Vaporesso XROS 5 Review

If you’re in the market for a compact, no-fuss pod system that still manages to feel premium in both performance and design, the Vaporesso XROS 5 may well be worth your attention.

This latest addition to the long-standing XROS line builds upon the dependable framework of its predecessors while introducing a few subtle refinements.

XROS 5 Specifications:

  • Battery Capacity: 1000mAh
  • Charging: USB-C, 1A
  • Pod Capacity: 2ml (TPD compliant)
  • Compatible Pods: XROS Mesh Pods
  • Draw Activation and Button Activation
  • Adjustable Airflow

Out of the box, the XROS 5 keeps things streamlined: the clean chassis, matte finish, and precise weight balance give it a distinctly polished feel, elevating it above many other pod vapes in its class. Designed primarily with MTL users in mind, the XROS 5 delivers a focused and satisfying inhale, thanks to Vaporesso’s Corex heating technology.

Flavour clarity is excellent and remains stable throughout pod use, with no noticeable drop-off until the pod needs replacing.

While it’s not a cloud-chasing device by any means, the vapour production is surprisingly generous for such a compact unit.

A major appeal of the XROS 5 is its consistent simplicity…there are no screens, no wattage adjustments—just an intuitive button and auto-draw functionality.

This device is about as user-friendly as it gets, with haptic feedback features adding a surprisingly modern touch to the otherwise minimalist operation.

Battery performance is solid thanks to the 1000mAh internal cell, which can comfortably see most users through the day.

The inclusion of USB-C charging ensures quick top-ups when needed, although the real-time battery indicator offers an extra level of convenience by showing remaining power with clarity.

As with others in the XROS family, the refillable pods hold 2ml of e-liquid and utilise top-fill designs, making maintenance and topping up straightforward.

Compatible with the full XROS pod range, users can fine-tune their experience with a variety of resistances—though the 0.8ohm option included strikes a great balance between flavour and throat hit.

Leak resistance remains high, and the build quality of both the pods and the main device reinforces the impression that this is a kit built to last.

Overall, the Vaporesso XROS 5 doesn’t reinvent the wheel—but it doesn’t need to. It’s a dependable, well-executed pod vape that prioritises flavour, ease of use, and pocket-friendly performance. If you’re seeking a stylish and sensible everyday vape, this one’s worth a look.
