.

Supergood does a solid range of fruit 50/50 shortfills. The Mango, Papaya and Passion Fruit is a popular pick with XROS users, and the cooling levels are well balanced.

Does Vaporesso Make E-Liquid?

Yes. Vaporesso launched their own e-liquid brand called Deliciu. However, we don't stock the Deliciu range at Ecigone.

What we do stock is every major nic salt and bar salt brand on the UK market. You're not limited to one brand's flavours with a Vaporesso XROS. Any 50/50 nic salt or bar salt from any manufacturer will work in your XROS pods.

That's one of the main benefits of a refillable vape. You pick the flavours you like from whichever brand makes them.

Which XROS Pod Works Best for Flavour?

The 0.8 ohm COREX 3.0 pod is the best all-rounder for flavour with nic salts. It's a slightly looser draw than the 1.2 ohm pod and pulls out more flavour detail from layered e-liquids.

The 1.2 ohm pod gives a tighter, more cigarette-like draw. It's a good match for simple tobacco and menthol flavours, and it uses less e-liquid per puff.

Both pods work with every e-liquid mentioned in this guide. The difference is in the draw style and how much flavour comes through, not in what liquids you can use.

Tips for Getting the Best Flavour from Your XROS

A few small things make a noticeable difference to how your e-liquid tastes in an XROS.

• Prime your pods properly. Fill the pod, leave it to soak for five to ten minutes before your first puff. This stops dry hits and gives the wick time to absorb the liquid fully.
• Don't chain vape a fresh pod. Take a few gentle draws first, then build up. This helps the coil bed in without burning the cotton.
• Clean the contacts. Wipe the bottom of your pod and the contacts inside the vape with a dry tissue every few days. Dirty contacts affect the power and can dull your flavour.
• Swap flavours between pods. If you switch from a strong menthol to a dessert flavour in the same pod, you'll taste both for a while. Keep a separate pod for different flavour types if you can.
