XLIM Flagship Pod Kit with Pulse System, HD Display, and Adjustable Wattage
The OXVA XLIM Pro 3 is the flagship of the XLIM series, built around OXVA's first Pulse System and intelligent Photon Chip. Where most pod kits deliver weaker hits as the battery drains, the XLIM Pro 3 maintains 80%+ flavour consistency even at 20% battery by using high-frequency pulse technology to stabilize output across the full charge cycle. A 1.05-inch HD colour display shows wattage, battery level, pod resistance, and puff count at a glance. Adjustable wattage from 5-30W, both draw and button activation, and full compatibility with every XLIM pod ever made (V2, V3, and EZ series) give you complete control over your vaping style. The 1500mAh battery charges to 80% in about 30 minutes via 2A USB-C, and the zinc alloy construction gives the device a premium, solid feel at just 77.4g.
Why Choose the OXVA XLIM Pro 3?
The defining upgrade in the XLIM Pro 3. The Photon Chip uses high-frequency pulse technology to deliver micro-pulses to the coil instead of a simple on/off power burst. The result is steady, balanced output from your first draw to your last, maintaining over 80% flavour consistency even when the battery drops to 20%. Most pod kits lose up to half their flavour intensity at low battery. The XLIM Pro 3 eliminates that drop-off entirely.
The largest screen in any XLIM device, 88% bigger than the XLIM Pro 2. The "All In View" layout shows wattage, battery percentage, pod resistance, puff count, and draw time on a single screen without cycling through menus. Bright enough to read in direct sunlight. You can also customize the display with multiple themes and light effects, including animated options.
Unlike draw-only pod kits that auto-set power, the XLIM Pro 3 lets you fine-tune wattage in 0.5W increments. The Photon Chip starts by auto-detecting your pod resistance and setting an optimal wattage, but you can manually adjust up or down to dial in your preferred warmth, throat hit, and vapour density. Three clicks of the fire button enters wattage adjustment mode.
The XLIM Pro 3 works with every XLIM pod series: V3 Top Fill, V2 Side Fill, and EZ Top Fill cartridges in 0.4Ω, 0.6Ω, 0.8Ω, and 1.2Ω resistances. If you already own any XLIM device, your existing pods work with the Pro 3 immediately. This cross-compatibility protects your investment and gives you more coil options than any competing pod platform.
The largest battery in any XLIM Pro device. Most reviewers report a full day to a day and a half of regular use before needing to recharge. The 5V/2A USB-C connection reaches 80% in approximately 30 minutes, so a quick top-up during a coffee break gets you through the rest of the day. OXVA rates the battery for up to 5 days of light use.
The XLIM Pro 3 uses a zinc alloy and PCTG construction that gives it a noticeably premium feel compared to polycarbonate pod kits. At 77.4g, it is heavier than the ultralight XLIM GO 2 (46g), but that weight translates directly into build quality and durability. Reviewers consistently note the fit and finish as best-in-class for a pod system.
How the Pulse System Works
Traditional pod kits deliver power in a simple on/off pattern: you inhale, the coil heats, you stop. As the battery depletes, the voltage drops and so does your flavour quality. By the time most devices hit 20-30% battery, the vape feels noticeably weaker.
The XLIM Pro 3's Pulse System takes a different approach. The Photon Chip sends rapid micro-pulses to the coil throughout each draw, maintaining a consistent heating profile from inhale to exhale and from full charge to nearly empty. This means the flavour you get at 20% battery is virtually the same as the flavour at 100%. Combined with UniTech 2.0 coil technology and the multi-layered cotton wicking in XLIM V3 pods, the result is stable, accurate flavour reproduction across the entire battery cycle.
Screen and Button Controls
The 1.05-inch HD display shows all essential information in a single view. No menu cycling is required for day-to-day use. The single fire button controls everything through a simple click system:
The display also supports customizable themes and light effects. If you prefer simplicity, you can lock the button and use auto-draw exclusively.

How to Set Up the OXVA XLIM Pro 3
Connect the included USB Type-C cable to the port at the bottom of the device. The screen will display charging progress. A full charge from empty takes under an hour, or about 30 minutes to reach 80%. You can use the device while it charges.
The 0.6Ω V3 pod comes pre-installed. Open the rubber stopper on top of the pod to access the fill port. Add your preferred nicotine salt or freebase e-liquid. Close the stopper and let it sit for 3-5 minutes so the UniTech 2.0 coil can fully saturate before your first draw.
Press the fire button 5 times quickly to turn on the device. The HD screen will display an animation and then show your current wattage, pod resistance, and battery level. The Photon Chip automatically detects your pod and sets an optimal wattage.
If you want to fine-tune the power, press the fire button 3 times to enter wattage adjustment mode. Each additional press increases the wattage by 0.5W, cycling from 5W up to 30W and then back to 5W. For the included 0.6Ω pod, 20-25W is the recommended range. For the 0.8Ω pod, try 12-18W.
The airflow slider is on the side of the device. Slide it closed for a tight mouth-to-lung draw or open for a looser restricted direct-lung pull. Start with the airflow partially closed if you are coming from cigarettes or disposables.
Simply inhale from the mouthpiece (auto-draw) or hold the fire button while inhaling (manual fire). The screen updates in real time to show your draw duration and current settings. To lock the button and prevent accidental changes, press it 4 times.
Frequently Asked Questions
What e-liquid works best with the OXVA XLIM Pro 3?
The XLIM Pro 3 works with both nicotine salt and freebase e-liquids. For the included 0.8Ω pod, nicotine salt at 20mg/mL in a 50/50 VG/PG blend delivers the smoothest MTL experience. The 0.6Ω pod handles both nic salt and freebase well at higher wattage, producing more vapour and a warmer draw. If you prefer a tighter cigarette-style hit, pair the 1.2Ω pod (sold separately) with nic salt and close the airflow. Browse our nicotine salt e-liquids and freebase e-liquids for compatible options.
What is the Pulse System and why does it matter?
The Pulse System is a power delivery technology exclusive to the XLIM Pro 3. Instead of sending a single continuous current to the coil, the Photon Chip sends rapid micro-pulses that keep the coil temperature and vapour output consistent throughout each draw. More importantly, it maintains this consistency as the battery depletes. OXVA rates it at 80%+ flavour stability even at 20% battery, compared to other pod kits that can drop to 50% flavour intensity at the same charge level. In practice, this means you do not need to charge the device early just because the flavour starts to fade.
Can I use my existing XLIM pods with the Pro 3?
Yes. The XLIM Pro 3 is fully compatible with all XLIM pod types: V3 Top Fill, V2 Side Fill, and EZ Top Fill cartridges across all resistances (0.4Ω, 0.6Ω, 0.8Ω, 1.2Ω). If you are upgrading from the XLIM Pro, XLIM SE, or XLIM GO 2, your existing pods will work immediately. The only exception is the XLIM C (changeable coil) pods, which are not compatible. NeXLIM cartridges are also not compatible with any XLIM device.
How long does the battery last?
Most reviewers report a full day to a day and a half with regular use. Heavy vapers who chain-vape at higher wattages (20-30W) can expect a full day. Light users running lower resistance pods at 10-18W may stretch to two or three days. OXVA rates the 1500mAh battery for up to five days of light use. When you need to recharge, the 5V/2A USB-C connection reaches 80% in about 30 minutes, so a short top-up during a break can keep you going all day.
Is the XLIM Pro 3 good for beginners?
Yes, despite the "Pro" name. The Photon Chip auto-detects your pod and sets the wattage for you, so you never need to touch the settings if you do not want to. You can lock the fire button and use auto-draw exclusively for a completely hands-off experience. The included 0.8Ω pod with a tighter airflow setting and 20mg nicotine salt provides a straightforward cigarette-style draw. The screen and manual wattage controls are there when you want them, but they are entirely optional. If you prefer an even simpler device with no screen or buttons at all, consider the XLIM GO 2.
What is the difference between the XLIM Pro 3 and the original XLIM Pro?
The XLIM Pro 3 upgrades every major component. The battery increases from 1000mAh to 1500mAh (50% larger). The screen grows from a small 0.56-inch display to a 1.05-inch HD colour screen (88% larger). The new Photon Chip with Pulse System replaces the standard chipset, adding consistent flavour output at low battery. The body material upgrades from IML plastic to zinc alloy for a premium feel. Pod compatibility remains the same across both devices, so any XLIM pods you already own will work with the Pro 3.
How does the XLIM Pro 3 compare to a disposable vape?
The XLIM Pro 3 is a refillable pod system that costs significantly less per use than disposable vapes over time. You choose your own e-liquid flavours, nicotine strength, and VG/PG ratio instead of being limited to pre-filled options. The Pulse System and UniTech 2.0 coils deliver flavour quality that reviewers consistently rate above most disposable devices, and you get a screen, adjustable wattage, and multiple pod options for customization. Each XLIM V3 pod lasts several weeks with regular use before needing replacement. If you are still exploring the switch from disposables, browse our disposable vapes and pod vape systems to compare options.
