Hello and welcome to today’s review. This time I was asked by my Oxbar contact, Lina, to do a combination review on the new line of Oxbar nic salts by Rocky Vapor as well as covering the Oxva CRC versions of the Xlim Pro and the Xlim SQ Pro. So with covering all three of these, this review may end up being rather long so I greatly appreciate your patience and hope you are able to make it to the end of the review. For this review I was sent one each of the Oxva Xlim kits and two bottles of the Punch version of the Rocky Vapor/ Oxbar nic salts liquids at 20mg.
I will briefly cover both of the pod kits and then try to give my impression of the nic salts that I was sent. The Xlim Pro CRC version has a 1000mah battery capacity with an output range of 5-30 watts. The Xlim SQ Pro CRC version has the same 5-30 watt output range with a 1200mah battery capacity. Both have a charging rate of 5V/2A. These are basically upgraded versions of the original pro models with the new V3 pod cartridge which is child resistant. The CRC means that they have child resistant cartridges. That’s probably enough for now. I’ll show what comes in each kit and give my thoughts on them and the liquid that I was sent.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:
Both of the Xlim versions come in similar packaging. The base color for each is a nice shade of red with silver font for the name of each device. Each also has a clear viewing window that allows the user to see the actual device inside the box. I am a fan of this type of packaging where you can see the device. The back side of the box has a large warning printed on it which I really don’t feel like I need to share. The important stuff, the contents list, is on the side of each of the packages. I personally found it odd that the SQ Pro only came with one pod despite being a “Pro” kit while the Xlim Pro came with two pods. I am not a fan of kits only coming with one pod for obvious reasons.
Once opened, you can see the contents. Each comes with the device, V3 childproof pod cartridges, user manual, charging cable, and lanyard. I personally don’t care for lanyards but I know that some do. I really love the colors of both devices. The blue on the SQ is really beautiful. The finish on it almost has a soft feel to it. The black and gold combination along with the carbon fiber effect on the Xlim Pro is very attractive aesthetically also. Both do show some fingerprints though.
The V3 CRC pods are new to me. I have been a fairly long time user of the original Xlim Pro and was mostly happy with the V2 cartridges but did get some liquid seepage from those side fill pods. I was super excited to see that these new pods are top fill like my favorite pods from a different manufacturer that I’ve used a long time. The mouthpiece for these feel like they are rubberized. They are definitely softer than the previous version. If you bite down on the tip with your teeth then the tip does flex some. The tip is fairly easy to remove but not so much as to come off accidentally. You just pull the tip to the side to remove it for filling. I found it very interesting that the two fill ports are spring loaded so you have to push down on the bottle while filling and when you pull the bottle back then the springs release to seal the pod from any leaking. This is the childproof feature of the pods so that even if a child got the tip off, no liquid would come out.
The bottom of the pod has two magnets that securely hold the pod into the pod opening without worry of it coming out accidentally. It’s a really nice touch that the resistance and recommended wattage range is printed on the bottom of each pod cartridge.
The Xlim Pro and the Xlim SQ Pro have similar features. Both have a sliding airflow control on one side with the fire/menu button on the opposite side. The SQ has its charging port below the button while the Xlim Pro has the charge port located on the bottom. I usually lay pods down for charging so it really doesn’t matter to me whether the port is on the side or bottom.
