The OXVA Xlim Pro 3 Pod System Kit 1500mAh is the latest flagship addition to the Xlim lineup, and it brings one of the most refined user experiences OXVA has ever offered. Designed with the new Photon Chip, a brighter HD display, precise airflow control, and full compatibility with every Xlim and EZ pod, the Pro 3 feels like a polished, thoughtful step forward rather than just another incremental upgrade.
With a robust 1500mAh battery, adjustable 5–30W output, and a generous 3ml top-fill cartridge, the Xlim Pro 3 aims to satisfy both flavor-focused MTL users and cloud-curious RDL vapers. After spending several days using it as my main device, I can confidently say: this is OXVA at its best.
First Impressions
The moment I unboxed the Xlim Pro 3, it felt premium. The Zinc Alloy body gives it a sturdy, high-end weight, yet the rounded edges make it surprisingly comfortable to hold.
A standout improvement is the vibrant 1.05-inch HD color screen. It’s crisp, bright, and gives the Pro 3 a “mini mod” feel rather than a typical pod system. Every detail—battery percentage, wattage, coil resistance, puff timer—is displayed clearly.
The tactile fire button, redesigned airflow slider, and tight pod connection instantly gave me the impression that this device is built to last.

Performance
Here’s where the Photon Chip truly shows its value.
Flavor & Vapor
Flavor delivery is dense, accurate, and smooth—noticeably improved from previous Xlim Pro generations. The Photon Chip balances wattage and coil resistance intelligently, resulting in consistently saturated, stable vapor.
Battery Life
With the 1500mAh battery:
-
1.2Ω coil lasted nearly two full days,
-
0.8Ω coil made it through a heavy day of vaping,
-
0.6Ω and 0.4Ω coils drain faster but provide the best RDL performance.
Fast charging is a big advantage—80% in 30 minutes is extremely convenient.
Power Consistency
From 10W MTL to 30W RDL, the power output is smooth, with no strange spikes or drop-offs.
Overall, the performance feels refined and reliable.
Coil Compatibility and Performance
The Xlim Pro 3’s biggest strength is compatibility:
Works with ALL OXVA Xlim Pods:
