The OXVA XLIM SQ is a compact, beginner-friendly addition to the XLIM pod family. Featuring a unique square design, it retains the core functionality of the original OXVA XLIM while offering a fresh, portable alternative. But does it truly stand out?
The OXVA XLIM SQ stands out with its compact square design, measuring 68.5mm x 47mm x 14mm and weighing just 44g—light as a box of mints. Its rounded edges ensure comfort and stability, while a lanyard loop adds portability. It uses 2ml XLIM V2 pods with built-in 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω mesh coils for nicotine salts, snapping in magnetically. Key features include an LED battery indicator and adjustable side airflow for a smooth MTL draw, with auto-adjusting power up to 22W or 16W depending on the pod.

Using The Xlim SQ Pods
The XLIM V2 pods offer convenient side-filling, secure sealing, and smooth juice flow. Their semi-transparent design makes it easy to monitor e-liquid levels, and they’re highly durable—lasting over 15 refills with minimal flavor degradation. The 0.6Ω pod delivers warmer, denser vapor at 22W, while both pod options provide excellent flavor and strong throat hits, ideal for 25-50mg nicotine salt juices.
Draw & Airflow Adjustability
The slidable airflow control offers versatile draw styles, from a loose, airy MTL to a tighter, more restricted inhale. Halfway open provides the best balance of airflow and flavor, while fully closed may slightly reduce vapor density. It accommodates both loose and tight MTL preferences effectively.

Battery Life & Charging
The XLIM SQ packs an impressive 900 mAh battery into its petite frame which lasts satisfyingly long between top-ups:
I managed an average two days of moderate use from the 0.8Ω pods.
The more power hungry 0.6Ω pods reduced this closer to a full day under heavier vaping.
While vaping frequency impacts this greatly, it generally outlasts expectations for a device this compact. Charging it from empty took 45 minutes consistently via the Type-C port.
The LED indicator transitions color dependinging on remaining battery:
Green – Above 65%
Blue – Between 30% to 65%
Red – Below 30%
The LED battery indicator provides a clear gauge of when to recharge, even without showing an exact percentage. I began charging whenever the light turned blue to avoid running out of battery unexpectedly.
Performance & Vapor Quality
Both the 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω pods offer excellent vapor quality and consistent flavor, true to OXVA’s reputation. The 0.8Ω pods provide a slightly lighter vapor at 16W, while the 0.6Ω pods produce larger, warmer clouds at 22W. Throughout extended testing, there were no issues with leaking, flooding, or dry hits, and airflow remained consistent, even as the juice level decreased
Conclusion
The XLIM SQ offers the same great flavor and vapor performance as the original XLIM, now in a compact square design. It uses XLIM V2 pods with automatic power output for easy use. With efficient airflow control, durable pods, and good battery life, it’s a solid pocket-friendly MTL option. The unique exterior and added lanyard attachment set it apart, making it a great choice for both new and experienced vapers seeking a portable, flavor-focused pod system.
