The XLUX Roffu is our travel convection pick in the budget vaporizers ranking. It weighs 96 g, heats up in about 15 seconds and swaps between glass and stainless steel chambers. We score it 8.3/10.
If size isn't your top priority, start with the XMax V4 Pro 8.9 : it scores 8.9 and costs less. The Roffu is the one to buy when your vape has to disappear into a pocket.
Built by XVape (the TopGreen brand behind the popular XMax V3 Pro), the Roffu pairs convection heating with a zirconia cooling system, a color display and interchangeable chambers, features you usually pay a lot more for.
The trade-offs are real: a 0.15 g chamber and average build quality keep it grounded. This vape rewards flavor-focused users and microdosers, not those chasing massive clouds from huge chambers.
What's in the Box
What you get depends on the kit. The full kit covers a lot of ground:
- XLUX Roffu vaporizer
- Glass chamber
- Stainless steel chamber
- Loading funnel
- Metal grinder
- 18650 battery with USB-C cable
- Carrying pouch
- Loading and stir tool
- Spare filter, O-rings and cleaning supplies
XVape's US store sells the Lite Kit, which drops the steel chamber, funnel, grinder, pouch and tool. Check what your seller ships before you order.
The smaller accessory set: alcohol wipes, O-rings, a spare filter, a brush, swabs and the USB-C cable.
The full kit's loading funnel is the standout piece. It clicks over the exposed chamber and channels ground cannabis straight in without spilling. More manufacturers should include one of these.
Anodized aluminum body weighs just 96 g
The Roffu measures 114.5 mm tall, 40.2 mm wide and 25 mm deep. That's shorter than most smartphones and light enough to forget it's in your pocket.
The Roffu fits in one hand: 114.5 mm tall and 96 g.
A color display covers most of the front panel, showing heating mode, target temperature and battery level, plus the timer in session mode. It reads fine indoors without being distracting.
Zirconia mouthpiece extends the vapor path
The magnetic mouthpiece is the design highlight. A zirconia lip piece sits on a zirconia spiral cooling unit, stacked with a filter, a silicone part and a cooling cap. The whole assembly lives under a magnetic ceramic top that snaps onto the body.
Zirconia has low thermal conductivity, so the lip piece stays comfortable in use. The spiral stretches the vapor path in a compact footprint, and the magnetic fit means no threading or twisting, so the Roffu comes apart in seconds. XVape builds the airflow path from ceramic and keeps it fully isolated from the electronics.
The magnetic top, the body with the glass chamber seated, and the bottom cover.
Build quality is average for the price. The body warms up noticeably during back-to-back sessions, and that's the first thing we'd change.
15-second heat-up delivers clean convection flavor
The Roffu uses convection: hot air does the heating as it passes through your cannabis. Our convection vs conduction guide explains how this differs from conduction and hybrid heating. Temperature spans 100°C to 220°C in 1°C steps using the up and down buttons. In session mode, a buzz tells you it's ready.

Two chambers create two distinct vapor profiles
The interchangeable chamber system is the Roffu's most distinctive feature. The glass and stainless steel chambers both hold about 0.15 g (XVape lists the chamber at about 1 ml) and drop into the heater in seconds once everything is cool. Lift off the magnetic top and the glass chamber sits right there, next to the Caution Hot label XVape prints on the housing.
Top off: the glass chamber sits in the exposed oven, ready to load.
Glass chamber: Brighter terpenes with lighter visible vapor. We like it between 175°C and 200°C, where flavor clarity matters most. One downside: the glass chamber wobbles slightly in the housing and the screen can shift during use, so handle it gently when you swap.
Stainless steel chamber: Thicker clouds with slightly muted terpene detail. Go easy at the top of the range in session mode, because AVB turns very dark very quickly up there.
The zirconia spiral cooling path performs well despite the short distance from chamber to lips. Draw resistance is low and comfortable, closer to a mid-range hybrid portable than a tight conduction vape. Steady pulls of 5-8 seconds produce the best results.
Best XLUX Roffu temperature settings
These are our starting points. Adjust them to your cannabis and your taste; our temperature guide explains what each range brings out.
| Setting | Chamber | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| 175°C to 200°C | Glass | Brighter terpene flavor with lighter vapor, our everyday range |
| 200°C to 220°C | Stainless steel | Thicker clouds with slightly muted flavor; in session mode the load browns very fast near the top |
Swappable 18650 battery and charging
The Roffu runs on a replaceable 18650 battery with 3200 mAh capacity. XVape rates it at 20 or more three-minute sessions at the top temperature. On-demand mode drains faster because it heats up again with every press.
The swappable 18650 cell. A charged spare keeps you going without the cable.
XVape puts a full charge at about three hours on a 5 V/1 A plug, or four to five hours on a 5 V/0.5 A one, and recommends more than six hours for the very first charge. Skip fast chargers: XVape says anything rated above 5 V/2 A makes the Roffu stop charging. XVape also says not to use it while it charges. Since the battery is swappable, carrying a charged spare doubles your daily capacity without downtime. Stick with the supplied cell or a replacement XVape approves, and keep spares in a protective case.
Exposed chamber and funnel simplify loading
Loading is quick. With the Roffu off and cool, lift off the magnetic top and fit the funnel if your kit has one. Fill the chamber with ground cannabis up to the edge, without packing it tight. You can also dip the glass chamber straight into your grinder and scoop. The exposed design is far easier to work with than recessed chambers on most portables.
The glass chamber scoops ground cannabis straight from the grinder.
A medium-fine grind works best for convection. Too coarse and air channels straight through without fully vaporizing the cannabis. Our cannabis grinding guide covers the right technique.
Session and on-demand modes suit different situations
The Roffu works as both a session vaporizer and an on-demand vaporizer. Press power five times to switch it on, and hold up and down together for two seconds to swap modes. Session mode heats to your target and holds for 3 or 6 minutes (hold power and up for two seconds to switch). On-demand mode heats only while you hold the power button, up to 45 seconds per press.
For microdosing, on-demand mode shines. Take 2-3 draws, let go of the button and the heating stops. Come back later for another hit from the same load. The color screen shows the mode, your set temperature and the battery level. Hold power and down for two seconds to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
On Demand mode on the color screen, with the set temperature and battery level.
With the Roffu on, press power three times to see the built-in puff counter. Cleaning is straightforward. Switch off and let it cool for at least 30 minutes, then soak the removable chamber, filter and zirconia cooling insert in isopropyl alcohol for 15 minutes and wipe them down. Keep the silicone part out of the alcohol, never pour liquid into the heater, and let everything dry fully before you put it back together. The glass chamber stains fast at high temperatures, so give it a quick clean after each session, as XVape suggests, and run a 2-minute burn-off at max temperature once everything is dry and back together. XVape's 12-month warranty covers the electronic base, not the battery, mouthpiece or other detachable parts.

| Vaporizer | Our score | Heating | Chamber | Swappable battery | Weight | US list price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XLUX Roffu | 8.3 | Convection | 0.15 g | Yes, 18650 | 96 g | $129 |
| XMax V4 Pro | 8.9 | Convection | About 0.15 to 0.2 g | Yes, 18650 | 120 g | $109 |
| XMax V3 Pro | 8.2 | Convection | About 0.15 to 0.2 g | Yes, 18650 | 105 g | $99 |
| PAX Mini 2 | 8.4 | Conduction | 0.5 g | No, built-in | 89 g | $150 |
| Arizer Air Max | 8.0 | Hybrid | 0.15 g | Yes, 26650 | 160 g | $219 |
XLUX Roffu vs XMax V4 Pro
The XMax V4 Pro is the Roffu's closest rival, and on our scores it's the better all-rounder: 8.9 against 8.3, with 9.2 for vapor quality against 8.0. It costs $20 less at US list price and adds 3-position airflow and a glass mouthpiece that fits a 14 mm water pipe.
The Roffu wins on size. It's 24 g lighter and about 43 mm shorter, which is why it scores 9.5 for portability against 8.8. It also takes two chambers, glass for flavor and steel for thicker clouds. Pick the V4 Pro for airflow control. Pick the Roffu when your vape has to fit any pocket.
XLUX Roffu vs XMax V3 Pro
The XMax V3 Pro 8.2 comes from the same parent company at a lower price. It's still on sale alongside the newer XMax V4 Pro, and it shares convection heating, a replaceable 18650 and dual session/on-demand modes with the Roffu.
The Roffu justifies the step-up with noticeably denser vapor, a color display and the swappable chamber system. The V3 Pro counters with a lower entry price and slightly more open airflow for direct draws.
Our Roffu vs V3 Pro comparison has the full verdict.
XLUX Roffu vs Arizer Air Max
The Arizer Air Max 8.0 costs more and takes a different approach: hybrid heating, glass aroma tubes and a bigger replaceable 26650 battery. Arizer rates it at up to two and a quarter hours of use, against XVape's 20 or more three-minute sessions for the Roffu.
The Air Max wins on battery life, glass-tube flavor and build quality. The Roffu wins on heat-up speed (about 15 seconds, against Arizer's rated under 60), weight and price. If speed and pocketability matter most, the Roffu is the better pick. For longer home sessions built around that glass-tube taste, the Air Max pulls ahead. The Roffu is the one you grab on the way out the door.

Who Should Buy the XLUX Roffu
Flavor-focused users on a budget who want convection terpene clarity without flagship pricing. The glass chamber delivers taste quality above this price bracket.
On-the-go vapers who want a light convection portable with a quick heat-up. At 96 g, the Roffu is pocketable and ready in about 15 seconds.
Microdosers who see the 0.15 g chamber as a feature. On-demand mode stretches a single load across several short sessions through the day.
Skip it if:
- You want bigger bowls. The 0.15 g chamber needs frequent repacking.
- You want to vape while it charges. XVape says not to, so carry a charged spare 18650 instead.
- You want adjustable airflow. The Roffu has none.
- You vape concentrates. XVape says not to use wax or oil in the Roffu.
- You like to finish bowls above 220°C. The Roffu stops there.
VapeExperts Verdict
The XLUX Roffu delivers convection flavor in a light, affordable package, and we score it 8.3/10. The dual-chamber system gives you real control over your vapor profile, and a 15-second heat-up means almost no waiting. Small chamber capacity and average build quality keep it from our top tier. Still, VapeExperts recommends it for anyone who values portability and taste over raw cloud production. If you'd rather have a bigger bowl and adjustable airflow for less, get the XMax V4 Pro instead.
