VOOPOO Drag S3 versus VOOPOO Drag X3
There are certainly major similarities between the VOOPOO Drag X3 and VOOPOO Drag S3. But there are a few major differences.
- VOOPOO Drag S3 has an integrated 3000mAh battery.
- VOOPOO Drag X3 requires separate purchase of a 18650 or 21700 battery.
- VOOPOO Drag X3 has a maximum wattage of 80-watts and the VOOPOO Drag S3 tops out at 60-watts.
- VOOPOO Drag S3 kit comes with the PnP-X MTL tank while the VOOPOO Drag X3 is sold with the PnP-X Direct Lung (DL) tank.
- Both are compatible with PnP-X tanks and coils.

Design and Ergonomics

Zinc alloy and leather construction gives the Drag S3 a premium feel with a comfortable, pocket-friendly shape. The screen shows battery, wattage, and resistance, while the magnetic pod makes swaps quick and secure.
VOOPOO Drag S3 Performance and Power
The Drag S3 balances strong battery life with enough power for most pod-mod styles. Adjustable wattage and coil options let you tune for flavor, warmth, or efficiency, while the touch-based unlock system keeps operation quick and secure.
Capacitive Unlock and Touch Activation
A capacitive unlock sensor helps prevent accidental firing by locking when you’re not holding the device. Standard button operation is also available for users who prefer traditional controls.
VOOPOO PnP X Platform

PnP X support provides broad coil and pod compatibility, making it easy to switch between MTL and DTL setups without changing devices. Coils are replaceable, and the system is designed for straightforward installs and consistent output.
The included 510 drip tip and 5mL cartridge support long sessions with minimal refills. Pairing different PnP X resistances lets you dial in draw tightness, vapor output, and flavor intensity.
E-Liquid Compatibility
Works with a wide range of e-liquids depending on coil choice. The 5mL pod supports longer use between refills, and the 0.6Ω/0.8Ω options cover common MTL-to-restricted styles.
Final Thoughts: VOOPOO Drag S3
Unless it is crucial that you have 80-watts of power on tap or you already have 18650 batteries and a charger, the VOOPOO Drag S3 is going to make more sense. It offers plenty of punch and the MTL PnP-X tank is not overly restrictive.
This being said, the best pure direct lung experience as sold will be the VOOPOO Drag X3. Both of these compact mods are quite capable and adept at handling high-VG vape juices and producing massive vapor.
