Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the DRAG Max 177W TC Kit with PNP Tank from Voopoo. The VOOPOO DRAG Max 177W TC Kit with PNP Tank was supplied for the purpose of this review by Tina from 3avape.

Introduction
Voopoo entered the vape arena after purchasing Woody Vapes which included the Gene Chip (the real prize) leaving Voopoo the job of designing devices to accommodate the prized chipset. As time has gone by Voopoo have become one of the biggest manufacturers who have milked the Pod Mod craze like no other!
What Voopoo have done to their credit throughout the seemingly never ending Pod Mod trend is stuck to the same PnP Pod and PnP range of coil heads giving cross compatibility between devices!
Really the Drag Max is a dual 18650 version of the Drag X giving a top wattage output of 177w and the choice of Smart or RBA modes. The Drag Max offers a choice of two different user interfaces and keeps the same adjustable airflow design introduced on the Drag X. Made from Zinc Alloy and with leather spine and sides lets give the Drag Max a closer look!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Drag Max came in simple cardboard packaging and on opening we have the device with attached pod in the top layer and accessories below. I received the Classic version which is basically an all Black affair, the options are Classic, Marsala, Galaxy Blue, Vintage Grey or Retro.
The device has a classic C-frame form factor and a Zinc Alloy construction with leather spine which also wraps around two thirds of the sides. The device is solid so not lightweight like the Argus GT but i wouldn't say over heavy but substantial, it just feels so damn well made!
The leather on the Spine section has two vertical rows of stitching central and on one side we have "DRAG" heavily embossed into the leather, there is a lot of other branding on the device which is OTT but luckily on the Classic version i received with it being Black most of it is less noticeable than on some of the other colour/designs. On each side where the leather on the sides finish we have thin elongated inlays which are unique to each colour/design option, on the Classics i received they are Black with a Chrome edging which particularly looks nice as the Chrome edging matches the edging to the buttons on the face of the device.
The face of the device has a protruding concave round fire button with that already mentioned Chrome edging and towards the bottom 2 smaller matching buttons lined up vertically for navigation. Between the fire button and navigational buttons we have a large colour screen then right at the bottom a Type C USB port.
Towards the top on both sides we have the airflow slots and at the top of the spine the lever that opens and closes the slots. Moving to the base we have the battery door with safety marks, grooves and chevrons showing which way to open. Moving up top and to the rear we have a squared raised area which houses the pod bay, when the pod is fitted most protrudes outside the bay giving good e-liquid visibility.
the build quality is as good as on any Voopoo device and the fire button has a particularly nice feel when clicking, the leather has some cushioning making the device very comfortable to hold!

The Pod
The PnP Pod is rounded and one complete, as good as clear moulding including mouthpiece. Most of the pod protrudes out of the device for good visibility of your juice so no issues there.
Looking at it's circular base we have 3 evenly placed strong magnets and a silicone bung kept attached with a metal stud. The bung has a flap which is easy to lift to pull the bung out revealing a very generous fill port plenty big enough for a quick, mess free fill.
The coil head just gets press fitted into the pod as is the case with most of these pod mod pods!
The standard PnP pod has a 4.5ml capacity while there is also a 2ml pod so the EU version is TPD compliant. Also available is a MTL 2ml PnP pod and an RTA pod. Also the Adapt adaptor which came with the Argus GT can be purchased separately allowing the PnP pods to be used on standard devices!
___________________________________________________________________
Fitting The Pod
The Pod Bay on the PnP devices like the Drag Max look quite different to other bays i have seen. The bottom of the bay only has the round central section visible with the rest of the floor which leads to the airflow slots being obscured by the perimeter having an upper metallic shelve for the pod magnets to attract too. Looking at the bottom of the bay we have a raised central positive and outer raised negative spring loaded contacts which look to have a silicone seal.
The pod snaps into place and fits very securely, the dual negatives and metallic surround shelf design means the pod can be fitted without it needing to be lined up a certain way, good design!
___________________________________________________________________
The Coils
Included is 2 different coil heads none of which are pre-installed and both part of the Voopoo PnP range which are the coils used throughout the Vinci and Drag Pod Mod devices.
The 2 included coil heads are the PnP VM5 0.2ohm mesh coil head rated between 40 - 60w and the other included coil head is the PnP VM6 0.15ohm mesh coil head rated between 60 - 80w.
The PnP Pod Tank is compatible with the entire Voopoo PnP range which is quite extensive!
