Hello again. You might have just seen my review on the Voopoo Drag S2. Well, I’m back with you to talk about the big brother of the S2 which is the new Voopoo Drag X2. This kit was sent to me by Voopoo just like the S2 kit in order to provide you with a fair and honest review. The main differences between the S2 and X2 is that the X2 does not have an internal battery but instead uses a single 18650 battery and has an output of 5-80 watts where the S2 only went up to 60 wattts. The X2 comes with the PNP X pod tank and coils just like the S2 did but the X2 comes with a .15 ohm coil and a .3 ohm coil where the S2 came with .2 and .3 ohm coils. It uses the same Gene TT 2.0 chipset so just like the S2 it has just three output modes.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:
The packaging for the Drag X2 is fairly simple but nice. There are the Drag X2 and Voopoo names on the front with a nice color picture of the actual device contained inside. As you can see, I received the Colorful Silver version for my review. It might be a little hard to show in a picture but the leather back on it has almost a different tint to it depending on how the light hits it. The back side of the box has the usual contents list, company information, and mine is marked as a sample.
The X2 has the Gene TT printed on the left side and the Drag X2 is stamped into the leather on the opposite side. The leather has a really nice V pattern stamped into it with nice stitching on either side. It really doesn’t feel like there is any padding under the leather.
The pod opening on the X2 is much like the S2 with it having the two torx head screws and the two spring loaded gold colored plated electrical contacts that transfer power to the coil. Just like the S2, I did notice some back and forth movement on the pod in the opening despite the magnets being strong enough to allow the user to pick up the mod and tank by lifting from the tank.
As I mentioned in the beginning, one major difference on the X2 is that it uses a single 18650 battery. I simply love that they decided to use a C frame design for battery loading. It is my favorite design. The battery polarity is clearly marked with the + symbol near the top and the – symbol on the bottom. The – contact is spring loaded. Battery insertion is very easy on this one. I’ve had some where it’s such a tight fit that it’s difficult to get the battery installed without damaging the wrap. The inside of the cover has the words “JUST DRAG” stamped into the metal cover.
The display and button operation are the same on the Drag X2 as they were on the S2 so I’m just going to copy and paste the information from my previous review in case someone didn’t read the other review. . The display clearly shows the following information.
The PNP X pod tank is the same DTL version as I received for the S2 review but this one is silver instead of black. The X2 kit comes with the PNP X pod that uses the include PNP X coils but is not compatible with the standard PNP coils. The coils boast four times as long vaping time, four layer leakage proof, and cost effective while 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 pod tank 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 X2.
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:
Once again it has been a pleasure reviewing the big brother to the Drag S2 which is the Drag X2. Just like on the S2, I would have liked the magnets on the pod to be a little stronger and would very much prefer a top fill pod tank. I did notice some side to side movement on this one also but the magnets are strong enough to lift the device by the pod without it coming off of the mod.
I started out with the .15 ohm coil for testing. Just like the .2 ohm coil on the S2, this one seemed to take most of a pod before the coil was broken in and started providing the type of flavor I’m used to from Voopoo coils. I ran this one a little lower than recommended at 55 watts but still got very good flavor and vapor production. I don’t know that it really matters but used a Molicel 18650 battery while testing this mod. I didn’t notice the drop in performance that I did with the S2 and the .2 ohm coil once the battery level got around 30%.
Next up I tested the .3 ohm coil which is the same as the .3 ohm coil that came with the S2. While testing both of the coils I used dinner lady blackberry crumble which has been a long time favorite of mine. The flavor came through very well and I honestly preferred the .3 ohm coil running around 37 watts which is within the recommended operating range.
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 X2 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 X2 mod has a fairly attractive appearance but I honestly would have chosen a different color on this one if given a choice. The display is the same as the S2 and clear and mostly easy to read except for the battery percentage. I very much like the C frame design for battery loading and found this one much easier to load the battery than some others of this design that I’ve tried. Overall, I’d call this one a winner and would recommend it if you are looking for this type of device.
I’d like to thank Voopoo and Hillary for sending the Voopoo Drag X2 kit for this review. Also a big thanks to the readers as always. Below is a link to the website for your viewing pleasure.
