How to Refill XLIM Pods Without Leaking
OXVA’s top-fill XLIM pods are designed to be mess-free — but a small mistake while refilling can cause leaks, spitback or wasted e-liquid. This quick guide explains how to refill your pod the right way, so your vape stays dry and smooth.
Why Do XLIM Pods Leak?
Leaks are almost always caused by:
- 💧 Overfilling past the fill line
- 🫥 Not sealing the fill port fully
- 🌡️ Drastic changes in temperature or pressure
- ⛽ Using high-PG or very thin e-liquids
How to Refill XLIM Pods (Step-by-Step)
- Remove the pod from your device
- Lift the top-fill silicone tab gently
- Insert the e-liquid nozzle slowly
- Fill only to the maximum fill line (avoid overfilling)
- Seal the tab tightly and press around the edges
- Wipe off any excess, then reinsert the pod
Always let the pod sit for 5–10 minutes before vaping if it’s brand new — this lets the coil saturate fully and prevents dry hits.
What to Do If Your XLIM Pod Leaks
If your pod is already leaking, don’t panic. Here’s how to fix it:
- 1. Remove the pod and wipe down all surfaces
- 2. Check the silicone fill port — is it sealed flat?
- 3. Don’t blow into the pod — this can worsen the issue
- 4. Let it sit upright for 10 mins before reinserting
Extra Tips to Prevent Leaking
- 🧴 Use 50/50 e-liquids or nic salts — avoid very thin liquids
- 🚫 Never fill in extreme cold or heat
- 📦 Store the pod upright when not in use
- 🧼 Clean the pod and device contacts weekly
