What Does the Lock Do?

Lock mode disables the fire button (and optionally auto-draw) to prevent the device from activating in your pocket. This helps avoid burnt coils and accidental usage β€” especially when travelling.

  • βœ… Preserves coil life

How to Lock or Unlock the XLIM Pro

To lock or unlock your XLIM Pro or Pro 2, simply hold the fire button:

  1. Hold the fire/power button for 2–3 seconds

πŸ”“ To unlock, repeat the same step β€” hold the button again for 3 seconds.

What If My XLIM Pro Won’t Unlock?

If your OXVA XLIM Pro still isn’t working after holding the fire button, try the following:

  • 1. Is the battery dead? β†’ Plug in via USB-C for at least 15 minutes and try again
  • 2. Are you pressing fast enough? β†’ Hold the button firmly for a full 3 seconds
  • 3. Is it already unlocked? β†’ Inhale to test, or press the fire button once

If the screen shows nothing, it's likely powered off. Click the fire button 5 times quickly to turn it back on, then try the lock/unlock step again.
