Prime any new pod

If you fitted a new pod, fill it and leave for 5 minutes before vaping. Take 3-5 draw-only puffs to saturate the coil before firing.

Check airflow

After handling the device, the airflow slider may have moved. Set it to your preferred position before your first draw.

Charge if low

Below 20% battery the device may cut out mid-puff or reduce performance. Plug in via USB-C for 45-60 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does resetting my OXVA delete my settings?

No. The 5-click reset only toggles the lock/unlock status. Your wattage, airflow mode and other settings remain exactly as they were.

How do I reset my OXVA XLIM Pro 3?

Press the fire button 4 times within 3 seconds. The LED or screen will flash to confirm the device has toggled its lock state. To clear the puff counter, press the fire button 2 times to open the secondary menu, short-press to switch to the puff-count option, then long-press to confirm.

My OXVA is not responding at all after I reset it - what do I do?

First check whether the device is locked - press the fire button 5 times to unlock. If still unresponsive, check the pod is properly seated (remove and reinsert). If the device still does not respond, try charging for 30 minutes as it may have a deeply discharged battery.

Does resetting fix burnt taste?

Not directly. Burnt taste is caused by a worn coil or improper priming, not the device settings. Replace the pod and lower the wattage. The reset only changes the lock state.

How do I factory reset my OXVA?

OXVA devices do not have a traditional factory reset that wipes all settings. The 5-click reset is the primary user reset. If you are experiencing persistent issues, contact OXVA support or your retailer about a warranty replacement.
