A Complete Guide to the Vaporesso XROS 5 & XROS 5 Mini Pod Vape Kits
Vaporessoβs latest additions to their bestselling XROS series β the XROS 5 and XROS 5 Mini β bring sleek design, improved battery performance, and ease of use to the forefront of pod vaping.
Whether youβre upgrading from an older model or making the switch from disposables, this guide breaks down everything you need to know about the XROS 5 and XROS 5 Mini, including how to use them, fill them, charge them, and more.
How to Use the Vaporesso XROS 5 & XROS 5 Mini
Both kits are designed with simplicity in mind. Just fill your pod with e-liquid, allow it to prime, and you're ready to vape.
Priming the Coil
To prime your Vaporesso XROS pod, fill it with your chosen e-liquid and let it sit upright for 5β10 minutes. This saturates the coil and prevents dry hits or premature burning. You can find a wide range of e-liquids suitable for this step on our website.
Turning On the XROS 5
-
Click the side button five times quickly to power on or off.
-
Three clicks change the power setting (Eco, Normal, Power).
-
Four clicks lock/unlock the button while still allowing draw activation.
Using the XROS 5 Mini
The XROS 5 Mini is buttonless and fires automatically when you inhale through the mouthpiece β ideal for beginners or fans of minimalist design.

When & How to Change Vaporesso XROS Pods
When flavour drops off or you taste burning, itβs time to switch your pod. Swapping is simple:
-
Remove the old pod and insert a new one.
-
Always prime the pod before use.
TIP: Mild leaking or gurgling? Blow gently through the mouthpiece while holding a tissue to the airflow vent β it might just be excess liquid, not a burnt coil.
Adjusting Airflow on the XROS 5 & Mini
Both devices include a slider-style airflow control on the back. Slide to adjust between:
-
Tighter draw β MTL (mouth-to-lung), cigarette-like
-
Looser draw β RDL (restricted direct lung), smoother and airy
This flexibility makes the XROS range great for personalising your vape style.
