    Read Time: 2 Minutes

    If you prefer filling your own pods, 2025 is the biggest year yet for open pod systems. The battle for the top spot is heating up between Uwell’s Caliburn G4 series and Vaporesso’s XROS lineup.

    Here is the complete breakdown of the best devices you can grab right now at NYX Ecigs, plus the best e-liquids to pair with them.

    1. The Uwell Caliburn G4 Lineup (Flavor Specialists)

    Uwell has expanded the legendary Caliburn family with the G4 series, introducing touchscreens and "Pulse" modes to pod systems.

    • Uwell Caliburn G4 Pro: The new flagship. It features a massive full-length touchscreen, 35W max output, and the new "Storm" and "Waves" modes for customizing your hit.

    • Uwell Caliburn G4 Pro Koko: The box-shaped sibling. It packs the same high-tech touchscreen and 35W power but in a palm-sized, square form factor with a larger battery.

    • Uwell Caliburn G4 Mini: The stealth option. It strips away the screen for a minimalist design but keeps the same G-Pod platform flavor performance.

    2. The Vaporesso XROS Lineup (Reliability Kings)

    Vaporesso offers an XROS for every type of vaper. From simple sticks to high-tech gadgets, they all use the leak-proof Corex 2.0 pods.

    • Vaporesso XROS 5: Just Released. The newest evolution featuring COREX 3.0 technology for even longer pod life and faster charging.

    • Vaporesso XROS 5 Mini: The compact version of the new flagship, offering simple auto-draw in a smaller package.

    • Vaporesso XROS 4 Nano: The tech-lover's choice. It features a large circular screen, full wattage control, and the largest battery (1350mAh) in the XROS family.

    • Vaporesso XROS Pro: The first XROS with a 0.4ohm pod capability for restricted direct lung (RDL) vaping.

    • Vaporesso XROS 4: The balanced classic. Slim, adjustable airflow, and 3 power modes.

    • Vaporesso XROS 4 Mini: The budget-friendly hero. No screens or buttons—just fill and vape.

    3. The Heavy Hitter: Vaporesso Luxe XR Max 2

    If you want the power of a tank in a pod system, this is it.

    • Why we love it: It pushes up to 80W and has a massive 2800mAh battery, making it the only pod system that truly performs like a box mod.
