Vaporesso XROS Mini Retro Pod Kit 18W – £6.99
The Vaporesso XROS Mini Retro Pod Kit 18W is a compact, retro-styled pod kit engineered for adult vapers seeking portable, draw-activated convenience in a nostalgic form factor. At just £6.99, this is an exceptional entry point for vapers exploring refillable pod systems or looking for an ultra-portable backup device.
This kit combines Vaporesso’s established pod technology with an 18W output ceiling, delivering consistent performance across compatible replacement pods and coils. The XROS Mini Retro uses refillable pods compatible with nic salt e-liquids and freebase e-liquids, making it versatile across liquid types. The retro aesthetic houses modern pod-kit internals: the device itself is battery-integrated (built-in rechargeable cell), and the kit includes the main unit plus compatible pods. Unlike prefilled pod kits, this is a refillable system, allowing you to choose your own e-liquid and nicotine strength. The 18W power output is suited to MTL (mouth-to-lung) and restricted DL (direct-lung) vaping, depending on coil resistance, making it ideal for smokers transitioning to vaping or experienced vapers prioritising portability.

How it compares
The XROS Mini Retro differs from prefilled pod systems in that it is fully refillable—you fill the pods yourself with your choice of liquid, offering greater flexibility and cost-per-ml savings over time. Compared to larger mod-based kits, it sacrifices battery capacity and maximum wattage for genuine pocket portability and simplified operation; there are no buttons or settings, just inhale-to-fire convenience. Its 18W ceiling positions it as an MTL-focused device, lighter than the 20–50W dual-coil sub-ohm landscape, making it less suitable for cloud-chasing but ideal for longer battery life and discreet vaping. The retro styling appeals to vapers who value aesthetic nostalgia alongside contemporary performance, distinguishing it from standard black plastic pod kits.
