XROS Pro 2 Review: Bigger Battery, Smoother Hits – But Is It Worth the Upgrade?
When the Vaporesso XROS Pro 2 showed up claiming a beefier battery, silkier airflow, flashier display, and supercharged charging… I was skeptical.
Is it a real leap forward, or just another paint job with a fancy name?
I spent a full week running it through its paces, switching pods, rotating e-liquids, and dialing in the airflow until my fingertips practically fused to the thing.
Here’s what I found.

Build & Design
Weighing just 65g, the XROS Pro 2 is 21g lighter than its predecessor, which is amazing considering the battery size has increased by 67%. The shell is constructed of magnesium alloy, which is the lightest commercially available metal and often used in aerospace applications. The kit feels compact, durable and incredibly lightweight in the hand - this is a solid vape you can take anywhere.
The new airflow slider is located on the rear of the device, allowing for easy adjustment with your thumb. It feels smooth and precise, offering a noticeable range between tight MTL and loose RDL draws.
Everything feels well crafted, from the tactile fire button to the seamless screen integration.
Display
A hidden 0.96” TFT display sits flush within the body, only visible when the device is on. It’s bright, crisp, and features six custom themes, if you want to add a bit of personality.
Quick Controls
1 Click: Fire
2 Clicks: Theme selection
3 Clicks: Power adjustment
4 Clicks: Settings
5 Clicks: Power on/off
Both the screen and fire button can be locked in the settings, so you won’t accidentally activate it in your pocket.
You can use three power presets on the 0.6ohm - 1.2ohm pods:
Power: Boosts vapour and flavour, burt will drain the battery faster.
Normal: A good balance between flavour and charge.
Eco: Favours the battery, great for getting the most out of your battery.
Battery, Charging & Performance
The 2000mAh Mega Battery (Vaporesso, not me) is the standout feature, roughly 33% bigger than most competitors in this range.
The 2A Type-C charging gets to 80% in just 30 minutes, and the live remaining charge time counter is surprisingly handy, removing the guesswork and giving me a solid window in which to plan what I’ll do next.
In my testing, I found a 30 minute charge got me more than a day and a half of use. I consider myself a chain vaper (I vape at my desk), so getting more than a day’s worth of use from a pod kit this compact and lightweight is really impressive.
A standard feature of most Vaporesso vapes is the Axon Chipset, the brain behind your Power Presets and auto-draw function, but the Xros Pro 2 also includes Super Pulse Mode, which keeps your power output stable from full battery to nearly empty.
Why should you care? Well it means that your flavour and vapour quality won’t drop off a cliff as your battery runs out of charge. The consistent power output is also kinder to your coils too.
If you’re into tracking your usage, they’ve included Smart Puff Monitoring which lets you track your puff count on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Not something I use, but it’s insightful if you’re health curious or trying to cut down.
Vaporesso XROS Pro 2 - 0.4ohm Mesh Coil
The 0.4Ω pod is preinstalled and takes the most advantage of the 35W power output - letting you adjust your wattage in 0.5 increments, instead of using the presets. It's made for vaping 70%VG e-liquid and on testing with a high VG shortfill, this coil gives a warm, full-bodied RDL draw with plenty of vapour. The flavour is superb and cranked up to the full 35W gives you rich depth and subtlety, as well heaps of saturated sweetness.
Even with the airflow fully opened, there is a slight tightness to the draw that prevents it from being a full Direct to Lung vape.
Vaporesso XROS Pro 2 - 0.6ohm Mesh Coil
This is your spare pod and it's perfect for flavour rich bar salts, nic salts and 50/50 blends, providing an airy MTL (mouth to lung) draw. Open the airflow fully and you can enjoy a restricted direct lung (RDL) vape, but if you want something that feels more like a cigarette or disposable, then you can tighten things up by closing the airflow slightly or buying one of the higher resistance pods like the 0.8ohm or 1.0ohm.

Pros and Cons
Superb flavour from both pods
Best battery life in a pod kit and quick charging
Real-time charge timer
Smart power presets
Compatible with all XROS pods
High build quality
Ultra lightweight
Cons
Incremental power adjustment only works on 0.4Ω pod
Display isn’t as impressive as other kits in this tier
My Verdict
The Vaporesso XROS Pro 2 pod kit is a huge evolution in vape battery technology - fitting a 2000mAh battery in a 65g kit is amazing. Combined with 30 minute fast charging and the ‘time to full charge’ counter, are decent enough quality of life improvements to warrant an upgrade.
Super Pulse Mode improves the day to day vape experience, while the Corex 3.0 pods offer minor flavour enhancements. It’s just a pity that Vaporesso doesn't allow full wattage control on coils other than the 0.4ohm, and the display, whilst seamless, feels a little behind the times.
I really like the design and build of the XROS Pro 2. It’s lightweight and durable, a dependable everyday vape that travels well, lasting you ages on a single charge. Battery is a big deal for me and I’m fine with just the presets, so this is definitely one I’ll be keeping hold of.
