Vaporesso's Xros 6 Mini and Innokin's Gozee Nex split on who sets the power
Reviewed six days apart by the same reviewer, one device offers airflow as its only setting and the other offers 6–60 W with no automatic mode. On one five-point scale, the scores went the way the format did.
By Staff, Pod & Coil
Two devices, six days apart, one reviewer. Vaping Post ran its Vaporesso Xros 6 Mini review on 7 August and its Innokin Gozee Nex review on 13 August. Side by side they put a question the category keeps answering both ways: how much of the power decision belongs to the owner.
One setting against a full dial
The Xros 6 Mini, per that review, has one adjustment. Airflow. No wattage control, no screen, an LED strip under the pod housing for charge, and a 0.6 ohm cartridge with the coil “sealed inside” it. Published figures: 1,600 mAh against the full-size Xros 6’s 1,800 mAh, 3 ml, 110.7 x 24.55 x 14.65 mm, 64 g, USB-C. On the interface, the only setting is the airflow, “nothing more and nothing less”. It came away with 4.9 out of 5.
The Gozee Nex goes the other way. A 3,300 mAh built-in cell, 6–60 W, adjustable in wattage mode only — no automatic or coil-matched mode at all. The mod measures 80.6 x 38.3 x 26.53 mm at 117 g, and the 3.5 ml Go Z Nex clearomizer ships with two coils: 0.8 ohm rated 15–18 W, 0.3 ohm rated 30–40 W. It scored 3.4. Both reviews are marked out of five and signed by the same reviewer, so the two numbers sit on one scale — though a compact pod and a 60 W mod kit are not one class.
The complaints are not the same class of thing
The Xros review’s one objection: no charging cable ships in the box. Irritating, and trivial.
The Gozee Nex complaints are structural. The clearomizer’s sliding cap is called “far too loose”, without enough resistance to prevent accidental opening. With no automatic mode, the reviewer writes that for a beginner “the risk of setting the power far too high is significant” — coils rated 15–18 W and 30–40 W under a dial that runs to 60. The kit “feels somewhat unfinished”.
What the trade actually is
Removing the dial removes a class of mistake and a class of tuning together. Keeping it keeps both. The Gozee’s screen reports the resistance it reads and the wattage set, but not which suits which; that pairing falls back to a figure printed on the coil.
Neither position is new. What is new is how confidently a fixed-coil cartridge device now ships with no electrical control at all, leaving one mechanical variable — a slider over an intake hole — as the entire adjustment surface. It runs alongside the other route to absorbing decisions: switching resistances inside a single cartridge rather than at the point of purchase.
Both carry built-in cells, not removable ones; the standing warnings about damaged wraps and loose cells belong to hardware that does take them.
