The OXVA ecosystem, documented

Which OXVA Device Should You Buy?

Fourteen ranges reduce to four questions. Answer them in order and the catalogue picks itself.

Question one: will you refill?

If the answer is no, the catalogue collapses to one line: the Slimstick, whose prefilled 20mg pods click in and out with zero liquid handling. Everything else below assumes you are happy to fill a pod.

Question two: how do you inhale?

Mouth-to-lung (draw, hold, inhale, like a cigarette): any XLIM or NeXLIM on a 0.8 or 1.2 Ohm pod. Direct-to-lung (straight down, big vapour): you need power, which means the VPRIME at up to 60W, or NeXLIM's 0.6 Ohm pod as a half-step.

Question three: how much interface do you want?

Question four: what is the budget?

Entry money buys the XLIM Classic or Go Lite; both are honest MTL devices with cheap running costs. The mid tier, Go 2 and Pro 2, is where value peaks. The Pro 3, 3 Ultra, NeXLIM and VPRIME occupy the top without straying into silly money.
