    ► Drag H40 Pod Mod; First Impressions:
    DRAG H40 is quite a small entry-level device, yet its max output of 40W undoubtedly allows users to start their journey to DTL vaping. The 5ml e-liquid capacity and 1500mAh battery capacity should be enough to reduce users' concern for frequent cell and cartridge refills. The newly adopted Dual In One technology in VooPOo's PnP Coils greatly increases the vaping efficiency, and the adjustable AFC system will provide users with adequate flavor for both MTL vaping and DTL vaping. The small 0.56 inch OLED display effectively shows users all the main information. In the image below you can appreciate the small size of DRAG H40 compared to DRAG S, the original progenitor of this successful series.

    The tube form factor of Drag H40 Pod Mod is really user friendly and fits perfectly in the palm of your hand. With a base diameter of approximately 25mm the device stands steadily. On the bottom is the Type-C charging port. The Gene IA Chip supports 5V/1.5A charging and VooPoo recommends using the supplied cable. The internal 1500mAh battery takes about 70 minutes to fully recharge. With 28W of selected power I managed to make 325 Puffs before recharging the battery, and this seems like a really good result that confirms the goodness of the cell inside.

    DRAG H40 also in its new guise in the shape of a small tube reconfirms the classic design engraved on the handle of the DRAG series. The upper layer of leather largely embraces the perimeter of the device, the general appearance is cleverly interspersed with bare zinc alloy parts, furthermore the zinc alloy gives Drag H40 great strength, without affecting too much the weight which remains pleasantly light (only 79g). All this benefits the great portability and pocketability of the device.

    ► Drag H40 Pod Mod; How to use:
    On the front side of Drag H40 the "command bridge" protrudes in relief by a few millimeters compared to the body of the Mod and houses the control keys (Fire and Up / down) which are located respectively above and below the small but bright display.
    *The Chipset through the combinations of use of the Fire and Up / Down keys allows the following combinations:
    • 5 clicks on the Fire button to turn the mod on and off.
    • Press the Fire key and the UP key simultaneously to lock/unlock the Mod
    • To adjust the power in the range between 5 and 40W (in 1W steps per bush) press the "+" button or the "-" button.
    • Press the Fire key and the Down key simultaneously to reset the Puffs counter

    The Gene IA Chip also supports in this device two different power delivery modes which can be selected with 3 clicks on the Fire button to quickly switch between them. When the "Smart" mode is activated, the letter "S" appears on the display before the "W" symbol. When the "RBA" mode is activated, the letter "R" appears on the display before the "W" symbol.

    • SmartMode:
    Using the "Smart" mode, the chip identifies the PnP coil by automatically choosing the optimal power for it, avoiding the distracted user that the coil burns prematurely due to possible setting errors.

    • RBA Mode:
    Using the "RBA" mode the chip allows total freedom of power selection, this option can be useful when you decide to use the PnP regenerable RBA board that can be purchased separately.

    ► Drag H40 Pod Mod; Airflow control:
    The circular compartment / pod previously introduced with Drag E60 consists of a rotating ring equipped with 3 metal spurs, created on purpose to fit on the crown gear profile which is placed on the lateral / lower surface of the new PnP Pod II cartridge. The contact pins are located on the bottom of the compartment. I have not found the classic automatic breath activation sensor and I think it will not be present in the final device either. However, the precision of the Fire key with its ideal location at your fingertips does not make me regret this lack.

    Voo-Poo-Drag-H40-Pod-Mod-13.jpg


    The cartridge rotation mechanism inside the compartment/pod that I just described, allows the user to easily rotate the cartridge 360° to achieve the desired airflow without any additional additional steps. This regulation system gives the user the sensation of a system designed in a solid and intelligent way. The two vents are designed so that they can be adjusted one at a time independently, or both synchronously, meaning users can quickly get the switch from MTL to DTL with plenty of adjustment options in between on the grade. opening of the air flow. The metal ring also acts as a classic magnetic base to keep the cartridge firmly bound to the body of the mod. It is certainly worth applauding VooPoo both for the imagination and for the technical validity of this very valid air flow control system.

    ► Drag H40 Pod Mod; New PnP Pod II:
    The strong point of this cartridge (as I said before) is that it is an integral part of a new air regulation system. The PnP Pod II cartridge features a mixed construction type, made of ultra-strong plastic and PCTG. The Pod has an e-liquid capacity of up to 5ml. The new updated PnP Pod II cartridge was released by VooPoo on July 3rd. According to VooPoo, the previous devices (DRAG E60 and DRAG H80S) will also ship with this updated CMF Pod. A nice aspect is that the Drag H40 PnP Pod offers the possibility to replace the original wide mouth 510 DL/RDL Drip Tip, with the optional narrow mouth 510 MTL Drip Tip. Also you can install any other 510 Drip Tip. I want to thank VooPoo for sending me two replacement cartridges along with the precious original MTL 510 Drip tip.

    ► Drag H40 Pod Mod; PnP Pod II Refil:
    Compared to the previous RDL/DL cartridges supplied with Drag E60 and Drag H80S, there is a rather inexplicable small downgrade here, which consists in having abandoned the comfortable upper refill system for this version in favor of a more classic filling system of side/bottom type. In fact, now the e-liquid refill takes place by lifting the classic silicone rubber, this forces the user to remove the cartridge from the device to complete the refilling operation. However, if you prefer, you can use all previous versions of PnP pod-II cartridges for top-loading RDL/DL on the new Drag H40.

    ► Drag H40 Pod Mod; PnP Platforms:
    DRAG H40 therefore becomes part of the DRAG POD MOD family. The family includes 9 different products; DRAG H40, DRAG E60, DRAG H80S, DRAG S, DRAG S PnP-X, DRAG S Pro, DRAG X , DRAG X PnP-X and DRAG X Pro. All these Drag Mods with their different cartridges and tanks offer the user the choice of a large number of PnP coils with the only limitation due to the different maximum power that can be supplied by each of these devices. So the range of PnP coils also includes the new PnP Coils of the TW series which have been specially made by VooPoo for this new generation of Drag all-in-one. The new TW Series PnP Dual in One Coils according to VooPoo offer high atomization efficiency, therefore providing the user with rich flavor, delicate taste with maximized vapor clouds. The test results show that this type of coil could effectively atomize about 35ml (7 pods) of e-liquid before being replaced with a new coil without any loss of flavor.

    ► Drag H40 Pod Mod; Vaping Test & Final Conclusions:
    I used one of my favorite e-juices for this test, the "Crispy" which is a delicate natural Strawberry flavor intertwined with a creamy Cereal and Cream flavor. The composition on 100ml is as follows; 10ml of concentrated aroma + 90ml of VG-PG 70/30 base with 1.5mg/ml boost.

    • PnP TW30 Mesh-Coil 0.3Ω Range 28-36W:
    This very interesting Pnp is suitable for RDL / DL use and is the same that is present in the Drag E60 package. In SMART mode it is recognized and activated by the Chip Gene AI at 35W. However, the advice for greater durability over time is not to exceed the maximum wattage shown on the coil which is 36W. With the AFC open at 100% the vapor production is massive, however for my personal taste the flavor and the Hit increase exponentially with the AFC open at 50%. I haven't noticed any specific condensation problems. So as with all the other PnP-Pods, just dry the bottom of the compartment/pod from time to time; I dried after 3 days of use without there having been large accumulations of condensation.

    • PnP-VM3 Coil 0.45Ω Range 25-32W:
    The Chip Gene AI in SMART mode recognizes and activates this coil automatically at 28W and prevents you from selecting a power higher than 32W, avoiding possible burns of the cotton caused by carelessness. The 0.45Ω PnP-VM3 Coil allows greater energy savings compared to the previous one for a longer lasting vape, and if you are not a compulsive vaper the 1.500mAh internal battery will be plenty enough for you all day long. The PnP-VM3 Coil seems like the ideal choice to get a quiet and satisfying RDL vape, but you can also get a hot and aggressive MTL vape in the throat hit, full of flavor, and rich in clouds. This Mesh coil performs really well, activation is immediate. The Airflow System is able to perfectly calibrate the puff according to the user's needs. I like to use this coil with a selected power of 28W, also using the MTL Drip Tip and selecting the minimum power in combination with a small opening of the airflow I get a sufficiently fluid narrow delivery. I recommend (as always valid for all pod devices), to dry the bottom of the compartment with a cloth from time to time and not to leave the cartridge full of liquid inserted inside the Mod for too long.

    The positive notes, as I have extensively described during the review, are many; I like the Drag H40 Pod Mod, and while there's nothing revolutionary about its looks and form factor, it works a treat! I think this is a really nice little gem, well built and well made. Its purchase will certainly be economical, and will satisfy all those who want to use this kit with satisfaction in a wide field ranging from MTL to RDL / DTL.

    • Thanks to VooPoo for sending me Drag H40 Pod Mod for this Test.

    • Thank you for reading.
