Performance/Battery Life

The Vaporesso XROS 3 Mini has a 1000mAh battery, which is quite impressive for a device of this size. The battery can last up to 48 hours between charges, though this will vary depending on vaping habits. For lighter vapers or MTL users, this could easily cover two full days of vaping. Heavy users may need to charge more frequently, but the 1A Type-C fast charging ensures that downtime is minimal, with a full charge achieved in about 50 minutes.

The device also features a battery indicator with three light colours:

• Green: 70%-100%
• Blue: 30%-70%
• Red: 0%-30%

This allows you to monitor your remaining battery life easily and avoid being caught off guard with no charge.

Design and Aesthetics

The XROS 3 Mini is crafted from zinc alloy, giving it a premium, durable feel despite its lightweight frame. Its minimalist, modern design is both stylish and practical, making it easy to carry around in a pocket or bag. The device comes in various colours, ranging from sleek metallics like Black and Space Grey, to more vibrant options like Rose Pink and Lilac Purple.

For users who appreciate attention to detail, the XROS 3 Mini also offers models with precision-carved 3D textures, which reflect light in a visually appealing way and enhance the grip.

Build Quality

The build quality of the XROS 3 Mini is impressive for such a small and budget-friendly device. The zinc alloy body feels sturdy, and the materials used are clearly designed to last. Unlike many flimsy alternatives, this kit feels durable enough for long-term use.

Airflow

The Vaporesso XROS 3 Mini does not come with adjustable airflow, which simplifies the vaping process. This makes it ideal for new users who are transitioning from disposable vapes and prefer a hassle-free experience. The fixed airflow is well-balanced for MTL or RDTL vaping, providing a tight, satisfying draw without the need for customisation.

While some advanced users may miss the ability to fine-tune the airflow, the default setting is well-calibrated for most users, delivering smooth and consistent performance.

Coils/Pods

The XROS 3 Mini is compatible with a range of XROS Pods featuring SSS leak-resistant technology. This innovative system helps prevent leaks and mess, making the device even more user-friendly. The pods use COREX heating technology, which applies a unique morph mesh structure to ensure even heating and richer flavour production. This is complemented by Vaporesso’s signature COREX cotton, which enhances flavour retention and vapour output.

Refilling the pod is easy, thanks to the top-fill design. Just snap off the mouthpiece and add your preferred e-liquid through the red fill port (avoiding the central airflow hole). This simple refill system makes maintenance a breeze.

The XROS pods are available in a variety of coil resistances:

• 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω (RDTL)
• 1.0Ω and 1.2Ω (MTL)

Each pod comes with a built-in coil, so there's no need for messy coil replacements. The flat mouthpiece is designed for comfort, fitting naturally on the lips for an enjoyable vaping experience. The pods are made from transparent food-grade PCTG plastic, allowing you to easily monitor your e-liquid levels. 

Kit Contents:
