Vaporesso XROS 5 30W Pod System Review
The Vaporesso XROS 5 30W Pod System is a refillable pod vape with a built-in 1500mAh battery and a 0.88-inch screen. It’s made for mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping, and its airflow slider opens up to a restricted direct-to-lung (RDL) draw. It takes every XROS pod. See more from Vaporesso or compare other pod systems.
XROS 5 Highlights
Screen, Draw or Button
The XROS 5 has a 0.88-inch screen with six themes, and it shows the battery level. You can fire it by drawing on the pod or by pressing the button.
3A Fast Charging
It charges over USB-C at up to 3A. Vaporesso rates it at 20 minutes to reach 80%.

How to Set Up the XROS 5
- Charge it: plug in the USB-C cable before you vape the first time.
- Fill the pod: open the fill port on top, fill the pod and close it. Let a new pod soak for about 5 minutes.
- Set the airflow: move the slider for a tighter MTL draw or a looser RDL draw.
- Set the power: click the button 3 times to change the power mode, or the wattage with a 0.4Ω pod.
Who the XROS 5 Is For
The Vaporesso XROS 5 kit suits MTL vapers who want a screen, fast charging and a slim body. The 0.8Ω pod gives an MTL draw, and the 0.6Ω pod gives a looser, restricted DTL draw. Want a bigger battery? The XROS 6 has 1800mAh. Prefer a simpler kit with no screen? See the XROS 5 Mini.
Good to know: the 0.5W power steps need a 0.4Ω pod, which isn’t in the box. With other pods, you pick from three power modes.
