OXVA Artio — Ultra-Light Pen-Style Pod Kit Guide
The OXVA Artio is the most unusual device in the OXVA range. At 32g it is the lightest vaping device OXVA makes — lighter than most pens. Here is an honest assessment of who it is for.

What Makes the Artio Different
The Artio is OXVA’s most minimalist device. It is round-profile (16.5mm diameter — like a thick pen), aluminium body, auto-draw only, 15W maximum. There are no buttons, no screens, no settings. Pick it up, fill it, vape.
The 550mAh battery is small — this is intentional. The Artio is designed for light or social vapers who want a device that sits in a pocket without being noticed. It is not for heavy all-day vapers.

Who Should Buy the Artio
- Extremely light/social vapers (1–5 puffs per day)
- People who want a device that literally disappears in any pocket
- Secondary/backup device for heavy OXVA users
- New vapers curious about OXVA at minimal cost
Who Should NOT Buy the Artio
- Regular daily vapers — 550mAh will not last a full day
- Anyone who vapes after meals, during commutes, all day — get XLIM Go Lite or Go 2 instead
- Users switching from cigarettes — insufficient battery for transition cravings
