The OXVA Xlim Pods
Considering the range of choices available, selecting the correct pod for your vape might feel challenging, especially if you’re not sure which vaping style you should use. You may be wondering if the OXVA Xlim series requires 0.6Ω or 0.8Ω pods. These two resistances fit distinct vaping styles, MTL and RDL, so it is important to know their properties. In this blog I’ll discuss the variations, advantages, and factors to be taken into account while choosing between the 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω OXVA pods to guarantee you make a wise choice that’s best suited for you.
Key Takeaways
- While the 0.6Ω pods are suited for RDL (restricted direct lung) vaping, the 0.8Ω pods are ideal for MTL (mouth to lung) vaping.
- The 0.6Ω pods run best between 26–30W; the 0.8Ω pods run best between 12–16W.
- Variations in Pod Design: The new EZ pods give consumers additional choices, as their top-fill design is simple and their capacity is higher.
Understanding OXVA Pods
OXVA Xlim V2 & V3 Pods
The V2 and V3 variants of the OXVA Xlim pod series provide different options for vaping, each satisfying various vaping demands. Here is a breakdown of the available resistances:
Xlim V2 Pods
0.6Ω
- Vaping Style: Perfect for RDL vaping.
- Wattage: Between 26-30W.
0.8Ω:
- Vaping Style: Perfect for MTL vaping.
- Wattage: Between 12-16W.
1.2Ω:
- Vaping Style: Perfect for a tighter MTL vape.
- Wattage: Between 10-25W
Xlim V3 Pods
0.4Ω:
- Vaping Style: Ideal for RDL vaping.
- Wattage: Between 26-30W.
0.6Ω:
- Vaping Style: Perfect for RDL, the vaping style matches that of the V2.
- Wattage: Between 26-30W.
0.8Ω:
- Vaping Style: Perfect for MTL vaping
- Wattage: Between 12-16W.
1.2Ω:
- Vaping Style: A more exact MTL vape.
- Wattage: 10-25W.
EZ Pods
The new EZ pods have a few improvements:
- Resistance options range from 0.4Ω, to 1.2Ω.
- XL Capacity: 3ml, more than the pods V2 and V3, which are 2ml.
- Design: Snap-off mouthpiece with simple refills via a top-fill port.
0.6Ω and 0.8Ω Pod Differences
Selecting the Correct Pod for Your Vaping Style
Elements to Take Into Account
Think over the following while choosing between the 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω OXVA Xlim pods:
- Vaping Style: Would you rather have a more open draw (RDL) or a tighter draw (MTL)? What you choose will be influenced by your vaping technique.
- E-Liquid Type: If you are using nic salts, the 0.8Ω pod might offer a better experience. The 0.6Ω pod can improve flavour and vapour output for higher VG shortfills.
- Compliance of Devices: Make sure your vape kit can run the power needed for the pod you decide upon.
- Track E-Liquid Use: The 0.6Ω pod might use up more e-liquid; therefore, monitor your consumption.
If you're not sure which pod fits your vaping style, try both to find out. Make sure your pod kit can run on the right power if you use the 0.6Ω pod for optimal performance. Most OXVA Xlim kits come with two pods of different resistances, allowing you to try both immediately.
Typical Questions
Are both pods compatible with all OXVA Xlim devices?
Yes, the 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω OXVA Xlim pods fit any OXVA Xlim device except the NeXlim and the Xlim C. Performance, however, may vary based on the device's settings.
Does my e-liquid have to be changed for different pods?
Not quite. Although you may use the same e-liquid with both pods, the experience will vary; therefore, you might choose to change your selection depending on the pod you are using.
Can I vape MTL with the 0.6Ω pod?
Although the 0.6Ω pod is meant for RDL vaping, you might still want to use it for MTL. It might not, however, offer the same experience as the 0.8Ω pod.
OXVA Pods' Future: Trends in Vaping Technology
The changing vaping market promises developments that could affect pod design and functionality:
- Smart Technology: Future smart elements included in OXVA devices might expand upon the already advanced technology used in vape kits and pods.
- Sustainability: Pod construction might see more environmentally friendly materials applied due to the rising environmental issues surrounding vapes.
To Sum Up
Getting the best out of your vaping session depends heavily on choosing your vaping style and, in turn, your choice between the 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω OXVA Xlim pods. Knowing the differences in resistance, wattage, and vaping style will let you make a more informed decision. Both choices have their advantages, whether you like the rich flavour and vapour of the 0.6Ω pod or the smoothness of the 0.8Ω pod. I’d recommend that you test both to see which one fits your style the most.
