OXBAR G8000 DISPOSABLES(GET FLAVOR, GET HAPPY) review by hittman

Hello. I am here today with another new line of disposables from Oxbar. I was sent three samples of the G8000 by Oxbar to provide you with a fair and honest review. The G8000 is pre-filled with 16ml of 5% nicotine (50mg) for a puff rating of 8000 puffs. I’m not going to sit and write down my puffs so I’ll have to take their word for it. The G8000 uses a 1.2 ohm mesh coil to deliver very good flavor and is of course rechargeable since it uses a 650mah internal battery. I’m not used to 50mg so have had to use these a little at a time but will do my best to give you a fair analysis of the flavors and vapor production. There are three versions of the G8000 listed on the website which are Classic, Gradient, and Deluxe. There are 17 flavors listed as of the time I am writing this but wouldn’t be surprised to see more.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
1EA OXBAR G8000
1EA LANYARD
SPECIFICATIONS:
• Prefilled Capacity: 16mL
• Battery Capacity: 650mAh
• Max Puffs: 8000 Puffs
• Nicotine Strength: 5% (50mg)
• Operation: Draw-Activated
• Heating Element: 1.2ohm Mesh Coil
• Charging: Type-C Port
FEATURES:
INITIAL THOUGHTS:
The packaging for these is very colorful and catches your eye. Like most disposables, the packaging is fairly simple but I have to admit that I was surprised that they included a lanyard with each unit. I’m not a lanyard user but was surprised they included one due to the added cost to each unit.
The front of the box has the Oxbar and G8000 names printed along with the flavor name of the version inside the box. Also on the front is a list of the features and a large warning on the bottom. The back side contains the contents list which is just the device itself and a lanyard. No charging cable is included despite the G8000 being rechargeable. It has to be with only a 650mah battery and a puff rating of 8000 puffs. I do like that they include an ingredients list on the box. The sides of the box have a QR code, company information, and batch number.
Once opened, inside the G8000 is sealed inside of a plastic bag which is easily torn open. After the device is opened then you will find a rubber plug in the mouthpiece which seals it from any contaminants and there is a white sticker covering the base of the device to protect it from accidental firing. Both of these must be removed before the G8000 can be used. I normally plug in any new device to make sure I have a full charge to start. In the second picture below you can see that there is a place to connect the lanyard. I’m not a fan of them but there is one included.
Oxbar was nice enough to send three samples for my review. I received the Cool Mint, Double Apple, and Rainbow Skittles. All three are labeled as 5% nicotine which in our world relates to 50mg. I would not recommend chain vaping one of these unless you have a high tolerance for nicotine.
The G8000 is made of PC and weighs in at 72g. The pre-filled liquid is said to be 16ml and has a puff rating of 8000 puffs. That’s a lot of puffs. There isn’t really a practical way for me to do a puff count so will take them at their word. The main body of the G8000 is clear and there is what I would call a color bladder inside which holds the liquid and the 1.2 ohm mesh coil. I haven’t cut one apart so don’t really know how it is assembled inside. The Oxbar and G8000 names are printed on the front along with the flavor name. There isn’t any other branding on the G8000. Like most disposables, the G8000 is auto draw only.
The charging port and airflow inlet for the auto draw are located on the bottom of the device on the underneath side of the white plastic base. There is also a single LED light on the bottom to the right of the charging port that illuminates when charging or when taking a puff but it’s a little hard to see while holding it.
As I mentioned earlier, I received three samples for this review. I’m no flavor connoisseur but will try to give a brief description of each of the three flavors that I received.
COOL MINT: This was the first one that I opened to try. I tend to like mint flavors so thought this would be a good one to start with. I was very pleased with this one. It’s a nice semi sweet mint flavor and the menthol or cooling agent wasn’t too strong unless chain vaping.
RAINBOW SKITTLES: I tried this one second. I did get a bit of a fruit candy flavor. It is sweet but not overly so. I did feel like the menthol in this one was unnecessarily strong and to me it masked the candy flavor that might have been quite good without the menthol.
DOUBLE APPLE: In almost 14 years of vaping I’ve never been able to vape any kind of apple flavor or any period of time. I could take a few puffs at a time but quickly got tired of it. The apple flavor in this one was really pleasant. To me it tastes like a sour green apple. I quite liked this one and could even pick up on the sour taste in it. It does contain some menthol but about the same level as the Cool Mint but it wasn’t over powering. I personally could have done with a little less cooling but it wasn’t bad.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
The Oxbar G8000 has been one of the better disposables that I have tried. I would say that I’ve probably tested 6-8 different brands/types of disposables. I’m not normally a disposable user but can see where they can be a good tool for smokers looking to quit. The simplicity of operation along with good flavors could possibly help smokers make the switch to vaping.
The battery management seemed good despite only being a 650mah battery. However that combined with a higher resistance 1.2 ohm mesh coil allows the battery to last quite a while. I found the flavors fairly pleasant and if I was going to pick one out of the three I received as a favorite then I would pick the Cool Mint for my tastes. If you have read any of my other disposable reviews then you know that I constantly complain about too much menthol in most of them. Besides the Rainbow Skittles, the other two weren’t too bad but would have liked to try the Double Apple flavor without menthol. I just don’t understand why disposable manufacturers think that every flavor needs a strong menthol added. Menthol is fitting with some flavors but not all. In some devices that I’ve tested, the menthol actually masks the flavor instead of enhancing it and felt like that was the case with the Rainbow Skittles.
Overall I enjoyed testing the Oxbar G8000 samples and would like to thank Oxbar and Lina for arranging the samples for my review. Thanks as always to the readers. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to read my reviews. Below is a link to the website for your viewing pleasure.

Bench Test Results: LG M50T - 14.6A 5014mAh 21700

These tests below only note my personal ESTIMATED ratings for the batteries I tested at the time I tested them. Any battery that is not a genuine Samsung, Sony, Murata, LG, Panasonic, Molicel, or Sanyo can change at any time! This can be one of the hazards of using “rewrapped” or batteries from other manufacturers so carefully research any battery you are considering using before purchasing.
Misusing or mishandling lithium-ion batteries can pose a SERIOUS RISK of property damage, personal injury, or even death. Never use them outside of a fully protected battery pack and you use them at your own risk. Never exceed the battery’s true continuous discharge rating (CDR), never let it get colder than 0°C or hotter than 60°C, and keep the plastic wrap and top insulating ring in perfect condition. Never use a battery that is physically damaged in any way.
Testing batteries at their limits is dangerous and should never be attempted by anyone who has not thoroughly studied the dangers involved, understands the risks, has the proper equipment, and takes all appropriate safety precautions.
If the battery has only one current rating number, or if it only says "max", then I have to assume the battery is rated at that current level for any type of discharge, including continuous.
Test Results
This cell can easily be confused with the M50LT but it doesn’t perform as well as the M50LT. The Samsung 50S, Samsung 50E2, Molicel M50A, and Tesla Model 3 ultra-high capacity cells also perform better.
This is not a crappy cell though! It’s still a decent performer, just not as good as the best ultra-high capacity cells. If you could find M50T’s at a low price they might be worth considering.
This cell has a 14.55A rating for up to 25°C but the rating drops to 7.275A above 25°C ambient temperature, up to a max 55°C. For many uses that makes this a 7.275A cell since it will be used in a small space or battery pack where the heat will be trapped. I recommend staying below 7A or so to minimize voltage sag and extend cell life.
The cells I tested delivered 4891mAh and 4894mAh. This is fantastic consistency but it’s below this cell’s rated capacity of 5014mAh. I’m rating them at 4900mAh since both cells are so close to that.

OXVA XLIM PRO POD KIT (STRONGER, BETTER, HAPPIER) review by hittman
- By hittman
- Device Reviews

Hello folks. It’s been a while since I last reviewed anything for Oxva but here I am with their latest release. This time I will be taking a look at the Xlim Pro Pod kit. You may or may not have seen my prior reviews on other kits in the Xlim series. To me this one is much like the Xlim V2 but has added some new features. It has a 1000mah internal battery with a charging rate of 5V/2A. The included cartridges are .6 and .8 ohm but have been redesigned with what they are calling a top fill. I’ll talk more about that later. Also added to the Pro version is an RGB light bar and it has a .42” OLED display much like the V2. Of course there are some different colors of which I received the Gleamy Gray which I find very attractive.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:
The packaging for the Xlim Pro is nice but simple. The front has a clear viewing window which I very much like. The Xlim Pro and Oxva names are printed in large text on the top and bottom. The version name and liquid capacity are listed in the upper right corner. In the middle is the statement “X-Treme Flavor” and they let you know that the cartridges are “Top Fill” and that there is a lanyard included. It’s a little more information than I’m used to seeing on the front of a sample box. The back side has the usual contents list, a statement giving some of the features and the company information on the bottom.
Once opened, the Xlim Pro device is found sitting in a white foam insert and a box sits to the right containing the spare .8 ohm cartridge, lanyard, charging cable, and user manual. I have to say that I really love the silver to black gradient effect on the mod. I know it looks pretty shiny in the picture below but does not show fingerprints for the most part. The OXVA logo is tastefully done near the bottom of the front side which also holds the display that I’ll cover in more detail later.
On the right side of the Pro is where the airflow adjustment is located. There are three holes with the top one being a little larger than the bottom two. There is a small knob that protrudes slightly to allow the user to comfortable adjust the airflow. It is a little stiff to prevent accidental adjustment when taking in and out of a pocket but not so stiff as to make it difficult to adjust.
The left side is where you will find the fire/adjustment button. The Pro can be activated by pressing the button or by using it in auto draw mode. The button can be locked so that it operates in auto draw mode only which I happen to prefer. To me the button placement is a little awkward due to the location. The button also is used to adjust the wattage and a few other functions that I will list out for you when I cover the display.
The USB-C charging port is rated at 5V/2A which is great and will allow the user to charge in about 30 minutes if you have the proper charging block. On the Pro, the charging port is located on the bottom of the device.
The pod opening on the Pro is pretty standard. There is a magnet on each outside edge that meets up with the magnets on the pods. Inside that are the two spring loaded contacts to power the coil and closer to the center is the raised airflow sensor for the auto draw. The large opening in the upper right hand corner leads down to the airflow adjuster located on the side of the Pro.
The .42” OLED display is clear and easily readable. It was a little difficult to get the pictures taken because it happens so fast but wanted to show you the screens it displays when you turn it on. I just thought they were kind of neat.
The display once turned on shows the following information.
The pods that come with the Pro are rated at .6 and .8 ohms. They are sealed pods and the coils are not replaceable. Oxva has basically taken the V2 pod and moved the fill port to the top side of the pod and are thus calling it a top fill. In my opinion this isn’t a true top fill. To me a top fill is where you can keep the device vertical and remove the mouthpiece to fill the pod. It is good that you no longer have to remove the pod to fill but to me it’s a bit awkward to fill and with the tinted pod it’s a little hard to see while filling if you are using a clear liquid like I was during testing. I would definitely keep a paper towel handy to wipe of the mouthpiece after filling.
The .6 ohm pod comes pre-installed and does have a safety seal over the contacts in order to prevent firing before filling the pod. It’s recommended to wait 5-8 minutes after filling before taking the first puff. Both pods have two magnets that hold them securely into the Pro as well as the two contacts and two fairly large airflow inlet holes.
Like I mentioned earlier, the bottom side fill port has been moved on to the upper side of the pod. I understand that they wanted to make a top fill pod but feel like it would have taken a full redesign to do it properly. Due to the shape of the pod it wasn’t practical to have a removable mouthpiece for top filling. I still have to hold the device at an angle when filling and need adequate light to see the liquid level while filling with the difference being that I don’t have to remove the pod in order to fill it in comparison of the prior versions of this pod. It is good that it is compatible with all of the Xlim pod devices besides the Xlim C.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
I really enjoyed testing the new Oxva Xlim Pro. With the new added features of the “top fill” cartridges and light bar, I feel like there were enough changes to justify a new version of the Xlim. I understand that they tried to keep the cartridges the same so they would be cross compatible with other Xlim devices but feel like at some point that a redesign needs to happen in order to produce what I consider to be a real top fill cartridge without a rubber plug.
I started out by testing the .6 ohm cartridge. I decided to go with a guava green tea recipe that I like very much. The Xlim sensed the cartridge resistance and gave a preset wattage which I turned down to 20 watts. Even at that the vapor was a little warm at first for me even with the airflow control wide open. Once the coil was broken in then it leveled out and was very enjoyable with very good flavor and vapor production. At around 330 puffs the battery indicator was still blue but could tell the battery was getting weak so recharged and switched out to the .8 ohm pod.
The .8 ohm pod also produced very good flavor and vapor. The Pro recognized the resistance and preset the wattage to 16 watts. I was very comfortable with this setting and continued to use this pod the entire time at that setting. I feel like the battery management was very good with both pods and got more puffs on the counter than I thought I would. I was able to do anywhere from an RDL to a tight MTL with either pod.
I’d like to thank Oxva and Jade for sending the Xlim Pro Pod Kit for this review. I really enjoyed this one and would recommend it to others looking for a multi feature pod device. Thanks as always to the readers. I appreciate you taking the time to check out my reviews. Below is a link to the Oxva website for your viewing pleasure.

The display once turned on shows the following information.
- Set wattage
- Battery level indicator
- Lock/Unlock symbol depending on if you have the button locked
- Coil Resistance
- Puff counter
- Press the button 5X to turn the Pro on/off
- Press the button 3X and the display will flash. Once it is flashing you can press or hold the button to change the wattage setting.
- Press the button 4X to lock/unlock the fire button
- Press the button 2X to adjust the lighting affect. There are three modes. Default is the scrolling RGB display, next it just shows the battery level in one of three solid colors, or you can turn it off.
- Press the button 7X to reset the puff counter
