Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the Drag X Plus Mod from Voopoo. The VOOPOO Drag X Plus Mod was supplied for the purpose of this review by Ella from Sourcemore.

Introduction
The Voopoo Drag X Plus is a single 21700 version of the Drag X but rather than a proprietary pod connection it has a standard 510 plate and threaded connection up top so a standard 21700 device. The Drag X Plus is basically identical in design to the Drag X other than the standard 510 which also means no airflow control. The device has a choice of 2 user interfaces identical to those on the Drag Max.
The Drag X Plus is a simple power only device offering both smart and RBA (standard variable wattage) modes which can be easiest distinguished apart from the colour of the display. Although the Drag X Plus is very much a standard device version of the Drag X how the device is navigated and it's display is 100% identical to the Drag Max with just a lower max wattage but then the Drag X and Drag Max operating systems are so very similar anyway!
Although in my opinion the constant releasing of almost identical devices and lack of both creativity and innovation is something very evident those that prefer continuity will like the familiarity with other Voopoo devices! It's up to you!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Drag X Plus comes in cardboard box packaging with outer cardboard sleeve. The device is quite light at 133g despite having a solid Zinc Alloy construction. The padded spine comes in a choice of 2 leather or 3 Suede finishes with "DRAG X PLUS" embossed into it.
The main chassis is either Gunmetal or Silver depending on your spine choice and it borrows it's design from the Drag X. I received the Prussian Blue version which has a Prussian Blue Suede spine and Silver chassis, the options are Classic, Sandy Brown, Marsala, Smoky Grey or Prussian Blue.
Up top slightly towards the rear we have a slightly raised 510 plate and Gold plated, spring loaded 510 connection. On the face we have a Round concave fire button top then central colour screen, below the screen lined up vertically we have smaller round navigational buttons followed by a Type C USB port.
The rounded form factor, padded spine and concave fire button makes the device ergonomically sound, feeling comfortable in the hand and in use!

Fitting The Battery
The Drag X Plus will accommodate either a single 21700 or with the use of the supplied adaptor an 18650 which gets fitted via the hatch door on the base of the device. Just slide the door forward and lift up, positive is clearly labelled at the bottom of the tube but negative is just embossed on the underside of the door, this needs to be more visible in my opinion!
When the door is shut we have no movement or battery rattle whatsoever, a really nice solid door but like all these bottom hatch doors only time will tell how durable it really is, but seems fine!

The Display
The Drag X Plus has a large colour display with plenty of information on show. You also have the choice of two different user interfaces both of which operate the same way and give the same information but have a different visual appearance.
The default display has "DRAG" top left and then top right we have the horizontally positioned battery status bar. Underneath to the left we have the wattage and to the top right of the wattage the mode which will either be "S" for Smart or "R" for RBA, if the device is locked a closed padlock is displayed instead but you can tell which mode you are in by the colour of accents on the display which are Yellow in Smart Mode and Cyan in RBA Mode. Next we have the puff count then below to the right the resistance. Moving to the left we have the voltage and below puff duration, finally at the bottom of the display we have a curved puff duration progress graphic.
The alternative user interface is read by having the device on it's side. Centre top we have the horizontally positioned battery status bar and centre bottom "DRAG". The vape duration progress graphic on this interface forms a circle positioned centrally and within that circle we have the wattage. To the right of the circle we have the mode and to the left either a closed or open padlock. Top left we have the puff count and bottom left the resistance, finally top right is vape duration and bottom right voltage.

Navigating The Drag X Plus
The Drag X Plus is a simple power only device but does have two modes, Smart Mode and RBA Mode. Smart Mode will give a suitable wattage when a new resistance is detected and will also only allow the wattage to be adjusted up to what the device deems as the suitable upper limit for that resistance, i said resistance rather than coil head because even if using a rebuildable tank it still gives an initial suitable wattage and upper limit. RBA mode really is just normal variable wattage giving no smart wattage and allows wattage adjustment from 5w right up to 100w so no limits!
As normal the device can be turned on and off with 5 clicks of the fire button and once on up and fire locks the whole device so it also will not fire. I just don't get the point of this because if i want the device not to fire i can just turn it off but what i do want is to just be able to lock the navigational buttons which can't be done without locking the whole device.
To change between modes is 3 quick clicks of the fire button and fire and down together resets your puff count. Finally holding down both the up and down buttons gives the choice of two different user interfaces, the default which is called Iron and also Core which is viewed with the screen on it's side. You use one of the navigational buttons to pick which interface you want and then holding down the fire button selects. The wattage adjusts in 1W increments at a decent speed from 5w to 100w (in RBA mode) but doesn't round robin!
