Vaporesso XROS 2 (Xrose) Review: Still Worth Buying?
Aug
If you’ve seen this device listed as “Xrose 2” while searching, that’s actually a common misspelling of its real name, the Vaporesso XROS 2. Whichever spelling brought you here, here’s an honest look at what this pod kit offers and whether it still holds up.
Quick Specs
- Battery: 800mAh
- Cartridge capacity: 2mL
- Charging: Type-C, 5V/1A
- Pod resistance: 0.8Ω and 1.2Ω mesh (both included)
- Max output: 20W
- Fill style: Clamshell top-fill
- Firing: Dual, button or draw-activated
What You Get in the Box
The kit comes with the XROS 2 battery, one 0.8Ω pod, one 1.2Ω pod, a Type-C charging cable, and the usual manual and warranty card. Having both resistances included from the start is a nice touch, since it means you can test which draw suits you without buying pods separately on day one.
How It Performs
This is a mouth-to-lung device through and through, built for nicotine salts rather than sub-ohm clouds. The 0.8Ω pod gives a slightly airier, warmer draw, while the 1.2Ω pod tightens things up for a closer cigarette-like pull. Adjustable airflow means you can fine-tune either pod rather than being locked into one draw style.
At 20W max output, it’s not a powerhouse, but that’s the point. This device is built for all-day MTL vaping, not cloud chasing, and it does that job well.
Battery Life in Practice
800mAh is on the smaller side compared to newer XROS models like the XROS 4 or XROS Pro 2, which push well past 1000mAh. For light to moderate daily use, it’ll comfortably last a full day. Heavier vapers will likely need a midday top-up, though the Type-C charging means that’s a quick fix rather than a long wait.
Is It Still Worth Buying?
Vaporesso has released several newer XROS models since this one, but that doesn’t make the XROS 2 obsolete. It’s simpler, smaller, and generally more affordable than the newer entries in the lineup, which makes it a solid pick if you want reliable MTL performance without paying for features like larger batteries or hidden displays that heavier users chase. If battery life is your top priority, a newer model in the range is worth considering instead.
Who This Suits Best
- Vapers who want a compact, no-fuss MTL pod kit
- Anyone switching from cigarettes who wants a tight, familiar draw
- Light to moderate daily vapers who don’t need an all-day battery
- Buyers on a tighter budget compared to newer XROS models
