Flavor is where the XROS 4 really shines. Vaporesso's SSS (Self-Study-Soldering) mesh coil technology delivers some of the best flavor I've had from a pod system.
I tested four different pod types:
| Pod Type | Resistance | Best Wattage | Draw Style | Flavor Quality |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mesh Pod | 0.4Ξ© | 25-28W | Restricted DTL | βββββ |
| Mesh Pod | 0.6Ξ© | 20-25W | Loose MTL / RDL | βββββ |
| Mesh Pod | 0.8Ξ© | 16-20W | MTL | ββββΒ½ |
| Regular Pod | 1.2Ξ© | 12-16W | Tight MTL | ββββ |
The 0.4Ξ© and 0.6Ξ© mesh pods are where this device truly excels. The flavor is rich, full-bodied, and surprisingly detailed for a pod system. Fruit flavors pop with brightness, dessert flavors have depth and complexity, and tobacco flavors have a smooth, natural quality.
The 0.8Ξ© mesh pod is also excellent for MTL vaping β still great flavor, just a bit less vapor production. The 1.2Ξ© regular (non-mesh) pod is good but not quite on the same level β the flavor is thinner and less vibrant. For the best experience, stick with the mesh pods.
Wattage Tuning
One of the best things about the XROS 4 is the ability to fine-tune the wattage. Start at the lower end of the recommended range and work your up until you find the sweet spot for your juice and preference. I found that most e-liquids taste best at 20-25W with the 0.6Ξ© pod.
