If you’re after a pod system that keeps things beautifully simple without compromising on performance, the XROS 5 Mini might be your perfect match.
Slotting in as the more compact sibling of the XROS 5, this device carries Vaporesso’s signature reliability in a pocket-sized form factor that’s as stylish as it is functional.
XROS 5 Mini Specifications:
- Battery Capacity: 1000mAh
- Charging: USB-C
- Pod Compatibility: XROS Series Pods
- Pod Capacity: 2ml (TPD compliant)
- Activation: Auto-draw
- Output: Consistent 11W
- Airflow: Fixed
With its minimalist, button-free design and curved edges, the XROS 5 Mini feels well-balanced and sleek in the hand.
Despite the smaller size, it houses a generous 1000mAh battery – more than enough to comfortably last a day of moderate MTL use, and in some cases even longer depending on how heavy you vape.
Unlike the standard XROS 5, the Mini model opts for a fixed airflow system, designed specifically for mouth-to-lung vaping.
While you won’t find any adjustable sliders here, the draw is still finely tuned and satisfying – a nice tight pull that mimics the experience of a traditional cigarette.
This is ideal for smokers making the switch or for anyone who prefers a classic MTL hit without the bells and whistles.
The XROS 5 Mini uses the same mesh coil pods as its full-sized counterpart, delivering impressive flavour, even with higher nicotine or nic salt e-liquids.
These pods are cross-compatible across the XROS range, making replacements and upgrades easy to source.
Refilling is handled via the top-fill mechanism – just snap off the mouthpiece and refill, no fuss or mess involved.
Charging is smooth and efficient with USB-C, and although there’s no screen or battery percentage indicator, a subtle LED light lets you know when you’re running low.
While the Mini doesn’t include haptic feedback like the XROS 5, the performance and build quality are still spot on – solid, durable and well-finished.
Overall thoughts on the XROS 5
Ultimately, this is a refined, no-nonsense device that offers exceptional flavour and everyday reliability. If you value portability, discretion and a device that just works – the XROS 5 Mini is worth considering.
