Best Mid-Wattage Vape Mod Awards for 2018

Mid-Wattage at its Finest!

What a surprise, and a delight the Voopoo Drag 2 and Drag 2 Mini have been! Coming late in 2018, we feel Voopoo finally delivered a “Drag” worthy of an award winning place in the vape community. If you decide to buy, get the Starter Kit, it contains the new Voopoo UForce T2 Sub-Ohm Tank, making its $69.95 price tag a real value. With a maximum output of 177W, the Drag 2 fits the mid-wattage category nicely. Both Drag 2 Models are still used  by the staff every day.

The VOOPOO DRAG 2 177W TC Starter Kit continues the epic legacy of the original DRAG, presenting a highly intelligent GENE FIT Chip with multiple power output modes and an updated chassis to pair with the mesh-coil UFORCE T2 Sub-Ohm Tank.

The GENE.FIT Chip is dynamic and quite efficient with battery efficiency, with the addition of multiple output power adjustments such as Flavor Set, Cloud Set, and Battery Set. The UFORCE T2 Tank features 5mL maximum juice reservoir, ergonomic sliding top-fill design, triple-slotted airflow control, and the utilization of the mesh-capable UFORCE OCC Coil System.
