Hello and welcome back for another Voopoo review. This time I will be taking a look at the new Voopoo Vmate i2 which is being promoted as a “Looong Life Starter Pod”. It was sent to me by Voopoo in order to provide you with a fair and honest review. The i2 has increased the battery capacity from 900mah of previous versions to a whopping 1500mah. Included in this starter kit is one Vmate pod which is rated for 90 day coil lifespan and 30 days of leak-free use. The 3X upgraded pod works with all Vmate pod family products. The i2 has a long light bar on the side to indicate battery level and is auto draw only with no buttons.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:
The packaging for the Vmate i2 shows a nice color picture of the actual device contained inside on the front along with some geometric designs in the background. Of course there is also the Voopoo and Vmate i2 names printed in large lettering near the top. There is also a large 3X badge in the center indicating that the pod included is one of the 3X upgraded pods. The back side of the box has the usual contents list and company information. Mine has a large sample sticker on the back which is only for review samples.
Once the box is opened, the i2 is found sitting in a white plastic tray with the .7 ohm pod pre-installed. Also included is the user guide, information card, and USB-C charging cable. There is only one pod included in this kit. I’m going to sound like a broken record here but I really don’t like it when there is only one pod included in a kit for obvious reasons like what if the included pod is defective.
The Vmate i2 contains a 1500mah internal battery which is a 67% increase over the previous Vmate Infinity Edition which contained a 900mah battery. As you can see in my pictures, I received the Forest Green version. The body of the i2 has what I call a chevron type design on the body to give it a really nice appearance. On one of the larger sides of the i2, the Vmate i2 name is etched on the body. The adjustable airflow control is also on this same side. The opposite side of the i2 has the Voopoo name etched on the body and it has the same chevron design on the body.
The i2 is an auto draw only device with no adjustable power settings but instead automatically adjusts the output according to the resistance of the pod used. The side of the VMATE i2 is equipped with a 256-color RGB light bar: fully lit at 75%-100%, 3/4 lit at 50%-75%, half lit at 25%-50%, and 1/4 lit below 25%. Honestly, I really don’t care for this type of battery level indicator. To me the light bar brings too much attention to the user and is a little difficult to tell exactly where the battery level is. I would much prefer a single indicator light with three different colored indicators like what is found on many pod devices.
The pod opening on the i2 has the two spring loaded plated contacts along with the raised airflow sensor for the auto draw. There are no magnets used on the i2 or the pods. Instead the pods are held in place by a mechanical connection and there is a definitive click sound when the pod is inserted into the opening. The battery capacity is printed inside the pod opening of the device on one side.
The charging port for the 1500mah battery is located on the bottom of the i2 and is surrounded by a ribbed rubber piece.
The included pod with the kit is one of the 3X upgraded Vmate pods. These pods can provide users with long-lasting pure taste, a 90-day coil lifespan and 30 days of leak-free use. And this 3X upgraded cartridge works with all VMATE POD Family products. These pods are clear enough to allow the user to see the liquid level pretty easily. They are a side fill and make use of a standard rubber fill plug. I do like that the resistance rating of the pod is stamped onto the rubber fill plug to allow the user to easily see which pod they are using.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Overall I have enjoyed testing the Voopoo Vmate i2 pod kit. I feel like they did a really nice job on the design appearance of the body of the i2. It’s a really nice size without being too heavy and has a really nice hand feel. The 1500mah battery is a very much appreciated upgrade and it felt like the battery lasted forever with the included .7 ohm pod. The i2 for some reason only has a 1A charging rate so you’re looking at about 1.5 hours to completely charge the battery. I personally don’t care for the rgb light bar both on how bright it is and also how in my opinion it is not as easy as it should be to tell the battery level for a beginner. One last thing that is a con for me is that the kit only comes with one pod. That being said, I did experience very good flavor and vapor production with the included .7 ohm pod and felt like it was a great match for the increased battery capacity of the i2 to keep the user up and running for a long time for such a small device.
I’d like to thank Voopoo for sending the Voopoo Vmate i2 kit for this review. This is my final review for Voopoo. I have decided to take a break from reviewing for them in order to have more time to devote to my personal life. It’s been a great run with them and I am appreciative of their generosity over the past few years that I have been doing reviews for them. As always, a big thanks to you the readers for taking the time to read my reviews. Below is a link to the website for your viewing pleasure.
