XROS Pod Compatibility Chart: Which Pods Fit Your XROS

Every XROS device uses the same magnetic pod connector, and Vaporesso has used it since the first XROS in 2020. Most current device pages say it in plain words: the device “is compatible with the entire XROS pod series.”

Three things vary between XROS pods, and only one of them can affect fit:

• Resistance (0.4Ω, 0.6Ω, 0.8Ω, 1.0Ω or 1.2Ω). This is the one to check. The 0.4Ω pod is listed only for newer devices. Vaporesso also makes an older 0.7Ω pod; several manuals list it, but its pod page gives it no compatibility line, so it is left out of the chart.
• Coil generation (COREX 2.0 or COREX 3.0). Same connector, same fit.
• Capacity (2mL or 3mL). Same connector, same fit.

So the question to answer is simple: which resistance does your device take, and which draw do you want? Find your device in the chart, then pick a resistance with the guide further down. When you know what you need, shop Vaporesso XROS pods in 4-packs.

Devices are grouped by generation, roughly newest first, following Vaporesso’s own XROS list. Yes means Vaporesso lists that pod as compatible, either on the device’s product page or on its XROS Pods page, which lists the 0.6Ω to 1.2Ω pods as compatible with the entire XROS series. Not listed means Vaporesso does not list the 0.4Ω pod for that device, so we do not recommend it there. The last column shows how the device fires and how much control you get with each pod.

Reading about a specific device? Our reviews of the XROS 6, XROS 6 Mini, XROS 5 and XROS 5 Mini cover each one in depth.

The 0.4Ω pod is the loosest pod in the range. Vaporesso describes it as a restricted direct to lung (RDL) pod and lists 25W as its best wattage, more than any other XROS pod.

Listed as compatible: the XROS Pro, which Vaporesso calls the first XROS to feature a 0.4Ω pod, plus the XROS 4, XROS 4 Mini, XROS 4 Nano, XROS Pro 2, XROS 5, XROS 5 Mini, XROS 5 Nano, XROS 6 and XROS 6 Mini.

Excluded: the XROS MINI Retro. Vaporesso says it works with most XROS pods, “except 0.4Ω pods.”

Not listed: the original XROS, XROS 2, XROS Mini, XROS Nano, XROS Cube, XROS 3, XROS 3 Mini and XROS 3 Nano. None of their product pages or manuals mention the 0.4Ω pod, and the Cube’s page names 0.6Ω, 0.8Ω, 1.0Ω and 1.2Ω only. On these devices, the 0.6Ω pod gives the loosest draw Vaporesso lists.

Which devices let you set power with the 0.4Ω pod?

Fitting the pod and controlling it are two different things. With the 0.4Ω pod fitted, the XROS Pro, XROS Pro 2, XROS 4 Nano, XROS 5 and XROS 6 let you set power in 0.5W steps, and the XROS 5 Nano adjusts power from its touchscreen. With any other pod, those devices switch to preset modes instead. The draw-only Mini models list the 0.4Ω pod, but their manuals describe no power setting for it. The XROS 6 Mini’s product page does mention power adjustment with the 0.4Ω pod, while its manual only describes switching between Eco and Power with two gentle puffs.

You may see the XROS Pro 2 described on one Vaporesso store page as having an exclusive 0.4Ω pod. The Pro 2’s own product page kit list and official flyer name the standard XROS Series 0.4Ω mesh pod, the same pod the other 0.4Ω-capable devices use.

Since nearly every pod fits, the real decision is the draw you want. Lower resistance means a warmer, looser draw and more vapor. Higher resistance means a tighter, cooler draw and gentler vapor. The recommended power below is Vaporesso’s own best-wattage figure for each pod.

A simple way to choose:

• Coming from cigarettes and want a familiar, tight draw: start with the 1.0Ω or 1.2Ω pod and close the airflow down.
• Want a balanced everyday pod: the 0.8Ω suits 50/50 e-liquid and salts alike.
• Want a warmer, fuller draw: the 0.6Ω, with a 60/40 e-liquid.
• Want the loosest draw: the 0.4Ω, but only on a device from the chart that lists it.

Vaporesso’s own store guide gives the same rule of thumb: 50/50 e-liquid in the 0.8Ω and higher pods, and thicker 60/40 e-liquid in the 0.6Ω.

COREX is the name of the mesh coil built into current XROS pods. COREX 2.0 and COREX 3.0 are two generations of that coil, and both share the same XROS connector. The generation never changes which devices a pod fits. Resistance is the only thing that does.

According to Vaporesso, COREX 3.0 swaps the earlier MORPH-MESH structure for a new HIVE-MESH structure and, in the new 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω pods, changes the heating wire from nickel chrome to iron chrome aluminum. Vaporesso first launched COREX 3.0 in the 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω pods, and its newest device pages now say all XROS pods have been upgraded to it. You may still see COREX 2.0 pods for sale, and they fit exactly the same devices.

2mL and 3mL XROS pods use the same shell connector and fit the same devices. The only difference is how much e-liquid the pod holds.

• Why two sizes exist: Vaporesso explains that markets with tank-size limits, such as the UK and EU, get 2mL versions, and some US kits ship with 2mL pods too. A 2mL pod fits a device bought elsewhere, and the other way round.
• Some pods only come in 2mL: Vaporesso lists the 1.0Ω and 1.2Ω pods in 2mL only. The 0.4Ω, 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω pods come in both sizes.
• At Black Note: the 0.4Ω, 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω pods we carry are 3mL, and the 1.0Ω and 1.2Ω pods are 2mL.

1. Fill to about 90 percent

   Current XROS pods fill from the top, under the mouthpiece; some older pods fill from the side. Vaporesso advises stopping short of the brim, because the air gap helps prevent leaks.

2. Wait before the first puff

   Most Vaporesso manuals say to wait 5 minutes after filling a new pod so the coil can soak. The XROS 6 and XROS 6 Mini cut that to about a minute with Smart Prime, at 41°F (5°C) or warmer.

3. Set the airflow for your draw

   Most XROS devices have an airflow control. Close it down for a tighter mouth to lung draw, open it up for a looser one.

4. Replace the whole pod when it fades

   The coil is built into the pod, so there is no separate coil to change. Swap the pod when flavor turns burnt or flat or the vapor gets weaker. Vaporesso estimates 6 to 8 refills per pod, roughly one to two weeks, though your e-liquid and how much you vape change that.

The 1.0Ω and 1.2Ω pods deliver the low-power, mouth to lung draw that nicotine salts are made for, which makes them a natural match for Black Note salt nicotine, made with naturally extracted tobacco. For Black Note 50/50 tobacco e-liquids, the 0.8Ω pod is the usual pick, and the 1.0Ω and 1.2Ω pods work too.

For adults 21 and older only. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. This guide is educational and does not make medical or stopping-smoking claims. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your device and pods. Compatibility, power and capacity details were checked against Vaporesso’s official product pages, user manuals and pod listings on October 15, 2026. Where Vaporesso’s own pages disagree, we followed the device’s own product page and manual. Black Note did not bench-test the pods for this guide.
