Side-by-Side: Xlim Pro 2 vs XROS 5
Both vapes are top-tier, but they cater to different vibes.
Lets See ?
Battery Life & Charging
XROS 5: 1500mAh battery, 3A USB-C charging, full in ~35 minutes.
Xlim Pro 2: 1300mAh, 2A charging, full in ~40 minutes. Solid for a day but trails slightly.
Winner: XROS 5—more juice and faster charging keep you vaping longer.
Flavour & Pods
XROS 5: Uses XROS pods with COREX 2.0 for vibrant and consistent flavour with nic salts and freebase vape juice. The 0.6Ω pod excels for MTL and handles dessert juices well. Pods last ~1-2 weeks.
Xlim Pro 2: Xlim V3 mesh pods (0.6Ω best) and top-fill EZ pods deliver punchy, crisp flavour, especially with fruity freebase at 20W+. The Flavour stays sharper longer, even with sweet juices. Pods last ~1-2 weeks, matching the XROS 5 but with a slight edge in clarity.
Winner: Xlim Pro 2—its pods deliver bolder, more consistent flavour, especially for fruit lovers.
Controls & Customisation
Xlim Pro 2: Fully adjustable 5-30W, 0.56” OLED screen, and auto-wattage for tinkerers. Precise airflow slider nails MTL and RDL draws.
XROS 5: Three power modes (Eco, Normal, Power), 0.88” colour screen, and Smart Mode for fuss-free vaping. Airflow’s adjustable but less granular.
Winner: Xlim Pro 2—more control and precision for vape geeks who love to tweak.
Build & Feel
Xlim Pro 2: Zinc alloy with faux leather grip that feels premium and compact at 111x25x14.3mm, 66g.
XROS 5: Sleek matte finish with a larger 0.88” screen but bulkier at 119.7x24.4x18.45mm, 86g.
Winner: Xlim Pro 2—luxe materials and pocketable size edge out the XROS’s screen.
Ease of Use
XROS 5: Top-fill pods are dead simple—snap off, fill and go. Smart Mode makes settings a breeze.
Xlim Pro 2: Offers top-fill EZ pods or side-fill V3 pods. Side-fill can be fiddly so some prefer the EZ Pod Option.
Winner: Xlim Pro 2 —offering 2 types of pods, so customers get the choice.
Price
Xlim Pro 2: £18.95, a bargain for its customisation and premium feel.
XROS 5: £23.95, justified by reliability and battery.
Winner: Xlim Pro 2—cheaper without cutting corners.
Real-World Insights
We vaped both for weeks in our Caerphilly Vape Shop, and here’s the truth. The OXVA Xlim Pro 2 is a flavour beast—crank the wattage, dial in the airflow, and get crisp, vibrant hits, especially with fruity juices. Its top-fill EZ pods are a game-changer, making refills as slick as the XROS. The 1300mAh battery holds up for most vapers, though it’s a tad behind the XROS 5. For tinkerers, the Xlim’s precise controls and premium build make it a joy to use. The Vaporesso XROS 5 is the ultimate daily driver—plug in a pod, hit it, and enjoy bold flavours all day. It's 1500mAh battery and 3A charging mean you’re never caught out. It’s perfect for beginners or vapers who want zero drama. Both are 2025 champs, TPD-compliant for UK safety, but the Xlim Pro 2’s flavour and customisation give it a slight edge in real-world use.
Verdict: Which Should You Buy?
The OXVA Xlim Pro 2 (£18.95) just nips the win for most UK vapers. Its superior flavour clarity, precise controls, and premium build make it a standout for those who love to tweak or chase vibrant hits. Perfect for fruit juice fans, beginners or experienced vapers, it’s a steal for the price. The Vaporesso XROS 5 (£23.99) is a close second, shining for beginners with its ease of use, longer battery life, and reliable performance. Pair either with nic salts from one of our vape juice deals for max value. Shop both at The Vape House with fast UK delivery!
