XLIM Go vs Go 2 — What Changed?
The Go 2 updates the original XLIM Go with improved airflow consistency and compatibility with XLIM V3 Top Fill pods, which seal better and are easier to refill. The core experience is the same — auto-draw, fixed output, simple operation — but pod leaking issues that affected early Go users have been addressed.
Go 2 vs Go Lite — which should you buy?
Go Lite (£6.99) uses top-fill side-fill pods, is even smaller, and is the absolute budget entry. Go 2 (£8.49) is slightly larger with better build feel and the V3 top-fill pod system. For most beginners, Go Lite is fine. If you want to feel “proper kit” quality, spend the extra £1.50 on Go 2.
Step 1: Setting Up Your XLIM Go 2
- Charge first — plug in via USB-C and charge to 100% before first use. Takes about 45 minutes from flat.
- Fill the pod — on XLIM V3 Top Fill pods, open the top silicone cover and fill slowly down the side to avoid air pockets. Fill to the max line.
- Prime for 5 minutes — after filling, let the pod sit upright for 5 minutes. This saturates the coil and prevents a burnt first draw.
- Take 2-3 light draws — before inhaling normally, take a couple of slow, light puffs to properly wet the wick.
- Vape normally — auto-draw means no buttons. Just inhale to activate.
Which Pods Work With the XLIM Go 2?
| Pod | Resistance | Draw Style | Best For | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XLIM V3 Top Fill | 0.6Ω / 1.2Ω | RDL / MTL | Nic salts, all-round | £5.99 |
| XLIM EZ | 0.8Ω | RDL | Easy-fill, nic salts | £5.99 |
All pods are 3-pack. The 1.2Ω V3 pod is recommended for beginners — tighter draw, better for 20mg nic salts.
Best E-Liquid for XLIM Go 2
The Go 2 is designed for 10ml nic salt liquids. Use 20mg or 10mg depending on your nicotine needs.
- 20mg nic salt — for ex-smokers or heavy users. Smooth hit, satisfying nicotine delivery.
- 10mg nic salt — for lighter vapers or those who have already stepped down from 20mg.
- Avoid shortfills / freebase 3mg — the fixed output of the Go 2 isn’t designed for high-VG liquids. Stick to 50/50 or nic salt formulas.
