Voopoo Drag H80S Review (2025): Power, Portability & Precision in One Device

Looking for a vape kit that delivers mod-level performance without the bulk? The Voopoo Drag H80S Vape Kit might be your perfect match. Combining smart features, a sleek form factor, and powerful output, it’s a standout in Voopoo’s Drag series. In this review, we break down everything you need to know before buying.

Overview: What Is the Voopoo Drag H80S?

The Voopoo Drag H80S is a single 18650 battery pod mod kit designed for sub-ohm vaping. It pairs high performance with a lightweight, ergonomic design—ideal for vapers who want portability and customisation in one.

Key Specs:

• Wattage Range: 5W – 80W

• Battery: 1x 18650 (external, not included)

• Tank/Pod: PnP Pod II (top-fill)

• Compatible Coils: All PnP Series

• Display: 0.96" TFT colour screen

• Charging: USB-C

• Modes: SMART, RBA, ECO

• Dimensions: 123 x 26 x 32mm

Smart Mode vs. RBA Mode: What's the Difference?

The Drag H80S offers multiple vaping modes that cater to different experience levels:

• SMART Mode: Ideal for beginners or convenience-focused vapers. It detects the coil you're using and automatically sets the safest and most efficient wattage—reducing risk of burning out coils.

• RBA Mode: Gives full control over wattage and settings, perfect for advanced users who want to fine-tune performance. Especially useful if you're using rebuildable PnP coils or experimenting with flavour tuning.

Having both modes makes the H80S adaptable to your learning curve.

Performance & Flavour

With support for Voopoo’s PnP coil range, the Drag H80S delivers:

• Excellent vapour production (especially with PnP-TW15 0.15Ω or TW20 0.2Ω coils)

• Clean, rich flavour across fruity, dessert and icy profiles

• Smart mode that automatically adjusts wattage for your coil

• RBA mode for vapers who want full control

Whether you’re running high-VG shortfills or experimenting with custom wattage settings, it handles it all with impressive consistency.

Airflow & Draw

The Drag H80S features an adjustable airflow dial at the top of the pod:

• Tight MTL to loose DTL airflow range

• No leaking thanks to Voopoo’s redesigned top-fill pod structure

• Silky smooth draw with minimal turbulence

This makes it a solid choice for Direct-to-Lung (DTL) vaping, and passable for Restricted DTL (RDL).

Battery & Charging

Using an external 18650 battery gives you flexibility—swap out your battery when needed instead of waiting to recharge.

• USB-C fast charging is available for convenience

• Eco mode extends battery life noticeably during low power

You can expect a full day’s use on mid-range wattage settings (~40–50W), depending on coil resistance.

Build Quality & Design

The Drag H80S has a premium look and feel, featuring:

• Zinc alloy and leather/fabric accents

• Magnetic pod connection

• Ergonomic curve for a solid hand feel

• Available in a range of colours including Carbon Fiber, Red, and Sunset Orange

It’s noticeably lighter than dual-battery mods, yet solid enough to feel premium.
