VOOPOO DRAG S3 Review: Specs, Coils and Who It’s For
Our DRAG S3 review in short: VOOPOO packed a 3000mAh battery and up to 60W into a palm-size pod mod kit. It runs on PnP X coils, so the same device can give a tight MTL draw or a looser, cloudier one. In addition, its 5mL DTL pod fills from the side and clicks on with magnets.
Updated October 10, 2026
To begin with, we based this DRAG S3 review on our product pages and on VOOPOO’s coil chart. The S3 is new, since it arrived at our store on September 24, so we can’t share sales numbers for it yet. However, the coils it uses are a long-time favorite. In fact, 290+ customers have bought PnP X coils from us, and nearly 1 in 3 came back for more.
The short version
- Price: $37.99, with two coils and a 5mL pod in the box.
- Battery: 3000mAh, built in, with USB-C charging.
- Power: 5W to 60W, with draw firing and a touch lock.
- Coils: every PnP X coil fits, but the 0.15 ohm one needs more than 60W.
- Best for: vapers who want a pod mod kit with more power, but not a big box mod.

VOOPOO DRAG S3
The DRAG S3 by VOOPOO is a pod mod kit with a rounded zinc alloy body and leather detail, so it sits well in the hand. It runs PnP X coils from 0.2 to 1.0 ohm, while its 360-degree top airflow lets you open or close the draw. Shop the DRAG S3.
Best for: vapers who want one device for MTL, RDL and DTL vaping.
Good to know: At 150g, it’s heavier than a slim pod kit, and it tops out at 60W.
Which PnP X coil should you use?
The coil decides how the VOOPOO DRAG S3 vapes. So here’s VOOPOO’s chart from our coil page, with the draw style and watt range for each one:
| Coil | Draw | Watts |
|---|---|---|
| 1.0 ohm | MTL | 10W to 13W |
| 0.8 ohm (in the box) | MTL | 12W to 16W |
| 0.6 ohm (in the box) | MTL or RDL | 18W to 23W |
| 0.45 ohm | RDL | 25W to 32W |
| 0.3 ohm | DTL or RDL | 32W to 40W |
| 0.2 ohm | DTL | 40W to 60W |
MTL means mouth-to-lung, the tightest draw. RDL, or restricted direct lung, is a bit looser, while DTL, or direct-to-lung, is the most open. In general, start at the low end of each range and then turn it up slowly.
What about the 0.15 ohm coil? Here’s one catch we found in this DRAG S3 review: it fits, but VOOPOO rates it for 60W to 80W. Since the S3 tops out at 60W, you’d only reach the bottom of that range. So for big clouds on this kit, the 0.2 ohm coil is the better match.
Also, all seven PnP X coils are in stock at our store, at $15.99 for a 5-pack. Our freebase vs salt nicotine guide and our PG and VG guide can also help you match your juice to your coil.
Spare pods
The VOOPOO DRAG S3 takes PnP X pods. Our spare PnP X 2-packs cost $8.99, and each pod holds 5mL. Right now, we have the DTL pod in stock, which fits every PnP X coil.
There’s also an MTL version with a 510 drip tip. However, it only fits the 0.3 and 0.6 ohm coils, and it’s out of stock at the moment.
Battery, charging and controls
The VOOPOO DRAG S3 has a 3000mAh battery built in, and it charges over USB-C. Meanwhile, the 0.96-inch screen shows your settings, and a touch panel unlocks the device. You can set how it unlocks, and it can lock itself when you’re not using it, so it won’t fire in your pocket.
Whenever you charge it, follow the FDA’s tips to help avoid vape battery fires. For example, charge it on a clean, flat surface, away from anything that can catch fire. Also, don’t charge it overnight.
DRAG S3 review: who should buy it?
Get the DRAG S3 if you want a pod mod kit with a big battery, 60W of power and a wide choice of coils. It’s also a good step up from a simple pod kit, because you can grow from MTL to DTL without buying a new device. On the other hand, if you want a slimmer kit for nic salts, a smaller pod kit may suit you better.
Still deciding? For example, our XROS 6 vs Caliburn G5 guide compares two slimmer pod kits. Also, our NeXLIM 2 review covers a 40W kit with 4mL pods. You can also browse every pod kit we carry.
