10 Best Vopoo Vapes You Can Actually Buy In Uk
If you've spent five minutes scrolling vape forums, you'll know VooPoo isn't just another name on a shelf. It's the brand that basically invented the GENE chip, the bit of tech inside most decent pod kits that makes them fire instantly instead of lagging like a dodgy Bluetooth speaker. Since 2017, VooPoo has quietly become one of the most trusted names in Vape Kits, and for good reason which is solid batteries, leak resistant pods, and coils that don't die after three days.
Why Voopoo Vapes Are Worth Considering?
VooPoo built its reputation on the GENE chip, a piece of tech co-developed with a US chip company that lets devices fire in as little as 0.001 seconds. That's not a marketing number for the sake of it, it genuinely changes how a vape feels in your hand. No delay, no weird half second wait after you press the button.
The other big thing VooPoo does well is coil life. Their PnP X coil platform is built with a four layer leakproof structure and thermally treated cotton, meaning a single pod can handle up to 100ml of e-liquid before the flavour starts fading. That's a genuinely long lifespan for a coil.
The single most important thing to know about VooPoo devices is that the PnP X coil platform is designed to outlast almost anything else on the market, which means fewer replacements and lower running costs over time.
How We Picked These 10 Kits?
We only included devices currently in stock (or restockable) on How To Vape, covering a proper spread of budgets, battery sizes, and vaping styles. Some of these are dead simple pod kits for people who just quit smoking. Others are proper sub-ohm mods for cloud chasers. We've tried to make sure there's a fit here whatever kind of vaper you are.
We looked at battery capacity, coil compatibility, build quality, and (because let's be honest, it matters) how much replacement parts cost long term. A cheap kit that needs a new coil every three days isn't actually cheap.
1. VOOPOO Argus G4 Mini
The VOOPOO Argus G4 Mini is the smallest device in this whole list, and that's exactly the point. It's built for people who want something that disappears into a coat pocket and doesn't feel like carrying a small brick around. It runs on VooPoo's iCOSM style leakproof pod system, so there will not be any leaks.
Coming in at £12.99, it's one of the most affordable proper VooPoo kits on the site, which makes it a brilliant "try VooPoo without committing" option. It's compatible with the wider PnP coil family too, so finding replacement coils later is never a hassle.
Best for: beginners, ex-smokers, anyone who wants a pocket sized MTL device without paying flagship prices.
2. VOOPOO Argus G4 Pod Vape Kit
If the Mini is the compact option, the standard Argus G4 Pod Vape Kit (£19.99) is the slightly bigger sibling with a beefier battery for people who don't want to charge every night. It keeps the same leak resistant pod design but gives you a bit more runtime and a marginally bigger screen for keeping an eye on battery level and puff count.
Best for: vapers who liked the idea of the Mini but want longer battery life between charges.
3. VOOPOO Vinci 3
The VOOPOO Vinci 3 (£19.99) is arguably the most balanced kit VooPoo currently makes, and it's a genuine bestseller for a reason. It uses a Mobius airflow system that lets you switch between a tight, cigarette-like draw and a looser, cloudier one just by twisting the airflow ring. That flexibility is rare at this price point.
It runs a 5 to 50W output range and works with the full PnP coil family, including dedicated MTL coils if you prefer a tighter pull. Whether you're doing high-VG shortfills or nic salts, the Vinci 3 handles both without needing to swap the whole device.
The Vinci 3 is the one kit on this list that genuinely works for both MTL and DTL vaping styles without any compromise, which is why it's consistently one of VooPoo's most recommended kits.
Best for: vapers who can't decide between a tight MTL draw and looser DTL clouds, or don't want to choose.
4. VOOPOO Drag H40 Pro
Stepping up in power, the VOOPOO Drag H40 Pro (£39.99) packs a 2450mAh built in battery and 40W of adjustable output into a cylindrical pod mod body wrapped in zinc alloy and leather. It's a proper "all day, every day" device, comfortable to hold and quick to top up thanks to fast Type-C charging.
It uses the PnP X coil platform (naturally) and ships with both an MTL and a DTL pod option, so you can genuinely use one device for two totally different vaping styles depending on your mood. Multiple safety protections (overcharge, overheat, short circuit) are baked in too, which matters more than people think.
Best for: intermediate vapers who want more power than a basic pod kit but aren't ready for a full sub-ohm box mod.
5. VooPoo Argus G3 Pod Vape Kit
The Argus G3 (£26.99) sits right in the middle of VooPoo's Argus range and it's stuck around for a reason: it just works. Metal and leather construction, a comfortable grip, and compatibility across VooPoo's PnP coil ecosystem. It's not flashy, but it's dependable, which is exactly what a lot of people actually want from an everyday vape.
If you've been using disposables and want your first proper Vape Kits purchase, the Argus G3 is a sensible landing spot: familiar pod shape, but refillable and far cheaper to run long term.
Best for: ex-disposable users making their first switch to a refillable device.
6. VooPoo Argus GT Vape Kit
The Argus GT (£69.95) is where things start getting serious. This is a proper sub-ohm device for people who want big clouds and a bit more control over their vape, without needing a physics degree to operate it. It's built with the same Argus reliability but scaled up for higher wattage output.
It's a noticeable jump in price from the pod kits above, but it's aimed at a different type of vaper entirely, someone who's outgrown simple MTL pods and wants proper cloud production and flavour depth.
Best for: experienced vapers ready to move into sub-ohm territory.
7. VooPoo Argus GT 2
The Argus GT 2 takes the GT formula and turns it up. Running on dual 18650 batteries (sold separately) and pushing up to 200W, it comes with the IP68 rated MAAT tank, a 6.5ml capacity leakproof tank built for serious vapour production. Multiple firing modes, including temperature control (TC-Ni, TC-Ti, TCR), give experienced users a genuinely deep level of customisation.
This is not a beginner device, and it's not trying to be. It's for people who know exactly what wattage and resistance they want and just need the hardware to deliver it reliably.
The GT 2's 200W dual battery setup makes it one of the most powerful refillable options VooPoo currently offers, built specifically for high VG e-liquids and heavy cloud production.
Best for: advanced vapers and cloud chasers who want full temperature control.
8. VooPoo Drag X2
The DRAG line is VooPoo's flagship series, and the current generation carries that legacy forward with a refined pod mod design running on a single 18650 battery (sold separately) and 5 to 80W of output. The GENE.TT chip brings that signature 0.001 second firing speed, and SMART mode automatically recognises your coil and sets the right wattage so you're not guessing.
Metal and leather construction again, because VooPoo clearly knows that's what people like, with a clear 0.96 inch TFT screen showing everything you need at a glance.
Best for: vapers who want DRAG series performance and don't mind swapping their own 18650 batteries.
9. VooPoo Vmate i2 Vape Pod Kit
The Vmate i2 (£14.99) is VooPoo's answer to "I just want to inhale and vape, no buttons, no menus." It's a draw activated pod kit built for pure simplicity, ideal for anyone who finds adjustable wattage and screens more confusing than helpful.
It's small, light, and genuinely one of the easiest devices on this whole list to hand to someone who's never vaped before. If simplicity is the priority over customisation, this is the pick.
10. VooPoo Drag Nano 2
Rounding out the list is the Drag Nano 2, an ultra-compact, button-free device with an 800mAh battery and USB-C charging. Despite its tiny size, it still offers three adjustable power levels (low, medium, high) up to 20W, and its 2ml top-fill pods work with both nic salts and 50/50 e-liquids.
It's the kind of device that lives in a jacket pocket and gets forgotten about until you need it, which for a lot of people is exactly the point.
Refillable Vape Kits Vs Everything Else: Why It Matters?
Every single device on this list falls under Refillable Vape Kits, and that's not a small detail. A refillable system means you're topping up e-liquid yourself and swapping coils every couple of weeks, rather than throwing away an entire device once it runs dry. Over a year, that difference adds up to a genuinely significant saving, and it's a lot less wasteful too.
Choosing refillable systems over anything single-use isn't just a compliance requirement in the UK anymore, it's simply the more cost-effective way to vape long term.
Keeping Costs Down With Replacement Pods-
This is the bit people skip past and then regret. Replacement Pods and coils are where the real savings live. A pod handling 100ml of e-liquid before it needs changing is worth far more than a cheaper coil that dies in a week. If you're running an Argus device, VOOPOO PnP X Replacement Pods are the ones to keep stocked, they're compatible across most of the current PnP-based lineup, including several devices on this list.
Buying replacement pods in multi-packs rather than one at a time also tends to work out noticeably cheaper per unit, so it's worth stocking up rather than buying reactively every time one wears out.
Mtl Vs Dtl: Which Style Suits You?
Mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping mimics a cigarette draw: you pull the vapour into your mouth first, then inhale it. It uses higher-resistance coils (0.8 ohm and above) and suits ex-smokers who want that familiar throat hit. Direct-to-lung (DTL) skips that step, going straight to the lungs on a looser, airier draw, and uses lower-resistance coils (below 0.5 ohm) for bigger clouds and softer throat hits.
FAQ’s
1. How long does a VooPoo PnP X coil actually last?
A. Around 100ml worth of e-liquid before flavour starts noticeably fading, though high-VG liquids and heavy chain vaping can shorten that. Most people get one to three weeks depending on usage.
2. Is the Argus G4 Mini good for someone who's never vaped before?
A. Yes, it's one of the simplest devices on this list. Minimal buttons, small and portable, and built specifically for an MTL draw that feels close to smoking.
3. Can I use the same coils across different VooPoo devices?
A. Mostly, yes. Anything built on the PnP or PnP X platform shares coil compatibility, though it's always worth double checking your exact model before buying replacements, since Argus and Vinci pods aren't always interchangeable.
4. What's the actual difference between the Drag and Argus ranges?
A. Drag devices lean towards higher wattage, external batteries, and more customisation for experienced vapers. Argus devices are generally more compact, built-in battery pod kits aimed at everyday, simpler use.
5. Do I need high-VG or 50/50 e-liquid for these kits?
A. Depends on the coil resistance. Higher resistance coils (0.8 ohm+) pair better with 50/50 or nic salt liquids. Lower resistance coils (under 0.5 ohm) are built for high-VG liquids and bigger vapour production.
6. How do I know if a VooPoo device is genuine and not fake?
A. Genuine VooPoo devices include an anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging, checkable through VooPoo's official verification system. Buying from an authorised UK retailer is the simplest way to avoid the issue entirely.
7. Is the Drag H40 Pro too powerful for a beginner?
A. Not really. Its Smart Mode automatically sets the wattage based on the coil you've installed, so you're not manually dialling anything in. It's more that the price point suits someone already sure they'll stick with vaping.
8. How often should I actually replace a vape pod versus just the coil?
A. If it's a device with replaceable coils inside a reusable pod (like PnP X), you generally only replace the coil every couple of weeks. If it's a sealed built-in coil pod (like Vmate i2's pods), the whole pod gets replaced once the coil inside dies.
9. What's the real cost difference between a cheap kit and a pricier VooPoo one over a year?
A. It's less about the kit price and more about coil lifespan. A cheap kit needing coils every few days can end up costing more annually than a pricier kit with 100ml-rated coils lasting weeks at a time.
Conclusion
VooPoo has genuinely earned its reputation, not through flashy marketing but through devices that just do what they're supposed to. Whether you're picking up the tiny, pocket-friendly Argus G4 Mini for £12.99 or going all in on the 200W Argus GT 2, every device covered here is built around the same core idea: reliable firing, leakproof pods, and coils that don't need replacing every other day.
If you're brand new to vaping, start simple: the Argus G4 Mini or the Vmate i2 will get you comfortable without overwhelming you. If you've got a bit of experience under your belt, the Vinci 3 or Drag H40 Pro give you room to grow. And if clouds are the whole point for you, the Argus GT 2 or Drag X2 won't disappoint.
Whatever you pick, remember the running costs matter as much as the upfront price. Stock up on genuine VOOPOO PnP X Replacement Pods and you'll get the most out of whichever kit you choose.
