What a removable cell actually changes
A swappable cell changes the arithmetic of owning a vape. Run one flat, and you fit another, which, on a long day away from a socket, is the difference between vaping and not. It also means the device outlives its battery instead of dying with it.
What that asks of you is a shopping list. The X3 ships without a cell, and the point of a spare is lost unless you also have somewhere to charge it, which is what a separate charger buys you: one cell in the device, one on the bench.
The cell, and where to charge it
The Drag X3 accepts one supported 18650 or 21700 cell; the supplied sleeve adapts the battery bay for an 18650. Compare each cell’s ratings and the device requirements before choosing. Runtime depends on the exact cell, settings and use. Related: Accessories.
The X3 specifies USB-C charging at 5V/2A. A compatible external charger can charge a spare cell separately; follow the device, cell and charger instructions.
The touchscreen and the lock that comes with it
A 1.66-inch touchscreen is the largest display in the collection outside the Caliburn G4 Pro, and it is a touchscreen, not a menu you button through. Three themes ship with it.
The standard touchscreen X3 has capacitive unlock and multiple access options, also documented for its sibling, the VOOPOO Drag S3 Pod Mod Kit 3000mAh 60W. VOOPOO documents capacitive, button and maintained-unlocked access modes for both the standard touchscreen Drag X3 and Drag S3. Follow the exact supplied manual to select an access mode. These options are not proof that every accidental activation is prevented; check the device’s lock state before carrying it.
The S and the X, and what three generations show
Across three generations the pattern holds exactly: the S model has a sealed internal battery and the X model takes a removable cell, with the X also carrying the higher wattage. Drag S and Drag X, S2 and X2, S3 and X3.
In the Drag pairs described here, the S model has a built-in battery and the X model uses a removable cell. Match the exact model when choosing batteries and replacement parts.
Filling it, and the one thing not to do
This kit can be configured for direct lung with a supported PnP X coil. The 0.15Ω coil is rated at 60–80W and the 0.2Ω at 40–60W; do not apply the 80W device ceiling to every coil. Choose liquid suited to the fitted cartridge or tank, coil and operating power. Follow the marked coil band and exact liquid/device guidance for ratio and concentration. Avoid high-strength nicotine salts in high-power DTL use; resistance alone does not establish a universal nicotine concentration. Doozy Vape Co 100ml and Ultimate Puff 120ml on the E-Liquids shelf offer options to compare against the exact fitted setup.
The MTL cartridge with a higher-resistance coil turns it into a salt device instead. What must not happen is a high-strength salt meeting the wattages this thing is capable of.
Power and battery options
The standard Drag X3 has adjustable output up to 80W and a 1.66-inch touchscreen. Select the fitted coil’s marked operating range and a suitable supported cell.
The bridge to the vape mods
The X3 and VOOPOO Drag 5 Mod Kit 177W Dual 18650 share supported PnP X coil options, but that does not make every tank, cartridge or cell interchangeable. The X3 takes one suitable 18650 or 21700; the Drag 5 requires two suitable matched 18650s. A 21700 does not fit the Drag 5, and one existing 18650 does not establish a suitable matched pair or rating. Check each component’s exact compatibility and operating requirements.
If eighty watts is enough and you would rather not think about batteries, the VOOPOO Argus Pro 2 Pod Mod Kit 3000mAh 80W reaches the same ceiling with the cell sealed in.
Before the first draw
Fit the cell the right way round; the tray is marked. Then prime the coil: a few drops on the exposed cotton, fill the cartridge, refit, and wait five minutes.
VOOPOO rates the PnP X platform for up to 100ml of e-liquid per coil under its test conditions; actual coil life varies with use. If carrying a compatible spare cell, keep it in a suitable protective battery case.
