The Screen: Main Difference
Pro 3: 1.05″ HD Screen
- Small but bright (300 nits, visible in sunlight)
- Button-based menus (stable, no touch sensitivity issues)
- 6 theme options with animations
Ultra: 2.2″ Full Touchscreen
- 4.4x larger screen area (smartphone-like experience)
- 331 PPI pixel density (sharper than Pro 3)
- 3D UI themes with gestures
- 60Hz refresh rate (smooth scrolling)
Real-World Impact: For vaping, a bigger screen improves visibility of settings and puff counter. If you don’t adjust settings often, the screen size doesn’t matter much for actual vaping performance.
Battery & Performance (Identical)
Both devices:
- 1500mAh battery
- 5-30W wattage range
- 30-minute fast charge to 80%
- Support all XLIM pod resistances (0.4-1.2Ω)
- 5 days per charge with 0.8Ω pod
Verdict: Identical battery performance. No advantage to either.
Design & Portability
Pro 3 Wins Here:
- 77.4g vs 90g (lighter, more pocketable)
- Smaller footprint (119.9mm vs 121.9mm)
- Better for traveling, gym, commuting
Ultra Better For:
- Desktop/home use
- Users who like bigger screens
- Enhanced visual customization

Verdict & Recommendation
Best Overall Value: XLIM Pro 3
You get 95% of the flagship experience for 70% of the price. The Pulse System, HD display, and 1500mAh battery satisfy most users perfectly.
Premium Pick: XLIM 3 Ultra
If money isn’t a constraint and you love high-tech interfaces, the full touchscreen justifies the premium. But it’s a lifestyle choice, not a performance upgrade.
