Whats New?
The XROS 4 kit is accompanied by one of Vaporesso's latest and most advanced pods, the 0.4Ω pod feature retains the COREX technology from is predecessors to ensure a smooth yet intense flavour(The XROS 4 device also comes with a 0.8Ω pod).
The device now allows you to adjust the output power to one of three settings(Low/Medium/High) when using the 0.4Ω pod and it is backwards compatible with the XROS pods from the previous devices. The SSS anti leak technology is still intact which will ensure minimal if not negligible leaking.
The latest COREX 2 pods are an upgrade to the near flawless COREX 1st edition pods, this time around you can expect 30% longer lifespan & 15% more vapour production. Vaporesso claim that the new COREX 2 refillable pods heat up faster than its predecessors and an upgraded cotton material has been incorporated to enhance the already premium flavour output. You have a vast range of resistances to choose from ranging from 0.4Ω - 1.2Ω.
Aesthetics
The XROS 4 retains its slim body and features a new front facing LED panel where you can change the output power to one of three options(Low/Medium/High) which in conjunction with the rear mounted adjustable airflow slider allows you to truly tailor your vaping experience as you wish.
Advanced Chipset
Vaporesso's XROS devices are formidable mainly due to their smooth and consistent vapor production made possible by its AXON chip, this time around they have introduced a 'Super Pulse' feature which maintains a powerful and uniform output regardless of the battery charge level. The 'Super Pulse' feature paired with the various aforementioned upgrades ensure that the end user experiences a premium and consistent vaping experience each and every time

Vaporesso have maintained the 1000mAh battery capacity and its 2A fast charge function allows you to fully charge the battery in as little as 30 minutes. This LED panel also displays the battery charge level with its associated colour(Green 100% - 70%, Blue 70% - 30%, Red 30% - 0%). The recent release of the XROS pro device garnered mixed reviews mainly due to its questionable battery life which seemed to be drained by its display screen, the XROS 4 has rectified this by incorporating a more battery friendly display.
