OXVA have refined the successful NeXLIM Pod Kit with the NeXLIM GO, and we’ve got one here for review!
OXVA have had a massive string of hits over the past few years and regularly top the best pod vape lists on many vape publications.
not only with the original OXVA NeXLIM but also with outstanding devices such as the XLIM Pro 2 DNA, XLIM SQ Pro 2, VPrime and the OX Passion e-liquid range.
Will the NeXLIM GO build on the success of the original NeXLIM? Let’s find out…
What Can We Expect From The OXVA NeXLIM GO?
With the NeXLIM GO, OXVA have designed a pod kit that is 23.5g lighter than the NeXLIM, weighing in at 64g. That makes it the lightest 1800mAh dual mesh pod system available!
But of course, size is nothing without performance! And thanks to OXVA’s Dual Mesh Technology, the NeXLIM GO won’t let you down here…
Performance is also driven by two output options, ensuring that restricted direct lung and mouth to lung vaping options are available, and you can change the output mode effortlessly at the flick of a switch.
Boost Mode is all about maximising the dual mesh coil set up, driving intense power to the coils to deliver a 200% increase in flavour performance over regular dual mesh pods, with an incredibly rich and satisfying vape.
Eco Mode alternates between the two mesh coils, extending the lifespan of your pod by up to 200% and enhances battery life efficiency. In Eco Mode, you can expect to get a pod lifespan of around 30 refills!
NeXLIM Cartridges feature OXVA’s patented Unitech 2.0 technology, which has five layers of cotton wrapped around the dual mesh coil set up, ensuring rapid e-liquid absorption, efficient heating which allows you to savour authentic flavours with rich clouds, as well as enjoying a leak free vaping experience.
These cartridges are available in 0.6ohm, 0.8ohm and 1.2ohm options and feature a top filling system, with a 4ml capacity (2ml in TPD regulated markets).
A massive 1800mAh battery is built into the OXVA NeXLIM GO, giving you 10 days of usage time in Eco Mode and a tri-level battery indicator allowing you to check the status at a glance, with 5V/2A fast charging capabilities fully charging the battery in just 45 minutes.
Adjustable airflow is also present, allowing you to customise the airflow to how you like it, and the NeXLIM GO has a maximum output power of 40W. Eight different colour finishes are available to choose from.
Many thanks to OXVA for sending the NeXLIM GO in for review, let’s see how this one shapes up!
As always, all views are my own…

Design & Build Quality
The OXVA NeXLIM GO is manufactured from polycarbonate and has dimensions of 119mm x 28.5mm x 18mm, it also weighs in at 87.5g including the NeXLIM Cartridge.
Even though this is the lightest 1800mAh Dual Mesh pod kit on the market, it is still quite tall and wide, it is quite a substantially larger footprint than my OXVA XLIM Pro 2 DNA Version for example!
Though when I hold this in hand, I realise just how surprisingly light this device is, making it a real delight to carry around with me. It is definitely a comfortable device to hold in hand and the finish has a comforting feel to it.
There are eight different colour options to choose from, with Starry Blue, Space Gray, Rose Pink, Sahara Brown, Silky Purple, Silky Coffee, Silky Black and Black Warrior finishes available.
On the front of the device is the tri-colour battery life indicator, with the OXVA logo at the base.
On one side of the device is the sliding airflow control, with the mode adjustment switch opposite to this and the Type-C USB charging port just underneath.
NeXLIM Cartridges connect magnetically to the device and are held firmly, with no discernible wobble. These cartridges feature a top filling system and have a 4ml capacity, though this is limited to 2ml in TPD regulated markets.
Quick Start Guide
How to Fill the Pod
Handily, there’s no need to remove the pod from the NeXLIM GO device in order to fill it!
Locate the silicon filling port cover on the side of the pod, pull this open, insert your e-liquid bottle and fill the pod right up before replacing the filling port cover.
After filling for the first time, leave the pod for 5-8 minutes before vaping to allow e-liquid to fully saturate the cotton, this will prolong the lifespan of your pod and help to avoid burnt hits.
Operation
This is an auto-draw system so once you have your pod filled you just take a puff to fire.
You can switch between Eco and Boost modes by flicking the switch on the opposite side to the airflow control.
A tri-colour battery life indicator displays the current battery level as a coloured LED, which is as follows-
- Green light= 65-100% battery life remaining
- Blue light= 30-65%
- Red light= 0-30%
An airflow control system is located on the side of the device and I will cover that in a bit more detail further on in the review.
Charging
A Type-C charging cable is required to charge the NeXLIM GO, with the Type-C charging port located underneath the mode adjustment switch.
5V/2A fast charging is included here so the 1800mAh battery charges up from flat to full in 45 minutes, which is very quick for battery of that size!
Safety Features
- 8 second vaping overtime cut off
- High temperature protection
- Low battery protection
- Short circuit protection
- Overcharging protection
How Does The OXVA NeXLIM GO Perform?
Output power with the OXVA NeXLIM GO is 5-40W, however you will need the 0.6ohm NeXLIM cartridge (sold separately) to experience the full 40W capabilities of this device.
The device will operate at maximum power from a fully charged battery, and steadily decrease in line with the remaining battery level. That being said, even when the battery indicator was displaying red, the vape still felt powerful enough to be satisfying!
With boost mode active, both mesh coils heat up at the same time, delivering a richer and more intense vape with larger cloud production. Eco mode uses each coil interchangeably, delivering a smoother and less intense experience, whilst maximising battery life.
A noticeable feature here is just how quickly the device heats up and fires, especially with boost mode active, OXVA state that the device activates in 0.01 seconds!
The 0.8ohm NeXLIM Cartridge is included in the box, catering to both MTL and RDL vapers, there is also the option of a 0.6ohm (RDL) or a 1.2ohm (MTL) cartridge available separately.
Flavour
Well, the flavour from the NeXLIM Cartridge really blew me away!
It is genuinely outstanding, the fast heat up time delivers the flavour notes from my e-liquids in no time at all, and it excels at delivering all the flavour notes from my juices!
It keeps up when chain vaping as well, with no dry hits experienced, so there’s some excellent wicking here.
I prefer a more intense and warmer vape, so I preferred to use boost mode. However, even in eco mode, I still get phenomenally rich flavour with a cooler vape, so I switched to this when I knew I wouldn’t be able to charge my device for a while!
Pod Lifespan
This is another outstanding aspect of the NeXLIM Go.
I’ve had this device for almost two weeks now, and the pod is only just starting to degrade in performance, putting this right up there with the best in terms of pod lifespan.
Airflow
Airflow can be controlled using the slider at the side of the device, and you can go from a tight mouth to lung all the way to an airy restricted lung vape.
When you close the airflow control right down, I notice that there is even a dedicated small mouth to lung airflow slot too, which is a nice touch for mouth to lung vaping.
The NeXLIM GO seriously delivers on the cloud front as well, especially with boost mode, this can produce some mightily impressive levels of vapour- I had to be careful vaping in the car!
Battery Life
Battery life is one of the biggest selling points of the NeXLIM GO, an 1800mAh battery is packed into the device which is one of the largest to be found on a pod kit.
By utilising eco mode, which lowers the power output to improve battery life, you can seriously get days of vaping from this device before it needs to be charged.
And thanks to the fast charging capabilities of this device, you haven’t got to wait around long for it to charge up either!
Pros
- Lightweight but powerful pod system
- Exceptional flavour performance
- Long pod lifespan
- RDL and MTL vaping options
- Almost instantaneous firing
- Very long battery life
- Fast charging
- No need to remove the pod to fill it
- Can see the full e-liquid level in the pod without removing it
Cons
- Limited power adjustment options
- Quite tall and wide
- Filling port cover can sometimes be a bit finicky to open, especially if you have short nails!
Final Verdict
OXVA have developed an entry-level pod system, accessible to anyone, that offers top of the range performance with the NeXLIM GO!
Seriously, this has some of the best flavour I’ve experienced from a pick up and play pod kit, with the dual mesh coil system in the NeXLIM cartridges delivering a wonderous, rich and full flavoured vape.
And it isn’t just the performance that has impressed me here, the battery life is quite exceptional for a pod system, eliminating battery anxiety when using the NeXLIM GO!
I had a quick look online to see what the NeXLIM GO would retail at in the UK, and most of the retailers that I checked out had this listed for less than £15, which is an absolute bargain for what you get with the NeXLIM GO in my opinion.
Plus, the pods just seem to go on and on as well, saving you money in the long run as you don’t need to change pods as frequently as you do with other devices.
If you are looking for an easy to use pod kit that delivers top of the range performance and has best in class battery life for a price that won’t break the bank, I can highly recommend the OXVA NeXLIM GO!
