Vaporesso has expanded its popular Vaporesso XROS lineup with two options: the touchscreen-equipped Vaporesso XROS 5 Nano and the screen-focused XROS 5. Both devices aim to deliver premium MTL vaping with COREX 3.0 technology, but they take different approaches to user interaction and design philosophy.
Design and Build
The Vaporesso XROS 5 Nano takes a modern approach with its 1.09-inch touchscreen display and lightweight 86-gram frame. The touch interface feels intuitive, letting you swipe through settings and themes without physical buttons cluttering the design. Vaporesso added a reinforced screen frame for durability and included personalized strap options that match the device’s identity.
The XROS 5 opts for a more traditional button-controlled experience with a smaller 0.88-inch HD screen. While compact, it maintains a professional aesthetic and feels slightly more rugged for everyday pocket carrying. The button layout (1-5 clicks for different functions) becomes second nature after a day or two of use.
Display and Customization
Here’s where these devices diverge significantly. The Vaporesso XROS 5 Nano’s touchscreen provides access to 29 UI themes with different wallpapers and visual styles. The 311 PPI resolution delivers crisp visuals, and swiping between menus feels responsive. You also get smart features like puff tracking, usage history, and vaping reminders for those who want data about their habits.
The XROS 5 keeps things simpler with six colorful themes on its smaller display. You won’t get touchscreen functionality or detailed analytics, but the essential information—battery life, power level, and puff count—remains clearly visible. It’s straightforward without unnecessary complexity.
Battery and Charging
The Vaporesso XROS 5 Nano edges ahead with a 1600mAh battery and 2A fast charging that reaches full capacity in 45 minutes. The larger battery means longer sessions between charges, which matters if you’re a heavy user.
The XROS 5 packs a 1500mAh battery with faster 3A super charging, hitting 80% in roughly 20 minutes. The slightly smaller capacity is offset by quicker top-ups, making it convenient for quick charging breaks.
Performance and Features
Both devices use COREX 3.0 technology, delivering the same 40% improvement in aroma reproduction and 30% boosts in flavor, stability, and airflow smoothness. They’re compatible with the entire XROS pod lineup (0.4Ω to 1.2Ω options), and both feature adjustable airflow from tight MTL to loose RDL draws.
The XROS 5 offers more granular power control—0.5W increments from 15-30W with the 0.4Ω pod, or three-mode adjustment (Power/Normal/ECO) with other pods. The XROS 5 Nano simplifies this with easy adjustment but less precise wattage control.
Both support auto-draw and button activation, and both integrate SSS leak-resistant technology for mess-free pockets.
Conclusion
Choose the Vaporesso XROS 5 Nano if you want a modern touchscreen experience, smart tracking features, and slightly longer battery life. It’s perfect for vapers who enjoy customization and don’t mind a bit more weight for premium features.
Pick the XROS 5 if you prefer tactile buttons, ultra-fast charging, and precise power control without touchscreen complexity. It’s the practical choice for those who value simplicity and traditional controls.
Both devices deliver excellent flavor and reliable performance; your decision comes down to whether you want a smart, data-driven experience or a straightforward, button-based device.
