A vape mod is at the top of the range in power and control. High wattage, a sub-ohm tank, removable cells and a wide direct-to-lung draw. It is not a first device, and we would rather say so than sell you one.
We stock two, both from brands with real service records: the VOOPOO Drag 5 at up to 177W on two 18650 cells, and the VAPORESSO Armour Max at up to 220W on two 21700 cells, or two 18650 on the adapter supplied in the box. Both charge over USB-C and both have colour screens.
Coils: the mistake that costs the most
The supplied tanks use different coil platforms. Drag 5’s UForce-X uses PnP X coils; the stocked Armour Max’s iTank T 6ml uses GTi coils. Match replacement coils to the tank actually fitted.
GTX is a different VAPORESSO coil platform, and GTL belongs to Eleaf. Neither replaces GTi in the supplied iTank T. Match replacement coils to the exact tank fitted.
Tanks are a separate choice. The Uforce-X and the PnP X pod tank both take the PnP X platform.
Choosing a compatible battery
Both devices take two removable cells, sold separately. The Drag 5 takes two 18650s. The Armour Max takes two 21700, or two 18650 using the adapter it ships with. In either case, the number that matters is the continuous discharge rating in amps rather than the capacity in milliamp-hours. A high-capacity cell with a low discharge rating will sag under load and will not deliver what the screen says.
For Armour Max, follow the manual’s minimum 25A requirement and exact format instructions. Vapcell lists P42A at 30A continuous discharge. Under the stated 3.2V and 90% efficiency model, 220W requires approximately 38A per cell; a lower selected output does not override other manufacturer requirements.
Cells should be bought in matched pairs, kept in a case rather than loose, and retired when the wrap is damaged.
What to run in it
Use a liquid ratio and labelled concentration supported by the fitted coil. Many stocked high-VG freebase bottles are 70/30. Doozy Cool Mint Seriously Pod Fill is the separate 50/50 low-power option.
Avoid high-strength nicotine salts in high-power DTL setups. Nicotine delivery depends on the liquid concentration, power, fitted coil and puffing pattern; no fixed delivery multiplier is established here. Follow the exact tank, coil and liquid guidance.
Compare the exact bottle price divided by supplied volume with the current sealed-device options. Include any required shots, replacement coils and hardware when comparing complete or ongoing purchases. Larger bottles do not guarantee lower total running costs.
Is a mod right for you
A mod suits you if you want maximum vapour and full manual control, you are comfortable buying and caring for cells, and you already know that you prefer a direct-to-lung draw.
A mod is the wrong starting point if this is your first refillable device. Start at a pod kit or a pod mod and move up if you find you want more. The 2026 refillable buying guide sets the three classes side by side.
Delivery
Nairobi and nearby towns, same day on an early dispatch. Many central Nairobi orders arrive in around 15 to 90 minutes, though this depends on location, traffic and rider availability. Next working day by courier to Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret, Nakuru and Naivasha, and 1 to 2 business days elsewhere in Kenya. For courier destinations, a dedicated courier may deliver to your address, while a bus or matatu courier may send the parcel to its office for collection. If it is sent to a bus office, bring your ID and the carrier message saying it is ready. Vapesoko does not offer walk-in shopping or collection from its own premises. M-Pesa or cash on delivery, and free delivery in Nairobi on orders meeting the current Nairobi free-delivery threshold. First-time customers are age-verified by voluntary WhatsApp ID submission or rider inspection before handover. Delivery policy. Cash on delivery is available only in Nairobi and environs served by our own riders; it is not available for courier orders.
