► Vaporesso Xros 3 & Xros 3 Mini; First Impressions:
The Xros family expands with two renewed kits; one has the dual activation mode and adjustable afc and is XROS 3, the other has a fixed regulation of the air passage with the only automatic activation mode of the puff and this is XROS 3 Mini which is more suitable for beginners. These are two extremely portable Pod devices with compact dimensions and identical 1,000mAh battery. XROS 3 weighs 4 grams more, and is slightly taller than Xros 3 mini. Although these are two entry-level devices both seem well made and well finished, but this is to be expected from a manufacturer like Vaporesso which since its foundation in 2006 has been appreciated in over 60 countries and regions around the world by establishing substantial leadership of the brand in Europe, America and emerging markets.
► Vaporesso Xros 3 & Xros 3 Mini; How they are made:
In the image below you can see the slight dimensional difference between XROS 3 and XROS 3 MINI, this difference is due to the fact that the internal mechanics of XROS 3 include the power key which is slightly more bulky, while XROS 3 MINI with the only automatic mode has smaller internal mechanics, so its body size is also smaller. With XROS 3 you can turn on / off the device with 5 quick clicks on the button, vape indifferently with the help of the button or automatically. While with XROS 3 MINI you can vape directly and without the aid of any buttons.
► Vaporesso Xros 3 & Xros 3 Mini; Operation Guide:
* Both devices use an LED indicator to check operation and to identify their charge level as follows:
• Green LED the battery charge level is between 70 and 100%
• Blue Led the battery charge level is between 30 and 70%
• Red LED the battery charge level is between 0 and 30%
* Both devices have the following safety protections:
• Cut-off protection
• Overload protection
• Short circuit protection
• Low voltage protection
• Open circuit protection
• Overload protection
• Resistance protection
• Overvoltage protection
► Vaporesso Xros 3 & Xros 3 Mini; AXON CHIP:
I think they will both work well, also because Vaporesso's famous Pulse Mode promises Top performance and taste. XROS 'extensive disposable pod platform includes solutions suitable for both restricted MTL use and loose MTL use. The chipset is also able to develop a high power for the best operation of the 0.6Ω cartridge included in both kits.
► Vaporesso Xros 3 & Xros 3 Mini; AFC:
In reality XROS 3 MINI does not have air flow regulation, the passage of air towards the coil occurs only through two small opposing holes which, among other things, are also present on XROS 3. These two holes allow an MTL extraction of restricted type on both KITs.
The true AFC system is additional and is therefore only present on XROS 3, the sliding button that adjusts the opening of the AFC if it is opened allows an additional inflow of air for very tasty RDL extractions, especially when they are combined with the 0.6Ω cartridge. With the AFC system closed, XROS 3 also takes the air through the two small fixed side holes and in this case the MTL extraction is equivalent between XROS 3 and XROS 3 MINI.
► Vaporesso Xros 3 & Xros 3 Mini; Above under:
The Cartridge compartment on Xros 3 & Xros 3 Mini features two magnets, two pins, ducted air ducts and a small sensor that creates the necessary vacuum for automatic shooting. The type-c charging socket is located on the bottom, always on the bottom there are the legal logos and the battery capacity which is 1,000mAh.
► Vaporesso Xros 3 & Xros 3 Mini; XROS 3 Cartridges:
The disposable cartridge XROS 3 with its two magnets mirroring those present in the compartment / pod fits into the mod in a simple and stable way. In the XROS 3 kit there are two different cartridges, one of 0.6Ω and one of 1.0Ω. What I would have preferred is that XROS 3 Mini also had two cartridge options, but in the XROS 3 MINI kit there is only the 0.6Ω cartridge, this is very strange because XROS 3 MINI only works in MTL mode and the 1.0Ω cartridge it would no doubt have been more suitable.
The cartridge contains 2ml of e-liquid and is built in transparent PCTG, the special refill system called "shell pod opening" guarantees excellent sealing and speed in the refueling operation. The nozzle is comfortable for the lips and has an internal hole of about 2mm, the multilayer silicone inside the cartridge prevents leaks, furthermore, with the ultrasound processing of the airways, reliability and the correct supply of air towards the coil.
Another thing I really like about the XROS line is that the new cartridges are compatible with all previous XROS devices, so we have several choice options for cartridges.
► Vaporesso Xros 3 & Xros 3 Mini; Vaping test & final conclusions:
• Xross 3 Pod with 0.6Ω (2ml) mesh coil:
You will find this sub-ohm cartridge included in both kits both by purchasing XROS 3 and by purchasing XROS 3 Mini, but you will get maximum RDL performance only with XROS 3 which is equipped with the additional AFC system, the vapor clouds ( with open AFC) are dense and abundant, with an excellent flavor yield with creamy and fruity liquids. Unfortunately XROS MINI is less suitable to support the RDL vape, because the two small side holes of the fixed type are able to carry a restricted air flow and of the MTL type only. However if you are a lover of hot steam and the hit in the throat you will find the 0.6Ω pod paired with XROS MINI quite interesting.
• Xross 3 Pod with 1.0Ω (2ml) mesh coil:
Perfect for MTL, this mesh coil cartridge is excellent if used on XROS 3 with AFC fully closed, unfortunately it is not present in the XROS 3 MINI package, but I have tested it and it guarantees a very good narrow MTL vape even on the XROS 3 MINI , the steam is lukewarm and the taste is confirmed as good with creamy liquids.
Essential, practical and economical but also extremely robust, these are the Xros 3 and the Xros 3 Mini by Vaporesso. The AXON chip with pulsed mode guarantees performance that until recently was unthinkable with disposable pods like these. Plus, the 1,000mAh battery life is long and the charging time is short. Not having encountered any inconvenience, I can safely recommend Xros 3 & Xros 3 Mini because currently in their (mod + disposable Pod) category they are among the best entry-level kits on the market.
I would like to thank Danny from Vaporesso for providing me with the kits. I hope this review was useful for anyone looking to buy Xros 3 & Xros 3 Mini.
