Battery
The Vaporesso XROS 6 wins on battery with its 1800 mAh cell against the Vaporesso XROS 5 Mini’s 1500 mAh, giving it more capacity per charge. It also supports a 5 A charge current versus 2 A on the Mini, though this comes with a slightly longer 20-minute time to 80% compared with the Mini’s 15 minutes, so the Mini still charges faster despite its lower current and smaller capacity.
Performance
Both devices share the same 30 W max output, so raw power is a tie. The Vaporesso XROS 6 takes the performance category on the strength of its variable wattage control, which the Vaporesso XROS 5 Mini lacks, giving users adjustment beyond fixed output. Coil resistance ranges differ too, with the Mini offering 0.4Ω to 1.2Ω against the XROS 6’s 0.6Ω/0.8Ω, but this is marked as no comparable data rather than a clear win either way.
Convenience
The Vaporesso XROS 6 is the more convenient device overall, helped by its display screen, which the Vaporesso XROS 5 Mini does not have, and its marginally lower weight of 65 g against 65.2 g. Both use Type-C charging and offer adjustable airflow, so those points are ties, and build material differs (aluminium body on the Mini versus plastic on the XROS 6) without enough basis to call a winner there.
The Vaporesso XROS 5 Mini suits buyers who want the quickest top-up (15 minutes to 80%) and a wider choice of coil resistances from 0.4Ω to 1.2Ω.
The Vaporesso XROS 6 suits buyers who want a bigger battery, a display screen, variable wattage control and faster charge current.
The verdict
Neither device sweeps every figure: the Vaporesso XROS 6 leads on battery capacity, charge current, screen, variable wattage and weight, while the Vaporesso XROS 5 Mini charges faster to 80% and offers a wider spread of coil resistances. Build material, coil options, battery type and charging port are too even or too different in kind to call. The right choice depends on whether a faster top-up or a bigger battery with more control matters more to the buyer.
