XROS 5 Mini: Four lights flash 2 times and the device stops working
Written by Vape & E-Liquid Team Last updated
All four LED indicators flash together twice and the device shuts off and refuses to fire. This is the low voltage or over-discharging warning, meaning the battery has dropped too low to operate safely.
Why this happens
- Battery has been fully depleted through normal use without recharging in time
- Device was stored for an extended period without being charged, allowing the battery to self-discharge below a safe operating level
- Device was not turned off when not in use, draining the battery passively
How to fix it
- Connect the included Type-C cable to the device and plug the other end into a standard USB charger rated at 2A. Do not use a non-standard or high-wattage fast charger beyond the rated spec.
- Watch the LED indicators: they will flash in sequence from 1 to 4 lights while charging is in progress, confirming the device is receiving power.
- Leave the device to charge undisturbed. The manual advises not to leave a charging device unattended, so check on it periodically.
- Charging is complete when all four LED indicators stay on steadily rather than flashing. The device is now ready to use.
- If the LEDs do not respond at all after connecting the cable, check that the Type-C port and the connection pins between the battery and pod are clean and free from e-liquid residue. The manual specifically notes keeping these pins clean for best performance.
- If the device still shows no response after a full charge cycle, the battery may be damaged beyond recovery. Do not attempt to open or repair the device yourself. Contact Vaporesso support or return the device for assessment.
Replacement pods and coils
Worn pods and coils cause most of these faults. We stock the parts that fit the XROS 5 Mini.
Other XROS 5 Mini problems
- All four lights stay on then go off after ten minutes whilst charging Whilst charging, all four LED indicator lights illuminate and stay on, then go out completely after roughly ten minutes. The device has triggered its built-in over-charging protection.
- Four lights flash 3 times and the device stops working All four LED indicators flash together three times and the device cuts out. This is the built-in high-temperature protection activating to prevent damage.
- Four lights flash 4 times and the device stops working All four LED lights flash together 4 times and the device cuts out. This can happen mid-vape or when you try to fire the device.
- Four Lights Flash 5 Times and Device Stops Working All four LED lights flash together five times in quick succession and the XROS 5 Mini stops firing. This is the device's built-in protection responding to a low resistance or short-circuit reading at the pod connection.
- No lights come on and the device does nothing You press the button or draw on the device and nothing happens at all. No LEDs light up, no vibration, no vapour.
