Voopoo DRAG S Review

Design & build quality

The Voopoo DRAG S boasts style and solid construction in equal measure.

Before we get into the nitty-gritty guts-n-bolts of the DRAG S, let’s just take a moment to appreciate the time that went into designing this beauty; showcasing a construction of metal alloy and leather, the vape has an extremely comfortable grip and never feels unwieldy or rough in the pocket.

Just up top you’ve got airflow with smooth control and down at the base we’ve got a Type-C USB port for charging – much faster than the traditional Micro USB and with a far sturdier charging port.

Three metal buttons dot the surface, with the obvious larger fire button cut with a slight thumb groove for comfort.

There is something about the Voopoo DRAG S which brings the Geekvape M100 Aegis Mini 2 to mind; perhaps it’s just the leather grip but the entire build screams “durability” from every angle.

Voopoo eschewing traditional glass tanks for the acrylic PnP Pod supports this idea, and we’ll take a closer look at those later.

The DRAG S houses an incredible 2600mAh battery; keep in mind that it is extraordinarily rare for a vape of this size, a POD VAPE no less, to have anything higher than 1000mAh.

What’s more, the unit has a wattage range of 5 to 60W; in terms of raw power and optimisation the DRAG S is outperforming industry favourites such as the Innokin Coolfire 4 and the SMOK RPM40.

The unit does have a bit of a heft to it, weighing in at 150g. Not pocket-destroying by any means, but heavy enough that you’ll notice if it’s missing.

Voopoo Drag S – How to use/button functionality

The button combinations on the Drag S are as follows:

• Powering on & off: Tap the fire button 5 times.
• Changing modes: Tap the fire button three times to change from ‘RBA’ to ‘smart’ modes. The DRAG S also lets you change between drag and button tap firing.
• Locking & unlocking the device: Hold the up button and power button at the same time.
• Clearing the puff counter: Hold the bottom button and power button at the same time.
• Puff counter: Hold both up and down buttons at the same time to display a graph that shows your puffs each day. This information is stored for two weeks.

Set the device time: Hold all three buttons simultaneously to set device time. You must make sure to do this for the puffs per day graph to be correct.

Voopoo Drag S pods/coils

Voopoo’s PnP Pod system challenges what you can expect from pod vapes.

Let’s get into the aforementioned PnP Pods for a moment, shall we? Held firmly in place via magnet ring, the pod is primarily constructed from a durable acrylic, granting full transparency and allowing you to always know what your e-liquid levels are at a glance while also preventing the pod from reaching uncomfortable temperatures.

Refilling is simple and fuss-free with the flexible hatch on the base, and for changing the coils it seems they took a lesson from the SMOK Nord’s pull-and-push simplicity.

The coils themselves are expertly constructed with mesh interiors so as to cut down on the likelihood of dry hits and burnouts, and come in a range of resistances from 0.15 to 1ohm.

There is an RDA attachment available for those with an enthusiasm for coil-building, with an additional power function designed specifically for the DIY masters out there.

If you’re not quite ready to get onboard the pod train, Voopoo intends to release a 510-thread adaptor in the near future, meaning you’ll be able to attach any number of tanks to the DRAG S’s substantial, compact battery.

Battery life & charging

2600mAh with rapid Type-C charging means the Voopoo DRAG S will never leave you wanting for long..

With the aforementioned 2600mAh internal battery you’re easily looking at a full day’s vaping, if not more.

If you tend to keep things in the 40-60W range you’re probably best to give it a charge every evening, but if you’re caught unawares there’s no need to worry – the DRAG S charges rapidly thanks to the Type-C charger, with the screen displaying how far along the charging process is.

Performance

Voopoo’s DRAG S boasts vast clouds without ever sacrificing depth of flavour.

It’s an incredibly flavoursome vape with the potential for vast cloud production, thanks in no small part to the huge airflow and brilliantly designed mesh coils.

You’ll find that they rewick pretty much immediately so you won’t have to wait long between big puffs. The button-fire activates in 0.001 seconds, so it’s a very immediate blast of flavoursome plumes.

The button-fire can actually be quite forceful, so if you’re a bit more moderate in your vape you might want to opt for the puff activation mode. You’ll find the DRAG S just as enjoyable even if you aren’t trying to unlock those hidden achievements!

The verdict

The Voopoo DRAG S is the vape of the summer; pocket size power in a stylish unit.

Buy Voopoo Drag S

The Voopoo DRAG S is one of the very best pod vapes we’ve ever had the joy to play with. It’s got something for everyone, though it must be noted that while higher resistance coils are available it is primarily designed as a sub-ohm cloud vape.

With an in-built power setting for RDA coils and the planned release of the 510 tank adapter, Voopoo have clearly built a machine designed to be future-proof.
