Given the fact that the sale of vaping devices is legally allowed only to adults, vapers have the right to make their own decision about what liquids to vaporize and what devices to use. Therefore, it is not surprising that many manufacturers offer vapers a choice of traditional box mods and sub-mods, as well as compact POD systems and sub-mods. POD-systems format has become especially relevant in the last couple of years, as more and more vapers prefer to vaporize the liquid based on salt nicotine. Especially for such vapers company OXVA, which burst into vaping market with quite interesting devices, presented its own version of POD-systems – OXVA Xlim SQ POD kit, which is a logical continuation of the line of Xslim.
General Data
OXVA Xlim SQ POD kit is a compact POD system with a powerful battery compatible with Xslim cartridges for vaping with salt and organic nicotine. The format in which the device is released is not new, as it is a square device with a protruding mouthpiece, and a small size, so it does not take up much space in your pocket. The device is equipped with a simple chipset that automatically sets the working power depending on the resistance of the installed vaporizer. The vaper has all the cartridges used in the Xslim series devices, including 0.6/0.8/1.2 ohm resistance. You can buy OXVA Xlim SQ POD kit in nine colors, both traditional and original gradient.
Equipment
Despite the apparent simplicity, this POD system is packed pretty well, so many vapers will be happy with what the manufacturer has packed in the box:
– Xlim SQ Device battery pack;
– Xlim V2 POD 0.8 Ohm cartridge (pre-installed);
– Xlim V2 POD 1.2 Ohm Cartridge;
– USB Type-C Cable;
– Lanyard Chain;
– User’s Manual.

There are quite a lot of companies in the vape market right now, both well-known and little-known. Manufacturers who have recently started making vape devices, it is difficult to break into the top selling devices, as they have to compete with the “mastodons” of the market. But OXVA succeeded, and it is not clear whether it is because the main designer used to work at Geek Vape or because of interesting and inexpensive devices. But the fact remains that the devices from OXVA are in demand. Deciding not to rest on their laurels and take advantage of the popularity of previously released PODs Xlim series, the company presented OXVA Xlim SQ POD kit.
We can’t say that the design of OXVA Xlim SQ POD kit will impress you with its novelty or innovative ideas, because similar devices have been presented by other companies many times. But the form factor of a square with a protruding mouthpiece is in demand among vapers, especially since you can install a fairly powerful battery in a device of this plan. The device is quite compact – 68,5*47*14 mm. Its body is made of aluminum alloy, so it weighs 44 grams. There is an eyelet on the body for attaching the chain-tag included in the kit for easy carrying.
POD-system OXVA Xlim SQ POD kit is made in a fairly compact size, but this did not prevent the developers to equip it with a fairly powerful built-in battery capacity of 900 mAh, which will provide autonomy to work for two or three days. But the autonomy depends directly on the resistance of the installed vaporizer. Charging the battery is done using the USB Type-C connector located on the bottom end of the device, 1A current, so the charging time to 80% will be about half an hour.
The device is equipped with a simple enough, but at the same time “smart” chipset, which automatically selects the power of vaping depending on the resistance installed vaporizer – 0.6Ω (20-25W), 0.8Ω (12-16W), 1.2Ω (10-12W). The device is activated when you draw. On the side surface there is a tiny LED that changes its color depending on the battery level.
Xlim V2 Cartridge.
Many vapers will appreciate the fact that the OXVA Xlim SQ POD kit is fully compatible with cartridges produced for other Xlim series PODs, so you shouldn’t have any problems finding consumables. The cartridge is held in the battery pack by magnets.
There are three options for vaping cartridges with built-in grid vaporizers – 0.6/0.8/1.2 ohms, with the first option designed for alkaline nicotine liquids and freer draws, and the other two – MTL and salt nicotine liquids.
The device has an adjustable puff, implemented with a small slider located on the side of the device.
In order to refill the cartridge it is necessary to remove it from the battery pack, open the silicone cap on the side and pour in 2 ml of liquid.
Conclusions and impressions
Yes, OXVA Xlim SQ POD kit is a simple POD-system, but many vapers will find it very interesting because it is compact, versatile and standalone. It is safe to say that many people will definitely like this device, because it can be used with both salt and freebase nicotine liquids – just install the appropriate cartridge.
