Citrus, Coconut, Fruity, Ice, Menthol
What’s great about the Oxva Xlim Pro 2 DNA?
I like the interface, lots of coil options, even though I only use the 0.8Ω coil, very easy to use, especially with the Oxva Xlim EZ pods.
What do you like about Just Juice ICE Citron & Coconut Nic Salt?
It's nice and cool, and they managed to get the flavour correct. It's not my main flavour; I like to explore, but mainly fruity and menthol flavours.
Editor's Note:
This is a great combo, as the Xlim Pro 2 DNA comes with a massive 1300mAh battery, which will last you for days. Plus, with all the features built into the device, you’re going to have a fun time perfecting every puff. Nicotine salts are ideal for this vape kit, especially the 0.8Ω coil, as you’ll get even flavour and vapour production.

Ice, Pineapple, Pink Raspberry, Sour
What’s great about the Oxva Xlim Pro 2?
I like the brand, and it has a fair bit of customisation with really simple navigation and operating instructions. All in all, easy and reliable.
What do you like about Riot X Salts?
They have kooky and cool flavour combos, and it's pretty smooth to vape on MTL.
Editor’s Note:
The Oxva Xlim Pro 2 is just as great as the Pro 2 DNA, just without Flavour Replay and Anti-Burn Protection features. Other than that, it’s an excellent device, and seeing that Arjun is a weekend socialiser, this setup is perfect for the weekend when you’re looking for an easy-going vape that will deliver flavour and simplicity.

What’s great about the Lost Mary BM600?
It is very easy to use, and the pods are cheap to purchase.
What do you like about Pineapple Ice?
Ironically, I don't actually like pineapple, but for some reason, I am just hooked to this flavour; it has been my go-to flavour for over a year now. It just works for me.
Editor’s Note:
Classics like the Lost Mary BM600 never fade out of style; it’s easy to use and comes in plenty of tantalising flavours for both beginners and long-term users to enjoy. The replacement pods make it easy to try out different flavours and find a favourite, and as Jordan mentioned, they’re on the cheaper side, too.

What’s great about the SKE Crystal Bar 600 Pro?
Easy to use, has the only fizzy cherry flavour that tastes any good.
What do you like about Fizzy Cherry?
I've tried loads but can't vape for too long as it gets boring apart from fizzy cherry, that's why I keep coming back to it.
Editor’s Note:
Similar to the Lost Mary BM600, the SKE Crystal Bar Pro is the upgraded successor to its disposable version. There are plenty of flavours to choose from, and the price doesn’t deter beginners, allowing them to try vaping for the first time with a myriad of flavours to select from.

What’s great about the Elf Bar 600?
Super easy to use, only need to change the pod when the liquid has finished. Great flavour, matches the disposable flavour very well.
What do you like about Blueberry Sour Raspberry?
Matches the flavour of the disposables, great flavour throughout vaping, doesn't lose flavour either.
Editor’s Note:
As we can see, there’s a trend with these disposable vape alternatives that people like for their ease of use, price, and, most importantly, their success in replicating the taste and feel of disposable vapes.

What’s great about the Vaporesso XROS 4?
It's a very standard kit that takes little time to set up and refill. Most Vaporesso kits are very popular as they are super reliable and easy.
What do you like about your e-liquid choices?
I like to use a different variety of brands and flavours as I like to find the strongest taste. I prefer the sweeter and fruity flavours but as someone who likes to switch it up my main three would be ElfLiq, Elux and Riot.
Editor’s Note:
Maisie is your everyday commuter when it comes to her vape kit, something truly reliable that will get the job done to a high standard without interrupting your day. And as for her e-liquids, they’re all quite good choices; from top brands like those, you can expect truly mesmerising flavours that elevate the vaping experience for you.

What’s great about the Oxva Xlim Pro 2 DNA?
It’s probably considered a more premium option in the pod system game. Still, the features it packs into the form factor are absolutely outrageous. For one, you can set your perfect puff; it will remember that for consistent and easy vaping. You can’t forget the fact that you will never ever burn your pod by accidentally dry puffing this device, it’ll save you money on pods for real!
What do you like about Just Juice Bar Saltfill Lemon and Lime?
This is my favourite flavour, I believe Just Juice has the most consistent lineup for all of their liquids, all vape great, I really enjoy all of the Just Juice Bar Saltfills.
Editor’s Note:
As Kyle mentioned, the features the Xlim Pro 2 DNA comes with are helpful and can save you some money in the long run. The Anti-Burn Protection has definitely saved me from burning my pods a couple of times.

What’s great about the Oxva NeXlim Go?
Easy to use, no fuss switching pods, amazing cheap price for such big battery size and power. Pod sizes are great for a pod kit.
What do you like about Just Juice Bar Saltfills?
Amazing juice for pod kits, can be used with 1 or 2 nic shots to make it 3 or 6 mg and great flavours.
Editor’s Note:
As Brandon mentioned, the Just Juice line of Bar Saltfill e-liquids is ideal for pod vape kit users, especially those who prefer lower strengths, typically around 3-6mg. And from what we’ve seen thus far, they have pretty trustworthy flavour replication.

What’s great about the Vaporesso XROS 5?
It's cheap and easy to set up, no hassle when the coils burn, just easy to change the pod.
What do you like about Just Juice Bar Saltfill Dragonfruit and Raspberry?
I only vape this flavour, I've tried multiple fruity flavours in the past, and this one is really the only flavour I don't get bored with within a week
Editor’s Note:
There’s nothing left to say, Just Juice Bar Saltfills must be some outstanding vape liquids if this many of our employees are using them. If you’ve never tried it, it might be time to give them a go. As for the XROS 5, it is also a quite exemplary choice; it’s a customer favourite.
