The Vaporesso XROS 3 Mini Pod Kit is not just another vape kit — it’s a thoughtfully crafted device that caters to the needs of every vaper.
Here’s what sets it apart:
When comparing the XROS 3 vs XROS 3 Mini, the Mini stands out for its compact design and portability, making it perfect for on-the-go vapers.
Compact and Portable Design
The XROS 3 Mini is designed for on-the-go vapers. Its petite size ensures it fits comfortably in your pocket or bag. The minimalist design is sleek & functional - making it the ultimate partner for any vaper.
Powerful Performance
At the heart of the XROS 3 Mini is an integrated 1000mAh battery capable of delivering up to 16W of consistent power. This means you can enjoy more than a full day of seriously frequent vaping on a single charge! This makes it perfect for those who are always on the move. Plus, the device features draw-to-vape activation, eliminating the need for buttons and keeping the experience seamless.
With a USB Type-C charger, the Vaporesso XROS 3 Mini charging time is impressively quick with minimal downtime. Additionally, the LED indicators like the Vaporesso blue light help you monitor battery levels or device status effortlessly.
Vaporesso Blue Light & Charging Light Indicators + Intelligent Chipset Features
The built-in intelligent chipset takes your vaping experience to the next level. By optimising performance and flavour, this technology ensures every puff is rich, smooth, and satisfying. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned vaper, the XROS 3 Mini’s smart system means you’ll get a super consistent vape every time. And if you need an extra bit of tech - the Vaporesso charging light provides a clear signal when the device is ready to go, and it will flash red if there’s a connection error.
Simple, Leak-Resistant Technology
No one likes dealing with messy e-liquid spills. That’s why Vaporesso’s SSS (triple S) leak-resistant technology keeps your e-liquid securely contained for hassle-free refills. This also makes it an excellent option for beginners who want to avoid the learning curve of more complex vape setups.
Versatile Pod Compatibility
One of the first questions users ask about this device is, "How long does a Vaporesso pod last?"
With proper use, these pods are durable and provide consistent flavour over multiple refills. The XROS 3 Mini is compatible with 50/50 VG/PG nic salts and freebase e-liquids as well as liquids that have a higher PG (because vegetable glycerin (VG) is thicker than propylene glycol).
Included with every XROS 3 Mini Pod Kit is a 0.6Ω XROS series pod. These pods leverage Vaporesso's Corex Heating Technology which helps to deliver a richer and flavourful vape. The built-in RDTL coil eliminates the need for replacing Vaporesso Mini coils frequently, simplifying maintenance. You’ll also have the choice of a 1.0Ω pod (purchased separately for a tighter, mouth-to-lung vape.
The easy-to-refill design ensures you can quickly swap out pods and keep vaping much downtime.
Vaping Experience & Value for Money
