How to Fill Vaporesso XROS 3ml Pod (Including UK 2ml Pods)

Introduction

The Vaporesso XROS series is known for its ease of use and sleek design, making it a favourite among both new and experienced vapers. Whether you're using the 3ml or the 2ml pod, filling your pod correctly is crucial for getting the best performance and avoiding leaks or dry hits. This guide will walk you through the steps for filling both pod types, highlighting the differences between the 3ml rubber plug design and the 2ml snap-off mouthpiece design used in the UK.

Understanding the Vaporesso XROS Pod System

The Vaporesso XROS is a compact pod system that offers flexibility with adjustable airflow and two pod sizes: 3ml and 2ml. The device is designed for simplicity, allowing users to enjoy an excellent vaping experience with minimal setup and maintenance. Both pod sizes are easy to use and are designed for MTL (mouth-to-lung) vaping, making them ideal for those who prefer a tighter draw.

The key difference between the two pods lies in their design. The 3ml pod, typically available outside the UK, features a rubber plug that must be removed to access the fill port. In contrast, the 2ml pod, standard in the UK due to TPD regulations, uses a snap-off mouthpiece for easier filling.

3ml Pod vs 2ml Pod: Key Differences

Although both pods are designed for the Vaporesso XROS system, there are key differences between the 3ml and 2ml pods that affect how they are filled:

• 3ml Pod: This pod uses a rubber plug design, which must be lifted to access the fill port. This design is commonly found outside the UK and offers a larger e-liquid capacity.

• 2ml Pod: The 2ml pod, which complies with the UK's TPD regulations, uses a snap-off mouthpiece design. This makes the filling process slightly different but still simple and straightforward.

Despite these differences, both pod types are easy to fill and maintain, and the vaping experience remains largely the same between the two options.

Available Vaporesso XROS Pod Options

Vaporesso offers a range of pod resistances, allowing users to choose the best option for their vaping style:

• 0.4 ohm Mesh Pod: Only compatible with the XROS Pro, this pod provides a direct-to-lung (DTL) experience with a 25W best wattage.
• 0.6 ohm Mesh Pod: Suitable for both restricted-direct-to-lung (RDTL) and MTL, this pod works best at 21W. Available in both 3ml (rubber plug) and 2ml (snap-off) versions.
• 0.7 ohm Mesh Pod: Best For MTL vaping around 18 wattage for the best flavours only comes in the 3ml size
• 0.8 ohm Mesh Pod: Ideal for MTL users, with a 16W best wattage, this pod is available in both 3ml and 2ml versions.
• 1.0 ohm Standard Pod: Best for 12W MTL vaping, this pod offers a balanced flavour and vapour experience. Only Available in 2ml version.
• 1.2 ohm Standard Pod: Perfect for those who prefer a tighter draw at 10W, this pod provides a smooth MTL experience with only the 2ml option.

The new COREX 2.0 pods feature upgraded heating technology, providing enhanced flavour and longevity. These pods are available in the same resistance options but feature Vaporesso's innovative leak-proof SSS technology and a more efficient heating system for faster, more even e-liquid vaporisation.

Step-by-Step: How to Fill the Vaporesso XROS 3ml Pod

1. Remove the Pod: Gently pull the 3ml pod out of the Vaporesso XROS device.
2. Open the Fill Port: Locate the rubber plug on the side of the pod. Carefully lift the plug to reveal the fill port.
3. Fill with E-Liquid: Using the nozzle of your e-liquid bottle, fill the pod through the exposed fill port. Be cautious not to overfill the pod to avoid leaks.
4. Seal the Pod: Close the rubber plug securely to ensure no e-liquid escapes.
5. Reattach the Pod: Insert the pod back into the XROS device and ensure it snaps in place.

Step-by-Step: How to Fill the Vaporesso XROS 2ml Pod

1. Remove the Pod: Pull the 2ml pod out of the device.
2. Snap Off the Mouthpiece: Remove the mouthpiece by snapping it off carefully.
3. Fill with E-Liquid: Fill the pod through the exposed fill port. Again, avoid overfilling to prevent leaks.
4. Snap the Mouthpiece Back On: Once filled, snap the mouthpiece back onto the pod securely.
5. Reinsert the Pod: Place the pod back into the device and ensure it clicks into place.

Filling Mistakes to Avoid

• Overfilling: Always leave a small air gap at the top of the pod to avoid leaks and spillage.
• Not Sealing Properly: Make sure the rubber plug (3ml) or mouthpiece (2ml) is securely in place after filling to prevent leaks.
• Using the Wrong E-Liquid: Ensure you're using e-liquids compatible with your Vaporesso XROS pod for the best performance.

Priming the Coil

After filling the pod, it’s important to let the pod sit for about 5 minutes to allow the e-liquid to fully saturate the coil. This step, known as priming, ensures you don’t experience dry hits and helps extend the life of your coil.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Leaking: If your pod is leaking, check if the pod is overfilled or if the rubber plug or mouthpiece isn’t properly secured.
• Weak Flavour: If the flavour is weak, make sure the coil is properly primed, and consider adjusting the airflow settings.
• Dry Hits: Dry hits are often a sign that the coil isn’t properly saturated. Make sure to prime the coil and refill when necessary.

Best E-Liquids for Vaporesso XROS Pods

For the best performance, use e-liquids with a 50/50 VG/PG ratio, as they provide a balance of flavour and vapour production. Nicotine salt e-liquids are also recommended for a smoother throat hit and better nicotine satisfaction in MTL devices like the Vaporesso XROS.

Cleaning and Maintenance of Vaporesso XROS Pods

To keep your Vaporesso XROS pod functioning optimally, it’s important to clean the device and pod regularly. Remove any excess e-liquid or residue from the pod and device connections using a soft cloth or tissue. This helps prevent build-up that can affect performance.

When to Refill and Replace Your Vaporesso XROS Pod

You should refill your Vaporesso XROS pod when you notice the e-liquid level is running low. On average, a full 2ml or 3ml pod should last a day depending on usage. Replace the pod or coil when you experience a burnt taste, weak flavour, or reduced vapour production.

Can You Reuse Vaporesso XROS Pods?

Vaporesso XROS pods are designed for multiple refills, so you can reuse them until the coil or pod starts showing signs of wear. However, regularly cleaning the pod and ensuring it’s maintained will help extend its lifespan.

Vaporesso XROS Airflow Adjustment

The Vaporesso XROS allows users to adjust the airflow to customise their vaping experience. A tighter airflow setting will produce a more restricted draw, ideal for MTL vaping. A looser airflow setting will provide a more open draw, similar to DTL (direct-to-lung) vaping.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Filling Vaporesso XROS Pods

• Not Priming the Coil: Skipping the priming step can lead to dry hits and reduce coil lifespan.
• Using the Wrong E-Liquids: Avoid using high VG e-liquids as they may not wick properly in MTL pods like the Vaporesso XROS.
• Overfilling the Pod: Always leave a small gap when filling to prevent leakage.

Conclusion

Filling your Vaporesso XROS pod correctly is key to ensuring a smooth, enjoyable vaping experience. Whether you're using the 3ml pod with a rubber plug or the 2ml snap-off pod in the UK, following these steps will help you avoid leaks, prime your coil properly, and maintain your device for the best performance.
