    Hello again everyone and welcome to today's review from Voopoo on the latest full sized dual battery box mod as well as a new Pod/ tank also making its debut in this kit, I'm talking about the latest evolution of the Drag box mod and new Pod/ Tank called the TPP which is larger than the proven PNP tank giving the user 5.5ml of juice capacity. Users of Voopoo's dual battery Drag's have seen them evolve in different ways from the original Drag 157 and todays release is no different giving the user 4 modes of vaping and 1 of them is TC. As far as the TPP Pod/ Tank goes it's larger than the proven PNP and has a new set of coils with larger airflow and increased wattage ranges. Before I give to much away before the review let's have a look at one of Voopoo's new releases, the Drag 3 with the TPP Pod/ Tank and coils.

    FIRST IMPRESSIONS


    Opening up the package and sliding out the contents you are greeted with the Drag 3 Mod and TPP Tank sitting in a foam cutout with your charge cord, user manual,and 1 TPP-DM1 ( 0.15Ω ) and 1 TPP-DM2 ( 0.2Ω ) mesh coil inside a long rectangular box underneath them . You will notice in this picture the leather spine and sides appear to be of a rough leather but in fact the texture has a soft almost suede like feel to it making it very comfortable to hold in the hand.

    COILS AND POD/TANK


    As you can see in the contents of the kit, Voopoo has a new Pod/Tank called the TPP and it's juice capacity has been increased to 5.5ml from the PNP Pod/Tank, and with the new Pod/ Tank come new coils for it. The new coils are the TPP-DM2 0.2Ω and the TPP-DM1 0.15Ω and both are mesh coils with the 0.2Ω rated for between 40-60w and the 0.15Ω rated between 60-80w. The new TPP coils are considerably larger than the previous PNP coils and also have a larger diameter as well as the wicking surface also has been increased. Everything is the same as the proven PNP such as the airflow selector on the 510 adaptor base, connection method which remains strong magnets at the bottom of the Pod/Tank as well as the fill port still in the same spot at the bottom of the Pod/ Tank. You now have the ability to use your own drip tips if you wish, I have no problem using the supplied drip tip finding it to be comfortable to use. Below is a photo of the coils increased diameter as well as larger wicking material. One thing that I want to point out is that all PNP Pod/Tanks will work in the 510 adapter including the Voopoo RTA Pod/Tank. A last observation on the airflow is past halfway closed a slight whistle type sound develops, more whoosy sound than whistle though.

    BATTERY DOOR


    The dual 18650 battery door is located on the bottom of the device and seems to be a very secure door, I never had a accidental opening of it in the time I've used it. Battery polarity is marked on the battery door itself with a positive + and a negative - symbol, there is no marking for battery polarity inside the battery tubes. Although I don't recommend using any device as a battery charger the Drag 3 gives the user 5v fast 2a type-c charging if you are in a pinch with no battery charger handy.

    510


    The 510 of the Voopoo Drag 3 is located on the back side of the top of the device and any 24mm atomizer will work except a atomizer with a squonk pin in it of course. The 510 does have cuts in it that go all the way to the end so if you connect a atomizer to it that gets the air supply from the 510 you are good to go, also the 510 plate is very slightly raised and will help protect the finish of the top plate from getting scratches from atomizer bottoms.

    DRAG 3 FIT AND FINISH


    The look of this device is Drag box mod all the way and having really no sharp corners to it make it very comfortable to hold in the hand, even the corners themselves have a rounded feel to them. The SS frame kind of gives off a two-toned appearance with some parts looking brushed and accenting the device looks. There is very small branding of GENE on the body of the device. The material of the inner potion and spine of the device gives a feeling of suede leather and is very smooth with DRAG 3 embossed on one side and VOOPOO embossed on the other side. the very top of the device at the spine has DRAG stamped in raised lettering encased in a box. As you can see (very attractive).

    DISPLAY SCREEN


    The tradition of a big bright and vivid display screens of past Voopoo devices continues in one of their latest releases. The display screen is very bright being able to view it in direct sunlight and the lettering as well as numbers are very crisp and vivid as well as colorful no matter which 4 modes you choose to use with each having their own color. There is a TC mode that you will have to download in a firmware update from Voopoo's website that I have not done because I do not use TC in my vaping style only wattage so I can't tell you if TC has it's own color apart from the other mode colors.


    VAPING MODES

    SMART MODE - ( YELLOW COLOR )
    Voopoo gives the user a smart mode that limits the wattage that the user can increase to , only allowing wattage to be adjusted to the maximum wattage of the Voopoo coil that's being used so the user can't burn out a coil with too much wattage for said coil, another feature of smart mode is that Voopoo starts the user off with a suggested wattage for said coil, this is just a starting wattage for the user to begin vaping safely. you can rest knowing that in smart mode you won't burn out your coil prematurely. Smart mode allows the user to reach 80w maximum.


    20210126_132354.jpg


    RBA MODE - ( BLUE COLOR )
    In the RBA mode you can use your own atomizers and put the desired built of your choice and have a maximum wattage output of 80w, you can use RBA mode when using Voopoo coils for a different color screen but you will lose the suggested coil starting wattage recommendation.

    SUPER MODE ( RED COLOR )
    When in RBA mode when the user reaches 81w the display screen turns red in color and automatically places the device in super mode which allows the user to reach 177w maximum if the user chooses to vape that high, Also in super mode SUPER is highlighted at the bottom center of the display screen.

    DUAL UI THEMES


    I am very happy to inform you that Voopoo has kept the 2 themes used in previous devices, both look and operate fine but having a choice makes it nice especially for myself because although the Iron theme is a straight forward look of information on the display screen I prefer the Core theme because it is different from the ordinary looking screen that have been shown in the above pictures, below is the Core display theme screen.


    20210127_124525.jpg



    MENU

    * 5 presses of the fire button to turn the device on/off
    * 3 presses of the fire button to change modes
    * Press power and up button together to lock/unlock everything
    * Press power and down button together to clear puffs



    FINAL IMPRESSIONS AFTER USING THE DRAG 3 KIT


    20210125_140534.jpg









    Alright folks I've shown you the new device as well as new Pod/Tank and new coils and I have to say that I am a person that has had nothing but good things happen with every Voopoo device I've used and both of these will keep the streak alive for me. As i said earlier the device screams Drag full size very loud with a new attractive appearance.

    Having a comfortable device is half the battle on if you like it or not and the Drag 3 doesn't disappoint in the comfort department. Now TC users will be able to enjoy with a download from Voopoo's website, this is something that I don't use but many do and now they can enjoy the Drag 3 also.

    I find the new TPP coils and Pod/Tank to be good performers giving maybe a bit more flavor as well as juice capacity without leaking or seepage issues at all. the TPP Pod/Tank is a air lovers dream with clouds that will fill a room with just a few vapes. I applaud Voopoo for making this 510 adapter compatible with every PNP Pod/Tank so the user can have different Pods/Tanks filled with different juices and just pull one off and pop on another TPP or PNP.

    As far as super mode, well those wattages are way to high for my style of vaping but I do know 2 people that regularly vape at 150w and above so I guess there is a need for devices to reach those wattages and the Drag 3 can do it. I have only 1 con with this device , there still is no wattage only lock.

    So do I recommend the Drag 3 Kit, I will have to say that yes I do simply because it has performed flawlessly with great flavor that I've come to expect from Voopoo and they did not disappoint me with the Drag 3 Kit not to mention that in my opinion it's a very attractive kit. It seems that with each new device from them the bar gets raised a little each time.

    I would like to thank Chloe and Voopoo for providing the Drag 3 Kit for this review and I also hoped this review helped anyone looking to purchase the Drag 3 Kit.

    THANK YOU
