XVape XLUX ROFFU

I'm currently using everything at home and wanted something small for traveling.
i have only just received mine, but so far i am really liking it. i got it for the same reason you seem to be interested in it - a good small vape for mobility. i am still waiting on my metal oven so can only speak for the performance with the glass chamber, but this already works pretty well with the dosing capsules. the capsules mute the taste noticeably, but that is to be expected. vapor is really smooth, though it does seem to require long draws, which may be a (convection-) battery vape thing, it has been a while since i used one. i have no idea how this would compare to the solo 3, but i am pleased this one feels quite different to my other regulars (vapman, vaphit, woodscents), it has an intersing signature and hits quite a bit harder than i anticipated.
overall i think this is excellent value. for my use case, dosing capsules on the go, it works just how i wanted it to. i am a lightweight, and can stretch a dosing capsule easily over many hours. i do use session mode as on demand, as i think the button placement is a bit weird for the intended on demand use. but if the battery is fresh it heats up really quickly to temperature, so i dont think it really makes a difference.

Hi,

I’ve ordered the Roffu in silver, along with the dosing capsules.
Unfortunately, I forgot to add the silicone sleeve to my order, and if I order it separately now, I’d have to pay additional shipping costs. I’ll contact the seller to see if they can still adjust the order.

Other than that, I’m really looking forward to the device. Of course, I’m not expecting miracles — I’ve built up a pretty high tolerance with the Ball Vape, Dynavap, and Solo 3.

But I think it’ll serve me well on the go, just enough so that I feel something :)
It’s not like I need to carry it with me all the time or be vaping all day — just every now and then.

I’m still really impressed by the design, and as long as the performance is decent, I’ll be happy.

Hi,

I have another question. I noticed that there are different accessory versions of the Roffu – Lite and Deluxe. From what I understand, the Deluxe version includes a metal chamber, while the Lite version does not?

I ordered my Roffu from this site:
https://www.vapowelt.de/Tragbare-Vaporizer/XVape-Xlux-Roffu/XVape-Xlux-Roffu-grau::3207.html

Based on the reviews, I think I probably received the Lite version.

I also read somewhere that using the metal chamber and dosing capsules can improve the experience.
Would you recommend ordering the metal chamber separately, or should I wait until my device arrives first?
Also, do dosing capsules work with the glass parts as well?

Thanks in advance!

It looks like you did order the Lite version. The capsules work quite well with the glass oven and they add some conduction to the session. Not sure if 'improves' the experience is the right answer, it changes the session to be more conduction than without and the metal oven adds a bit more conduction again. See how you go with the glass oven and grab the S/S oven later if you feel like a bit of a change and when you can add it to another order to save yourself some shipping costs. That said, if you purchased a tube of capsules, the tube can be cut down to make a few S/S ovens as it is the same diameter.:2c:

On the SS oven + dosing caps, as Les already mentioned it pretty much adds just a bit of conduction. I think it might help with a bit bigger clouds if that's your thing. And about the temperature, personally I go depending on the flower, if it's stickier/fresher I go higher temp, for dry flower I go lower temp, but either way I've had no problems going as far as dark-brown/nearly black AVB. Without stirring. Which is almost as good as the TM from what I've read.
If the flower is dry and you go 210-220 C, you can go dark-brown AVB in 2-3 hits (that is if you do long draws of course)
Cutting the tube and using it as an oven might work, but my tube for the dosing caps is noticeably thinner, not sure how will this affect temperature or if the oven will fall, just keep that in mind.
Now when I think of it, using caps with the glass oven might help with keeping the glass clean
I'm on ~1200 puffs on my new unit and so far I haven't washed it with water (probably sounds gross :D ), but the thing is with the dosing caps and the top screen removed, all I have to do is just wipe the CU parts with a paper towel while the device is hot every few sessions, and this removes like 90% of the tree sap-looking thing .. (what is it even called? it's like concentrate but not really)
Eventually I'll have to clean it with alchocol or water I suppose, but generally speaking maintenance is easy

Hi,

My Roffu arrived today, and as expected, it was the Lite version. But no problem :)

I have a question:
There was a plastic part in the glass chamber... It has to come out, right?
I only noticed when I wanted to put in my dosing capsule that it was too high... When I looked more closely, the white part is made of plastic.
If I take it out and just put in the dosing capsule, it fits without any problems.
What is this white plastic part for? And it has to come out, right?

It's not plastic, it's ceramic iirc.
It's the bottom of your "bowl" so keep it in, a little gap to heater cover is my pref but you can use it to adjust bowl size, which is nice.

Edit: you can indeed remove it when using capsules.

Oh, okay, ceramic, I already thought it couldn't be that it had to stay in.

But when I put it in, my capsule doesn't fit properly anymore. I tried to tweak it, but it's 1 mm too high on the right side.

With the ceramic part out, my capsule fits.

Is it okay if I use it without it? And only with the capsule?

That is ceramic... it was originally stainless steel but was upgraded to ceramic for improved flavour. You use it with ground herb and as you have learned, you can remove it for using capsules for a more flush fit.
It's not plastic, it's ceramic irc.

That is correct

Your choice

Yeah I found the little gap on the right actually didn't degrade performance but it annoyed me too much! lol

I think I read about new smaller caps that allow you to keep the bowl screen in? That would be convenient.

OK..

So, as I said, when it's in, the capsule doesn't fit 100%. On the right side, it's 1 mm higher.

I also can't get the ceramic part in perfectly anymore. There's a ring on the outside, and every time I try to put it in, the ring comes loose.

I only want to use the Roffu with the capsule anyway, so I can leave it out completely, right? Or are there disadvantages to having the capsule directly on the heating chamber?

Oh yes, of course I also have that strong plastic smell, which I expected... But that's not a criticism, because all my vapes had that smell at first.

What was your tip for getting rid of the smell again?

I think that seal on the mouthpiece is what smells like that...
Should I put the entire mouthpiece in the ISO?

I have one unit that I only use caps in and that has no oven disc (or mesh/disc above), just the grommet to stop the capsule rattling.
I only have the metal oven disc (no ceramic for me yet, I keep forgetting to ask for one) and there is no gap if I use the capsules similar to your picture above, but mine were from a V3Pro. I get a gap with the older machined XVAPE versions as they were slightly taller than the pressed XMAX ones I have.

That silicone is what some peeps smell, I used sunshine, some use Bi-carb soda, others iso, or all of the ones mentioned.
Should I put the entire mouthpiece in the ISO?
Some users ended up with cracked parts around the magnet in the cooling unit on early versions and it was though iso may be the problem so I have been soaking my OG as often as I can remember and have had no ill effects...it is still not officially recommended to do so...so I wouldn't while it is under warranty as it is never really needed as a wipe out with iso soaked q-tips is quicker and uses way less iso.

You can use just the capsules and remove all meshes/discs in the oven or over it, as Les said just the rubber grommet to stop the capsule from moving too much. Disadvantages? The only thing I notice after few years on my caps is that they get slightly darker color on the metal part right over the heater. But this is just visual, no degrade in performance. If anything, removing all of this stuff will help with airflow while using the caps.

On the smell - personally on my new unit I got the impression that most of the smell came from the heater itself. I haven't cleaned the cooling unit with ISO, if I remember correctly I only ran the rubber parts, cooling spiral + mouthpiece under hot water (in other words - I haven't cleaned the main CU part that some ppl report cracks on).
Few sessions on max temp, left it near a window so the air moves through it, even tried blowing air slightly through the intake hole (but make sure no saliva or anything goes in it).
On my first session with real flower I still smelled the rubber, on the 2nd-3rd session it was mostly gone.
After like the first 50ish puffs (so still just few days old) a friend of mine tried the vape with flower in it, I didn't mention any rubber smell on purpose - he didn't notice any weird smells either.

first of all, thanks a lot for all the tips.
Okay, I’ll use it without the ceramic part and with the capsule.
Regarding the smell, I’ll try the gentle method first — with hot water and sunlight. If that doesn’t help, I’ll use a bit of ISO.
I’ll only clean the mouthpiece, spiral, and the sealing parts — not the entire device
I don’t find the smell particularly negative anyway, since even my Solo 3 and other vaporizers had a bit of a smell at first... It usually fades over time.


I haven’t really tried the device yet because I want to clean it first, and I’m not in a rush since I only plan to use it on the go — and not all the time.
I have a fairly high tolerance from using the Ball Vape and Solo 3, so I’m not expecting the Roffu to knock me out.
But I’m sure I’ll still feel something when using it on the go.

Overall, the device makes a really good impression — excellent build quality.

And just as I hoped, it’s really compact, so I can use it discreetly outside.

I rinsed the mouthpiece with hot water and left it out in the sun for an hour — the smell was reduced by around 80–85%.
I also ran the device on high heat for an hour beforehand to help burn off any residue.

Then I decided to go straight for a test run. The capsule had about 0.1g in it.

The first draw was surprisingly flavorful. Even though the device is brand new, the taste was great right from the start. I was able to get another 5–6 good pulls before it was done.
The vapor production was impressive. I'm high most of the day anyway, so it's hard for me to judge the overall effect — but I have to admit, I felt something almost instantly. For both vapor quality and effect, I’d give the device a solid 10 out of 10.

At this price point, the device is an absolute bargain.

I also did a size comparison with the Solo 3, the Roffu, and a Vaporesso e-cigarette — and it’s crazy how small this thing is. But it’s not just compact — everything else about it is well-made too.
One thing to note: the device does get pretty hot after a 4–5 minute session. That’s really the only downside I found — but considering the price, it’s nothing to complain about.
