Voopoo has been one of the most consistently impressive hardware brands we've stocked.
Voopoo has been one of the most consistently impressive hardware brands we've stocked. Founded in 2014 and launching their first devices in 2017, they've built a strong global reputation on the back of their proprietary GENE chip technology, which powers smart wattage output, rapid firing speeds and a range of safety protections across the device range. Through our testing, we've found vapers choose Voopoo for genuine day-to-day reliability: flavour that holds across a full coil lifespan, well-built kits that take a knock, and a product range covering everything from compact MTL pod kits to high-wattage sub-ohm mods. Their three flagship series, Drag, Argus and Vinci, each serve a distinct type of vaper, meaning there's a logical entry point for switchers and experienced vapers alike. We stock the full Voopoo range sourced through authorised UK distributors, so every device and coil you buy is the genuine article.
Voopoo built their reputation on GENE chip technology, a proprietary smart chipset that adjusts power output in real time, fires in as little as 0.001 seconds and integrates multiple protection systems covering short circuits, overcharge and overheating. That engineering focus runs through every product line they produce, from entry-level pod kits to high-output box mods.
What sets Voopoo apart is that their chipset and coil technology genuinely reflects in the vape, not just on the spec sheet.
We've run Voopoo devices through their paces over years of regular use across the team. What keeps us stocking them is straightforward: the GENE chip consistently delivers stable output and the coil engineering means flavour holds longer than you'd expect at the price point. There are no gimmicks here, just solid hardware that does what it says.
Voopoo is one of the few brands where you can start on a simple pod kit and step up to a full sub-ohm mod setup without leaving the ecosystem.
The right Voopoo kit depends on how you vape, not just what looks good. Airflow preference, your experience level, the e-liquid type you're using and how much output you need all point in different directions. Here's a simple breakdown.
Moving from cigarettes or disposables? Start with an Argus pod kit. The Argus G3 and Argus Z2 are draw-activated or single-button simple, use top-fill pods, and the GENE.AI chipset sets the wattage for you. Pair with a 20mg nic salt (the UK legal maximum is 20mg/ml) and a 1.0ohm pod for a mouth-to-lung draw that feels similar to smoking. No settings to learn, no coil priming knowledge required.

The Drag S2 and Argus P3 sit in the middle ground. Both offer adjustable wattage, up to 60W on the Drag S2, larger batteries and more airflow options. You can switch between MTL and RDL by changing the pod resistance. These suit vapers who are comfortable with basic settings and want something that lasts a full day between charges.
Our MTL vs DTL vaping guide explains the difference if you're not sure which style suits you.
The Drag 6 box mod running up to 220W is Voopoo's flagship for experienced DTL vapers. Pair it with a TPP or PnP X coil in the 0.15-0.2ohm range and a high-VG shortfill for maximum cloud and flavour. The GENE chipset handles power curves and temperature monitoring, so you're working with genuinely capable hardware, not just high numbers on a spec sheet.

The Argus G3 Mini and Vinci S are the compact carry options. Both are small enough for a pocket, draw-activated, and built for nic salts rather than shortfills. Battery life is shorter, in the 1350-1500mAh range, but charging is fast via USB-C. A good choice if you vape lightly through the day and want something that doesn't weigh your jacket down.
If you've been on disposables or fixed-coil pod kits and want better running costs, the Argus or Vmate range with refillable pods and replaceable PnP coils is the logical next step. You get the same simplicity with significantly lower cost per week. A five-pack of PnP coils typically runs out slower and cheaper than buying replacement fixed-coil pods every few days.

Every Voopoo product we sell is sourced through authorised UK distributors only. That means you're getting devices built to UK and EU specification, compliant with TPD regulations, and supported by genuine replacement coils and pods. Counterfeit Voopoo devices do circulate, particularly on online marketplaces, so buying from an authorised retailer matters more than it might seem.
We price our Voopoo range competitively and regularly run multi-buy deals on coils and pods, because the ongoing cost of coils is where your money actually goes over time. Check our multi-buy offers and clearance sections for current deals.
We dispatch orders quickly from the UK, with free delivery available on qualifying orders. No long waits, no international shipping delays. If you need a replacement coil or a new kit in a hurry, we've got you covered.
Our team are everyday vapers who use the products we sell. We've run Voopoo kits, burned through the coils, and tested enough devices to give you a straight answer when you ask which one to buy. If you're unsure whether the Argus G3 or Drag S2 is the right fit for your setup, just ask. We'd rather you buy the right thing than the wrong one.
The Argus pod kit range is the natural starting point. Simple operation, top-fill pods and the GENE.AI chipset handling wattage automatically make it easy to pick up and use from day one. Coil options cover both MTL and RDL vaping, so you can adjust your draw style as you get comfortable.
The Drag line covers high-wattage mods and versatile pod-mods for experienced vapers. The Argus range focuses on compact, everyday pod kits. The Vinci series sits in the middle, with draw-activated pod kits offering strong battery life and flavour for regular daily use. Each series has a clear use case rather than being interchangeable.
Coil lifespan depends heavily on your e-liquid and wattage. PnP and PnP X coils typically hold flavour for one to two weeks with regular use. Running at lower wattage and avoiding very sweet e-liquids extends lifespan noticeably. See our coil lifespan guide for more detail.
PnP coils fit a broad range of Voopoo kits including the Drag S2, Argus and Vmate lines. PnP X coils are a newer family with an updated design. Always check your specific device against the coil range before buying to avoid compatibility issues.
The GENE chipset reads your coil's resistance on connection and calculates an appropriate wattage range. In GENE.AI mode, it self-adjusts output as the coil heats and cools, reducing the chance of dry hits. Safety protections for short circuit, overcharge, overtime and overheating all run in the background without any configuration needed from you.
For MTL pod kits with 1.0ohm coils, nic salts in a 50/50 PG/VG ratio work best. For RDL and sub-ohm setups using 0.15-0.45ohm coils, a 70VG/30PG shortfill delivers better cloud and flavour. Avoid using thick 70VG liquid in MTL kits as it won't wick fast enough and you'll get dry hits. Our nic salts vs freebase guide covers this in more detail.
