Traditionally recognized for its MTL hardware, OXVA ventures into uncharted territory with the launch of the VPRIME, a bold leap into sub-ohm vaping. Unlike their other pod kits, the VPRIME offers a distinct experience, setting itself apart as a versatile device capable of delivering robust sub-ohm performance. I had the opportunity to try out this new release and put it through its paces. Here’s a comprehensive, hands-on review of the OXVA VPRIME.
Packaging and Contents
The VPRIME kit arrives in premium black and gold packaging, making a strong first impression. The sleeve features gold accents showcasing the product name, with the device visible through a transparent window. Details like the pod resistances, key features, and a comprehensive contents list are thoughtfully displayed. Removing the sleeve reveals a quick-start guide card, followed by the device snugly secured in foam alongside a box containing a spare 0.6-ohm pod, USB-C cable, and user manual.
Build Quality
Constructed predominantly from zinc alloy, the VPRIME has a solid feel, weighing 116g. While slightly heavier than typical pod kits, this weight accommodates a powerful 2600mAh battery. The ergonomic design ensures comfort, resembling the grip of a smooth, compact bar of soap.
Key design elements include:
- A 0.96” color screen and responsive firing button.
- Airflow control slider for inhale customization.
- Convenient USB-C charging port at the base.
The VPRIME pod utilizes OXVA’s innovative Unitech 2.0 technology, enhancing mesh construction for better heat distribution and leak resistance. Refilling is straightforward via a side hatch, and the mouthpiece design ensures a comfortable vaping experience.
Performance
The VPRIME delivers a seamless vaping experience with both button-activated and auto-draw firing methods. With an output range of up to 60W, it produces satisfying sub-ohm clouds while maintaining ease of use.
The airflow slider allows for subtle customization, while the mouthpiece sits comfortably during use. Though the device lacks advanced modes, its simplicity ensures an enjoyable experience without unnecessary complications.
A unique feature is the option to choose between three screen animations—adding a touch of personality to your vaping sessions.
Ease of Use
The VPRIME excels in simplicity, making it accessible even for beginners. With pre-installed disposable coils and straightforward wattage adjustments, there’s a little learning curve. Features like customizable themes are optional extras rather than necessities, allowing users to dive right into the vaping experience with minimal setup.
Battery Life
The 2600mAh battery provides excellent longevity, easily lasting up to two days under moderate usage. Even during heavy, desk-based vaping sessions, the battery performed admirably. Fast 2A charging minimizes downtime, ensuring the device is ready to use in no time.
Flavor Output
The Unitech 2.0 coil system delivers consistent, rich flavor with every puff. The advanced coil design maximizes surface area for even heating, resulting in dense vapor and vibrant taste. Even after a week of use with a fruity e-liquid, the flavor remained sharp and satisfying.
Final Thoughts
The OXVA VPRIME stands out as a strong contender in the sub-ohm vaping category. While its slightly heavier build might not suit everyone, the ergonomic design, robust battery, and impressive flavor output make it a compelling choice.
