The XLUX Roffu and XMax V3 Pro sit just 0.1 apart, 8.3 to 8.2, so this one comes down to what you want. Pick the Roffu for denser vapor, swappable chambers and the lightest pocket carry. Pick the V3 Pro if you want the lowest price, a wax cup in the box and slightly more open airflow.
Key differences
- Same family: both come from TopGreen, with convection heating, 100°C to 220°C in single-degree steps and a swappable 18650.
- Chamber: the Roffu swaps between glass and stainless steel chambers of about 0.15 g. The V3 Pro has a steel chamber of about 0.15 to 0.2 g.
- Shape: the Roffu weighs 96 g at 114.5 mm tall. The V3 Pro weighs 105 g and stands a slim 150.2 mm.
- Battery: 3200 mAh in the Roffu, 2550 mAh in current V3 Pro boxes.
- Heat-up: about 15 seconds on the Roffu, about 10 seconds to 180°C on the V3 Pro, XMax's rating.
- On-demand window: up to 45 seconds per press on the Roffu, 30 seconds on the V3 Pro.
- Screen: color display on the Roffu, OLED on the V3 Pro.
- Price: $129 US list price for the Roffu, $99 for the V3 Pro.
Vapor and flavor: the Roffu's two chambers
The Roffu scores 8.0 for vapor quality against 7.5, and it gave us noticeably denser vapor. Its glass chamber brings brighter terpenes with lighter clouds, and we like it between 175°C and 200°C. The steel chamber trades some terpene detail for thicker clouds, though spent cannabis darkens fast at the top of the range. A zirconia spiral cooling path keeps draws comfortable, and steady pulls of 5 to 8 seconds worked best.
The V3 Pro makes clean, terpene-forward hits for its price, with slightly more open airflow for direct draws and water pipes. Its short vapor path runs warm above 200°C, so a water pipe adapter is worth adding if you vape hot.
Size, build and daily carry
The Roffu scores 9.5 for portability against 9.0, and at 96 g it's easy to forget it's in your pocket. The V3 Pro is tall and slim instead, closer to a fat marker than a palm-sized vape.
Neither one is a build-quality standout, with the Roffu at 7.0 and the V3 Pro at 6.5. The Roffu's body warmed noticeably in back-to-back sessions, and its glass chamber wobbles slightly in the housing. On the V3 Pro, the buttons rattle a little and the magnetic battery door can pop off in a busy pocket.
Battery and session style
Both run on swappable 18650 cells, so a charged spare keeps either one going. XVape rates the Roffu at 20 or more three-minute sessions per charge at the top temperature, and the V3 Pro gave us about 7 in session mode. XVape puts a full Roffu charge at about three hours on a 5 V/1 A plug. The V3 Pro charges on the same 5 V/1 A USB-C and is slow from empty too, and neither runs while plugged in, so the spare is the real fix for both.
The Roffu's longer 45-second on-demand press makes it great for microdosing through the day. Its session timer runs 3 or 6 minutes, against 4 or 6 on the V3 Pro.
Price and value
The V3 Pro wins value clearly, 9.5 to 8.8, and costs $30 less at US list price. Its kit includes a wax cup for occasional concentrates, and dosing capsules made for the POTV ONE fit it too. Check what your Roffu seller ships, because XVape's US store sells a Lite Kit without the steel chamber. Street prices move, and the V3 Pro often sells well below its $99 US list price, so check the live prices above before you decide.
Before you pick either, look at the XMax V4 Pro, which scores 8.9 at a $109 US list price. It tops our best budget vaporizers ranking, where the Roffu also earns a spot.
