    ► VooPoo Drag H80S Kit; First Impressions:
    • Premise. When I decided to produce two separate reviews for the new Drag E60 and Drag H80S Kits, I did it with the aim of presenting at my best two products with a completely different form factor and which also have different power maximum and different type of battery for power supply. However, many technical aspects between the two kits are undeniably identical. So I apologize if some points are taken up by my E60 review. I believed it was pointless to look for "turns of phrase" to explain the obvious with differently articulated sentences between the two reviews.

    As I announced in the previous Drag E60 review, I am pleased to talk about the second of the two new Drag that have been sent to me by VooPoo.
    Drag H80S is to be considered for form factor and design, the natural descendant of the lucky Drag X of 2020 which has sold remarkable numbers of Kits all over the world, and this device continues to be appreciated even today. There are several aspects that indissolubly bind the newcomer to the "elderly" progenitor. The use of a 18650 cell, the zinc alloy composition of the frame and the shape of the buttons have remained essentially unchanged. What substantially changes between the two Mods is the type of frame, now with "C" design and this involves a different insertion of the 18650 cell which now takes place on the back of the mod, separating the magnetic door from the frame. Another big news is the presence on Drag H80S of the evolved PnP II Pod vaporizer, shared with the little sister Drag E60. This new Pod PnP II system has allowed VooPoo to eliminate any type of protrusion from the frame for the regulation of the air flow which is now invisible and controlled by the rotation of the tank through an invisible, new and advanced mechanism. All this contributed to a generally more slender, modern, and clean appearance in relation to the progenitor. The updated GeneTT Chip features the "ECO" function with some other setting differences in combination with a slightly larger Display than the 2020 Drag. Below you can see the latest Drag's trio of wonders! The new H80S in the company of the phenomenal Drag with integrated battery, or the E60 and the Q for MTL. Finally an image of the H80S Kit housed in my hand.

    ► VooPoo Drag H80S Kit; Side and back view:
    The "Gray Carbon Fiber" color is the one that was sent to me for review. The name undoubtedly takes its cue from the sporty carbon look decoration, which surrounds most of the side panels and the entire area reserved for the grip (handle). This kind of decoration will not be an absolute novelty in the world of Vaping, but it is always captivating when it is present, and when it is well done. The frame is painted in dark gray which goes well with the black color and dark transparent material of the new circular Pod above. The lines of the H80S frame with the classic square shapes resume the lines of the ancestor Drag X. Towards the top you can immediately notice the absence of any AFC adjustment knob. The "windows" above the AFC slots are useful for viewing the last drops of e-liquid inside the new circular cartridge by VooPoo.

    ► VooPoo Drag H80S Kit; 18650 battery:
    The back (handle) shows the writing DRAG in large letters, moreover the handle is actually the removable magnetic door to access the internal slot where you can install a 18650 cell to power the Mod. The slot is made of resistant fireproof material heat and shows the shiny and very beautiful "Just Drag" writing. The lower spring loaded pin, then allows you to easily insert the 18650 cell, to extract the cell simply push it down and at the same time pull it to extract it from the slot. The flap with its tenacious internal magnets adheres perfectly to the "C Frame" of H80S and without abnormal movements.

    ► VooPoo Drag H80S Kit; Screen and control keys:
    The control panel includes; the classic circular Fire button, the Type-C charging port, the rocker of the "+ and -" adjustment buttons and also houses the generous colored display. The characters are clearly visible and bright as is the custom of VooPoo. The information shown on the display is numerous and apparently precise. The interaction between the Gene TT Chipset and the 3 keys allows you to have some rather interesting customized features and configurations.

    ► VooPoo Drag H80S Kit; Operation Guide:
    • Start / Shut Down Device: Quickly press Fire five times
    • Lock / Unlock Device: Press Fire and the "+" button at the same time
    • Menu Screen: Press the "+" and "-" buttons simultaneously to enter the settings screen, use the "+" or "-" button to select the setting option, then press Fire to confirm.
    • MODE: In the settings screen, select the "MODE" option and in the secondary screen, select: "SMART" or "RBA" or "ECO"
    • SMART: The PnP coil is identified, suggesting the best power to prevent the coil from burning due to a wrong and too high power choice.
    • RBA: User defined adjustable power in the range from 5W to 80W.
    • ECO: During the vape when only 40% of remaining battery capacity remains, the chipset sends a notification and asks you if you intend to activate the ECO mode. Then the device can enter the power saving mode to ensure maximum battery life. GENE TT then detects the corresponding setting providing the minimum energy to the coils for energy saving.
    • PUFF RESET: The number of PUFFs can be reset
    • ABOUT DEVICE: Displays information about the device
    • Charging: Supports 5V / 2A charging. It is recommended to use the Type-C cable provided by VOOPOO to charge the device.

    ► Software update:
    • Please fully charge the device before performing the update operation. Consumers can access VOOPOO official website (www.voopoo.com) to update the software to the latest version, the update requires the supplied specific Type-C cable to connect to the computer. The side of the Type-C cable marked "▲" must be facing right.

    ► VooPoo Drag H80S Kit; bottom and top view:
    On the bottom of the H80S there is a soft rubber coating that dampens the noise, it also offers grip to the Mod to stay steadily upright. This version (for revieweronly) is labeled "Sample". While the word "GeneTT", the brand and logo, will also be present on the devices that will be marketed by VooPoo.

    * Drag H80S's circular bay / pod (like E60's) has undergone a radical change. This consists of a rotating ring with 3 metal spurs, purposely created to fit into the toothed crown profile placed on the side / bottom surface of the new PnP Pod II. Basically, by rotating the cartridge you can adjust the flow of air that passes through two large opposing slots. This metal ring also acts as a classic magnetic base to keep the cartridge bound to the body of the mod. Below the swivel metal ring are the two gold-plated contacts. It is certainly worth applauding VooPoo both for the imagination and for the technical validity of this new air flow control system that results; pleasant to turn, precise to adjust and instills in the operator the feeling of a system designed in a solid and intelligent way.

    ► VooPoo Drag H80S Kit; PnP Pod II:
    The very light version II of the famous circular Pod by VooPoo most likely represents the beginning of a new era for VooPoo. This new vaporizer is compatible with Drag E60 Mod, but has no compatibility with any tank with a circular design previously produced by VooPoo. PnP Pod II features a mixed type of construction, made of ultra-strong plastic and PCTG. The Pod has an e-liquid capacity of up to 4.5ml. Its special feature of being an integral part of an innovative air regulation system does not deprive it of other important reinterpretations. The refill from above can easily be carried out without removing the cartridge from the Mod. The system uses a top cap with a quick 1/4 turn interlocking. To access the filling area, you need to squeeze the Drip_Tip between your fingers and turn counterclockwise. The two filling holes are small but elastic, they fit quite well with e-liquid dispensers with not too wide tips. The whole range of PnP coils can be used with PnP Pod II, including the new PnP Coils specially made by VooPoo for this new generation of all-in-one Drag.

    ► VooPoo Drag H80S Kit; Vaping test and final conclusions:
    The contemporary test of the Drag Kits H80S and E60 made it easier for me to choose the e-liquid, and if you have seen the previous E60 review you have surely read that I used "Crispy" which is a delicate natural Strawberry flavoring intertwined with a creamy flavor of Cereals and Cream. The composition on 100ml is as follows; 10ml of concentrated aroma + 90ml of base 70/30 VG-PG with 1.5mg / ml boost.

    • PnP TW15 Mesh-Coil of 0.15Ω Range 55-70W:
    This Pnp Coil is present only in this kit and can be purchased separately for the E60 kit. In Smart mode it is recognized and activated by the H80S GeneTT Chip at 65W while if you decide to use it on the E60 it will be activated at 60W for obvious reasons, because this is the maximum power of Drag E60. With Drag H80S and with SMART mode activated it can reach the maximum power which is 80W. The advice for a longer duration in time is however to not exceed the maximum wattage reported on the coil which is 70W. This is the "hottest" coil in every sense. Fantastic for flavor and fluffiness, however if you slow down too much you could really warm your lips too much. I use it with satisfaction at minimum power, that is 60W and with the AFC fully open. Excellent.

    • PnP TW30 0.3Ω Mesh-Coil Range 28-36W:
    This very interesting Pnp is the same that is present in the Drag E60 package and is the one that allows the greatest energy savings for a longer duration vape before recharging (E60) or replacing the cell (H80S). In Smart mode it is recognized and activated by the 35W GeneTT Chip and with SMART mode activated it cannot exceed 40W. The advice for a longer duration in time is however to not exceed the maximum wattage reported on the coil which is 36W. With AFC open to 100%, the production of steam is massive and the flavor is lost a little. I find it particularly profitable as a flavor and Hit with the AFC at 50% open . I have not noticed any particular condensation problems, so as with all other PnPs, it is enough to dry from time to time, I dried after 3 days of use without there having been large accumulations of condensation.

    In this case, the GeneTT Chipset interfaces with an external 18650 cell. The software always proves to be valid in managing the magnificent PnP Coils in the best possible way. The only caveat is that in case you decide to use the VooPoo PnP RBA base, you will have to make a resistance as close as possible to a predefined resistive value to get a reliable reading, because the resistance reading in this GeneTT is always rounded to default values (example 0.15, 0.6, 0.8). Furthermore, in the case of very high coil impedance, it must be considered that when the battery charge level is low, the circuit does not integrate the boost. During Vaping and when the battery reaches 40% of residual charge, the chipset will send you a notification asking if you want to switch to ECO mode, accepting the setting and clicking on "YES", GeneTT will calculate the right amount of energy to be sent to the coil, for lower battery power consumption. In practice, however, I have not noticed improvements in energy saving. However, the Fire button in combination with GeneTT and with the various PnP Sub-ohm resistors offers an immediate response to every solicitation with a truly excellent performance and with any battery charge level.

    I immediately liked this new Drag All-In-One for its aesthetics, materials, finishes and handling. Furthermore, the new PnP Pod II is a truly innovative vaporizer. The Mod is undoubtedly beautiful and cute and the Chipset is optimized for the use of the new PnP coils and is compatible with the entire PnP Coils platform. So if you like excellent PnP coils I can safely recommend the purchase of this fantastic Kit by VooPoo.

    Here if you want, find the review of the little sister Drag E60

    I would like to thank Nical and VooPoo for providing me with the kit. I hope this review was useful for anyone looking to purchase Drag H80S Kit.
    Thanks for reading.
