VOOPOO, pronounced vew-poh, is a China-based hardware maker that became one of the vape industry’s fastest growing manufacturers. Its devices are known mainly for the GENE Chip that runs them.
Where the company came from
VOOPOO did not begin in vaping. Its original aim was to supply the medical and industrial markets. With a solid base in technology, it chose to branch out, and in 2017 it bought the U.S. brand Woody Vapes, which marked its formal entry into the vape business.
The company builds mods and starter kits, covering beginners as well as experienced vapers. It is credited with the record for the world’s fastest firing speed, and every VOOPOO device includes a power compensation mode. The range has a reputation for being durable and versatile.
The GENE Chip and the Drag family
The GENE Chip is the chipset behind VOOPOO’s power output and its customization settings. Three devices carry it: the VOOPOO Drag, the VOOPOO Drag Mini Kit and the VOOPOO Drag 2.
The original VOOPOO Drag Mod is the reference point:
- Chipset: 32-bit GENE Chip with extensive output settings
- Power: up to 157W
- Batteries: two high-amp 18650 rechargeable cells
- Supported heating elements: Ni200 nickel, titanium and stainless steel
- Display: OLED screen
- In the kit: VOOPOO Drag 157W Box Mod, micro USB charging cable and user manual
Tanks and coils
Beyond the mods, the VOOPOO collection has included these parts:
- VOOPOO Uforce Coils, sold as a 5-pack in resistances between 0.13ohm and 0.6ohm
- The VOOPOO Uforce T1 Tank, which fills through a sliding top and holds 8mL of e-juice
