I didn't think I'd like the VPrime. I'm an MTL dude these days. But damn this thing RIPS. The flavor is incredible, thanks to its brilliant coil tech and the battery – even with heavy use – will do a full day, no problem. If you want to sub-ohm vape with a pod vape, this is the only game in town right now.

The standard OXVA XLIM Pro 2 delivers properly impressive flavor, it's up in the top 1% in this context. The battery life is great too, lasing all day. It's simple to use, nice and compact, and it's well built. Basically, it nails pretty much everything I care about in one awesome device.
Standout Features & Benefits
The pod vape space is crowded, but the OXVA XLIM Pro 2 stands out by getting the important stuff right: killer battery life, fast charging, and versatile pod options.
Here’s why it’s worth your attention.
Why We Like It
🔋 Battery Life That Lasts
The 1300mAh battery is a beast — expect 3 to 4 days of moderate use on a single charge. That’s a major leap over most pod systems.
⚡ Super Fast Charging
With 2A USB-C charging, you’re back to 100% in under 30 minutes. Perfect if you’re always on the go.
📺 Bright OLED Screen
The 0.56” OLED display shows wattage, puff count, coil resistance, battery level, and even some slick RGB effects. Clean, simple, helpful.
🎛️ Full Control
Wattage range: 5W to 30W
Airflow slider: Tight MTL to smooth RDL — dial it how you like it.
🧃 Pod Flexibility
Works with:
V2 side-fill pods
V3 top-fill pods
OXVA prefilled pods
You get 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω mesh pods in the box, so you’re good either way.
🛠️ Premium Feel
Made from zinc alloy with grippy textured panels — sturdy but light enough to carry all day.
Final Verdict
The XLIM Pro 2 doesn’t try to reinvent the pod vape. It just does everything right — solid battery, fast charging, a clean UI, and flexible performance.
It’s one of the most practical, well-rounded pod vapes we’ve tested in 2025.

DNA chipsets have always been the top-shelf choice in the mod world, so seeing one in a pod vape is pretty wild. The best part? It doesn’t feel overcomplicated. The Xlim Pro 2 DNA just works—flavour’s on point, dry-hit protection saves your coils, and Replay Mode is surprisingly useful.
Standout Features & Benefits
I spent over two weeks running the Oxva Xlim Pro 2 DNA as my daily driver.
Here’s what stood out during real-world use, and why I think it could be one of the best pod vape releases of the year:
- Battery Endurance: The 1300mAh battery easily lasts a full day, even with heavy RDL use. Lighter MTL vapers might stretch it to two days between charges.
- Flavour Consistency: Thanks to the DNA chipset’s power adjustments, flavour stays locked in from pod start to finish. No weird dips or burnt hits.
- Replay Mode: One of those features you didn’t know you needed until you try it. Set your favourite puff and just let it repeat—no fiddling.
- AI Dry-Hit Protection: It genuinely works. No more surprise burnt hits when your pod runs dry.
- Build Quality: Solid, premium-feeling device with a comfortable mouthpiece. The TFT screen is clear and easy to read without looking cluttered.
- Ease of Use: Despite the DNA chip, setup is simple. Pods snap in, settings adjust easily through the menu, and airflow control is smooth.
- Charging: USB-C rapid charging is efficient—full charge in about 40–45 minutes.
- Pod Variety: The new SS pods seriously improve heat control and coil lifespan. Flavour is noticeably sharper compared to standard mesh pods.
Bottom line:
If you’re after a pod kit that delivers serious mod-level performance without turning into a science project, the Oxva Xlim Pro 2 DNA is one of the best all-round options available in 2025. It’s smart, compact, and genuinely elevates flavour to the next level.
What’s The Best OXVA Vape Right Now?
Next to Vaporesso, OXVA is my go-to brand when it comes to pod vapes.
Its coil tech is next-level with respect to performance and choice, and the vapes themselves are built like tanks.
The three I have chosen for this guide are all brilliant but they target different types of vapers.
Here’s how it breaks down (and which is best for different types of users):
- The OXVA VPrime is basically a vape mod disguised as a pod vape; it’ll do MTL and also sub-ohm vaping with high VG juice, thanks to its extensive coil lineup and 60W of power.
- The XLIM Pro 2 DNA is my current daily-driver; it’s compact, easy to live with, and, thanks to its EVOLV chipset, it is the most advanced pod system on the market.
- The OXVA XLIM Pro 2 is basically the same deal as the XLIM Pro 2 DNA, just minus all the DNA-powered wizardry. It’s cheaper (and just as good where it counts; flavor, battery life, and coil longevity).
Which Is The Right OXVA Vape For You?
Advanced Users, Tinkerers & Control Freaks
If you’re the kind of guy or gal that likes to tinker with settings and really dial-in how your pod system vapes, go with the OXVA XLIM Pro 2 DNA.
It runs EVOLV’s DNA chipset which opens up an entire buffet of settings and tweaks you simply do not get on non-DNA pod vapes.
The DNA chipset ensures insane levels of accuracy, both for how it fires and how power is delivered. You can create profiles, it has dry hit protection built-in, and it runs the battery more efficiently.
It is more expensive, though: next-generation features and capabilities cost money.
Vapers That Want The Easy Life…
If you prefer your vapes simple, the standard OXVA XLIM Pro 2 is the one to go with.
It’s basically the same deal as the XLIM Pro 2 DNA, just minus all the fancy bells and whistles the DNA brings with it.
It looks the same, is made from the same materials, it runs the same coils, and in my testing of both devices, the flavor and coil longevity is exactly the same as well.
For Those That Want Vape Mod Performance & Capabilities In A Pod Vape Format
The OXVA VPrime took me by surprise. This thing is part pod vape, part vape mod. It packs in a truly gigantic 2600mAh battery and 60w of power, so you can run it sub-ohm mode or low-power mode.
This means, providing you have the coils, you can run nic salts and high VG juice in it.
I’ve tested both the 0.2ohm coils (sub-ohm with High VG Juice) and the 0.8ohm coils (MTL with nic salts) and the performance is bonkers-good.
It’s a robust device too, with plenty of heft and weight to it. For flexibility, the VPrime is superb. I missed being able to run both nic salts and High VG juice in my vapes.
I literally hadn’t used High VG juice for about 18 months before testing the VPrime!
If you want a pod vape that can happily do both sub-ohm vaping and MTL vaping with nicotine salts, and last all bloody day while it does it, the OXVA VPrime is the one to go for.
Bottom Line / Key Takeaways
OXVA makes some of the best pod vapes on the market right now. For sheer innovation and execution, I don’t think any other brand can touch it.
Vaporesso is brilliant with reliability and coil tech, but OXVA’s focus on constantly pushing things forwards makes it the superior brand overall.
The VPrime is a great example of this.
We’ve had hybrid systems like this before from SMOK, but none of them can match the finesse of this pod system.
From its industrial design to its extensive and very reliable coil range, it is a masterclass in what’s possible when you have brilliant engineers working for you.
Whichever you go with, you’re going to have a blast. I usually include an Editor’s Pick, citing the one I recommend the most. But these vapes all stand on their own.
They’re all excellent across the board, so your job is to pick the one you think you’d enjoy using most. The one that fits your style of vaping best.
Me? I use the OXVA XLIM Pro 2 DNA but, to be frank, I don’t use half of its features and if I hadn’t been sent it for review, I’d probably just have bought the standard XLIM Pro 2.
Why? I’m kind of a basic-bitch when it comes to my daily drivers. I like MTL vaping, coils that last weeks between changes, and big flavor and battery life.
The XLIM Pro 2 does all of these things. But I did really enjoy testing the VPRIME. I had no idea how much I missed sub-ohm vaping until I started doing it again.
The cool thing about the VPRIME is that it’ll do MTL with nic salts too. In this respect, it’s the most versatile of the bunch.
