Hello and welcome to my second review for Voopoo. This time I will be looking at the Drag X Plus kit that was sent to me in order to do a fair and honest review. After testing the Drag 3, I had high hopes of the performance and operation of the Drag X Plus. Especially since the kit contains the same TPP pod tank and coils. The operation and function of this mod is similar to prior Drag X mods but there have been a couple of changes which I will talk about later in this review. For now, let’s go down and take a look at the features and what is included in the kit.
What’s in the box?
1* Drag X Plus Device
1* TPP Pod Tank 5.5ml
1* TPP-DM1 0.15ohm Coil
1* TPP-DM2 0.2ohm Coil
1* Type-C Cable
1* User Manual
Features:
1. Single 21700/18650 battery
2. 510 adapter
3. Brand new TPP system
4.Type-C charging
First Impressions:
I’ll start with the packaging. Just like the Drag 3, the cover slid off to expose the Drag X Plus mod and the same TPP tank that was included in the 3 kit. After lifting the insert to get the accessory box, I grabbed the tab to pull it out and it ripped the accessory box due to it being too tight of a fit in the outer box. Definitely the packaging needs improvement.
DRAG X PLUS mod:
I received the Prussian blue in the Drag X plus as well as the Drag 3 and think it is quite attractive. The buttons on this mod seem similar if not exactly the same as the Drag 3. You’re probably wondering by now what is different about this kit compared to the original Drag X. Well the first thing is the Plus has a 510 connection which makes it useable with any 510 threaded tank without an adapter. Also the Plus can use a 21700 battery as well as an 18650 battery. One other slight difference is the new “DRAG” badge located on the rear of the unit on the top. This new badge is supposed to be included on all future Drag models.
Facing the display side, you have the fire button that has no rattle on top with the display directly beneath that. Below the display is the + and – buttons with the USB-C charging port below that. To the right of the display there is just “Gene chip inside” etched into the metal. On the opposite side from that is the Voopoo name etched into the metal. On the rear of the unit there is the soft leather and “DRAG X” stamped in large letters with the word “PLUS” in much smaller letters below that. On top is the 510 connector held in with two screws and it has a spring loaded gold plated center pin. On the bottom is the battery door which has a single arrow indication which way to slide the cover in order to install the battery. It operates very easily. On the inside surface of the battery door it has a – symbol indicating how to install the battery.
The Drag X plus does contain the Gene Fan 2.0 chip for fast firing. There are two modes of operation which are Smart VW and RBA. If you’re not familiar with it, the Smart VW mode senses the coil resistance and automatically sets the wattage in the recommended range and limits you to that range. RBA mode gives the user full control.
The menu or button operation is fairly simple without a lot of bells and whistles. The button sequences are as follows.
- Press the fire button five times to turn the mod on and off
- Press the fire button three times to switch between Smart and RBA modes
- Press both buttons to switch between the two available display themes which are Core and Iron
- Press the fire button and the + button to lock the device. This unfortunately not only locks the adjustment buttons but also keeps the unit from firing.
- Press the fire button and the – button to clear the puff counter
The TPP Pod Tank:
Since the exact same tank and coils were included in the Drag 3 and Drag X Plus kits, I have copied the TPP tank information from Drag 3 review.
The TPP (Tank Pod Push) pod tank is somewhat similar in my opinion to the PNP tank. With differences being the removable drip tip and metal top cap. Also the TPP tank is 5.5ml capacity while the PNP is 4.5ml. The base of the pod has three strong magnets to hold it in place. The coils are a push in style just like the PNP tank coils were. On the bottom of the pod is also the rubber fill port plug. In my opinion, the fill port could have been a little larger. When installed, the coil sticks out about 1/8 of an inch or so in order to reach the electrical contacts inside the 510 threaded base that the pod sits inside of. There is a shoulder inside the base that the surface of the pod where the fill port is rests. I do wish that the top cap of the TPP tank opened for top filling instead of having the fill port on the bottom of the tank like the PNP tank had. One nice thing is that the tank is fairly transparent which makes filling and monitoring the liquid level much easier.
I did notice on the TPP tank that without firing and the airflow closed about half way that I did get a whistling sound. It isn’t obvious at this setting when firing but when closed down even further while firing there is a whistling noise. It’s not a deal breaker but I don’t much care for the noise. This being said, I doubt that people will run the airflow that tight with the included coils but can’t say that for sure. I tried it just to test it but tended to run either coils over half way open.
The new TPP coils are quite different in appearance as the opening on the sides is one large bone shaped opening on each side to allow liquid to saturate the cotton and the coil inside. The TPP mesh coils are supposed to maximize atomization surface and also improve the heating speed. I detected no delay between pressing the fire button and the time vapor was produced. I found the flavor produced to be quite good and have no complaints on that or the amount of vapor produced. That is especially the case with the .15 coil when I ran it at 60 watts. It could fill a room with vapor in no time. However, on the Drag X Plus, I did end up liking the .2 ohm coil at 45 watts the most.
Final Thoughts:
I did very much like the Drag X Plus while testing it. The hand feel is nice and it has a decent weight to it with the 21700 battery installed but it’s not too heavy. In my opinion, it has a very attractive appearance. The simple menu system makes it easy to operate for just about any user. Besides being able to use a 21700 battery, there was an 18650 adapter that makes it more versatile.
I very much liked the flavor and vapor production from the TPP tank and coils but in the end did prefer the .2 coil at 45 watts with the airflow about 2/3 open. The bottom of the TPP tank stayed dry the entire time with the .2 coil. I wanted to mention that because some users have had leaking issues with the PNP coils. It is nice that the mod can use any tank with 510 threading. Not only this but the base for the TPP pod tank can be used with the PNP pod tank.
Just like the Drag 3, the screen was plenty bright for me. I found the Core display theme easier to see the information on. Over all the Drag X Plus is really a decent mod even if you aren’t interested in using the TPP tank and coils.
Would I recommend the Voopoo Drag Plus? Yes I would. It’s really a nice size and weight for a 21700 mod and the TPP tank and coils perform well.
I’d like to thank Voopoo and Chloe for sending the Voopoo Drag X Plus for this review. Also, thanks to those that choose to read my reviews. Below is a link to the Voopoo website if you would like to take a closer look.
