TL;DR – Here’s what’s new with the Vaporesso XROS 5…
This ain’t no ordinary update; Vaporesso has included improvements across the board inside the XROS 5 to deliver more flavor and even longer lasting coils.
Key New Features
- ✅ 1500mAh battery with 3A Type-C fast charging
- ✅ New colors: Cosmic Black, Coral Red, Jade Green, and more
- ✅ Pod options: 0.4Ω, 0.6Ω, 0.8Ω, 1.0Ω, 1.2Ω resistances
- ✅ Comes with two pods (0.6Ω pre-installed, 0.8Ω in box)
- ✅ 3ml pod capacity (2ml for TPD & CRC versions)
- ✅ Improved flavor, better coil longevity (and they were already bonkers-good before)
Between the XROS 4 and the XROS Pro, Vaporesso pretty much has the entire pod market tied up.
And yet here we are, talking about the successor model to the XROS 4 – the newly minted Vaporesso XROS 5 pod system.
Designed to build on the huge success of the XROS 4, the XROS 5 packs serious upgrades inside a sleek, stylish body — and it comes in a ton of new colors too.
The big things for me, as someone that has used every single XROS vape, is the 1500mAh battery (that’s the biggest we’ve seen to date inside an XROS vape) and the promise of even longer lasting pods with COREX 3.0.
There’s a new display, more power (up to 30W), and the design is as compact and as sleek as ever.
I’ve been using the XROS 4 Nano and XROS Pro as my daily drivers for the past 18 months. On average, I change coils every 3.5 weeks. Nothing else in the pod market can match this kind of longevity.
And with COREX 3.0, Vaporesso reckons the pods will last even longer. I don’t have my review unit yet, but I am insanely pumped to try the XROS 5 out. In fact, I don’t think I’ve been this excited for a new vape in many, many years.
You’ll get two pods right in the box — a 0.6Ω mesh pod pre-installed and a 0.8Ω mesh pod ready to swap — plus a Type-C cable and everything else you need to get started.
New Colors, New Style
Vaporesso didn’t just tweak the internals. The XROS 5 comes in a vibrant range of finishes, including Cosmic Black, Lavender Purple, Coral Red, Grey Silk, Blue Silk, Violet Silk, Opal Pink, Opal White, Jade Green, and Carbon Stripe.
Whether you like bold colors or sleek classics, there’s a version of the XROS 5 to match your style.

Summary of The Main Differences

- XROS 5: 1500mAh + 3A fast charging
- XROS 4: 1000mAh + 2A charging
The XROS 5 wins hands down here; it’s got a bigger battery and it’ll charge faster.
🔥 Coil Tech
- XROS 5: COREX 3.0
- XROS 4: COREX 2.0
Newer coil tech = better flavor and longer pod life. XROS 5 pulls ahead again.
⚙️ Features
- XROS 4: Adjustable airflow + power modes
- XROS 5: None of that—just plug ‘n vape
Prefer customization? The XROS 4 is your guy.
🎨 Design & Colors
- More color options and a sleeker finish on the XROS 5. Simple as that.
Bottom line? The XROS 5 is a massive update. It runs rings around the XROS 4, adding in a larger battery, more power, an improved display, and faster charging. Vaporesso done good!
Price and Release Date
The Vaporesso XROS 5 is now available with a starting MSRP of $35.90. There’s also a Mini model too, and I’m hoping there’s a new Pro model in the mix as well.
My current Vaporesso XROS Pro – the pod we currently recommend the most – is starting to show its age.
I could do with a new, updated model. If it gets the same treatment the XROS 5 has with updates, the next-gen XROS Pro 2 – that’s what I’m calling it FYI – could well be the pod vape system A LOT of us have been waiting for.
In the meantime, I’ve already placed my order for the XROS 5 so you can expect my review in a week or so, once I’ve run through everything and got a feel for its new features and how long its new COREX 3-powered pods last for…
