OXVA Xlim UNITECH 3.0 Replacement Pods

OXVA Xlim UNITECH 3.0 Replacement Pods come in packs of three, with a single resistance in each pack: 0.4Ω, 0.6Ω, 0.8Ω or 1.2Ω. Each is a 2ml top-fill pod with a built-in UNITECH 3.0 mesh coil, and they fit the Xlim kits listed below. These are the standard pods, not the ABT versions, and this page explains the difference.

If your pod has run its course, or you want a tighter or more open draw, this is where you choose the right one. Pick a resistance, check your kit against the compatibility table, and confirm the fit before you order. You can also browse the wider OXVA range of kits and pods.

What Are OXVA Xlim UNITECH 3.0 Pods?

UNITECH 3.0 is the name OXVA gives to the mesh coil built into these pods. The coil is part of the pod rather than a separate part, so when a pod reaches the end of its life you replace the whole pod. Each pod is filled from the top through a silicone port, so you can refill it without taking it out of the device.

Each pod holds 2ml, the UK TPD limit for refillable pods. Some international listings quote a larger figure, but 2ml is the capacity of the pods sold here. The four resistances cover two vaping styles: the lower 0.4Ω and 0.6Ω pods suit a more open restricted direct-to-lung draw (RDL, sometimes written RDTL), while the higher 0.8Ω and 1.2Ω pods suit a tighter mouth-to-lung (MTL) draw.

Standard UNITECH 3.0 or ABT Pods: What Is the Difference?

OXVA sells two closely related pod lines, and they are easy to mix up. Both use a built-in UNITECH 3.0 mesh coil. The difference is anti-burn. OXVA describes its Anti-Burn Technology, or ABT, as based on e-liquid-level detection, and it needs a dedicated ABT pod in an ABT-enabled kit such as the OXVA Xlim 4 Pro, also written Xlim Pro 4. The pods on this page are the standard version, without the anti-burn function.

Choose Your Resistance

Mouth-to-lung, or MTL, is a tighter draw taken into the mouth first and then inhaled. Restricted direct-to-lung, or RDL, is a looser draw with more airflow. Match the power range to the setting on your kit, and with a new pod start at the lower end of the range before moving up. If you are unsure, the 0.6Ω pod is a sensible place to start for an open draw, and the 0.8Ω pod for a tight one.

Which Xlim Kits Do They Fit?

Standard UNITECH 3.0 pods fit the Xlim family. Check your kit in the table before you order, because a small number of OXVA devices use different cartridges.

If you use a third-party device, check its manufacturer's pod compatibility before ordering.

How to Fill and Prime Your Pod

1. Fill. Open the silicone port on top of the pod and fill with e-liquid up to the line. You can do this with the pod still in your kit.
2. Close. Press the silicone port fully shut to seal the pod.
3. Prime. Wait around 30 seconds for the mesh coil to absorb the e-liquid before your first draw.
4. Start low. Begin at the lower end of the power range for your resistance, then raise it if you want a warmer draw.
5. Draw gently. Take a few gentle puffs first rather than a long, hard pull.

Leak Protection and Coil Life

The coil is built in and cannot be replaced on its own, so the life of the pod is the life of the coil. No pod is completely leak-proof, but most leaks come down to filling. Do not fill past the line, press the silicone port fully shut after every refill, and keep the device upright where you can.

Pod life depends on resistance, power and what you vape. Sweeter, thicker e-liquids and higher power tend to wear a coil faster. The signs it is time for a fresh pod are fading flavour, thinner vapour, or a burnt taste that does not clear after a refill and a short wait. There is no fixed figure, so replace the pod when performance drops rather than by the calendar.

Which E-Liquid to Use

Standard UNITECH 3.0 pods work with 50/50 e-liquid and nic salts. The tighter 0.8Ω and 1.2Ω pods suit those best, and nic salts are the usual choice for higher strengths in a tight draw because they feel smoother. The more open 0.4Ω and 0.6Ω pods typically handle higher-VG e-liquid better, though this depends on the liquid and your device, and lower nicotine strengths are generally more comfortable there because you draw in more vapour per puff. Browse our nic salt e-liquid range to match your pod.

Delivery and Returns

Add as many packs as you need to the same order as your e-liquid, remembering that each pack is a single resistance. Pods are a regular replacement, so many people add a spare pack to the same order and keep a fresh pod to hand. Options and timescales are on our delivery and shipping page, and if anything needs to come back, our returns page explains how. Every order is age-verified at checkout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between standard UNITECH 3.0 pods and ABT pods?

Both use a built-in UNITECH 3.0 mesh coil. The difference is anti-burn: OXVA's ABT pods work with e-liquid-level detection in an ABT-enabled kit, while standard pods do not have that function. Standard pods have the usual base contacts and no red mouthpiece ring, whereas ABT pods have four base contacts, an ABT base marking and a red ring.

Which Xlim kits do these pods fit?

Standard UNITECH 3.0 pods fit the Xlim family: Xlim 4, Xlim Pro 3, Xlim 3 Ultra, Xlim Pro 2, Pro 2 DNA, SQ Pro 2, Go 2, Go Lite, Classic, SE, SE 2, Pro and SQ Pro. They also work as a normal pod in the Xlim 4 Pro, without anti-burn. Check your kit's name against the compatibility table before ordering.

Do they fit the Xlim C or NeXLIM?

No. The Xlim C and NeXLIM use their own cartridges, so UNITECH 3.0 pods are not interchangeable with them. If you are not sure which Xlim you own, check the name on the device or its packaging, then match it against the compatibility table on this page before you order.

Which resistance should I choose?

Choose by draw style. The 0.8Ω pod (12-18W) and 1.2Ω pod (10-12W) give a tighter mouth-to-lung draw, the usual match for nic salts. The 0.6Ω pod (20-25W) and 0.4Ω pod (26-30W) give a looser restricted direct-to-lung draw with warmer vapour. If you prefer a tight, cigarette-style draw, start with 0.8Ω or 1.2Ω.

How many pods are in a pack and how much does each hold?

Each pack contains three UNITECH 3.0 replacement pods, all in the same resistance, so choose the resistance before you add to basket. Each pod holds 2ml of e-liquid, the UK TPD capacity. You may see a larger figure quoted on international listings, but 2ml is the capacity of the pods sold here.

How do I fill and prime the pod?

Open the silicone port on top of the pod, fill with e-liquid up to the line and press the port fully shut. You can do this without removing the pod from the kit. Then wait around 30 seconds for the mesh coil to absorb the liquid before your first draw, and start at the lower end of the power range.

How long does a UNITECH 3.0 pod last?

There is no fixed figure, because pod life depends on resistance, power, e-liquid and how often you vape. Sweeter, thicker liquids and higher power tend to wear a coil faster. Replace the pod when the flavour fades, vapour thins or you notice a burnt taste that does not clear after a refill and a short wait.

What e-liquid works best in UNITECH 3.0 pods?

Standard UNITECH 3.0 pods work with 50/50 e-liquid and nic salts. The tighter 0.8Ω and 1.2Ω pods suit those best, with nic salts the usual pick for higher strengths. The more open 0.4Ω and 0.6Ω pods typically handle higher-VG e-liquid better, depending on the liquid, and lower nicotine strengths tend to be more comfortable because you draw in more vapour per puff.

Can I replace just the coil?

No. The UNITECH 3.0 mesh coil is built into the pod and is not user-replaceable, so when the coil reaches the end of its life you replace the whole pod. The upside is simplicity: there is no separate coil to fit, so you simply swap in a fresh pod, fill it and let it prime.

Do UNITECH 3.0 pods leak, and how do I avoid it?

No pod is completely leak-proof, but most leaks come down to filling. Do not fill past the line, press the silicone port fully shut after every refill, and keep the device upright where you can. If a pod keeps leaking despite this, it may have reached the end of its life, so replace it.
