Popular Vapes:
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.
It sounds like a gimmick, right? Plenty of disposables lean into gimmicks but this one actually pulls it off, and best of all it bloody works too. It's crazy how the flavor and hit changes. And with 40K puffs, you can tinker for weeks with this thing.
This is my daily driver. I test new vapes constantly—disposables, pods, AIOs—and none of them touch the XROS 5 for flavor or reliability. It’s the one I keep coming back to. If you're done with gimmicks and just want something that works flawlessly, this is it.
I love that you can do MTL and DTL on it, and everything in between. I like the touchscreen for the adjustment buttons (when I remember they’re there) and I love the flavour from the GTX coils, especially the 0.2 dualmesh one.
All the most advanced new tech in the vape world is aimed at two types of devices: pod vapes and next-gen disposable vapes.
These are the two most popular types of vapes right now, with disposables (and hybrid disposables) having a significant lead.
Next-gen disposable vapes are more like hybrid vape mod/pod vapes now; they pack in detailed screens, support refillable pods, and the coil tech is some of the best on the market.
The real action now is in advanced pod kits — sleek, smart, and packed with features that would’ve sounded like sci-fi back in 2019. Think mesh coils, app connectivity, longer-lasting batteries, and even touchscreens in some models.
Basically, if you’re still clutching a basic stick-style pod or puffing on throwaway Elf Bars, you’re missing out on some seriously cool gear.
Here’s what’s setting the newest vapes apart from the old-school stuff:
Mesh Coil Technology
These days, mesh coils are standard kit — and for good reason. They heat your juice more evenly, which means:
Better flavor (and I mean noticeably better)
Faster ramp-up
Longer coil lifespan
Fun fact: The Vaporesso XROS series was one of the early adopters of proper mesh coils, and it’s still leagues ahead of most brands when it comes to flavor delivery.
Smart Features
Some pod vapes now connect to your phone. Yup, you read that right.
With Bluetooth and apps, you can:
Track your puffs per day
Adjust wattage and temp
Set limits (if you’re trying to cut back)
Even mix flavors inside the device. No, seriously
Built with Sustainability in Mind
Disposable vapes are a bin-filler’s nightmare. And while they’re still everywhere, the tide is turning. Reusable pod kits with recyclable packaging, refillable pods, and longer battery life are where most brands are heading now.
Easy answer: Pod systems. They dominate. And at the top of that list? The Vaporesso XROS Pro.
If you’ve been around VapeBeat for a while, you already know how much we rate this device. It delivers insane flavor, lasts all day, and charges fast. It’s the kind of vape you pick up and just never put down.
