If you’re a recent convert to vaping, it might be difficult to explain how influential Voopoo Drag vapes have been on the industry since the first device in the series was introduced in 2017. Released in the age before mesh coils were common, the Voopoo Drag was the first vape mod that could make any high-end vape coil fire almost instantly. That feature was made possible by the revolutionary Gene chipset, which could make a coil fire in as little as 0.03 of a second – and later revisions of the chipset have gotten even faster.
The idea of a vape that doesn’t fire instantly might seem completely foreign to you if you started vaping after 2017. Before the Voopoo Drag, though, getting a decent cloud out of a high-end vape tank required a lengthy ramp-up process that took a few seconds. It was a fairly annoying process for people who didn’t keep their vapes in their hands in their hands and preheated at all times.
Although another company would certainly have developed a more advanced chipset for vaping devices eventually, the Voopoo Drag has the distinction of being there first. It helped Voopoo become one of the vaping industry’s top manufacturers. The Drag series remains a mainstay of the vape scene several years after its launch, and Voopoo always uses the series to highlight its latest technologies.
If you’re in the market for a new vape, we think you’re definitely going to be happy if you buy any Voopoo Drag device – and the decision won’t even be a particularly hard one. You can just buy the device with the biggest number at the end, since Voopoo has been kind enough to give their Drag vapes a logical numbering scheme.
You do have to make a decision, though, as to which specific type of Drag device you’re going to get because this series has grown to encompass much more than just the main numbered Drag vapes. There’s the Drag X series, the Drag S series, the Drag Mini series and so many others – and in this guide, we’re going to explain the differences between them.
Voopoo Drag Series
Products:
- Voopoo Drag
- Voopoo Drag 2
- Voopoo Drag 3
- Voopoo Drag 4
- Voopoo Drag 5
The numbered Voopoo Drag series was where it all began, and these devices continue to be Voopoo’s flagship vape mods. Using two removable 18650 batteries, the original Voopoo Drag had a maximum output of 157 watts. The wattage of the devices has increased steadily over time, eventually peaking at 177 watts. The Gene chipset has also been upgraded with each new device, becoming faster every step of the way.
Some of the improvements and new technologies that Voopoo introduced with subsequent entries in the Drag series include:
-
Voopoo Drag 2
- New FIT vaping mode that allows the device to automatically optimize its settings for flavor quality, cloud production or battery life.
- Significantly lighter and easier to carry than the original Drag.
-
Voopoo Drag 3
- New SUPER vaping mode gives an initial burst of power that kickstarts cloud production even more quickly.
- Faster 2-amp charging speed.
- Comes with a new pod-style tank that uses a simple push-pull coil replacement system.
-
Voopoo Drag 4
- New ECO vaping mode helps to preserve battery life without sacrificing cloud production or flavor. The ECO mode is enabled automatically when the batteries are low.
- Upgraded trim options include resin and real wood.
- New top-airflow tank operates in near silence.

Voopoo Drag Mini Series
Products:
- Voopoo Drag Mini
- Voopoo Drag Mini Platinum
- Voopoo Drag Mini Refresh Edition
The Voopoo Drag Mini series is intended to provide a traditional box mod experience similar to that of the main Voopoo Drag series in a package that’s smaller and lighter. The other key difference is that while the main Drag vapes use removable batteries, the Drag Mini vapes have built-in batteries. The Drag Mini vapes all support a maximum operational power of 117 watts.
Some of the improvements and new technologies that Voopoo introduced with subsequent entries in the Drag Mini series include:
-
Voopoo Drag Mini Platinum
- Features cosmetic improvements but is largely the same as the original Drag Mini.
-
Voopoo Drag Mini Refresh Edition
- Includes a new pod-style tank with a simple push-pull coil replacement system.
Voopoo Drag Nano Series
Products:
- Voopoo Drag Nano
- Voopoo Drag Nano 2
- Voopoo Drag Nano 2 Nebula Edition
With the Drag Nano series, Voopoo has brought the famed Drag name to the world of extremely small pod vapes. The Drag Nano vapes are designed specifically for high performance with nicotine salt e-liquid, and they’re small enough to wear on a lanyard around your neck. The Drag Nano’s chipset has a unique Cold Boot feature that automatically gives the pod a little extra power to kickstart vapor production when the device hasn’t been used in a while.
Some of the improvements and new technologies that Voopoo introduced with subsequent entries in the Drag Nano series include:
-
Voopoo Drag Nano 2
- Adjustment button allows the device to operate at three selectable power levels.
- Airflow slider allows for a tighter or looser draw.
- New pod features an antibacterial coating on the mouthpiece and a window that makes it easy to see when the e-liquid is running out.
-
Voopoo Drag Nano 2 Nebula Edition
- Has an updated appearance but is otherwise the same as the Drag Nano 2.
Voopoo Drag X Series
Products:
- Voopoo Drag X
- Voopoo Drag X Plus
- Voopoo Drag X Pro
- Voopoo Drag X2
Although we’ll be discussing the two series separately in this guide, you can basically think of the Voopoo Drag X and Drag S as being two halves of a whole. Although the two series ended up evolving in slightly separate directions, the Drag X and Drag S essentially started out as two variations of the same device. The Drag X uses a removable battery and has a slightly higher maximum power of 80 watts, whereas the Drag S uses a built-in battery and operates at up to 60 watts.
While the devices in the main Voopoo Drag series use 510-threaded attachments and are compatible with any vape tank, the Voopoo Drag X and Drag S use pods that essentially operate as sub-ohm tanks but are proprietary. Thanks to the single-battery design, these devices are extremely sleek and portable. You can think of them as pod mods or as very powerful vape pens.
Some of the improvements and new technologies that Voopoo introduced with subsequent entries in the Drag X series include:
-
Voopoo Drag X Plus
- Adds compatibility with 21700 batteries but still works with 18650 cells.
- Maximum power output is increased to 100 watts.
- Faster 2-amp charging speed.
- Has a 510 thread for compatibility with third-party tanks.
-
Voopoo Drag X Pro
- Includes an upgraded pod.
- Supports both button-based and puff-based firing.
- Faster 2.5-amp charging speed.
-
Voopoo Drag X2
- New SMART vaping mode automatically configures the device for the best performance with the installed coil.
- New ECO vaping mode conserves battery life without sacrificing vapor production or flavor quality.
- Supports the new PnP-X coil technology for longer-lasting coils.
Voopoo Drag S Series
Products:
- Voopoo Drag S
- Voopoo Drag S Pro
- Voopoo Drag S2
As mentioned above, the Drag S series is essentially the same as the Drag X series except that the devices have built-in batteries and operate at slightly lower power levels.
Some of the improvements and new technologies that Voopoo introduced with subsequent entries in the Drag S series include:
-
Voopoo Drag S Pro
- Battery capacity is increased from 2,500 to 3,000 mAh.
- Maximum power output is increased from 60 to 80 watts.
- New SMART vaping mode automatically configures the device for the best performance with the installed coil.
- Faster 2.5-amp charging speed.
-
Voopoo Drag S2
- New ECO vaping mode conserves battery life without sacrificing vapor production or flavor quality.
- Supports the new PnP-X coil technology for longer-lasting coils.
Voopoo Drag H Series
Products:
You can think of the Voopoo Drag H40 and Drag H80S as being like slimmer versions of the Drag S and Drag X respectively. The Drag H40 has a built-in 1,500 mAh battery and operates at up to 40 watts, and the Drag H80S uses a removable 18650 battery and operates at a maximum power of 80 watts. Although the devices in the Drag H series don’t quite hit the same power levels as the Drag X and Drag S, Voopoo’s new double-airflow design allows these devices to take in a huge amount of air with each puff. That allows both devices to offer extremely impressive cloud production despite their sleek designs.
Voopoo Drag M Series
Products:
You can think of the Voopoo Drag M100S as essentially combining the best features of the original Voopoo Drag series and the Voopoo Drag X series. This is a single-battery device that’s compatible with both 18650 and 21700 cells, and it has a 510 thread for compatibility with third-party tanks. Slim but powerful, the Drag M100S operates at up to 100 watts, which is more than enough headroom for today’s efficient sub-ohm tanks. The M100S also features some of the interface improvements that Voopoo has made with other recent Drag vapes, including a physical switch that can be customized to perform multiple functions.
Voopoo Drag E Series
Products:
If you combined the Voopoo Drag Mini and Drag S series, the Voopoo Drag E60 is essentially what you’d get. The Drag E60 is a compact box mod with a built-in 2,550 mAh battery. It operates at up to 60 watts, and it uses a proprietary pod rather than a 510-threaded tank. It also features many of the modern conveniences that Voopoo has added to their recent Drag devices, including the ECO vaping mode, fast charging and dual airflow vents.
Voopoo Drag Q Series
Products:
- Voopoo Drag Q
Released in 2022, the Voopoo Drag Q stands as a unique experiment that, so far, Voopoo hasn’t repeated. The Drag Q is designed specifically for mouth-to-lung vaping and has a number of features that MTL vapers will enjoy including a specialized airflow system and a narrow mouthpiece. The Drag Q also has a unique ticking dial at the top that adjusts the device’s airflow and power level simultaneously. The ITO coil system is designed to provide the flavor and airflow characteristics that MTL vapers prefer.
