OXVA XLIM Pro V3 vs OXVA XLIM Ultra – Same Pods, Different Experience
OXVA have firmly established themselves as one of the most popular pod kit brands in the UK. Two of their standout devices are the XLIM Pro V3 and the XLIM Ultra. On paper they look similar, but in day-to-day use they appeal to slightly different vapers.
This comparison focuses on the things that actually matter: flavour, battery life, build quality, screens and overall feel.
Flavour Performance – Exactly the Same
Let’s get this out of the way early.
Both the XLIM Pro V3 and XLIM Ultra use the same XLIM pod system. That means flavour performance is identical across both devices.
- Same mesh coil technology
- Same wicking performance
- Same suitability for nic salts and 50/50 liquids
- No difference in taste or vapour quality
If flavour is your main concern, you won’t gain or lose anything by choosing one over the other.

Design & Build Quality
OXVA XLIM Pro V3
The XLIM Pro V3 is slim, lightweight and very pocket-friendly. It feels like a refined everyday device rather than something designed to stand out visually.
If you want something discreet and easy to carry all day, the Pro V3 does exactly that.
OXVA XLIM Ultra
The XLIM Ultra feels noticeably more solid in the hand. It’s heavier, more substantial, and clearly aimed at vapers who like a premium feel.
The highlight is the large, high-quality screen. It’s one of the nicest displays on any pod kit, with clear battery level, wattage and settings visible at a glance.
Build verdict: Pro V3 = lightweight and practical Ultra = premium feel with a standout screen
Battery Life – The Main Compromise
This is the one area where both devices fall short compared to some competitors.
- XLIM Pro V3: 1500 mAh battery
- XLIM Ultra: 1500 mAh battery
For moderate mouth-to-lung use, both will usually last a working day. However, if you’re used to newer pod kits with 1800–2000 mAh batteries, the difference is noticeable.
Performance remains strong while charged, but heavy users may find themselves reaching for a charger sooner than expected.
Battery verdict: Perfectly usable, but battery life is the biggest compromise on both devices.
Ease of Use & Controls
Both kits offer simple operation with draw and button activation, adjustable airflow, and straightforward wattage control.
- XLIM Pro V3 keeps things minimal and simple
- XLIM Ultra adds visual clarity thanks to the larger screen
Neither device is complicated, and both suit users stepping up from disposables or simpler pod systems.

Which One Should You Choose?
Choose the XLIM Pro V3 if you:
- Prefer a lighter, more discreet device
- Don’t care about a large screen
- Want the same flavour performance at a slightly lower price point
Choose the XLIM Ultra if you:
- Like a solid, premium-feeling device
- Want one of the best screens on a pod kit
