Product Reviewed: OXVA SlimStick Prefilled Pod Kit

Product Release Date: 15th September 2025

Reviewer: Nicole Akpata

Testing Method:

  • Duration: 7 days of continuous daily use
  • Liquids: OXVA SlimStick prefilled pods tested across the full flavour range (fruit, ice, tobacco and menthol options)
  • Airflow: Fixed airflow (MTL-style draw, no adjustable control)
  • Charging: Type-C 5V/1A via wall adapter; full charge time ~120 minutes

  • Environment: Heavy (chain) vaping to stress-test battery life and coil performance

We are delighted to review OXVA’s latest, innovative release: the OXVA SlimStick Prefilled Pod Kit. Straight out of the box, I was taken aback by the design alone.

Over the last week, I have been trialling and testing this kit and after seven full days of vaping, here is my honest opinion.

In this review, I will be reviewing this kit's key features, from design to flavour to battery life; no stones will be left unturned.

Key Takeaways:

 

So, what makes this kit stand out from the ever-growing range of prefilled pod kits? Or is it just the same as the rest?

Well, from just looking at the kit, you can see an immediate difference. The 2ml prefilled pod is shaped like a cig-a-like, which was one of the first designs of e-cigarettes. It imitates the design of an actual cigarette. The bottom half of this prefilled pod, which colour relates to the flavour chosen, is tucked into the device once inserted, whilst the other half (the white part) works as a mouthpiece and protrudes from the kit, which delivers a draw akin to the real thing.

In addition, the OXVA SlimStick pod kit is also fitted with a 1500mAh battery, which, by design, looks almost impossible due to its rectangular, slimline form. This only began to make sense over a series of days, where the battery lasted an unreal amount of time. It also features an LED indicator and intuitive vibration feedback, which most prefilled pod kits do not have.

Verdict:

Drum roll, The OXVA SlimStick has definitely won me over on many factors, and when lined up against some of its competitors, it does stand out quite a bit. My favourite thing about this kit is not only the shape but also the size. The battery capacity, being what it is, 1500mAh, is brilliant for my needs.

Over the span of a week, I chained vape this thing in so many different scenarios, whether it was on a night out with mates or at my desk, the battery life held up. I think it’s also worth mentioning the stick (mouthpiece) and the draw it delivered, which reminded me of the time I purchased my first cig-a-like. Nostalgic, to say the least. I’m sure my millennials and boomers will remember this.

Honestly, it’s a great option for smoking for smokers looking for a familiar mouthpiece and draw.

Build & Design

Weighing in at a mere 58g, the OXVA SlimStick is a light and compact prefilled pod kit that works alongside the OXVA SlimStick refill sticks. It fits in the palm of your hand perfectly. Without the stick inserted, your hand would completely conceal the device. When the stick is in, however, it does protrude a tad, revealing a cigarette-like shape that doubles up as the kit's mouthpiece.

Crafted from aluminium alloy, the SlimStick is extremely robust, which, for someone as clumsy as myself, is a key requirement. It also feels extremely comfortable and luxurious to touch; it is silky smooth.

The OXVA slimstick pods are reminiscent of a cig-a-like, but are instead half the size.

The bottom half of the pods is colour-matched to the flavour that they are. The flavour is also imprinted on them alongside the strength of the pod. There is a silver sticker stuck on before the white mouthpiece appears. Magnetic pins are at the bottom of the pods and click in seamlessly with extreme grip.

To finish off the design, the SlimStick is engraved with the OXVA logo and model of the kit, ‘Slimstick’. What a design!

How Does It Work?

You might be wondering how it works. The good news is, getting started is extremely simple.

  1. Firmly insert your chosen prefilled pod into the top of the Slim Stick device until you hear it click into position.

2. Once the pod is connected, the light will illuminate, confirming the device is ready for use.

3. The Slim Stick is activated simply by inhaling on the mouthpiece.

4. You will be notified of a low battery by the LED light and vibration feedback.

Battery, Charging & Performance

Integrated within the SlimStick is a 1500mAh battery, which, to me, was a shock considering how thin and compact this device is.

I used this kit for just over a week, and the battery alone would quite easily last up to 48 hours of usage before I needed to recharge the device.

I took this kit on a few nights out, mainly due to its portability factor and design, to be fair, not even considering the battery life. I can happily admit the battery lasted the two nights, but unfortunately, due to my chain-vaping antics, the 2ml included pod didn’t quite stretch both nights, which was a shame, but luckily for me, I had a spare pod, so it wasn't all doom and gloom.

I guess a potential drawback would be the time it takes to charge this prefilled pod kit. If you allow the kit to become fully depleted of power before you charge the device, it will take two hours (est.) to get back up and running.

Picture of SlimStick Usage Overview Chart

Flavour & Vapour Production

The OXVA SlimStick Prefilled Pod Kit is available in six flavours and six corresponding colours. Five of them are fruity flavours, great for users after great-tasting nicotine salt e-liquids, as OXVA is often highly praised for its flavour profiles. They didn’t just leave it there, because the sixth and final flavour of the range is Mint, which, again, is a key flavour needed in all ranges, especially for vapers who prefer a similar experience to smoking menthol cigarettes.

After trying all six from the range, here are my three standout choices.

My Favourite

Watermelon

I really enjoyed this flavour thoroughly; it was sweet and kind of reminded me of watermelon slices, which is my favourite candy. Most watermelon flavours on the market, especially in prefilled format, normally contain the addition of ice, and this didn't, so that was quite refreshing (not literally).

One That Surprised Me

Blueberry

I’m never normally into blueberry flavours, typically, as I normally enjoy quite a lot going on when it comes to flavouring; however, this blueberry flavour was quite punchy this time round. I couldn’t quite put my finger on what OXVA did differently here, but it worked.

One Flavour That May Split Opinion

Lychee Ice

Lychee e-liquids, in general, I feel can be a bit of a hit and miss situation in general. I often find lychee flavours in vaping form can taste a bit like purple violets, which again is similar to how people feel about, say, Marmite. It’s a love or hate type of flavour. I’d say it’s worth getting it a shot, nonetheless.

Nicotine Salts in 20mg

The OXVA Slimstick Prefilled Pod Kit is filled with 20mg of nicotine salt e-liquid, which is commonly found in a large majority of prefilled kits on the market today. Nicotine salts deliver a smooth experience and work to satisfy nicotine cravings almost immediately, which is especially ideal for newbies trying to kick the habit.

From personal experience, I would say nicotine salts are a large part and parcel of the reason I was able to quit cigarettes.

Who’s It For?

The OXVA Slimstick Prefilled Pod Kit, I would say, is great for all types of vapers. It is incredibly easy to use and features no fiddly settings or buttons; it’s as simple as inserting the pod vaping and then charging. It’s also extremely portable and lightweight, so it doubles up as a great backup kit for even an advanced user for nights out or holidays away.

If you’re as old as I am and remember the cig-a-like kits (the first type of e-cigarettes sold within the UK), the SlimStick is a great upgraded replacement for this. Even if it’s just for nostalgic reasons, the SlimStick serves a purpose.

Pros
  • Really good battery life - 1500mAh battery. It will last a while before a charge is required
  • 600 puffs per stick - same amount of puffs vapers would be used to if they had previously used single-use disposables
  • 20mg of Nicotine Salt will satisfy cravings, expect smooth satisfaction of even the strongest cravings
  • Each SlimStick pod has a mesh coil integrated, outstanding flavour and vapour production is a given
  • The design of the kit is slimline and portable to carry around
Cons
  • The battery does outlast the pods; it can get through two pods on a full charge. A refill container would have worked well to increase capacity
  • Only comes in 20mg, for users trying to decrease their nicotine intake, a 10mg option would help this
  • No choice of modes, one setting prevents users from tailoring the experience
  • No airflow control
  • Doesn’t include a battery display screen, only LED indicators and vibration feedback

My Verdict

We have reached the end of the review, and I guess now would be the time when the jury (me) stands and closes out the trial. So is the SlimStick guilty or not guilty for being an exciting new release? It’s absolutely guilty! I feel we need something a little different now and then added to the vaping market, as it can often become oversaturated with the same kit again and again.

It’s fitted with a 1500mAh battery, features LED indicators and vibration feedback, and I think it’s obvious to say, but the SlimStick’s design is innovative and nostalgic all at the same time; it blends old with new perfectly.

Overall Rating - 4/5 - Dainty yet efficient

FAQs

Unfortunately, it is not possible to refill the SlimStick with regular e-liquid as you would with a refillable kit. This kit comes with a SlimStick pod, which is already filled with e-liquid. All you will need to do is insert the pod into the device to begin vaping.

The integrated 1500mAh battery lasted me roughly around two full days of continuous usage. However, please note this is heavily dependent on habits and may last a shorter or longer amount of time.

Yes, the nicotine salt e-liquid is brought to you by OXVA and will be the same e-liquid found in their bottle ranges, just this time in a prefilled pod format.

Straight out of the packet, you will get up to 600 puffs from this kit, which we say should last you up to at least or day. Again, this is dependent on usage and habits.

Yes, the SlimStick is legal to vape within the UK as it is considered a prefilled pod kit that can be recharged and reused, as it can be charged, and it also has replaceable pods that can be swapped out, which we sell separately here at Vape Superstore.
