VOOPOO DRAG 2 177W Box Mod Review

With the vaping community constantly on the rise, box mods have been receiving a lot of attention among both beginners and advanced users. Their compact design, rugged build, strength, and appealing look work together to bring an all-in-one convenient vaping device. Many companies have tried their hand at perfecting them, including Voopoo.

The VOOPOO DRAG 2 177W Box Mod improves on to its predecessor with a 1/4 lighter build compared to the original Drag, a dual battery setup, and different resin plates. Don’t be fooled by its small appearance; however – this compact device can pack quite a punch.

Included in the VOOPOO DRAG 2 177W Box Mod Device you will find:

• 1 DRAG 2 177W Box Mod
• 1 MicroUSB Cable
• 1 Instructional Manual

Exterior Composition Compared to the original Drag, Drag 2 has a zinc alloy and resin body with rounded edges for a comfortable grip. Front and back are mildly curved, with high-quality resin paint on the front that doesn’t chip easily. With the weight of 158g, you’ll barely notice it in your pocket. On the side of the mod is a 0.9-inch OLED display that’s going to show some basic info such as temperature and voltage. The back cover has a stylish black look and protects the battery with the help of two strong magnets.

However, its fit is not too tight, so there’s a high chance that it’ll move slightly during use. 510 connection point is centered, and the 25mm atomizers are going to be a nice, tight fit. However, the connection point isn’t flush with the device but rather raised. It is a lacking feature as there will be a fairly large gap no matter which atomizer you put on it.

VOOPOO DRAG 2 177W Box Mod allows modifications of wattage, atomizer resistance as well as temperature control that is accustomed towards different types of wires – steel, titanium, and nickel. The largest firing button is going to be used as a confirmation button, while the two smaller ones serve for switching between all the different options and modifying them. Drag 2 features a whole new FIT mode – a submenu that contains three additional features which differ in their battery usage to power ratio. Depending on the selected option, the power provided to the coil is going to be different, therefore causing a lighter/stronger vape.

The options are:
1. Battery saving mode – does exactly what it says. You get a longer battery life at the cost of strength, vapor production, and a lot cooler vape overall.
2. Best flavor mode – a medium-strength hit with a supposedly stronger flavor which is hardly noticeable.
3. Maximum cloud production – the strongest out of the bunch. Sacrifices battery life to provide a lot of vapor – suitable for cloud chasers.
There’s no clear explanation on what each of the options does on the Voopoo’s website, and there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of difference between them. It seems to be more of a gimmick than something that you’ll change up frequently.

The VOOPOO DRAG 2 177W Box Mod has a 20W higher wattage than its precursor. Two different coil choices are going to determine what kind of vape you get. The N3 triple mesh coil is aimed to be used with higher wattages (>70W). It’s capable of bringing out the robust flavor and vapor due to its lower 0.2-ohm resistance. This is going to be a better choice for more experienced vapers.

On the other side, the preinstalled U2 is a dual-parallel coil that works at around 55W. Due to this, it’s going to perform a fair bit weaker and a lot less vapor. Still, it’s very smooth and manages to bring out a good flavor. For beginners, it’s probably going to be enough for a good hit. The vapor is moderately warm. Before use, it’s important to prime both coils and let the cotton soak up the liquid properly. In the worst-case scenario, the timeout protection is going to prevent both coil and cotton from burning up.

• Attractive color options
• High capacity, customizable tank
• Two coils to satisfy all types of users + Solid battery life
• Lightweight and compact
• Fully adjustable airflow
• Vast wattage range (5-177W)
• Rich flavor
• A lot of vapor production for its size
• Multiple security features to prevent accidents

• OLED display could be somewhat brighter
• The FIT mode is fairly underwhelming
• Raised 510 connectors is going to leave a gap
• The battery cover is going to be loose
• Protruding firing button could cause it to fire off in your pocket accidentally

The VOOPOO DRAG 2 177W Box Mod is a solid all-in-one powerhouse that certainly lives up to the hype of the first Drag. The attractive color palettes, two batteries, zinc alloy chassis, and the customization options make the Drag 2 perfect for anyone looking for a compact yet powerful device at a mid-range price point.

The packaging contains a lot more than your usual box mod for additional modifications. Still, it’s not perfect. Some trivial things, such as the outdated display and the wobbly battery cover might be the breaking point for some. If you can get over these weak points, you’ll get a durable kit that gets the job done.
