Vaporesso XROS 5 Mini — refined simplicity
The XROS line is one of the most trusted in pod vaping, and the 5 Mini refines the formula around COREX 3.0 Heating Technology — an upgraded mesh structure and refined cotton for intensified flavour and extended pod life. It eliminates buttons and screens entirely, using an adjustable airflow slider for MTL to RDL and a Tidal Light battery indicator for power feedback. The 1500mAh battery hits 80% in just 20 minutes on 2A Type-C fast charging. The anodised aluminium unibody feels genuinely premium. At R429.
OXVA NeXLIM Go — more power, bigger battery
The NeXLIM Go pushes harder on raw performance with Dual Mesh Technology (claimed up to 200% richer flavour), a larger 1800mAh battery, and a higher 40W max output. Switchable ECO Mode extends battery life; BOOST Mode intensifies flavour and vapour. The 4ml top-fill pods hold more than the XROS's 3ml. Draw-activated with instant response, compatible with NeXLIM cartridges and selected XLIM pods. Starts at R350 — R79 less than the XROS 5 Mini.
