Is VAPORESSO XROS 3 the Best Pod Vape of the Year?

The VAPORESSO XROS 3 upgrades the popular MTL line with adjustable airflow, making it the first XROS capable of RDL vaping. It boasts a 1000 mAh battery, COREX-powered coils, RGB LED battery indicators, and comes in eight stylish colors.

The VAPORESSO XROS 3 continues to evolve the XROS line, offering a tighter draw option for fans of Caliburn-style vapes. It features fully adjustable airflow, a new 0.6-ohm coil for RDL vaping, a 1000 mAh battery, 2 mL top-fill pods, and the latest AXON chip with COREX coil tech for lasting flavor. Released alongside the smaller XROS 3 Mini, the Mini lacks a button and has preset airflow. Stay tuned to see how the XROS 3 compares to the LUXE QS in performance and versatility.

Build quality and design

The VAPORESSO XROS 3 boasts stellar build quality with a premium feel, a clicky button, and a solid airflow slider—better than competitors like the Caliburn X. At 115.1 mm x 23.6 mm x 13.7 mm, it’s slightly larger than the XROS 2 but remains compact while offering a larger battery. The design is simple, with a standout LED bar featuring a neon rainbow effect, complementing its gradient and solid color options like black, navy blue, and space grey

Getting started

Using the XROS 3 is very straightforward. It is a button and draw-activated device, and the only adjustable feature is the airflow.

Push the mouthpiece at its flat side to remove it.

Fill the pod through the red-marked hole and set it aside for five minutes to saturate.

Five clicks of the fire button turn the device on/off.

Set the airflow using the slider on the front (right for tight, left for loose).

Push the button or just inhale on the mouthpiece to vape.

A button combination to disable the LED bar would be ideal, but it’s easy to cover with a finger, especially when using draw activation mode.

Performance

The XROS 3 comes with two pods in the box:

One 0.6-ohm mesh pod (for MTL and RDL)

One 1.0-ohm mesh pod (for MTL)

The two XROS 3 coils deliver distinct experiences but lean towards MTL performance. The device is backward compatible with previous XROS pods.

  • 1.0-ohm Pod: Ideal for MTL, offering airflow from slightly loose to very tight. It works great with higher-strength salts, delivering warm, consistent flavor. With six full pods used, performance remains flawless. The airflow sensor is highly responsive unless fully open, where the button may be needed.

  • 0.6-ohm Pod: Ranges between loose MTL and tight RDL. It performs well as an MTL pod with airflow nearly closed. For RDL use, streamlining airflow helps, but the sensor may struggle with wider airflow. It’s better suited for lower-nicotine juices. Coil life is impressive, maintaining flavor across eight or nine pods.

Battery life and charging

With the 0.6-ohm pod, the XROS 3 delivers over 3.5 mL of use per charge—nearly matching the 4 mL from the LUXE QS. The 1000 mAh battery lives up to its rating, offering impressive performance despite the warmth of the vape. The LED bar doubles as a battery indicator, displaying the charge level once the puff and light show finish.

Green: 70-100%

Blue: 30-70%

Red: 0-30%

The XROS 3 charges via a bottom-mounted Type-C port, taking 55 minutes for a full charge—consistent with its 1A rating. With its excellent battery life, the quick charging time is more than adequate.
