Vaporesso Xros 2 review: quick verdict and who it suits
The Xros 2 is a compact aluminium alloy pod kit aimed at beginners and people moving away from cigarettes. The listing gives a 112 by 23 by 13mm body, a built-in 1000mAh battery with Type-C charging, an LED halo indicator and SSS leak-resistant technology.
It comes with a pre-installed 1.2 ohm coil pod and supports a 0.8 ohm mesh pod, so you can start with a tight mouth-to-lung draw and move to a warmer one later.
Who should buy it
Buy it if you want a simple, lightweight MTL kit with a choice of draw-activated or button firing, adjustable airflow and a top-fill pod that is easy to refill.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you want a sub-ohm tank or high power. The Vaporesso Target 200 is the better match. If you want the smallest option, see the Xros Mini.
Specifications and what is in the listing
The listing gives these details. Dimensions are 112 by 23 by 13mm, the battery is 1000mAh rechargeable and the output range is 11W to 16W. The body is aluminium alloy, firing is draw-activated or button-activated and four breathing LED lights show status. Airflow is adjustable, the pod holds 2ml and the pod types are a 0.8 ohm mesh pod and a 1.2 ohm regular pod. Filling is top-fill under the mouthpiece cover, the pod connection is magnetic and charging is Type-C.
The listing lists six colours, but it also describes each colour as a flavour, which is a copy error: the kit has no flavour. Choose a colour on looks only. It does not publish battery life or pod lifetime, so we do not give figures.
Vaporesso Xros 2 review: firing modes, airflow and leak resistance
Draw-activated firing means you simply inhale, which feels closest to a cigarette, while the button gives tactile control for people who prefer it. Having both in one device suits anyone still deciding which style they like.
The adjustable airflow switch lets you tighten or loosen the MTL draw. The listing names SSS leak-resistant technology and a top-fill system, which are aimed at keeping refills clean. No design removes leaks entirely, so do not overfill and wipe the pod base before fitting.
Which pod should you use?
The 1.2 ohm pod gives the tighter, cooler draw that suits nicotine salts. The 0.8 ohm mesh pod gives a warmer draw with more flavour. Prime each new pod for a few minutes, and see our guide to choosing replacement coils and pods for the other checks.
Pods and everyday use
Pods are the part you will replace most often. The listing says pods are easily replaceable, and the Vaporesso XROS pods we stock come in five resistances. Check the pod generation before you buy, as the listing does not name which XROS devices each pod fits.
At 112mm long and 1000mAh, the kit is light enough for a pocket. The 11W to 16W range is modest, so it is a flavour-and-convenience device, not a cloud device.
How it compares with other Vaporesso kits
The table compares three Vaporesso kits we list, using only figures from their listings.
| Kit | Battery | Output | Pod or tank | Price (AED) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vaporesso Xros 2 (this review) | 1000mAh | 11-16W | 2ml pod, 1.2 ohm fitted, 0.8 ohm mesh supported | 100 |
| Vaporesso Xros Mini | 1000mAh | 11-16W | 2ml pod, 1.2 ohm fitted, 0.8 ohm mesh sold separately | 90 |
| Vaporesso Target 200 | Dual 18650 (not included) | 200W (per product name) | iTank with GTi coils | 280 |

UAE rules, nicotine strength and safe use
Electronic nicotine products sold in the UAE fall under a national standard, which you can read about on the MOIAT website. The kit does not contain nicotine. You fill the pod with e-liquid you buy separately, so check that your liquid is sold legally in the UAE and read its label. Rules can change, so confirm current limits with MOIAT rather than relying on any blog post.
The NHS says vaping is less harmful than smoking but not risk-free, and that it is not for people who do not smoke or for children. We sell only to adults aged 18 and over. Keep devices, pods, coils and liquids away from children and pets.
This post is general product information, not medical or legal advice, and we make no claim that vaping helps anyone quit smoking.
Price, delivery and final verdict
At the time of writing, the Vaporesso Xros 2 kit is listed at AED 100. Replacement pods are listed under vape pods and coils.
Our verdict: an easy, lightweight starter kit with two firing modes and adjustable airflow, held back by a modest power range and a product page that needs a copy fix. That is the bottom line of this Vaporesso Xros 2 review.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Draw and button firing | Only 11-16W |
| Adjustable airflow, top-fill pod | Listing mislabels colours as flavours |
| Light aluminium alloy body | No battery life published |
| Type-C charging with LED halo | Pod fit for other XROS models not stated |
| Mesh pod option for more flavour | Pods are replaced whole |
