How to Use OXVA VPRIME 2: Setup, Settings & Troubleshooting
The OXVA VPRIME 2 gives you control over power, airflow and output mode, while supporting both Auto Draw and button firing.
This guide covers the settings that matter most in everyday use — from first setup and recommended cartridge settings to charging and common screen prompts.
How to Set Up Your VPRIME 2
Getting started only takes a few steps.
1. Power on the device
Press the fire button 5 times within 2 seconds.
2. Fill and install the cartridge
Fill the cartridge and make sure it is seated securely in the device.
3. Adjust the airflow
Open the airflow for a looser DTL draw or reduce it for a tighter draw.
4. Choose your wattage and output mode
Match the settings to the cartridge you are using.
5. Start vaping
VPRIME 2 supports both Auto Draw and button firing. The official device uses a highly sensitive airflow sensor for fast Auto Draw activation.
VPRIME 2 Button Controls
Most settings are controlled from the fire button.
| Action | Control |
|---|---|
| Change theme | Press 2 times |
| Adjust wattage | Press 3 times |
| Switch output mode | Press 4 times |
| Power on / off | Press 5 times |
| Reset puff count | Press 7 times |
| Lock / unlock fire button | Side lock switch |
When the side switch is locked, button firing is disabled.
Ecommended VPRIME 2 Settings
The new VPRIME Dual Mesh Cartridge is available in 0.4Ω and 0.6Ω versions.
The recommended settings differ depending on whether you are using Dual Mesh or Single Mesh output.
| Cartridge | Output | Wattage | Airflow |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.4Ω | Dual Mesh | 40–60W | Fully open |
| 0.4Ω | Single Mesh | 10–40W | 3/4 open |
| 0.6Ω | Dual Mesh | 35–50W | 3/4 open |
| 0.6Ω | Single Mesh | 10–35W | 1/2 open |
In Dual Mesh operation, the 0.4Ω cartridge delivers an experience roughly comparable to a lower-resistance 0.2Ω setup, while the 0.6Ω version is positioned closer to approximately 0.3Ω performance.
Can You Use Original VPRIME Cartridges?
Yes. VPRIME 2 is compatible with cartridges from the original VPRIME platform. OXVA also lists cross-generation VPRIME cartridge compatibility on the current product page.
There is one important difference:
Mode switching is unavailable when using original VPRIME cartridges.
If you want to use the new Dual Mesh / Single Mesh functionality, use the VPRIME Dual Mesh Cartridge designed for VPRIME 2.
How to Charge VPRIME 2
VPRIME 2 supports up to 5V/3A Type-C fast charging.
For the best charging performance:
- Use the supplied Type-C cable.
- Pair it with a compatible 5V/3A adapter.
- Lower-output adapters may charge more slowly.
- If the battery reading seems inconsistent, fully charge the device before checking its runtime again.
What Does “PLEASE VAPE” Mean?
PLEASE VAPE is part of VPRIME 2's accidental-press protection.
If button firing is enabled and you press the fire button without inhaling, the device may display PLEASE VAPE after around 2 seconds and stop output.
When using button firing:
Press the button while inhaling.
If PLEASE VAPE appears three consecutive times, the fire button can automatically lock.
To restore button firing:
Move the side lock switch to Lock, then Unlock it again.
This protection is designed to reduce accidental firing when the button is pressed unintentionally.
Quick Troubleshooting
VPRIME 2 Shows “NO POD”
Remove the cartridge, clean the cartridge base and device contacts with a clean dry cloth, then reinstall it securely.
If needed, test with another compatible cartridge.
VPRIME 2 Shows “SHORT”
Remove the cartridge and clean the contact points before reinstalling it.
Testing another compatible cartridge can also help identify whether the cartridge is causing the message.
Battery Draining Faster Than Expected
Battery consumption depends heavily on wattage, cartridge resistance and usage habits.
Higher-output setups naturally consume more power. Screen animations and frequent high-power use can also reduce runtime.
For consistent testing, fully charge VPRIME 2 using the supplied cable and a compatible 5V/3A adapter before comparing battery performance.
How to Keep VPRIME 2 Performing Consistently
A few simple habits can help:
- Keep the cartridge base and device contacts clean.
- Avoid allowing condensation to build up around the connection.
- Replace the cartridge when flavour or vapour noticeably declines.
- Match wattage and airflow to the cartridge you are using.
- Store the device and cartridges in a cool, dry place.
Final Thoughts
The easiest way to get a consistent experience from VPRIME 2 is to match the cartridge, wattage and airflow rather than using the same settings for every setup.
For the new VPRIME Dual Mesh cartridges:
0.4Ω Dual Mesh → 40–60W / fully open airflow
0.6Ω Dual Mesh → 35–50W / 3/4 open airflow
Once you are familiar with the button controls and screen prompts, everyday adjustment is straightforward.
