I’m back again with a product test, courtesy of Sourcemore. This thing is none other than the new Voopoo Drag 6! Unlike its predecessor, the Drag 5, this one features a chip with a higher version number, which is none other than the Gene TT 3.0. It’s slightly larger compared to the Drag 5, measuring 96.9 x 51.4 x 28.6 mm. To continue listing the differences, up to the Drag 5, all Drags could output 177 watts, whereas the 6 can be cranked up to 220 watts. Literally cranked, as instead of navigation buttons, it received a so-called precision control wheel, also referred to as precision mechanical wheel control. In Hungarian, this simply means a precision control dial, but I found ‘tekerentyű’ (rotary dial) more fitting and that’s what I called it throughout the entire testing period. It has built-in batteries that provide 2 x 2200mAh each, but this naturally adds up, giving us a total of 4400mAh built-in battery capacity in the Drag 6. Since this was originally a mod designed for DL use – because, let’s face it, everything is DL these days in vaping – it handles resistances from 0.05 ohm up to 3 ohm. Yes, that’s a hundredth of an ohm, which I think can be quite dangerous as it’s very close to a short circuit, but of course, if the manufacturer says so, it’s not that scary… Anyway, it has all sorts of protections, such as short-circuit protection, overcharge protection, output overcurrent protection, and overheating protection. Of course, Voopoo also considers puff time with the Drag 6, which is 8 seconds. I think this is enough for a substantial puff, but this data also indicates it’s a DL device, as taking the vapor directly into the lungs for 8 seconds is almost too long, especially if the tank on it is quite airy.
The Drag 6, which features a zinc alloy body, has been released in seven different colors. Thank goodness they didn’t overthink the fantasy names for the colors. I’m extremely happy about this because midnight blue is, well, blue, and midnight means midnight, when the sky is black, so you get it, the two don’t really match. So, the colors are: silver, blue, black, red, brown, green, metallic gray. I received the silver one. Now, let’s dive into the details.
Voopoo Drag 6 Experience Report
Box Contents and Getting to Know the Device
I think the list of accessories is close to zero. Nowadays, when everyone has a USB-C smartphone, I don’t understand why they still include USB-C charging cables with the devices. Oh well, it’s there, and that’s that. For documentation, we get a user manual and a guide to PnP coils for the mod, which didn’t arrive as a kit, so it doesn’t include the stock Uforce X Tank 2.
On the front, we find the fire button, dedicated by Everest Lab. Everest Lab is actually a research and quality control center in China, with the same parent company as Voopoo, which is ICCPP Group. Therefore, this marking is intended to communicate that the Drag 6 has undergone strict laboratory tests and passed successfully. The fire button also has a temperature sensor, which is the basis for the capacitive unlock sensor. Below this button is the 1.66" color TFT display, and beneath a rubber cover is the USB Type-C port, capable of charging the 2 x 2200, i.e., 4400mAh battery(ies) at 5V/3A. The padded back only features the Drag inscription and the Everest Lab logo.
The sides, in my opinion, aren’t that interesting. They are also padded like the back, with stitching providing some pattern that makes it a bit nicer. Perhaps the only interesting feature is the rotary dial resembling a potentiometer, which is quite visible. Although the picture doesn’t show it, it’s not very visible in person either that there are dedicated plus and minus markings on either side of the dial. Turning it right increases the wattage and navigates up in the menu, while turning it left decreases the wattage and navigates down in the menu.
The entire top is held by 4 screws, featuring a spring-loaded 510 connector. The bottom has a rubber foot that extends over the USB port, thus protecting it. The mandatory pictograms are, of course, present.
We get 5 menu items with the Drag 6: Mode, Theme, Animation, Lock Settings, and Puff Clear. The Exit option is also available, though it will return to the main screen by itself after 3 seconds.
The first menu item is Mode. The selection here is quite limited, consisting of Smart, RBA, and TC-TCR.
The second menu item is Theme. Honestly, I don’t understand what the markings are supposed to represent, but one thing is for sure: the last one is the Media Markt logo… This is going to be trouble, Voopoo… All three are nice and interactive during use. Two of the three display the puff time during a puff, which I find useful because many people, myself often included, excitedly monitor the duration of their puffs.
The third menu item is Animation. With this, we can only turn the animation that appears during a puff on and off; if we turn it off, we will only see the main screen.
The fourth menu item is Lock Settings. Here we can choose from three options: Touch Lock, Button Lock, and Unlock. If we select Touch Lock, the temperature sensor in the button detects body heat to unlock the device. Well, there’s a universal problem with this, which I’ll explain below. With Button Lock, we need to quickly press the fire button twice to unlock or lock the device. The Unlock option, of course, disables the device lock.
The fifth menu item is Puff Clear. There’s nothing particularly special to see here. If you press it, the screen shown in the picture appears, and you’re back to zero in terms of puff count.
Quite a neat little gadget, right? Let’s see if it’s worth buying.
Experience Report
The zinc alloy body is indeed promising, as it holds up well, but it first collects scratches around its base, which doesn’t mean it won’t get them elsewhere. It’s just that this part first contacts the surface we set it on, or the zipper of the pocket where we put it. I wouldn’t call it heavy; it’s a mid-weight player. It has a matte finish in some areas and a shiny finish in others, both of which tend to collect fingerprints. At least, my silver unit excels at this. But in return, the material is not slippery at all, and the padded parts are very comfortable to hold. Although the edges next to the display are not sufficiently rounded, there’s that certain cubed feeling, but I think one can get used to it. The device’s single button, the fire button, is perfectly sensitive, with the actuation point located under the entire button, which also makes it comfortable to use. The top of the device and the control wheel, or dial, are ribbed. This is a disadvantage in that all sorts of dirt get caught on it: grease from our hands, dust from our workplace, and even pocket lint. However, this problem can be easily removed with a dry cloth, so it’s not really a problem, it just looks quite shabby after a few weeks if you don’t take care of it. The grip of the rubber feet is very good. It holds the device sufficiently on any surface, reducing the chance of it tipping over. The rubber cover on the USB connector is just a loose flap, so dirt cannot get into the connector, which is a good thing, but it doesn’t seal 100%, so occasionally a small dust bunny sneaks in, and of course, it doesn’t make the device waterproof, although it’s well-known that no Drag is waterproof, so this isn’t either. However, this small rubber cover can protect the USB from splashes. I think that’s all I can describe about its appearance.There aren’t too many buttons on the device, but the ones that are there prove quite interesting, as it has a heat sensor, or more fancily, a capacitive unlock sensor. This was originally intended to serve the purpose that if the Touch Lock is enabled in the Lock Settings menu item, as soon as we touch the fire button, the device lock is released. And if we release the fire button, the device locks after 3 seconds. This in itself would be very great (or would be), but there’s a small problem. Since it detects body heat, it often unlocks even through thin clothing. This can cause some trouble, especially now in the summer when we don’t overdo it with clothing. If the mod is pressed against your thigh in the pocket of thinner pants, perhaps with the fire button facing inwards, it’s already firing. In my job, I have to wear work gloves, and it still senses body heat through them. So this is not the best solution, but it’s not pointless, as such problems can be avoided. For example, no accidents happen in a bag, and usually not in a back pocket either. So it’s not such a misguided idea, but it’s a fact that it’s not a Geekvape product, where there’s a sensor on the back of the device too, meaning you have to hold the device in your hand specifically for it to be able to fire. The other part of the paragraph should be about the control wheel. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, but you have to get used to it. Adjusting the wattage is quite easy with it, although you have to be careful when Touch Lock is active, because the device lock turns on in a jiffy, and then the cursing can begin. When adjusting wattage, each click increases or decreases the wattage by one, which is clear. However, when navigating the menu, unfortunately, the movement of the dial and the sequence of menu items are not as synchronized. Sometimes the wheel clicks twice before the menu jumps once. And within menu items, sometimes the selection jumps twice while the dial only clicks once, or you turn it once. But since this is not a precision device, even though they’ve put the word on it twice, it won’t be that bothersome because you won’t be fiddling with the menu constantly anyway. So this is not a problem or a bug, rather just a bit annoying at first, and you’ll get used to it being like that later.The menu is infinitely simple, containing only the most important things, but you won’t use half of it anyway, so I can say that the usability of the Drag 6 is satisfactory for its (low budget) kind. The Gene TT 3.0 chip does its job, and moreover, the power delivery is very good, so it does its job well. Although I used it with an MTL tank, it wasn’t bothersome at all that the power could only be adjusted in whole watts. I could make do with it this way. But this whole wattage adjustability, like some other features, suggests that this is indeed a DL device. By the way, I had no problems with the menu during use, I just still haven’t figured out what the icons indicating themes in the Theme menu refer to. But I understand that it was easier this way than giving names to them. Since it has a built-in battery, charging time is important. The charging time for this gadget is at least 1 hour and 45 minutes! Plus or minus a few minutes, but more likely plus than minus. Well, it takes 2 hours to charge it from 0 to 100%. This is not a big problem, it’s just strange that although they advertise fast charging, because 5V/3A is considered fast, the device itself unfortunately cannot deliver fast charging. However, the good news is that it does not heat up during charging. But during use, it quickly adopts the ambient temperature, e.g., in an open smoking lounge, but indoors in a room, it doesn’t heat up at all. Although, as I mentioned, I used it with MTL, with DL it’s natural for the mod to heat up.That would be the experience report. I feel I wasn’t disappointed! Although I don’t like built-in battery devices that much, whoever is looking for one might have found their dream mod.*—### Pros 
* Pleasantly soft padding. The Drag 6 has quite thick padding on its sides and back to make it comfortable to hold. This can make it easily likable. * Not too heavy. It would correspond to the size of a dual-battery mod, but since it has built-in batteries, these batteries naturally have unique dimensions and weight, so it can be lighter than a replaceable battery mod. * Outstanding 510 connector rim. For some time now, it has become customary for the rim around the 510 connector to be slightly raised by a few tenths of a millimeter to prevent them from scratching each other. This is no different with this mod. This is definitely a good feature, as it also makes it easier to protect the tank. * Easy operability, simple use, and menu. The Drag 6 is easy to operate and use in every aspect. The menu is also not overcomplicated, so it won’t cause headaches for a beginner vaper. * Control wheel is easily operable with one hand. If we grip the mod from the side, we can easily turn the dial with our thumb, which is mostly good because we can reach the desired wattage range faster. * Does not heat up during charging. Perhaps this was the most interesting point of the test. I was expecting to criticize it for heating up, but fortunately, that didn’t happen. This earns extra points for Voopoo. * The control wheel does not turn by itself in a pocket or bag. This dial is sufficiently fixedly built-in and secured, so it requires a bit of force for wattage adjustment, but this is good because it cannot turn on its own, unlike the step-dial interface button on Lost Vape’s M100 mod. That one is very loose and turns easily, whether in a pocket or bag. Fortunately, the Drag 6 control wheel is not like that. It’s bombproof!### Cons 
* Long charging time. The charging time for the Drag 6 doubles. Instead of the usual 1 hour, it takes 2 hours to charge the battery from 0 to 100%. * No cooling. The great fortune is that the mod is not prone to overheating. Definitely not under an MTL atomizer, but I trust that it’s designed not to overheat even under DL. However, it’s still unforgivable that there aren’t a few holes for cooling, but at least we don’t have to worry too much about overheating.—To conclude, I’d just say that the Voopoo Drag 6 is not a bad device overall! Of course, nothing is perfect, but it has few truly bad characteristics to discourage everyone from it. Although it’s specifically made for DL tanks and the stock Uforce X Tank 2 is also hardcore DL, I would rather recommend it more for DL use, but it’s a fact that it handles MTL use without problems! So my last sentence will be: If you like it, buy it without hesitation!
