Vaporesso sent this new XROS 4 Nano over for me to try out. They also, very kindly popped in a pack of 2ml 0.6ohm pods so I could try out all the options available.

I have had so many Vaporesso pods over the past four or five years, that I’ve lost count. I find that they always work very well, and I’m also always surprised by how much flavour and vapour they produce. I missed out on the main XROS 4 range, so it’s nice to be back trying out the Nano, which is usually my favourite of the XROS releases.

The XROS 4 Nano takes after the XROS Pro in that it allows you to use the 0.4ohm pods, and that’s a bonus for those of us who enjoy a nice RDL draw. It has a 1350mAh internal battery and goes up to 30W. There’s an airflow control to tailor the vape to your liking, and there’s a nice big 1.3” TFT screen on the front that boasts three different animations, along with nice big text to show the information on the screen.

In the box you get:

1 XROS 4 Nano Device
1 0.6ohm XROS Mesh Pod (2ml)
1 0.8ohm XROS Mesh Pod (2ml)
1 USB-C Cable
1 User Manual & Warranty Card
1 Lanyard

Note that the box contents I’ve listed is for the TPD version, and in the international edition that I was sent I received a 3ml 0.4ohm pod and a spare 0.8ohm pod. The device will work with any of the XROS pods available, so you can use any you already have or buy the ones you’d prefer.

Style wise, it’s the usual XROS nano shape, a square body but this time with nicely rounded edges that make it comfortable to hold. The main body is metal with plastic panels on the front and back that feel smooth and have a lovely matte finish. I particularly like the concave bottom that allows you to rest the kit on your pinky (or other fingers, depending on how you hold it) and it gives just that tiny bit more comfort. The version I got sent was the aquamarine one, but looking online I see there are several different designs to suit different people. I’m happy with the one I have though.

Charging is via a USB Type C charging port that charges at 2amps, so you’ll be back vaping quickly when you run out of power and need to charge up, the blurb says 30 mins, but I found it a touch longer. There is the usual teardrop shaped airflow hole that you can cover up (or not) with the slider beneath, and to top it off there’s a lanyard attachment on the top of the device to let it all hang loose.

Onto the functions, and it’s quite simple despite looking like it’s complicated. Five clicks turns it on, four to lock the screen, three to amend wattage or power setting, two to enter the menu, and hold once to fire the mod. The menu is really only for changing the theme, although you can also reset the puff counter as well. You can go between a universe animation, which is the Earth spinning, a motorcycle theme, which has a motorcycle coming in and doing a skid when you fire the device, and a flower that opens up when you hit the button. It’s all very pretty, and I do like it a lot. The menu also lets you turn the animations off so all you see when you fire the mod is the screen with the theme and all the info on it.

Now onto how it actually vapes. With the 0.4ohm pod in, you can change the wattage. It allows you to adjust from 15W to 30W so you can tailor how you want to vape on it. With the 0.4ohm, you get a good flavour and a nice amount of vapour. It’s great for reasonably restricted draw, and I am really enjoying being able to get that little bit more from a pod than I usually do. The suggested best wattage on the pod is 25W, I did find that to be good but just because I like to pretend to be different, I set it at 26W for most of my time with it. All the pods also have Vaporesso’s Corex 2.0 technology in them, which they claim makes them last longer and give better flavour. The 0.4ohm pod does have good flavour, and setting the wattage allowed me to find where my own juice sat best.

On the 0.6ohms and below pods, you can’t set the wattage, it just registers as normal when you pop it in, but you can set it to eco, normal, or power with three clicks of the fire button. I found the 0.6ohm pod made my fruity juice taste that tiny bit brighter than the 0.4ohm, and preferred it, but the difference is very slight, and I’d say the 0.4ohm would be a better choice for tobaccos and bakery as the flavour from that is slightly deeper. The 0.6ohm is also good for a nice cloudy and airy MTL as well if you use 70/30 juice in it.

The 0.8ohm pod is the standard workhorse where you can do restricted lung draws and it also gives a nice MTL draw. I preferred a lower VG/PG ratio juice for it as the flavour’s better for MTL, but you can still use higher ratios and it won’t get burny on you if you want to also RDL. One thing to note though is that the airflow is still relatively airy, even when fully closed, so those who want that super tight MTL might not be catered to here. It’s still tight enough for a good draw, but it’s not super tight, as I know some people prefer.

Final Thoughts

Vaporesso have gone for versatility here, as they did with their XROS Pro model. You can have a reasonably cloudy vape on the 0.4ohm pods or go with the other XROS pods available to RDL or MTL to your heart’s content.

The XROS 4 Nano is a lovely looking device with a nice big screen and some cool looking animations when you take a puff. It’s very much a premium pod device with a smooth draw on it and lots of pod options. I love that you can use the 0.4ohm pods in it because that’s more how I prefer to vape, but I am wondering why the TPD version only comes with the 0.6ohm and 0.8ohm packed in. Perhaps it’s to drive sales of the 0.4ohm pods, perhaps there’s more of a trend to MTL over here, but it’s puzzling that they’d release a device that you can adjust the wattage on and not allow new users to do that when they first buy it.

Thanks again to Vaporesso for sending me the Xros 4 Nano over to try out. It’s yet another great pod device that I’ll be using for a while yet.

Pros

You can adjust the wattage on the 0.4ohm pods
The flavour and vapour production is superb on all the Xros pods, as always
The animations when taking a draw are pretty cool and look good

Cons

No 0.4ohm pod packed in with the TPD edition
You get a tight MTL draw but it’s not super tight

I was a very militant smoker for many years…why would I stop doing the only thing I had left that I liked doing? Then I fell into vaping in 2017. My wife bought a cheap kit off from Amazon that stopped working and I took it to a local vape shop to see what they could do with it. An hour later and full of new knowledge about watts, ohms, and juice strength, I headed home with a new nautilus mini tank for her and raved to her about the helpful guy in the shop. I must have bored her with all my new found information. I tried her vape that night, and a week later bought my own kit. Then I found POTV and the amazingly helpful and generous people on it. A month later I was making my own (disgusting) vape juice, and a month after that I was winding coils for my new RDA. Six years on and I'm much better at making juice, and I now have no money but lots of shiny mods and tanks
