Top 5 Features of the New Vaporesso XROS 5

By shane margereson

Now that the disposable ban is in full swing, everyone's been asking me what device they should actually switch to. After putting the new Vaporesso XROS 5 through its paces for the past few weeks, I can tell you it's a proper step up from everything else on the market.

This isn't just another pod vape kit with fancy marketing – it's packed with features that genuinely make a difference to your daily vaping. Whether you're coming from disposables or upgrading from an older refillable, these five standout features put the XROS 5 miles ahead of the competition.

Let me break down exactly what makes this device special and why it's become my go-to recommendation for anyone making the switch.

1. COREX 3.0 Technology: A Flavour Revolution

The biggest game-changer in the Vaporesso XROS 5 is definitely the new COREX 3.0 technology in the pods. This isn't just marketing waffle – there's a genuine difference you can taste from the first puff.

The new "Hive Mesh" structure distributes heat way more evenly than previous generations, which means better flavour extraction and virtually no dry hits. I've been testing it with everything from simple fruit flavours to complex dessert blends, and the difference is mental.

  • 40% better aroma reproduction compared to previous COREX versions
  • 30% improvement in flavour, delicacy, and smoothness
  • 30% better performance stability
  • Significantly longer pod lifespan

What really impressed me is how it handles sweet e-liquids. Usually, dessert flavours gunk up coils quickly, and the taste gets muted after a day or two. With COREX 3.0, I'm getting consistent flavour for over a week, even with the sweetest custards and bakery blends.

The improved wicking material also means these pods handle chain vaping much better. No more waiting between puffs to avoid that horrible burnt taste – the Vaporesso XROS 5 keeps up with even heavy usage.

2. Lightning-Fast 3A Charging That Actually Works

One of the biggest complaints about refillable devices used to be the charging time. Nobody wants to wait hours for their device to charge, especially when they're used to disposables that come ready to go.

The XROS 5 completely solves this with proper 3A super-fast charging. We're talking 80% battery in just 20 minutes, and a full charge from completely dead in under 50 minutes. That's faster than most phones charge these days.

  • 3A super-fast charging capability
  • 80% charge in 20 minutes
  • Full charge in approximately 45-50 minutes
  • 1500mAh battery for all-day performance

This has been a game-changer for my daily routine. Quick top-up while having morning coffee, and I'm sorted for the entire day. Even heavy vapers are getting 4-5 days from a single charge, which is proper impressive for a device this compact.

The USB-C charging is another nice touch – no more hunting for special cables. Same cable that charges your phone will charge your vape.

3. 0.88" HD Screen with Personality

Most pod vape kits either have no screen or some tiny LED that tells you basically nothing. The Vaporesso XROS 5's 0.88-inch HD screen is in a different league entirely.

It's not just functional – it's actually enjoyable to use. You get clear, easy-to-read information about battery level, wattage, pod resistance, and even a puff counter if you're into tracking your usage.

  • Clear 0.88" high-definition display
  • Six different customizable themes
  • Battery level , wattage, and pod resistance display
  • Puff counter for usage tracking

But here's the clever bit – there are six different themes you can cycle through. Sounds gimmicky, but it's actually brilliant for personalising your device. Whether you want something clean and minimal or more colourful and fun, there's a theme that'll suit your style.

The screen is bright enough to read in direct sunlight but doesn't drain the battery. It's one of those features you don't think you need until you have it, then you wonder how you lived without it.

4. Smart Power Control That Actually Makes Sense

The power management on the XROS 5 is where Vaporesso's experience really shows . Instead of overwhelming you with endless wattage adjustments, they've created a system that's powerful but intuitive.

For most XROS pods, you get three simple modes: ECO (battery saving), NORMAL (balanced performance), and POWER (maximum flavour and vapour). Three clicks of the button cycles through them, and the device remembers your preference.

  • Three-mode system: ECO, NORMAL, and POWER
  • Smart pod detection and automatic adjustment
  • Precise 0.5W increments with 0.4Ω pods
  • Maximum 30W output capability

But here's where it gets clever – if you pair it with a 0.4Ω XROS pod, you unlock precise wattage control from 15W to 30W in 0.5W increments. Perfect for those who like to fine-tune their experience.

The smart pod detection means the device automatically adjusts to whatever pod you insert. No menu diving or manual resistance setting – just pop in a pod and you're ready to go.

5. Universal XROS Pod Compatibility

This might seem boring, but trust me – pod compatibility is absolutely crucial when choosing a device. The XROS 5 works with every single XROS pod ever made, which gives you incredible flexibility.

Whether you want the new COREX 3.0 pods for maximum flavour or prefer the tighter draw of a 1.2Ω pod, or want to try restricted direct-lung vaping with a 0.4Ω pod – they all work perfectly.

  • Compatible with all XROS pod variants
  • 0.4Ω, 0.6Ω, 0.8Ω, 1.0Ω, and 1.2Ω options available
  • Both 2ml and 3ml capacity versions
  • Future-proof design for upcoming pod releases

This compatibility means you're not locked into one vaping style. Start with the included 0.8Ω for a cigarette-like experience, then try the 0.6Ω for more flavour and vapour. Want something tighter? Grab some 1.2Ω pods. It's like having multiple devices in one.

The fact that all pods use the same top-fill system means no learning new filling techniques when you switch. Pop off the mouthpiece, fill, and you're sorted

The Real-World Difference

After weeks of daily use, these features combine to create something special. The fast charging means I never worry about battery life. The COREX 3.0 pods deliver flavour that makes expensive e-liquids taste even better. The screen and controls make adjusting settings effortless.

Most importantly, it's reliable. No random firing, no leaking issues, no pods dying after two days. It just works, day after day, which is exactly what you want when switching from the simplicity of disposables.

The Verdict: Is It Worth Your Money?

At £23.99, the Vaporesso XROS 5 sits perfectly in the mid-range for pod vape kits, but delivers performance that punches well above its weight. For anyone making the switch from disposables, it offers everything you need without unnecessary complexity.

If you prefer something even more compact, the XROS 5 Mini at £16.99 gives you the same 1500mAh battery and COREX 3.0 pods in a smaller package, just without the screen and precise power control.

With nic salt e-liquid costing as little as £1.99 for a bottle that'll give you around 5 refills, you'll be saving potentially over £1000 a year compared to what disposables used to cost. That's serious money back in your pocket.

The combination of cutting-edge features, rock-solid reliability, and genuine value makes the XROS 5 one of the best pod vape kits available right now.
