What distinguishes the Vaporesso XROS 5 and XROS 5 Mini?
Here’s a clear breakdown of the main differences between the Vaporesso XROS 5 and the XROS 5 Mini, so you can easily decide which one suits you best.
Overall differences
Form factor and design: The XROS 5 is slightly larger and offers more features (color display, extra settings). The XROS 5 Mini is more compact and pocket-friendly, focusing on flavor and portability.
Target user: XROS 5 is aimed at users who want more customization and visual feedback. XROS 5 Mini suits those who prioritise simplicity, flavour and portability.
Battery and charging
Both devices have a built-in 1500 mAh battery.
XROS 5 supports faster charging up to 3A (shorter charging time).
XROS 5 Mini charges via USB-C at 2A, which is still fast but slightly slower than the XROS 5.
Display and user interface
XROS 5 features a 0.88″ colour screen showing battery percentage, charging animation and selectable visual themes.
XROS 5 Mini uses an LED indicator for battery status (no colour display) and offers auto-draw and button activation.
Pod and coil compatibility
Both are compatible with the entire XROS pod series (0.4Ω, 0.6Ω, 0.8Ω, 1.0Ω, 1.2Ω), but XROS 5’s 3 ml pods give longer refill intervals.
Power & resistance: XROS 5 offers multiple power modes and displays settings on the screen; the 0.4Ω pod runs within a specific watt range (e.g. 15–30W). The Mini is more plug-and-play but still flexible with airflow adjustments.
Airflow and user adjustments
Both models feature adjustable airflow so you can fine-tune between mouth-to-lung (MTL) and restricted direct-lung (RDL) draws.
XROS 5 provides more visual feedback and additional settings via the display; the Mini offers intuitive controls for the same core adjustments.
Recommendation — which to choose?
Choose XROS 5 if you want more customization options, a colour display and faster charging. It’s ideal for users who appreciate visual battery info, theme options and greater control over settings.
Choose XROS 5 Mini if you prefer a compact, flavour-focused device with COREX 3.0 — perfect for pocket carry and everyday use where simplicity matters.
