OXVA Nexlim Pod Kit

The Nexlim pods are refillable and top-filling: lift the cap, drip your juice in and close it, no prising the pod out. The kit comes with a 0.6ohm pod for a warmer restricted-lung draw and a 0.8ohm pod for a tighter mouth-to-lung style, and the range runs up to a 1.2ohm for the tightest MTL. Each is a 2ml pod with the dual-mesh coil built in, so you replace the pod when it tires rather than rebuilding anything.

An airflow slider on the device fine-tunes the draw from tight to airy without changing the pod. For most people a 50/50 nic salt suits the higher-resistance pods, while a higher-VG shortfill works well in the 0.6ohm pod on Boost mode. That mix of dual-mesh pods, two modes, adjustable watts and adjustable air is what makes the Nexlim cover so many styles on one device.

There is very little to it, and the screen guides the rest. Fill the pod, let it soak, set the mode and power, and vape. The one habit worth keeping is giving a fresh pod a couple of minutes before the first hard pull so the coils wick and you avoid a burnt taste.

The kit is £20.99, and after that you only buy pods and juice. The dual-mesh pods last noticeably longer than a single-coil pod, so you swap them less, and ECO mode stretches each one further again. Fill it from a 10ml nic salt for a couple of pounds and a pod-full costs pennies, far below prefilled pods or disposables.

Against a disposable it is no contest: you buy the device once and then only pay for pods and juice, where a bar gets binned every couple of days. You bin far less, just a small pod now and then, and the longer-life coils mean even those go further. It is the same money-saving logic as any refillable pod kit, helped along by the twin-coil design.

The Nexlim is reliable, but a refillable with twin coils asks a little care. Most snags trace to a pod that has not soaked, the mode or airflow, or a juice that does not suit the pod.

Within OXVA the choice is mostly single coil versus dual. The Xlim Pro 3 is the slick flagship of the single-coil Xlim line with a bigger HD screen, while the Nexlim is built around twin-coil pods and the ECO and Boost modes for richer flavour and longer pod life. If you want the nicest screen and the established XLIM pod, the Pro 3 is the pick; if the dual-mesh flavour and the two modes appeal, the Nexlim is the more interesting device. They use different pods, so pick the system you want to stay in.

Against a disposable it is in a different league on cost, control and waste: you buy it once and then only pay for pods and juice. It is more involved than a sealed pod, but only a little, and the screen makes it easy. For anyone wanting big flavour from a compact refillable, the Nexlim is one of the more rewarding pods around, and it slots in alongside our wider sub-ohm vapes for the looser style.
