Airflow Settings

The XLIM Pro 3 has a sliding airflow control on the side of the device with three positions:

Open (max airflow)

Slide fully open for a looser, airier draw with more vapour volume. Best with 0.6 ohm pods at higher wattage for a restricted direct-to-lung feel.

Mid position

The most popular setting for nic salt users. A balanced mouth-to-lung draw with good flavour and moderate vapour. Works well with 0.8 ohm pods.

Closed (min airflow)

Tightest draw, closest to a cigarette. Strongest flavour concentration. Best with 1.0 or 1.2 ohm pods for heavy smokers making the switch.

Display Modes

Press the fire button 3 times to cycle through the 3 display modes on the XLIM Pro 3:

Mode	What it shows	When to use it
Mode 1 (default)	Wattage and battery level	Day-to-day use
Mode 2	Puff counter	Tracking pod life
Mode 3	Voltage output	Advanced users checking coil voltage

Resetting the Puff Counter
