OXVA VPrime Review: 7 Key Specs on the 2,600mAh 60W Pod Kit (Dubai, 2026)

Overview

This OXVA VPrime review covers the original VPrime, still in our range alongside the VPrime 2: a 2,600mAh battery, 5–60W adjustable output, a 0.96-inch colour screen, 5ml top-fill VPrime cartridges with a 0.1 to 3Ω resistance range for MTL through DTL, a zinc-alloy body in IML or leather finishes and 5V/2A Type-C charging. It is sold in Dubai for AED 125 in eight finishes with VPrime cartridges at AED 35. It is a powerful pod mod with the biggest pod in the OXVA range, and this review looks at how its specs compare with the VPrime 2 that followed it.

Key takeaways:

• 5ml cartridge, the largest pod in any OXVA kit; a 2ml TPD version is also available.
• 2,600mAh battery with 5V/2A Type-C charging.
• 5–60W with a colour screen and a wide 0.1–3Ω coil range.
• AED 125, AED 5 less than the VPrime 2.
• Suits adults who want the big tank and 60W and do not need the VPrime 2’s UniTech pods.

About this review: specs, flavours and prices come from the manufacturer and our Dubai catalogue; we have not independently measured battery life, pod life or vapour output. Last updated: 29 September 2026.

OXVA VPrime Review: Design, Build and Display

The VPrime is a compact pod mod, 105.5mm tall, 37.8mm wide and 23.45mm thick, with a zinc-alloy frame and either in-mould-labelled or leather-wrapped panels, a 0.96-inch colour screen on the front with a fire button and two adjustment buttons, a side airflow control and a USB-C port on the base. The 5ml cartridge seats magnetically at the top with a flip-cap top fill. At around 110 grams it is a pocketable device, shorter and wider than the VPrime 2.

The screen is listed as showing wattage, battery, resistance and puff count, and the button layout gives direct control of output. Against the VPrime 2 at AED 5 more, the original has the bigger 5ml cartridge and a shorter body, and gives up 800mAh of battery, the UniTech dual-mesh pod platform, Smart Mode and a slightly higher-spec screen; against the VOOPOO Drag X2 at AED 140 it has a built-in cell rather than an external one. The leather and IML finishes give it a choice of looks that the VPrime 2 does not match.

Pods, Coils and Flavour Options

The VPrime uses 5ml top-fill VPrime cartridges at AED 35, listed in 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8Ω, with a 2ml TPD version for markets that need it. The 0.8Ω cartridge suits nicotine salt at a modest wattage and a closed airflow for MTL, while the 0.4Ω and 0.2Ω cartridges are aimed at higher wattage and an open airflow for DTL with a lower-strength freebase liquid. The 5ml capacity means fewer refills than the 2ml pods common in the class.

Cartridge life depends on the liquid, the wattage and the draw, and we have not measured it. The VPrime 2’s UniTech dual-mesh pods are positioned by OXVA as the newer platform, which is the main spec reason to consider paying the extra AED 5. Flavour comes from the e-liquid you choose. Our coil resistance guide explains what the 0.2 to 0.8Ω choice changes and our coil life guide covers what shortens it.

Battery and Charging Specs

The VPrime has a 2,600mAh cell charged at 5V/2A over Type-C with pass-through, and the screen shows battery percentage. That is a large capacity for a compact pod mod and, within our pod-kit range, only the VPrime 2’s 3,400mAh is bigger. Run time depends heavily on wattage: a cartridge run at 45W draws far more power than one run at 18W, so mAh should be read as capacity rather than a promise of hours. We have not measured run time or charge time.

For a vaper who wants a big tank and a big battery in a short body, the VPrime is the compact choice on paper; for comparison, the Vaporesso Luxe XR Max lists 2,800mAh and the OXVA NeXlim 2 lists 2,000mAh. Our pod kit battery guide explains how to read mAh against wattage and our UAE heat safety guide covers charging a big cell safely in summer.

Airflow, Power Modes and Draw Styles

The side airflow control covers a tight MTL to an open DTL, and the 5–60W range with a 0.1–3Ω coil window covers every draw style with room to spare. Wattage adjusts in 1W steps through the buttons and the screen; there is no automatic Smart Mode on the original VPrime, which is the VPrime 2’s addition, so you set the wattage yourself. A five-click lock is listed to prevent pocket firing.

For a vaper who has adjusted wattage before, the VPrime is straightforward; for one who has not, the VPrime 2’s Smart Mode is the spec reason to spend AED 5 more. Real-world output varies with cartridge, wattage, airflow and draw length, and we have not measured it. Our MTL vs DTL explainer covers the draw styles and our pod system vs box mod guide covers where a 60W pod mod sits between them.

E-Liquid and Nicotine Strength for the UAE

The VPrime is a refillable device and carries no nicotine; compliance depends on the liquid. In the UAE that means e-liquid at or under the 20mg/ml cap with the ECAS/MoIAT compliance mark on the bottle. For MTL on the 0.8Ω cartridge a 10 to 20mg nicotine salt is the usual match; for DTL on the 0.2 or 0.4Ω at 40W and above, a 3 to 6mg freebase is more typical, because a 20mg salt at that power is far too strong. Our UAE nicotine cap explainer covers the rule and our nic salt guide and freebase guide list the liquids we sell.

Because it covers both draw styles with a 5ml tank, the VPrime suits an adult who wants MTL salt now and the option of DTL later without buying a second device; our nicotine strength guide helps match strength to habit and draw. Nicotine is addictive, and vaping products are sold only to adults aged 18 and over under UAE regulations; the UAE’s tobacco provisions are published at u.ae.

Who Should Buy the OXVA VPrime

As this OXVA VPrime review of the specs shows, it suits an adult who wants the biggest pod OXVA makes, a 2,600mAh battery in a short body, 60W with a proper screen, and a finish the VPrime 2 does not offer, and who is comfortable setting wattage manually. It is a powerful pod mod that covers MTL to DTL and costs AED 5 less than its successor.

Skip it if you are choosing fresh and want Smart Mode or the newer pods, because the OXVA VPrime 2 lists both plus 800mAh more battery for AED 5 more, and our OXVA VPrime 2 review covers it. Skip it if you only vape MTL at low power, in which case the NeXlim 2 is the more sensible OXVA. Our pod mod guide and best pod kit guide cover the alternatives and the OXVA brand hub lists the full range.

Value, Running Costs and How to Buy in Dubai

At AED 125 the VPrime sits just under the flagship pod mods: the VPrime 2 is AED 130, the NeXlim 2 AED 125, the Vaporesso Luxe XR Max AED 135, the VOOPOO Drag X2 AED 140 and the Geekvape Aegis Hero 5 AED 170. Running costs come down to cartridge price, AED 35 each plus liquid, with cartridge life depending on wattage and liquid; the 5ml tank also suits buying liquid in larger bottles. Our disposable vs pod vs refillable comparison compares the costs over a year.

Comparison Table

OXVA VPrime vs OXVA VPrime 2

AED 5 apart. The 2 adds 800mAh, Smart Mode and the UniTech dual-mesh pods; the original keeps the 5ml cartridge and a shorter body. Big-tank buyers take the original; buyers who want the newer features take the 2.

OXVA VPrime vs Vaporesso Luxe XR Max

Both are 5ml-pod mods with big batteries. The Luxe XR Max lists up to 80W and 200mAh more for AED 10 more; the VPrime is shorter and cheaper. DTL-first vapers may prefer the Vaporesso’s higher ceiling; MTL-first vapers the VPrime.

Setting up the VPrime

Fill the 5ml cartridge through the flip cap, let the liquid soak into the coil for several minutes, seat it, and set the wattage within the range printed on the cartridge before firing. Close the airflow for salt liquid and open it for freebase.

Maintenance and cartridge care

Wipe the contacts occasionally and keep the device upright when filled so liquid stays clear of the coil ports. Our burnt-taste guide and leaking guide cover the common issues.

Verdict

On its specifications the OXVA VPrime remains a powerful pod mod with the biggest tank OXVA makes and a 2,600mAh battery, and it costs AED 5 less than the VPrime 2. Its successor lists Smart Mode, more battery and newer pods, so buyers who want those should spend the extra, but for anyone who wants the 5ml cartridge in a shorter body the original is an easy spec-based recommendation.
