The Vaporesso XROS 5 Pod Vape Kit is the flagship compact MTL pod kit in the Vaporesso XROS range, built around a 1,500mAh internal battery, 0.88-inch HD colour display, and COREX 3.0 heating technology.
Compatible with the full XROS pod lineup from 0.4 ohm to 1.2 ohm, the XROS 5 delivers up to 30W of output through three dedicated power modes (PWR, NOR, ECO) plus 0.5W fine wattage adjustment on the 0.4 ohm pod.
Fitted with USB-C 5V/3A fast charging (reaching 80% charge in approximately 20 minutes), auto-draw and button activation, SSS Leak-Resistant top-fill design, and six customisable screen themes, the XROS 5 is engineered as an everyday carry pod kit for MTL and RDL vapers.
Fully UK TPD compliant with a 2ml pod chamber, MHRA registered, and ships with two COREX 3.0 pods (0.6 ohm and 0.8 ohm) for dual flavour setup out of the box.
Why Choose the Vaporesso XROS 5 Pod Vape Kit?
1,500mAh Battery with 5-Day Standby
The 1,500mAh internal battery delivers up to 2 days of vaping per charge on moderate daily use, with standby lasting up to 5 days between sessions. One of the biggest battery capacities in any compact MTL pod kit under 80g.
COREX 3.0 Heating Technology
Every XROS 5 pod uses Vaporesso's latest COREX 3.0 heating system, built around a redesigned mesh coil architecture with improved cotton wicking. Vaporesso's lab testing reports richer aroma reproduction, improved flavour delicacy, and more consistent performance across the full wattage range compared to standard mesh pods.
0.88-inch HD Display with Six Themes
The 0.88-inch colour HD screen shows live battery level, coil resistance, wattage, power mode, and puff counter. Six built-in themes (Space, Watch, Rainbow, Black, White, Pink) let you personalise the display, switchable with a double-click of the fire button.
Three Power Modes Plus Fine Adjustment
For 0.6 ohm, 0.8 ohm, 1.0 ohm, and 1.2 ohm pods, select PWR (maximum power), NOR (normal), or ECO (battery saving) with a triple-click of the fire button. The 0.4 ohm pod unlocks fine wattage adjustment in 0.5W steps from 15W to 30W for precise RDL tuning.
USB-C 5V/3A Fast Charging
Charges to 80% capacity in approximately 20 minutes at 5V/3A, significantly faster than the 5V/2A charging on older pod kits. Full charge in roughly 45 minutes. USB-C cable included in the box.
Auto-Draw and Button Activation
Choose between auto-draw (just inhale to fire) and button activation (press and hold the fire button) for your preferred vaping style. Both modes are enabled by default and work simultaneously.
Adjustable Airflow Slider
A sliding airflow control on the back lets you dial in your draw from tight MTL to looser RDL. Pair tight airflow with the 1.2 ohm pod for a cigarette-style draw, or open it fully with the 0.4 ohm pod for a restricted direct lung experience.
Top-Fill Design with SSS Leak Protection
Every XROS 5 pod uses top-fill design with a silicone plug and Vaporesso's SSS Leak-Resistant architecture, significantly reducing leaks compared to bottom-fill pods. Refilling takes under 10 seconds without removing the pod from the device.
14 Colour Options
Available in 10 standard finishes (Cosmic Black, Lavender Purple, Coral Red, Grey Silk, Blue Silk, Violet Silk, Opal Pink, Opal White, Jade Green, Carbon Stripe) plus 4 leather finishes (Black, Brown, Grey, Red). More colour variety than any other Vaporesso XROS model.

COREX 3.0 Pod Options and Recommended Wattage
The XROS 5 accepts the full COREX 3.0 pod range. Each pod is tuned for a different draw style and nicotine strength. Here's the recommended setup for each resistance.
| Pod | Wattage | Draw Style | Best E-Liquid |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.4 ohm COREX 3.0 | 15W to 30W | RDL, loose | 50/50 nic salt 10mg or freebase |

| 0.8 ohm COREX 3.0 (Included) | 12W to 16W | MTL to RDL | 50/50 nic salt 10mg or 20mg |

| 1.2 ohm COREX 3.0 | 8W to 12W | Tight MTL | 50/50 nic salt 20mg |
Pair the 0.8 ohm pod with DojoLiq 20mg nic salt for a smooth MTL draw, or use the 0.6 ohm with 10mg nic salts for a cooler RDL experience.
How to Use the Vaporesso XROS 5
First Time Setup
Remove the plastic film, pull the pod out of the device, open the silicone fill plug on the top, and fill with your chosen 10ml nic salt e-liquid up to the 2ml maximum line. Close the plug firmly and reinsert the pod into the device. Leave to prime for 5 to 10 minutes so the cotton wicking saturates fully.
Powering On and Off
Press the fire button 5 times rapidly to power on or off. The 0.88-inch screen lights up and shows the current pod resistance, wattage, battery level, and selected theme.
Changing Power Mode
Press the fire button 3 times to cycle between PWR (maximum output), NOR (balanced), and ECO (battery saving) modes. On the 0.4 ohm pod, triple-click opens 0.5W step adjustment instead.
Changing the Screen Theme
Press the fire button 2 times rapidly to cycle through the 6 screen themes (Space, Watch, Rainbow, Black, White, Pink). Theme choice persists across power cycles.
Opening Settings
Press the fire button 4 times to open the settings menu for puff counter reset, screen brightness, and device lock options.
Adjusting Airflow
Slide the airflow control on the back of the device toward the + icon for a looser RDL draw, or toward the - icon for a tighter MTL draw. The slider works while vaping with no need to power off.
Changing the Pod
Pull the pod straight up out of the device (magnetic connection) and insert the new pod the same way. No screws, no threading, no cleaning required between pod changes.
When to Replace Your XROS 5 Pod
COREX 3.0 pods typically last 7 to 14 days with regular daily use, depending on e-liquid flavour, wattage setting, and vaping frequency. Replace the pod when you notice any of the following.
- Burnt or harsh taste on every draw, even after refilling with fresh e-liquid
- Reduced flavour intensity compared to a fresh pod
- Noticeably thinner vapour production
- Gurgling sound when inhaling, indicating flooded or worn wicking
- E-liquid leaking from the airflow holes
- Darkened e-liquid colour in the pod window
Sweet dessert and custard e-liquids shorten pod life compared to fruit or menthol flavours. Replacement COREX 3.0 pods are sold in 2-pod packs at OrderVape.
Vaporesso XROS 5 vs XROS 5 Mini
The XROS 5 Mini is a simplified version of the XROS 5 with the same 1,500mAh battery and COREX 3.0 pod compatibility, but without the screen and themes. Here's how they compare.
| Feature | XROS 5 | XROS 5 Mini |
|---|---|---|
| Battery | 1,500mAh | 1,500mAh |
| Screen | 0.88-inch HD colour | None (LED indicator) |
| Themes | 6 customisable | Not applicable |
| Power Modes | PWR, NOR, ECO | Airflow toggle only |
| Pod Compatibility | Full XROS COREX 3.0 range | Full XROS COREX 3.0 range |
| Charging | USB-C 5V/3A | USB-C 5V/2A |
| Weight | 73.7g | Lighter |
| Best For | Vapers wanting display and modes | Simplified daily carry |
Both kits use the same pods, so you can freely move pods between a XROS 5 and XROS 5 Mini if you own both.
Who Is the Vaporesso XROS 5 Best For?
Daily MTL Vapers
The 0.8 ohm pod at 12W to 16W delivers a balanced MTL draw with strong flavour reproduction, suited to daily vapers who want an all-day carry kit with multi-day battery life.
Former Disposable Users
Following the UK's June 2025 single-use disposable ban, the XROS 5 is one of the easiest refillable alternatives. The 1.2 ohm pod at 10W paired with 20mg nic salt matches the draw style and nicotine hit of former disposable vapes like the Elf Bar and Hayati ranges.
Flavour-Focused Vapers
COREX 3.0 technology delivers noticeably richer flavour reproduction than older XROS 4 pods, making the XROS 5 suited to vapers who care about taste delicacy. Pair with DojoLiq or third-party 10ml nic salts for optimal flavour.
Vapers Who Want a Compact RDL Setup
The 0.4 ohm pod unlocks fine 0.5W wattage adjustment from 15W to 30W, delivering a restricted direct lung experience in one of the smallest pod kit formats on the UK market.
Vapers Upgrading from XROS 4 or XROS 3
The XROS 5 keeps full backwards compatibility with XROS pods while adding COREX 3.0, the 0.88-inch display, and 5V/3A fast charging. A direct upgrade path for existing XROS owners.
XROS 5 vs GTX One Pro, Which Should You Pick?
The XROS 5 is a compact pod kit, while the GTX One Pro is a mid-size vape kit with a removable tank. Here's the quick comparison.
| Feature | XROS 5 | GTX One Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Pod kit (pod swap) | Mod + XTank T (coil swap) |
| Battery | 1,500mAh | 3,000mAh |
| Max Wattage | 30W | 40W |
| Consumables | COREX 3.0 pods | GTX mesh coils |
| Weight | 73.7g | 140g |
| Best For | Pocket-friendly daily carry | Longer battery, lower running cost |
Pick the XROS 5 if you want the lightest everyday carry format. Pick the GTX One Pro if you want multi-day battery life and prefer coil changes over whole-pod swaps.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Vaporesso XROS 5?
The Vaporesso XROS 5 is a compact MTL/RDL refillable pod kit with a 1,500mAh battery, 0.88-inch colour HD display, COREX 3.0 heating technology, and up to 30W output. It's the flagship model in the Vaporesso XROS range, compatible with all COREX 3.0 pods from 0.4 to 1.2 ohm.
How long does the XROS 5 battery last?
The 1,500mAh battery delivers up to 2 days of vaping per charge on moderate daily use. Standby lasts up to 5 days between sessions. Actual runtime depends on pod resistance, wattage setting, and vaping frequency. ECO mode extends battery life by around 20% compared to PWR mode.
What pods does the XROS 5 use?
The XROS 5 uses Vaporesso COREX 3.0 pods in 0.4 ohm (RDL), 0.6 ohm (RDL), 0.8 ohm (MTL/RDL), 1.0 ohm (tight MTL), and 1.2 ohm (tight MTL). The kit ships with the 0.6 ohm pre-installed and a 0.8 ohm spare. All five resistances are sold as 2-pod replacement packs.
How do I fill the XROS 5 pod?
Pull the pod out of the device, flip open the silicone plug on top, insert your nic salt e-liquid bottle nozzle, and fill up to the 2ml maximum line. Close the plug firmly, reinsert the pod, and leave to prime for 5 to 10 minutes before vaping to prevent dry hits.
What's the difference between the XROS 5 and the XROS 5 Mini?
Both kits use the same 1,500mAh battery and COREX 3.0 pod compatibility. The XROS 5 has a 0.88-inch colour display, 6 screen themes, three power modes (PWR, NOR, ECO), and faster 5V/3A charging. The XROS 5 Mini drops the screen for a simple LED indicator, uses airflow adjustment instead of power modes, and charges at 5V/2A.
Is the XROS 5 MTL or DTL?
The XROS 5 supports MTL (mouth-to-lung) and RDL (restricted direct lung) draws, not full sub-ohm DTL. The 1.0 or 1.2 ohm pods deliver a tight MTL draw similar to a cigarette, while the 0.4 ohm pod opens up to a looser RDL experience. For sub-ohm DTL cloud chasing, see the Vaporesso Armour range instead.
What e-liquid should I use with the XROS 5?
For 1.0 ohm and 1.2 ohm pods, use 50/50 VG/PG nicotine salt e-liquid at 20mg strength, such as DojoLiq, ELFLIQ, Hayati, or Riot Salts. For the 0.6 ohm or 0.8 ohm pods, use 10mg or 20mg 50/50 nic salts. The 0.4 ohm pod works with 10mg nic salts or standard 50/50 freebase e-liquid.
How do I charge the XROS 5?
Connect the included USB-C cable to the port on the side of the device and plug into a 5V/3A fast charger. The battery reaches 80% capacity in approximately 20 minutes and full charge in roughly 45 minutes. The screen shows a live charging progress bar during charging.
How do I change the screen theme?
Press the fire button 2 times rapidly to cycle through the 6 built-in themes (Space, Watch, Rainbow, Black, White, Pink). Your theme choice persists across power cycles and is remembered until you change it again.
Does the Vaporesso XROS 5 leak?
The XROS 5 uses Vaporesso's SSS Leak-Resistant top-fill design, significantly reducing leaks compared to bottom-fill pods. To prevent leaks, always prime new pods for 5 to 10 minutes before vaping, don't overfill past the 2ml line, keep the airflow slider in a middle position, and replace worn pods promptly.
Is the Vaporesso XROS 5 UK TPD compliant?
Yes. The UK version of the XROS 5 ships with 2ml TPD pods (the global version ships with 3ml pods), is MHRA registered, CE certified, and fully compliant with the UK's post-June 2025 regulations on refillable vape kits.
How do I spot a fake Vaporesso XROS 5?
Every genuine Vaporesso pack includes a scratch-to-reveal security code on the outer box that scans against Vaporesso's official authentication page. Genuine units have precise button clicks, the 0.88-inch display's smooth animations, and holographic authenticity stickers. Buy only through authorised UK retailers like OrderVape.
