Zovoo DragBar Z700 SE Disposables
Hello again folks! Today we have a new disposable from Zovoo which is a sister company of VooPoo. The DragBar Z700 SE looks to be very similar to their Z700 GT disposables, but with a transparent tank allowing you to clearly see how much juice you have left. I will include in this review, a basic overview of their Z700 SE page and my experiences with 4 of the 6 DragBars I received. If you're interested in a better look at the device, head on over to Zovoo's site and take a look around. They have several different sizes if petite isn't your #1 priority.
I'd like to thank Fiona from Zovoo for reaching out to test the DragBar Z700 SE. As is always, this review will be conducted in an honest and fair manner.

Current Flavor Options (aligned with the photo above):
↪ Blueberry Pomegranate | Apple Peach | Banana Ice | Aloe Grape
↪ Blue Razz Ice | Strawberry Banana | Lemon Lime | Grape Raspberry Ice
↪ Drag Bull Ice | Green Apple Ice | Mango Ice | Cherry Ice
↪ Blueberry Raspberry | Triple Melon | Cola Ice | Strawberry Kiwi

Key Features (based on their site):
↪ Consistent Taste, No Flavour Decaying
For most cotton coil products, the more you vape, the worse the taste, while GENE TREE Ceramic Coil product taste lasting without decay. The refined taste is always the same, for a more consistent and enjoyable vaping experience.
↪ The Most Puffs Among The 2ml TPD Vapes
Based on the high efficiency and low consumption characteristics of GENE TREE Ceramic Coil, DRAGBAR Z700 SE brings longer vaping experience (700 puffs). Higher competitiveness among 2ml competitors’ product.
↪ Other points
DRAGBAR Z700 SE is the 1st fully visible oil tank disposable that allows changes in e-liquid capacity to be known at a glance. Enjoy the purity of every puff and start a safer and healthier vaping journey. Ultra-thin Design, Easy To Carry. Up To 50 Flavours, Always Something New.
I will touch more on my experiences with these features down below.
A couple of things to touch base with here. This device was released primarily in the UK, so the nicotine concentration is 2% (20mg/mL) to fit within their TPD regulations. While 2% is enough for me to get a nic overload very easily, it may not be enough for some of you. This would also be a decent product to step down from a 5% disposable if lower your nic intake is something you're interested in doing.
Also, the package sizes shown above are backwards. On the left is the "Mid-Pack" with 10x DragBar packages (2 disposables in each), and on the right is a "Single Package" which comes with 2 disposables in each.
Review Testing & Experiences:
The original release date for the DragBar Z700 SE was set at the beginning of March, but reviewers were reporting back that quite a few of their pods were leaking - so much that a few of the disposables I received didn't have any juice left in the pod. Zovoo reached out and sent 3 additional packages in response to address this issue. To me, that's a good first impression from a company I've never heard of.
I'm happy to report that from the additional 3 packages of disposables that I received, only a few of them had minor leaking in them which is fairly common with disposables in general. So, it would appear that they've curbed their major leaking issue. If you encounter a leaking disposable that hasn't dispensed all of the juice out of the pod, you can usually just wipe it off and continue vaping it. Even with pod and 510 devices, you can expect to lose a bit of juice here and there, so don't get disgruntle if there's a bit of moisture in the package.
The 3 packages you see on the left were the original products sent to me. The 3 packages on the right were the ones sent to me to address the leaking. They also noted that they were changing the release packages to look like the 3 boxes on the right - all yellow.

As you can see from these next groupings of photos, the design and aesthetic is quite petite. These disposables lay quite flat and are approximately 2/3 the thiccness of what you'd expect from the standard dimensions of any pod device currently on the market.
Each disposable is labeled with the flavor and nicotine concentration which is nice to see since quite a few of their Z700 SE's match in color.
There is an internal LED located just behind the "D" in the DRAGBAR logo that lights up when taking a puff. When the battery runs out of power, this LED will blink 3 times to let you know that it's reached the end of its life.

The airflow inlet is located at the bottom of the battery and the mouthpiece runs congruent with the battery making it very thin and comfortable to fit between your lips. If you're a gamer, you can stick this in your mouth and still be able to use both hands effectively. I wouldn't know anything about that, though.
The airflow in general is what I would consider to be a slightly loose MTL. You do feel a slight bit of resistence when drawing in, but it's fairly effortless - much like you'd expect from a VooPoo pod device. The nice thing about the location of the airflow being at the bottom is, you can cover the hole with your ring finger or pinky to adjust any increase in resistance that you might like for a tighter draw. I've been getting slightly better flavor this way.
One of the biggest things I noticed is that the juice capacity didn't line up very well with the battery capacity. Being that this product doesn't allow you to recharge the battery, what you get is what you get. There were probably 1/2 of the disposables that I vaped that still had what I'd guess to be about 50-100 puffs worth of juice still in the pod when the battery died. On the positive flip side, for the disposables that I did completely drain of juice, there wasn't any burnt flavoring that came through.
Basic Flavor Profiles (How I would best decribe them):
- Blueberry Pomegranate -
Blueberry 35%, Pomegranate 25%, Ice 40%
- Blue Razz Ice -
Blueberry 30%, Raspberry 30%, Ice 40%
- Pineapple Ice -
Pineapple 60%, Ice 40%
- Drag Bull Strawberry -
Dragon Fruit Redbull? 30%, Strawberry 30%, Ice 40%
All of the disposables that I've vaped for this review have done a great job of being fairly luscious in flavor and consistent which supports their claims with the Gene Tree ceramic coil. It's difficult to distinguish the ratio of flavors vs. ice (menthol), but I will note that the ice dominates the inhale, while the other flavor profiles are most noticeable on the exhale.
I put a question mark under the Drag Bull Strawberry, because I'm not entirely sure what that flavor is supposed to be. After googling it, the only thing I could come up with is Redbull's Dragon Fruit flavored energy drink.
Pros/Cons/Considerations:
-=Pros=-
↪ Great flavor
↪ Hair-trigger draw
↪ Ceramic coil
↪ Easy to see juice levels
↪ Ultra easy to use
-=Cons=-
↪ Slight leaks here and there (which are fairly common with disposables)
↪ Not environmentally friendly (lithium ion batteries)
↪ The battery runs out before the juice in some of them
-=Considerations=-
↪ Loose MTL draw (can partially cover airflow inlet with finger to tighten)
↪ Lower nicotine concentration (2%, 20mg/mL)
↪ Non-rechargeable
↪ Non-ice flavored options?
Final Thoughts:
Even though I'm not really a fan of disposables, I will admit that the DragBar Z700 SE does a great job if you're looking for an easy transition from cigarettes - that's ultimately the goal and reason why I write reviews, even for products I don't fully support. If you're looking to quit smoking, which I hope you are, I fully endorse this product for that purpose.
Looking around the Zovoo site, I noticed that they're taking part in a pretty cool program that I was completely unaware of. The program is called "1 for 1" and they're donating packages of Zovoo disposables to participating stores. For each unlit cigarette submitted by the user, they will exchange it for 1 package of Zovoo disposables on the 11th of each month. There are limitations to this program, but it gives you as a smoker, the incentive to at least try their product out at very little cost to you. If you have a regular brick and mortar store you usually go to, it behooves you to mention this program to them if this product and vaping in general is something of interest to you.
And that's all I got for you. If you have questions or comments about the product, please feel free to leave a response below. If this thread closes and you still have questions, feel free to PM me. Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for more Z-Lee reviews!
Happy Vape Hoarding!
