The OXVA Xlim Pro 2 is the update to the excellent Xlim Pro which I loved.
I am a huge OXVA Xlim fan girl – I have every model made from the original Xlim V1/V2, Xlim SE, Xlim SQ, Xlim C, Xlim Pro, Xlim SQ Pro and the most recent Xlim Go.
For me the Xlim kits just keep getting better and better! Let’s hope the OXVA Xlim Pro 2 follows that trend!
Thank you to OXVA for sending this over for review. My opinions are based on the device in my possession. My experience may differ from yours as sometimes we get “Sample” devices compared to full retail versions.
What To Expect From The OXVA Xlim Pro 2?
As mentioned above this is an update to the Xlim Pro – so what is new?
For a start the battery has increased from the 1000mAh of the Xlim Pro to a whopping 1300mAh! A Type C USB port is provided for 2A quick charging.
The other main update is the screen! This has a 0.56 inch HD colour screen which is super clear.
It also has the familiar RGB light bar LED indicator on the bottom of the screen to display faults.
You can choose from the main screen or 2 animations to display when vaping.
Plus you can also view operating instructions at a single push of the button.
This has an auto draw activation only – meaning you inhale on the mouthpiece and it will fire up.
Output wise this is adjustable from 5 to 30W and you can manually adjust this or trust the device to select the correct output itself with the automatic smart feature.
This comes with the newest (V3) Top Fill pods. These pods are compatible with all of the previous Xlim devices (apart from the Xlim C).
The coils are fixed meaning no messy coil changes – you discard the pod when the coil performance has deteriorated or tastes burnt. From previous experience you will be getting a very long pod life!
There are 4 resistance options of the pods – 0.4ohm, 0.6ohm (included in kit), 0.8ohm (included in kit) and 1.2ohm.
If you want ultra simplicity – you can use the pre-filled Xlim pods. Makes vaping as easy as using a disposable vape but in a more environmentally and wallet friendly way!
Here is an introduction video from the OXVA Official YouTube channel.
You can choose from 8 colours: Black Carbon, Silver Carbon, Dream Purple, Platinum Grey, Coral Pink, Green Python, Blue Python and Brown Python.
Plus there will be a limited edition Blue and Red version on the way at some point!

OXVA Xlim Pro 2 Design and Build Quality
I received the Dream Purple version.
The packaging is a similar size to the Xlim Pro box. You slide the inner tray out and you are greeted with a plastic overlay which shows all the button operations simply laid out.
The instructions are OK, they tell you pretty much what you need to know apart from information on charging.
If you find the included instructions a bit small to read you can download a digital copy here.
A nice little bonus is the excellent quality Lanyard and USB Cable. The cable is a bit short but has a lovely Red braided finish!
OXVA Xlim Pro 2 Mod
Obviously I will tend to compare this with the Xlim Pro as it is the predecessor!
This is only one gramme heavier at 67g than the Xlim Pro but has 300mAh more battery capacity!
Size wise it is pretty much the same – only being 3mm longer – which is not even noticeable.
As mine is the Dream Purple version it does not have the textured artificial Leather finish but instead it has an intricate IML (In Mould Labelling) finish.
Basically the IML allows intricate patterns to be applied in multiple layers and finished off with a moulded veneer style outer shell.
The patterns take the form of “swishes” like the texture of a paint brush and they catch the light beautifully.
You will find the patterned panels on the front and back with a brushed finish frame running around the sides, top and bottom of the mod. On one side the “Xlim Pro 2” logo is etched in Silver.
On the front of the mod you will find the rounded screen which we will discuss below and the OXVA logo in a shiny Silver finish.
The right side of the device features the airflow adjustment slider which does have quite a strong resistance. You will need a thumbnail to push this. Thankfully the knob does not protrude far from the edge of the device so is unlikely to get hooked on anything when in a pocket or bag.
The base is made from the same metal as the frame and has the battery capacity and required legal logos etched in.
It is also home to the USB Type C port which worked perfectly and 2 Torx screw heads. This will stand upright but the base is smaller than the rest of the mod so it does easily topple over.
The pod compartment offers no surprises – it looks the same as the rest of the Xlim devices. There are 2 spring loaded connectors and 2 strong magnets. I do find these magnets to be stronger than previous Xlim mods which is great as the pod doesn’t fall out. But it can be a bit difficult to grip the pod to pull it out of the mod.
Work Face
The work face is a term we use to cover any display and operating buttons / switches.
The screen is super bright and clear – you can really see how the HD display quality makes everything much clearer.
On the top row of the screen is the percentage of battery charge remaining and an icon depicting the battery charge.
Below that is the output value selected in Watts (W).
At the bottom left is the pod resistance which is denoted by the ohm (Ω) symbol.
Finally the bottom right is the puff counter which goes up to 5 digits.
You can choose from 2 different animations when vaping – one looks like fireworks and the other is a circular Blue swirl. Or you can choose to show the home screen with the RGB light showing different colours. I have tried to capture these on the video below.
