The Vaporesso XROS 4 Mini and Vaporesso XROS 5 Mini are compact pod vapes from the same product line, sharing a similar core feature set but diverging on battery and physical size. This comparison looks at what the spec sheet actually supports, without guessing at anything left unstated.
Both devices share the same max output, adjustable airflow, and lack of a display or variable wattage, so the real differences come down to battery behavior and day-to-day handling.

Battery
The Vaporesso XROS 5 Mini wins this category on every measured figure: its 1500 mAh cell outsizes the XROS 4 Mini’s 1000 mAh, it charges to 80% in 15 minutes versus 45 minutes, and it uses a faster 2A charge current compared to 1A. Together these numbers point to a device that spends less time on the charger and lasts longer between charges.
Performance
Performance is a tie. Both devices max out at 30 W and offer adjustable airflow, with neither supporting variable wattage or a display screen. The coil resistance options differ in count — the XROS 4 Mini offers 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω, while the XROS 5 Mini adds 0.4Ω, 1.0Ω, and 1.2Ω options — but this is marked as no comparable data, so it does not shift the tie in output-based performance.
Convenience
The Vaporesso XROS 4 Mini takes this category on weight alone, at 46.5 g versus 65.2 g for the XROS 5 Mini. That’s a meaningfully lighter device to carry or pocket day to day. Other convenience-adjacent specs, like charging port type and build material, are either tied or lack comparable data for the XROS 5 Mini, so weight is the deciding factor here.
The Vaporesso XROS 4 Mini suits buyers who prioritize a lighter, more pocketable device over extended battery runtime.
The Vaporesso XROS 5 Mini suits buyers who want longer battery life and faster charging, even at the cost of extra weight.
The verdict
Neither device comes out ahead across the board. The Vaporesso XROS 5 Mini is the stronger choice for battery life and charging speed, the Vaporesso XROS 4 Mini is the lighter and more pocketable option, and performance specs land in a tie. Which one suits you better depends on whether battery runtime or a lighter build matters more in daily use.
