Build quality and design
The XROS MINI is a compact, stick-style pod system, slightly shorter but thicker than the Caliburn. Measuring 98.9 mm x 23.4 mm x 13.5 mm, it’s lightweight yet feels solid and durable. Available in six colors, including gradient and solid options, its design features an “anti-smudge” diamond plate texture that resists fingerprints. The inhale-to-fire device has no buttons, just an easy-to-see LED indicator for battery status. Overall, it’s a well-built and stylish pod system designed for everyday use.
Getting started
The XROS MINI is a pretty typical pod system that’s simple to use which is good for beginners. There are no buttons or anything, no options or features. It’s a simple fill, vape, and charge device, making it ideal for beginners.
The XROS MINI is a beginner-friendly, simple pod system with no buttons or advanced features—just fill, vape, and charge.
Pods attach securely via strong magnets and are easy to insert or remove.
Refilling is straightforward: push back the mouthpiece to access a large fill hole, compatible with fine-tip bottles.
The pod is clear, allowing easy monitoring of e-juice levels, though tilting may be needed to check when it’s low.
Overall, the device offers ease of use and a hassle-free vaping experience.
Performance
The XROS MINI features built-in 1.2-ohm MTL coils, delivering a tight draw with minimal airflow. The XROS pods are compatible with the entire XROS line but cannot be used with other VAPORESSO coils. Unfortunately, the kit includes only one pod, which is disappointing as most kits typically offer a spare.
Using 50/50 nicotine salts at 20-24 mg, the flavor output was impressive, on par with the best MTL pods on the market. Each coil lasted around 12 mL of e-juice, which exceeds the usual 10 mL expectation for devices of this kind. While the performance won’t blow anyone away, the coils deliver consistent flavor, good longevity, and solid overall results.
Battery life and charging
VAPORESSO claims the XROS MINI’s 1000 mAh battery lasts two days, though actual performance depends on usage. My testing showed a slightly smaller capacity at 920 mAh, but it still performs well. The device charges at 1A as advertised, taking 62 minutes for a full charge—fast for a pod system. On average, the battery lasts through two pods of e-juice before needing a recharge, making it an “all-day vape” for many users. VAPORESSO’s ratings are accurate, which is a reassuring sign of quality.

CONCLUSION
Overall, VAPORESSO did a good job with the XROS MINI. It’s nothing new or groundbreaking and doesn’t really stand out, but it’s a solid overall device to help new vapers and people looking to quit smoking. It does everything it promises in an affordable and well-built package. It’s simple and just works.
I really don’t have anything bad to say about it, other than there should have been a spare pod included in the kit. If you are in the market for a new simple pod device the XROS MINI is well worth looking at.
