If you’re in the market for a high-performance, stylish, and versatile vape kit that doesn’t cost the earth, the Voopoo Drag X3 might be exactly what you’re looking for.
The Drag series has been a fan favourite for years — and with the X3, Voopoo takes things up a notch in both looks and performance. But does it live up to the hype?
In this review, we break down everything you need to know about the Voopoo Drag X3 — from design and coil compatibility to battery life and flavour output.
🔍 Quick Overview
- Device Type: Sub-ohm mod
- Max Power Output: 177W
- Battery Type: Dual 18650 (not included)
- Tank: TPP pod tank (magnetic)
- Coils: TPP and PnP compatible
- Ideal For: Intermediate to advanced vapers
🔧 Design & Build Quality
Right out of the box, the Drag X3 oozes premium vibes. It’s got:
- A zinc alloy body with soft leather grip
- Sleek ergonomic design
- Bold branding that feels high-end without being over the top
- A solid magnetic pod tank that clicks into place
- A large, vibrant TFT colour screen
It’s chunky enough to feel robust, but the ergonomic shape makes it comfortable to hold — especially for longer vaping sessions.
If you liked the Drag X or Drag 2, you’ll love the X3’s refined style and lightweight feel (even with two 18650s loaded in).
🔋 Battery Life & Charging
The Drag X3 is powered by dual 18650 batteries, which means serious battery life for sub-ohm vaping.
- Expect a full day’s use at mid-wattage (40–70W) with heavy use
- It features USB-C fast charging if you’re caught without a battery charger
- Smart battery management and safety features built-in
Having removable batteries gives you the flexibility to swap and keep going — perfect for on-the-go vapers or those doing long days away from a plug socket.
💨 Performance & Flavour
This is where the Drag X3 truly shines.
With up to 177 watts of power, you can fine-tune your vape to perfection — whether you’re cloud chasing or going for a warmer, denser flavour hit.
It comes with Voopoo’s TPP pod tank, which uses their TPP coils — known for:
- Fast ramp-up
- Smooth, rich vapour
- Outstanding flavour reproduction
- Long coil life with proper priming
You can also use PnP coils with an adapter (sold separately), which gives this kit amazing versatility.
Whether you're vaping a sweet dessert or icy menthol, the Drag X3 delivers deep, clean flavour and satisfying cloud production.
⚙️ Smart Features & Modes
The Drag X3 is powered by the Gene.FAN 2.0 chip, which offers:
- Smart Mode: Automatically detects coil resistance and suggests the best wattage
- RBA Mode: Full manual control for rebuildable users
- Temperature control (TC) for advanced users (firmware updates may be required)
- Memory settings for saving your preferred vape styles
The UI is simple to navigate with tactile buttons and a responsive fire key. The colour screen is customisable and easy to read — even outdoors.
🔁 Refilling & Coil Changes
Refilling is super easy:
- Pull off the magnetic pod tank
- Open the silicone side-fill flap
- Fill with your favourite high VG e-liquid
- Pop it back on and vape
Coil changes are just as simple — push-fit coils drop in and pull out without mess or threading.
