The Voopoo Argus Pro Pod Kit would be the safest option overall, the VMATE i2 would be the easiest transition from disposables, and the Drag 5 would be what someone would choose based on producing clouds. Everything else in the lineup is in between these choices.
This guide runs through the ten best Voopoo devices currently stocked at Voopoo Vapes on Pirate Vapes, what each one is built for, and a plain answer to the coil compatibility question that trips most Voopoo buyers up.
Key Takeaways
-
Voopoo splits into three main families: Argus for versatile pod kits, Vinci for pod mods, Drag for higher-powered mods and pod mods.

How We Picked These Voopoo Devices
The list is drawn from Voopoo kits currently in stock, not the wider Voopoo catalogue. Every device on it is reusable, TPD-compliant, and covered by the PnP or TPP coil system Voopoo uses across its range.
Pricing spans entry-level pod kits under £15 through to flagship box mods at the top end, so there's an option for anyone stepping up from a disposable, moving between draw styles, or replacing an older device.
Compare directly against the wider Best Refillable Pod Kits range if you want to see Voopoo lined up against other brands.
The Best Voopoo Devices (Reviewed)
The order below runs from the simplest, most beginner-friendly devices at the top through to the flagship box mods at the bottom. Each entry says what the kit is, what it's built for, and where it fits in the Voopoo family.
1. Voopoo VMATE i2 Small Pod Kit: Best for Beginners and Ex-Disposable Users
The VMATE i2 is the closest thing Voopoo makes to a plug-and-play starter. It's a small draw-activated pod kit with a 2ml refillable pod, no wattage settings to fiddle with, and USB-C charging. Fill the pod, wait a few minutes for the coil to soak, and pull.

That's the appeal for anyone stepping off a disposable and not looking for a device with a screen. Pair it with a 20mg nic salt for a familiar throat hit and you're within a few pounds of a full setup.
It's not the kit for cloud production, and it doesn't pretend to be. Simple, pocketable, cheap to run.
2. Voopoo Argus G2 Mini Pod Kit: Best Compact Pick
The Argus G2 Mini shrinks the standard Argus format down for pocket use, with adjustable airflow and the compact battery you'd expect at this size. It uses VooPoo's Argus top-fill pod cartridges with built-in mesh coils, so there are no messy coil swaps. Just fill, click it into place, and vape.

The MTL-to-restricted RDL range makes it a step up from a basic pod without demanding much attention.
Good match for a 50/50 salt in the tighter 0.7Ω pod, or an airier draw with the 0.4Ω pod clicked in. A sensible second device once you know how you like to vape.
3. Voopoo Argus G3 Pod Vape Kit: Best New Refillable Pod System
Newer than the G2, the Argus G3 is Voopoo's current generation of the compact Argus format. It brings adjustable wattage, refined airflow control, and updated Argus top-fill pod compatibility to a familiar footprint, so you get more control over the draw without stepping into pod mod territory.

The top-fill Argus pods use VooPoo's newer leak-resistant tech and built-in mesh coils, giving you consistent flavour with zero messy maintenance.
If you want a modern pocket Argus with full screen and wattage control, the G3 is the easier pick. A 2ml refillable pod keeps it within UK rules.
4. Voopoo Argus Pro Pod Kit: Best All-Round Pod Mod
The Argus Pro is the one most vapers should look at first. It's a full pod mod with a screen, adjustable wattage, a solid built-in battery, and PnP coil compatibility, all in a form factor that still fits in a pocket. MTL through RDL to a mild DTL, all from the same device, by changing the coil.

That flex is why the Argus Pro has been Voopoo's most consistently recommended everyday kit for years.
Fit a higher-resistance PnP head with a 20mg salt for a tight cigarette-style draw, or drop in a low-resistance coil with a 50/50 blend for warmer clouds. One kit, three or four setups.
5. Voopoo Argus GT 2 Vape Kit: Best Sub-Ohm Argus for Cloud Chasers
The Argus GT 2 is the box-mod-sized version of the Argus name. Dual external batteries, high wattage on tap, and support for both PnP-X and TPP-style coils move it firmly into DTL territory. Pair it with a low-resistance mesh coil and a high-VG shortfill, and you're producing full DTL clouds.

The external battery format means you can carry a charged spare, which suits heavier vapers who don't want to be tied to a wall socket at the end of the day.
It's a step change in size and outlay from the pod kits above, so this is one to pick when you've decided DTL is what you want, not the first Voopoo device you buy.
6. Voopoo Vinci 3 Vape Kit: Best for Flavour
The Vinci 3 sits in the sweet spot between a compact pod kit and a full pod mod. A larger built-in battery than the Argus G2, adjustable wattage, and PnP coil compatibility give it the flavour range vapers usually want when they call a device "flavourful": consistent power, decent airflow control, and enough coil variety to tune the draw.

RDL is where the Vinci 3 is at its best, so a mid-VG e-liquid pairs naturally, though it handles higher-resistance salts fine too.
Not the smallest kit here, not the most powerful, but the one most likely to deliver the best-tasting draw across a range of coils.
7. Voopoo Vinci 2 Pod Kit: Best Vinci Pod Mod
The Vinci 2 is the fuller version of the Vinci format: pod mod styling, an internal battery you'll get a full day out of, and the same PnP coil platform as everything else in the range. It runs MTL, RDL, and mild DTL depending on the coil fitted.

Where the Vinci 3 leans towards flavour tuning, the Vinci 2 is the more general everyday device.
It's built around the wider Vinci ecosystem of pods and coils, so replacement parts stay easy to find. If you already run a Voopoo PnP-based kit and want a second device that shares your spares, this is the natural companion.
8. Voopoo Drag S Pod Kit: Best Intermediate Pod Mod
The Drag S is the pod mod that introduced a lot of UK vapers to the Drag range. It has a larger built-in battery than the Argus Pro, more power on tap, and the same PnP coil compatibility. That combination has kept it a steady seller.

It sits in the "one step above pod, one step below box mod" bracket. Good for RDL and mild DTL, less ideal for the tightest MTL draws.
If you've outgrown a compact pod kit and want more battery life without carrying external cells, the Drag S is where most people land. It's the introductory Drag rather than the flagship.
9. Voopoo Drag X Pro Mod Kit: Best for Customisation
The Drag X Pro uses a single external battery, TPP coils, and a full-colour screen with adjustable firing modes. It's built for vapers who like to tune wattage, curves, and airflow rather than just fill and go.

TPP is Voopoo's higher-powered coil platform, running larger mesh heads for stronger DTL performance than the PnP range manages.
Pair it with a high-VG shortfill and the Drag X Pro produces the warmer, cloudier draws most sub-ohm vapers are after. This is where the customisation curve starts to matter, so it suits vapers who already know what they want out of a mod.
10. Voopoo Drag 5 Vape Kit: Best High-Power Box Mod
The Drag 5 is Voopoo's flagship DTL box mod. Dual external batteries, a high-wattage ceiling, the UFORCE-X Tank, and the full GENE chip feature set. This is the kit for vapers producing serious cloud volume.

The external battery format matters at this power level. Charged spares mean the kit keeps running through the day, and dual cells share the load so battery life stays sensible even at high wattage.
Pair with a 70/30 shortfill for the intended experience. It's the biggest outlay in this list and the least portable, but it's also the most capable device Voopoo currently makes for cloud-focused DTL.
How Do You Choose the Right Voopoo Device?
Format and draw style come first. Battery size, screens, and wattage figures follow. Pick the family that matches how you want to vape, then use coil resistance and airflow to fine-tune within it.
For Beginners and Ex-Disposable Users
If you're moving off a disposable, the VMATE i2 and Argus G2 Mini are the easiest transitions. Both are small, draw-activated or simple to fire, and use refillable 2ml pods rather than a tank.
Fill with a 20mg salt in a familiar flavour, let the coil soak for five minutes, and the muscle memory carries over. Browse the wider Pod Kits collection to compare Voopoo against similar-sized options from other brands.
For MTL and Nic Salt Vapers
The Argus Pro is the strongest MTL Voopoo pick because you can dial the coil resistance and airflow to a genuine cigarette-style draw. Fit a higher-resistance PnP head, close the airflow, and pair with a 20mg Nic Salt in a 50/50 blend. The Argus G3 does the same thing in a smaller footprint. Both sit in the wider MTL Vape Kits range for comparison.
For DTL and Cloud Chasers
The Drag 5, Drag X Pro and Argus GT 2 are the three built for DTL. PnP-X and TPP sub-ohm coils backed by external batteries handle the higher wattage the format needs, and airflow opens up enough for a full lung draw. High-VG shortfill is the natural pairing. If you want to look across the wider range, the Vape Mods collection covers everything at this end.
What Makes Voopoo Devices Different?
Two things do most of the work across the Voopoo range: the GENE chip and the PnP coil family. The GENE chip is the reason Voopoo devices tend to fire quickly and hold power steady through the draw, which matters most on the pod mods where you're switching between coils of different resistances. On the compact pod kits, it runs quietly in the background. On a Drag with a screen and wattage control, it's what gives you the fine-tuning.
PnP is Voopoo's original coil platform and the more widespread of the two. The same coil family covers most of the Argus, Vinci and Drag pod kits, so a spares drawer built around one Voopoo device tends to carry over when you upgrade to another. PnP-X is Voopoo's latest leak-resistant platform used in flagship sub-ohm kits like the Drag 5, while TPP is the earlier high-wattage system found on kits like the Drag X Pro.
Match the platform on your device before ordering spares. The wider Voopoo Coils range shows which resistance goes with which kit, and the Replacement Pods section covers pod refills for each of the current Voopoo families.
Are Voopoo Devices UK Compliant?
Yes. Every Voopoo device stocked here is reusable, which puts it on the right side of the rules that came into force on 1 June 2025. A UK-legal reusable vape needs a rechargeable battery, a refillable liquid container and a replaceable coil where a coil is used, all of which the Voopoo range meets.
The other rules still apply. Nicotine pods and tanks are capped at 2ml, nicotine refill bottles at 10ml, and e-liquid strength at 20mg/ml. Voopoo hardware sold here works within those limits, and every kit is TPD Compliant with checkout age-verified for over-18s only. If you're switching over from a disposable now that the ban is in force, the Rechargeable Vapes collection is where similar-format Voopoo options sit alongside other brands.
Which Voopoo Vape Should You Actually Buy?
For most people, the Argus Pro. It's the most balanced device in the range: MTL through mild DTL, PnP coil compatibility, a solid built-in battery, and a form factor you can carry every day. Everything else is a specialist pick around it.
If you're new to reusable vaping and want the simplest possible switch from a disposable, the VMATE i2 is the honest answer. If flavour tuning is the priority, the Vinci 3 has the airflow control to deliver it. If you want DTL clouds, the Drag X Pro is the middle-ground upgrade and the Drag 5 is the flagship. And if pocket size matters most, the Argus G2 Mini or the newer Argus G3 both fit the brief.
There is no single right kit for everyone. Match the format to how you'll actually use it, then let the coil do the rest.
FAQs
Are Voopoo vapes good for beginners switching from disposables?
Yes. The VMATE i2 and Argus G2 Mini are the closest fit, with small refillable 2ml pods, draw activation, and USB-C charging. Muscle memory from a disposable carries over straight away.
What's the difference between Voopoo PnP and TPP coils?
PnP is Voopoo's original coil platform, covering MTL to mild sub-ohm across most pod kits. TPP is the higher-powered platform for full DTL cloud production. The two are not interchangeable.
How long do Voopoo coils last?
One to two weeks of daily use is typical for a PnP mesh coil at moderate wattage with a balanced e-liquid. Sweeter, darker juices gunk coils faster. A burnt taste means change it.
Can I use nic salts in a Voopoo pod kit?
Yes, in the lower-powered MTL and RDL pods. A 20mg or 10mg salt in a 50/50 blend pairs naturally with the VMATE i2, Argus G2 Mini and Argus G3.
What is the difference between the Voopoo Drag and Argus range?
Argus is the versatile everyday range, MTL through mild DTL. Drag is Voopoo's higher-powered range, aimed at RDL and DTL vapers wanting more wattage. Many models share the PnP coil platform.
How do I know my Voopoo device is genuine?
Buy from a UK retailer that stocks through official channels. Every Voopoo kit at Pirate Vapes is genuine UK-market stock, with the standard authenticity scratch panel on the box where Voopoo provides one.
