OXVA has quietly built a reputation for making sleek, no-fuss vaping devices that actually deliver. The OXVA SlimStick and the newer OXVA SlimStick X are two of their most popular options, and while they look similar at first glance, they’re designed for slightly different kinds of vapers. If you’re trying to decide between the two, here’s a straightforward breakdown.
Design
Both devices share the same slim, all-metal aesthetic that OXVA is known for. They come in the same six color options, Black, Pink, Blue, Gold, Purple, and Gray, and both feel premium in the hand. The original SlimStick is impressively compact at just 90mm tall and 14mm slim, weighing around 58g. It’s genuinely pocket-friendly and barely noticeable during everyday carry. The SlimStick X follows the same minimalist philosophy, with a clean aluminum-alloy body that looks refined without trying too hard. Neither device feels cheap, and that counts for a lot in this price range.
Features
This is where the two really start to diverge. The SlimStick runs on a 1500mAh battery compared to the SlimStick X’s 1400mAh, so it edges ahead slightly on raw power. One full charge on the SlimStick gets you through roughly five prefilled pods, which OXVA equates to a week’s worth of vaping for moderate users. The SlimStick X, while slightly lower in battery capacity, still promises up to five days of use and pairs that with a refillable 2ml pod system.
That refillable pod is the biggest practical difference. The SlimStick X is designed for vapers who want control over their e-liquid. It features easy top-fill with a visible e-liquid window, no pod removal needed, and it’s compatible with any nicotine salt. Over time, this makes it significantly more cost-effective and eco-friendlier than buying prefilled pods. The SlimStick, on the other hand, keeps things dead simple. Unbox, remove the plug, and vape. There’s no filling, no learning curve, and it comes in 11 ready-to-go flavors ranging from Kiwi Passion Fruit to Classic Tobacco.
Both devices share the same smart alert system, a green light above 20% battery and red below — plus a gentle vibration on pod connection. Both deliver a smooth MTL draw with auto-inhale activation and no buttons to fuss with. The OXVA SlimStick X adds a child-lock feature and optional soft silicone mouthpiece tips, which are small but thoughtful touches.
Conclusion
Choosing between the two really comes down to your lifestyle. If you want the absolute easiest experience possible and love having flavor variety handed to you, the OXVA SlimStick is a brilliant everyday carry. But if you’re ready to take a small step toward something more sustainable and customizable without sacrificing simplicity, the SlimStick X offers better long-term value. Both are genuinely good devices, OXVA just built them for two slightly different versions of the same person.
