Hello and welcome. Today I’m going to try to cover the new Voopoo Drag S2 that was sent to me by Voopoo in order to provide you with a fair and honest review. The S2 is the next device in a long line of the Drag series of mods. I think by now most people have either tried or heard of the Drag series of mods. The S2 has an internal 2500mah battery with a power rating of 5-60 watts. Included with the S2 is the PNP X Pod cartridge that has a 5ml capacity and uses the new PNP X coils that claim to last for 100ml of liquid usage without losing flavor and are extremely leak resistant. The regular PNP coils are not compatible. It is my understanding that there will be an MTL and a DTL version available. I received the DTL version for this review.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:
The packaging for the Drag S2 has a nice colorful picture on the front of the actual device contained inside the box. Of course there are the Voopoo and Drag S2 names printed on the sleeve. As you can see, I received the Sky Blue version for this review which is a really nice blue color fade design. The back side of the box has the usual contents list, company information, and warning. Mine is marked as a Sample since it is a review sample.
Once the outer sleeve is removed then inside you will find the S2 sitting inside a plastic insert. The box that my sample arrived it looked like it had been dragged behind a truck and you might notice that the plastic insert on mine is broken and not holding the S2 in place properly.
Inside is the S2 with the PNP X pod and a coil already installed. Also included is a second coil, user manual, and USB-C charging cable. The installed coil does have a sticker covering the bottom the coil to prevent accidental firing prior to filling the pod. The two coils included with the S2 are the PNP X .2 ohm and .3 ohm coils. The .2 ohm is rated for 40-60 watts and the .3 ohm is rated for 32-40 watts.
I really like the appearance of the S2 that I received for this review. Blue is my favorite color and I really like the blue fade on this one. You might notice the white specks on the next two pictures. That is from it getting beat up in shipping and most of the specks are from the broken white plastic insert that it was sitting in. The back is covered in a lighter blue wrap that has nice stitching on it. On one side the Drag S2 name is stamped into the leather. There really isn’t any noticeable padding under the leather wrap but it is quite comfortable to hold.
The front of the S2 has the very familiar round fire button at the top that seems to be a trademark of the Drag series of mods. Below that is the .96” TFT display screen followed by the = and – buttons with the USB-C charging port underneath rated at 5V/2A. The S2 is powered by an internal 2500mah battery and controlled by the new Gene TT 2.0 chipset. The display clearly shows the following information.
The pod opening on the S2 is pretty normal and what I’m used to seeing on a device like this. There are two torx head screws holding the insert in place that the pod attaches to with magnets and the two plated gold colored contacts that transmit power to the coil in the pod. There isn’t an airflow sensor as this one is not auto draw. The S2 has a rubber pad on the bottom of the mod to make it more slip resistant when placing it on a table or desk.
The S2 kit comes with the PNP X pod that uses the include PNP X coils and is not compatible with the standard PNP coils. The coils boast four times as long vaping time, four layer leakage proof, and cost effective but not compatible with previous versions of PNP coils. The PNP X coils make use of thermos-stable cotton, mesh distributed heating system, patented four layer leak-proof design, and automatic production which improves reliability and quality.
I received the PNP X Cartridge DTL version but there is also an MTL version available. As I had mentioned earlier, the pre-installed coil has a sticker covering the bottom of the coil to prevent firing prior to filling the pod. There are four magnets on the bottom of the pod that are strong enough to allow the user to lift the entire device by picking it up by the pod. However I did notice some movement from side to side when inserted in the S2.
The top of the pod has writing printed on it stating that it is compatible with the PNP X coils. The pod makes use of top airflow which makes it virtually leak proof. I was a little disappointed that there is a rubber plug on the bottom of the pod which is where you fill it from. This means the pod must be removed in order to fill it to its 5ml capacity. I would have liked to have seen some sort of top fill with a removable cap or something where the pod could be filled in place. That being said, the rubber plug seems to be of good quality and is easily removed for filling.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
As usual it has been a pleasure reviewing yet another Voopoo device. The S2 performed very well while looking very nice. If I was going to make any changes it would be to make the magnets on the pod a little stronger and also to figure out a way to make the pod top fill instead of the bottom fill plug where you have to remove the pod to fill it. I was very impressed with both the PNP X pod and coils. I honestly didn’t run 100ml of liquid through either coil as I don’t vape large quantities of liquid that fast. Also in part to the fact that I received the samples a little late due to shipping issues that were no fault of Voopoo. The box that the samples arrived in looked like someone had dragged it behind a truck. I wish I had taken a picture to share. However, despite the plastic insert being broken, the S2 did work just fine. I was also sent a small fan in a nice case as a gift but the fan would not charge and only worked when plugged in. I’m guessing it was damaged in shipping. I will however show you a picture of the case and fan.
I started out by testing the .2 ohm coil in the PNP X tank. I used a 6mg guava green tea mix that I’ve used on and off for some time and am very familiar with. At first I didn’t think the flavor production was really very good. I was surprised as I’m used to Voopoo coils delivering very good flavor. It just took about 4-5ml for the coil to break in and started producing very good flavor. I don’t usually use Smart mode but decided to try it on this one. The smart mode set the wattage to 50 watts. This worked very well until the battery charge got down to about 30% remaining charge. At this point I could tell that the mod was not delivering 50 watts and the vapor and flavor had subsided some. At about 28% I decided to go ahead and recharge the internal battery. I didn’t time it but it seemed to charge fairly quickly.
The flavor and vapor production was still very good after about 350 puffs on the counter but needed to move on to the .3 ohm coil so I could finish testing and write the review. I decided to stay with the guava green tea mix and left the S2 in Smart mode. This time is selected 35 watts. I could turn it up as high as 40 watts before it told me I had reached the maximum setting for this coil. The 35 watt setting really seemed perfect from the beginning. I really didn’t feel like there was any break in period on this coil as the flavor and vapor production seemed very good from the beginning.
I did notice on these new coils that there are four o rings on each one where the old VM3 coils I have on hand only had one o ring. I honestly got zero leaking and no noticeable condensation the entire time I tested the S2 and PNP X pod tank. I was very happy with the performance of both coils. It might have been nice if the DTL tank had a removable drip tip. Only the MTL version, which I did not receive, has replaceable tips.
The S2 mod itself has an attractive appearance in my opinion while being comfortable to hold in the hand. The display is a very nice size and fairly easy to read. The only thing I had a little difficulty seeing was the battery percentage number beside the battery level indicator that was a little small for my eyes. I didn’t mind at all that the S2 had just the three basic modes of operation as I normally only use wattage mode anyway. It is good that it has the Smart mode for less experienced users. It could very well prevent someone from ruining one of the two included coils.
For this type of device, the Drag S2 is a winner in my book. I have minimal complaints that might not even be complaints to some. If you’re looking for a lightweight internal battery pod mod that delivers very good flavor and vapor production then I’d definitely recommend the Drag S2. I’d like to thank Voopoo and Hillary for sending the Drag S2 kit for this review. Also, a great big thank you to the readers that take the time to read my reviews.
