Drag S2 vs Drag X2: Which One Should You Choose?

The Voopoo Drag S2 and Voopoo Drag X2 are among the freshest releases in the Drag series. Both bring strong innovation, but they aim at slightly different users. In this guide, you’ll get a side-by-side comparison of Drag S2 vs Drag X2. We’ll look at performance, coil support, price in the UK, ease of use, and more. 

If you vape in the UK, this matters; you want a kit that’s legal (TPD, etc.), reliable, and gives value. 

When it comes to drag s2 design, the device features a leather-wrapped middle with zinc alloy body panels. It feels solid and slightly weighty in hand.

The drag x2 design leans more modular: it has a leather + metal aesthetic too, but with a removable battery cover (C-frame design).

Overall, S2 is more compact (because the battery is internal), while X2 offers a more premium “mod + pod” look and feel.

In real use, the Drag S2 with its 2500 mAh battery handles moderate vaping well. With a 5–60 W range and Smart / RBA / Eco modes, it’s quite versatile.

The Drag X2 steps it up: using an external 18650 battery, it can push up to 80 W. That gives more headroom for cloud or flavour-intensive setups.

Which one gives longer sessions? It depends on the battery and wattage. In general:

• S2: consistent but limited by internal capacity
• X2: You can carry spare 18650s and extend sessions

Pros under performance:

• S2: stable output without needing external cells, smart mode simplifies use
• X2: higher max wattage, flexibility via external battery, more tuning potential

Both devices use PnP X pods and coils, so coil compatibility is shared.

For MTL (mouth-to-lung) leaning users, both support higher resistance coils (0.6 Ω, etc.). The S2 is slightly more beginner-friendly here thanks to the built-in battery. For DTL / cloud chasing, the X2’s higher wattage helps.

Side-fill is used by both devices, and the pod has a rubber plug. "How to fill Drag S2" and "How to fill Drag X2" just include raising the plug and removing the pod. Coils push in and pods may be removed, making coil changes simple.

Power and charging: S2 uses USB Type-C (5V/2A) to internally charge. The 18650 must be recharged externally or in a charger; however, the X2 has electronics to charge (or support).

X2 provides greater versatility but requires a little more upkeep because it uses replaceable batteries. S2 is easier to use for novices.

• Drag S2 – ideal for someone who wants a compact, beginner-friendly kit that handles a mix of MTL / DTL. No need to manage external batteries. If you commute or prefer minimal hassle, S2 is smart.
• Drag X2 – ideal for those who vape harder, want more power, and don’t mind swapping batteries. If you chase dense clouds or want more tweaking, X2 gives you room.

Scenario examples:

• If you want a smaller vape for commuting, go with the Drag S2.
• If you already own 18650 batteries and want flexibility, Drag X2 is your pick.
• If your style is MTL or flavour-focused rather than clouds, S2 gives enough headroom.

How to fill Drag X2 vs S2:

• Remove pod/cartridge from body.
• Lasts longer between charges?
• Because Drag X2 uses a swappable 18650, you can carry spares, so runtime can beat S2, especially at high Lift rubber plug on side of pod.
• Fill with e-liquid (not beyond fill line).
• Seal plug back, reinsert pod.

How to unlock X2 (if device is locked):

• Press the fire button 5 times rapidly to unlock.
• Use + / – + fire to access the menu, then the “Lock / Unlock” option.

How to change coils:

• Remove the pod, pull out the old coil, and push in a new PnP X coil.
• Let the coil soak 5–10 minutes before vaping.

Power on/off:

• Press fire 5 times to turn on/off (applies to both).

Which device lasts longer between charges?

Because Drag X2 uses a swappable 18650, you can carry spares, so runtime can beat S2, especially at higher wattage.

Can you use the same coils for VooPoo Drag S2 vs X2?

Yes, both use the PnP X coil platform, so coils are interchangeable.

Which is better for nicotine salts?

Nicotine salts are often used with lower wattage (MTL style), so Drag S2 is slightly more forgiving and easier to manage for salts.

How to unlock Drag X2?

Press the fire button 5 times rapidly, then navigate the menu with + / – and set “Unlock.

So, which one is right for you? If you want an easy, all-in-one kit with fewer moving parts, Drag S2 is a solid choice.

But if you want extra power, flexibility, and already use 18650 batteries, Drag X2 is the stronger pick. Use the comparison tables and your vaping style (MTL vs DTL vs cloud chaser) to guide you.
