Hi guys, decided to do a little first impression of the Voopoo drag as I really think this mod is a winner across the board!
Let's start with how I got it. I really wanted the black Voopoo with the blue and purple resin but after a whole lot of searching I could not find one in SA and VapeCon was around the corner so I didn't want to buy one online (I'm all for local is lekker and will support local products by choice)so I waited and to my amazement while scrolling through the Vendor Specials I found a perfect deal! However they didn't have the black ones in stock, nevertheless that deal was too good to miss over colour options so I went for it!
J&J's emporium had the VooPoo + a Serpent SMM(I've also been after this tank for a while) + batteries + Juice all for a very affordable R1250. They were even kind enough to add another 30ml juice, a pack of Streaky cotton and two silicone battery cases in there absolutely no extra cost.
Ok so that's out of the way now for the important stuff.
Firstly the packaging was really appealing and did it's job of protecting it's cargo well.
Next up was the contents which isn't much but I decided to snap a few pics just for those unbox therapy guys.
So first time in the hand and this mod is really heavy and boxed up but it's actually quite comfortable in the hand due to its super smooth surfaces and beveled edges. Clicky buttons and a rather simplistic yet classy looking mod was a big plus in my books.
The battery door has a slight rattle to it when there aren't any batteries in it but with batteries it's solid and those magnets are super strong (you can feel them pulling towards the mod from about 5mm away) so another plus. The battery tray is clearly marked, has a ribbon to help get your batteries out and the battery door has two insulation strips on it to help avoid a short.
In the box you will find yourself greeted by the mod itself then the bottom houses the USB cable, manual, warranty card and a gene chip card.
Insert your batteries and it comes to life with a bright screen displaying "VooPoo" followed by "Drag" then your home screen comes up with a simple layout. Battery indicator on the left, ohm reading and voltage then your wattage on the right. The screen is very bright and easily usable outside in direct sunlight.
The menu system goes as:
- 3 clicks of fire button to change modes(Wattage/TCR)
- Hold fire and up button for 1.5 seconds to lock/unlock
- Hold fire and down for 1.5 seconds to flip screen left or right
- Hold up and down simultaneously for 1.5 seconds to enter menu
- 5 clicks turns the device off
Now onto how it performs. I put on the Serpent with a 9 Wrap, 3mm Ni80 Haywire twisted flatwire and pulsed them to get rid of hotspots and make sure everything's in working order and was really impressed with the fire rate. It's so fast that it actually fires when trying to turn the device off or go through the menu!
Attach your atomizer to the mod and it asks if new coil or old and if new coil is selected then it will automatically recommend a wattage for you judging by your resistance. A neat feature although it's slightly conservative with its recommendation.
Taking a draw took some getting used to as I previously used a Smok Alien with a Merlin RDTA or a Smok Stick V8 RBA and those don't fire anywhere as quick.
This mod hits hard! On my alien I've got to bump up the power to reach the same voltage output and get the same hit.
Pros and cons are as follows:
Pros:
- Very appealing to the eye with its smooth matte finish and resin panel
- High quality in terms of look and feel
- Quite comfortable in the hand for a box mod
- Battery tray is well indicated, insulated and no rattle from battery door.
- Bright and fairly easy to read screen
- Fits in your pocket quite easily and besides the weight you don't really notice it.
- Super easy menu system.
- Stays cool due to choice of building materials.
- The ability to customize the logos and menus.
- Curve mode which I've just started using, basically lets you set your wattage for the duration of your draw in 1 second intervals.
Cons:
- Weight.
- 24mm Tanks have a slight overhang due to the beveled edges up but it's not much, about a millimeter on each side.
- Has one battery indicator.
- Subjective but would've liked to see some interchangeable panels for this mod.
Coupled with the Serpent SMM which is an epic RTA which features an effortless build deck, easy wicking, tons of flavour and clouds this device has really impressed me and I say it's lived up to every bit of hype the reviews give it. I will gladly recommend this to anyone looking for a mod at the R1000 mark because it's never left my hand since I've gotten it. It's not perfect and has its flaws but it's one epic mod to have.
On my way back to Durban I've been using this device non stop and it's consistent with each draw. The fire button has no delay and it never misses a beat. I have taken some pics at Harrismith which I will leave below and I've also left some pics of the Serpent and what comes in that box.

Will do a follow up when I've used it for a little longer.
