I've been using my XLIM Pro 3 for about 5 months and it's great. The XLIM 3 Ultra keeps catching my eye – the OLED screen and airflow dial look appealing. But is it actually meaningfully better for day-to-day use, or is it just more features you don't really need?
For someone coming back to nicotine after 5 years: XLIM Go Lite, 1.2ohm pod, start on 10mg nic salt rather than 20mg. You've had no nicotine for 5 years so your tolerance will be very low — 20mg will make you feel sick. 10mg is plenty. Then reassess after a few weeks. The Go Lite is the simplest possible device, easy to put down when you want to.
Honest answer: for most people's day-to-day use the Pro 3 and 3 Ultra are nearly identical in actual vaping experience. Same pods, same output range, same flavour quality. The differences are the OLED display (shows more information clearly) and the airflow adjustment dial.
The airflow dial IS genuinely useful once you've found your preferred setting – being able to fine-tune the draw is nice. But if you're happy with the Pro 3's draw as-is, it's not something you'll feel a need to adjust.
My honest take: if you're happy with your Pro 3, keep it. The 3 Ultra is for people who specifically want the airflow control or find the Pro 3's display too basic. It's not a meaningful upgrade for satisfied Pro 3 users.
Had both. Use the Pro 3 now. The 3 Ultra was great but I found I set the airflow once and never touched it again, which made it feel like wasted feature. The OLED is nice but honestly didn't change my experience. Save your money unless you specifically want airflow control.
Going to stick with my Pro 3. The "set the airflow once and never touch it" comment really rang true – I'd probably do the same. Going to put the upgrade budget towards trying the NeXLIM instead. Thanks for the honest take!
