OXVA Xlim Pods Compatibility Chart 2025
Quick answer: Most Xlim devices use Top Fill pods in 0.8 Ω or 1.2 Ω for nic salts. The SQ Pro 2 uses EZ pods (best at 0.8 Ω). Keep liquids around 50 to 60 VG for consistent wicking.

How to choose the right Xlim pod
- Confirm your device and pod family in the compatibility matrix above.
- Select your resistance. 1.2 Ω is best for a classic MTL hit. 0.8 Ω balances flavor and vapor. 0.4 to 0.6 Ω is better for warmer RDL but uses more liquid.
- Prime the pod by filling and waiting 5 to 10 minutes before the first puff. This prevents dry hits and extends lifespan.
- Refill when the level hits one third. Running very low can scorch the wick.
Pod lifespan and liquid guide
The ranges below assume normal MTL use with 50 to 60 VG liquids. Heavy, sweet liquids or chain vaping will shorten these estimates.
| Pod | Typical lifespan | Signs to replace | Recommended liquid | Buy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Top Fill 1.2 Ω | 10 to 14 days | Harsh hit at normal power, darkened wick, muted flavor | Nic salts 10 to 20 mg • 50 to 60 VG | Top Fill pods |
| Top Fill 0.8 Ω | 7 to 12 days | Gurgle after refills, flavor drop, tighter airflow | Nic salts 10 to 20 mg • 50 to 60 VG | Top Fill pods |
| EZ 0.8 Ω | 6 to 10 days | Seepage at the fill plug when overfilled, warmer vape than usual | Nic salts 10 to 20 mg • 50 to 60 VG | EZ pods |
Tips to extend pod life
- Keep wattage within the pod recommendation. Going far above shortens wick life.
- Avoid very thick 70 VG liquids in mesh MTL pods. They wick poorly and mute flavor.
- Let fresh fills sit for at least 5 minutes. Take 2 to 3 primer puffs without firing if needed.
- Wipe the base of the pod when refitting to keep contacts clean and reduce misfires.

Which pods fit the Xlim Pro 2
Use XLIM Top Fill pods. The most popular resistances are 0.8 Ω and 1.2 Ω for nicotine salts.
Which pods fit the Xlim SE 2
XLIM Top Fill pods. Choose 1.2 Ω for a tight MTL draw or 0.8 Ω for a slightly airier vape.
Which pods fit the Xlim SQ Pro 2
XLIM EZ pods. The 0.8 Ω option is the recommended all rounder for salts.
Top Fill vs EZ pods: what is the difference
Top Fill opens at the top and is used by most Xlim devices. EZ is a compact side fill cartridge used by SQ Pro 2. Performance is similar at 0.8 Ω, but they are not interchangeable.
What liquid ratio works best
Most users get the best wicking with 50 to 60 VG nic salts. Very thick 70 VG liquids can mute flavor and shorten pod life.
How long do Xlim pods last
Typical ranges: 1.2 Ω Top Fill 10 to 14 days, 0.8 Ω Top Fill 7 to 12 days, 0.8 Ω EZ 6 to 10 days. Sweet liquids or high power reduce these ranges.
How do I prime a new pod
Fill the pod and wait 5 to 10 minutes. Take two primer puffs without firing if needed. Start at a moderate power and step up if the flavor is muted.
My pod is gurgling or seeping at the fill plug. What should I do
Wipe the base of the pod, keep the fill level below the max line, and avoid rapid chain puffs right after a refill. If it continues, replace the pod.
Can I use Xlim pods with freebase e-liquid
Yes, but most Top Fill and EZ pods are tuned for salts. For freebase and warmer draws, use lower resistance pods and moderate power, or an Origin 2 with Unicoil cartridges.
