Vaporesso XROS 3 Vape Kit

The middle ground in the XROS range. Better airflow control and COREX mesh pods over the XROS 2, but none of the screens and modes that come with the XROS 4. For vapers who want improvement without complication, the XROS 3 gets the balance right.

A 1000mAh battery rated at up to 48 hours on a single charge; the adjustable airflow slider is smoother than the XROS 2's inlet, and it ships with a 0.6-ohm RDTL pod and a 1.0-ohm MTL pod so you can try both styles straight out of the box. COREX mesh pods last up to 20 days before swapping. Draw or button fire, your pick. Fill with any nic salt or 50/50 liquid. TPD compliant.

Why vapers choose the Vaporesso XROS 3 Vape Kit:

• Better airflow than the XROS 2 without the complexity of the XROS 4. The slider on the side is smooth, stepless, and stays where you set it. No screens to navigate, no power modes to learn.

• COREX mesh pods included. Vaporesso's COREX heating technology heats faster and pulls cleaner flavour than the original XROS coils. Pods last longer too, roughly a third more than pre-COREX versions.

• 0.6 and 1.0-ohm pods in the box. Two styles from day one. Tight MTL for nic salt with the 1.0. Warmer, airier RDTL with the 0.6. Try both and keep whichever suits you.

• Draw or button, both work. Inhale to auto-fire, or press the button for manual control. No setup needed to switch between modes.

• Every XROS pod still fits. 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2 ohm all click in. The 0.4-ohm pod does not fit the XROS 3, but everything else from the XROS family works.

Vaporesso XROS 3 Vape Kit Features

COREX Mesh Heating Technology

Vaporesso redesigned the mesh grid pattern for the XROS 3. Heats faster, distributes heat more evenly, and the upgraded cotton inside the pod wicks more efficiently. In practice, that means sharper flavour from the first puff and a coil that holds up longer before the taste starts dropping off.

Adjustable Airflow Slider

A slider on the side of the device controls how tight or loose the draw feels. This replaced the XROS 2's Water Drop inlet, and the difference is noticeable: smoother movement, finer control, and no sticky resistance halfway through the range. Worth experimenting with when swapping between the 0.6 and 1.0-ohm pods.

AXON Chipset with Pulse Mode

Pulse Mode does the same thing here as on the XROS 2 and 4: it keeps power output steady as the battery drops so the last 20% does not taste weaker than the first 20%. The AXON chip also handles safety protections and auto-detects which pod you have inserted.

Neon LED Battery Indicator

A coloured LED strip at the base glows green above 70%, blue between 30 and 70%, and red below 30%. It phases through colours during each draw, which is a visual touch but also serves as a live status check. No display, no numbers, just a quick colour glance.

Textured Grip Panel

One side of the XROS 3 has a textured panel for grip. The other side is smooth. Feels more secure in the hand than the fully smooth XROS 2 body, especially when you are adjusting the airflow slider with your thumb at the same time.

How to Set Up the Vaporesso XROS 3 Vape Kit

1. Charge. Plug in the included USB-C cable. About an hour from flat to full. The neon LED strip shows charging progress.

2. Pick your pod. The 0.6-ohm comes pre-installed on most colour options. The 1.0-ohm sits in the box. Start with whichever suits your vaping style.

3. Fill. Pop the mouthpiece off the pod. Squeeze your nic salt or 50/50 liquid through the fill port up to the line. Snap the mouthpiece back on firmly.

4. Prime. Leave the pod upright in the device for five to ten minutes. The COREX cotton needs to soak before your first draw.

5. Set airflow. Slide the control on the side until the draw resistance feels right. Closed down for MTL. Open up for RDTL.

6. Vape. Inhale to draw-activate, or press the button to fire manually. Both work from the start.

What's in the Vaporesso XROS 3 Vape Kit Box

Inside: 

• The XROS 3 device (1000mAh battery, AXON chip, neon LED)

• A USB-C cable, user manual, and warranty card. 

• Two COREX mesh pods ship with it: 0.6-ohm (often pre-installed) and 1.0-ohm (in the box). Both are 2ml, top-fill, SSS leak-resistant. 

E-liquid is not included. Browse nic salt e-liquids at Pirate Vapes to find your first fill.

The Perfect Fit for XROS Replacement Pods

The XROS 3 accepts 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, and 1.2-ohm XROS pods. The 0.4-ohm pod does not fit (that needs the XROS Pro, XROS 4, or XROS 5 range). 

All COREX versions work: original, COREX 2.0, and COREX 3.0. If you upgrade to the XROS 4 later, every pod you bought for the XROS 3 clicks straight into the new device. Pick up XROS replacement pods at Pirate Vapes in your preferred resistance.

About Vaporesso

Vaporesso launched in 2015, and the XROS family is the product range that carried their name across the UK. The XROS 3 sits in the middle of the lineup: more refined than the XROS 2, simpler than the XROS 4. 

Vaporesso's approach to the XROS range is deliberate: one pod format across every device, so upgrading never means starting from scratch. COREX mesh technology is developed in-house, and each generation has tightened flavour accuracy and extended pod life. Browse the full Vaporesso Vapes collection at Pirate Vapes.

Stock Up and Save

XROS pods last one to two weeks each. Keeping a spare pack in the drawer means you never go without. At Pirate Vapes, every product we sell is TPD compliant and MHRA-registered. We do not cut corners on compliance, and we do not stock grey-market pods. 

If you message us with a question or a problem, we reply within a few hours, not a few days. Crew Rewards builds on every order you place, and Auto Refill ships your pods on schedule with a discount baked in.

Conclusion

The XROS 3 is the XROS for people who want a better experience than the 2 but do not need the screens and modes of the 4. Smoother airflow, COREX mesh pods, and two resistances in the box. Fill with any nic salt, adjust the slider, and vape. The AXON chip handles the rest. 

If you already own XROS pods, they click straight in. If you upgrade later, everything carries forward. Pick one up from Pirate Vapes and pair it with your favourite nic salt from our Refillable Pod Kits collection.

FAQs

What is the difference between the XROS 3 and the XROS 2? 

Better airflow slider, COREX mesh pods, different included resistances (0.6 and 1.0 instead of 0.8 and 1.2), and a neon LED battery strip instead of a plain indicator. Same 1000mAh battery, same pod compatibility.

What is the difference between the XROS 3 and the XROS 4? 

The XROS 4 adds an OLED display, three power output modes, COREX 2.0 pods, 0.4-ohm pod support, and 30-minute fast charging. The XROS 3 has none of those. If you want simplicity, the 3 is the better fit. If you want control, the 4 is worth the step up.

Which pod should I start with? 

The 1.0-ohm if you prefer tight MTL with nic salt. The 0.6-ohm if you want a warmer, slightly airier draw. Most daily MTL vapers end up trying the 0.8-ohm as well (sold separately), which sits right between the two.

Does it come with e-liquid?

You fill the pod with your own nic salt or 50/50 e-liquid. The pod is refillable through the top-fill port.

How long does the battery actually last? 

Vaporesso rates it at up to 48 hours on a full charge under typical use. Most daily MTL vapers get a full day comfortably, and lighter users can stretch to two days before needing the USB-C cable.
