VOOPOO Drag H40 Pod Kit

TL;DR: The VOOPOO Drag H40 Pod Kit is a refillable 40W pod mod with a 1500mAh battery, an OLED screen and support for the full PnP coil range. It suits vapers who want sub-ohm flavour from a pocket-sized device, at £21.99 in 2026. Not ideal if you want a simple draw-activated MTL pen with no settings.

• The VOOPOO Drag H40 uses the PnP Pod II (2ml UK TPD version) and accepts PnP coils from 0.1 to 3.0 ohm.
• The kit includes a PnP-VM3 0.45 ohm coil and a PnP-TW30 0.3 ohm coil.
• The VOOPOO Drag H40 measures 104.5 x 27.5 x 26.1mm and weighs 65g.
• The VOOPOO Drag H40 costs £21.99 at Vape Online Store as of August 2026.

The VOOPOO Drag H40 Pod Kit squeezes the Drag family's power and coil system into one of the smallest true pod mods you can carry. A pod mod is a refillable pod device with mod-level features: adjustable wattage, a screen and swappable coils. You fill the pod with your own e-liquid, swap the coil when it wears out, and keep the device for months. That is why it costs pennies per day to run compared with any prefilled kit. Versus the VOOPOO Drag S, the H40 is smaller and lighter but tops out at 40W instead of 60W.

Key Specs Customers Check

Pick Your Inhale: MTL, RDL or DTL

MTL (mouth-to-lung) is a tight, cigarette-like draw. RDL (restricted direct-to-lung) is a looser pull, straight to the lungs but with some resistance. DTL (direct-to-lung) is a fully open lung inhale for maximum vapour. The Drag H40 covers all three, and the coil decides which you get:

• PnP-VM3 0.45 ohm (included): RDL to DTL at 25 to 35W. The balanced starting point for flavour and clouds.
• PnP-TW30 0.3 ohm (included): RDTL at 28 to 36W. Warmer, denser vapour; forum users rate TW coils for longer life.
• PnP-DW60 0.6 ohm or DW80 0.8 ohm (sold separately): MTL at lower wattage. Fit one of these with the airflow closed for a tight, smoke-like draw.

Coils and E-Liquid Pairing

Match the liquid to the coil and the H40 performs at its best. For the sub-ohm VM3 and TW30 coils, use a 70VG shortfill; VG (vegetable glycerine) is the thicker part of e-liquid that makes vapour, and thin liquids flood low-resistance coils. Community feedback suggests 60 to 70VG is the sweet spot for leak-free wicking. Browse 100ml shortfill e-liquids for that setup. If you fit a 0.6 or 0.8 ohm MTL coil, switch to 50/50 liquid or 10ml nic salts: nic salts give a smoother throat hit at higher strengths, ideal for ex-smokers. Heavy smokers usually start at 20mg salts on MTL, or 3 to 6mg freebase on the sub-ohm coils.

Battery Life, Coil Life and Running Cost

Tested at moderate use, the 1500mAh cell lasts roughly nine hours of steady vaping, which translates to a full day for most people. A PnP coil typically lasts about six refills, roughly a week of normal use. Real-world running cost works out around £5 to £7 per week: one coil (about £2.40 to £2.80 from a 5-pack) plus 15 to 20ml of e-liquid. A disposable habit at three devices a week costs three to four times that.

Compatibility and Refills

The H40 takes the VOOPOO PnP II replacement pods, the same pod used by the Drag E60 and H80S. Coils push-fit into the pod from underneath: the full classic PnP range fits, including VOOPOO PnP replacement coils (VM and DW series) and the newer PnP TW coils in 0.15, 0.2 and 0.3 ohm. One trap to avoid: PnP X coils do not fit. Those are a different platform made for the Drag X2 and S2 pods, so check the packet says PnP, not PnP X.

Best Colours

The Drag H40 comes in eight finishes. Black and Gunmetal are the discreet picks and suit anyone who wants a device that disappears into a pocket or workbag. Silvery White gives a cleaner, modern look that hides fingerprints well. Modern Red and Green stand out and tend to be chosen by vapers who like their kit to look distinctive, while Sky Blue, Snow Blue and Pink are the lighter options if you prefer a softer finish. If in doubt, Black is the most searched and the safest choice.

How to Set Up the VOOPOO Drag H40

1. Pull the pod off the device and check the preinstalled VM3 coil is pushed fully home from underneath.
2. Open the side-fill bung and fill the pod slowly with e-liquid; tilting it slightly stops an air bubble blocking the fill hole on the 2ml pod.
3. Wait 10 minutes. This primes the coil, meaning the cotton soaks fully so the first puff is not dry and burnt.
4. Click the pod back in, press the fire button five times to switch on, and set 25 to 35W for the VM3 (Smart Mode does this automatically).
5. Start at the lower end of the wattage band and work up until the flavour peaks.

How to Make It Last Longer

• Never fire a dry pod. Refill before the liquid drops below the coil inlets; dry firing kills a coil instantly.
• Stay inside the coil's wattage band. Pushing a 0.45 ohm coil past 35W burns the cotton early.
• Wipe the magnetic contacts weekly. Vapers on the E-Cigarette Forum report small droplets gathering at the coil base; a quick wipe stops it reaching the connections.
• Avoid chain vaping. Leave a few seconds between puffs so the wick re-saturates.
• Use 60 to 70VG liquid in sub-ohm coils. Thin, high-PG liquid floods them and causes spitting.
• Charge before empty. Topping up at 20 to 30% is kinder to the battery than repeated full drains.

VOOPOO Drag H40 Price Comparison

As of August 2026, Greet Vape lists the Drag H40 at £39.99 and shows it sold out, and Vape UK has discontinued the kit entirely. Vape Online Store stocks all eight colours at £21.99, which makes it one of the cheapest routes into the PnP coil system in the UK. It now even undercuts the larger Drag S at £24.99, which shares the same coils but adds a bigger 2500mAh battery and a 60W ceiling in a noticeably larger body.

VOOPOO Drag H40 FAQs

Which coils fit the VOOPOO Drag H40?

Any classic PnP coil from 0.1 to 3.0 ohm fits, including the VM series, TW series and the MTL DW60 and DW80. PnP X coils do not fit; they belong to the Drag X2 and S2 pod platform.

Is the Drag H40 MTL or DTL?

Both. Out of the box it is set up for RDL and DTL with the 0.45 and 0.3 ohm coils. Fit a 0.6 or 0.8 ohm PnP coil and close the airflow for a tight MTL draw.

Why is my Drag H40 leaking?

A common question on the E-Cigarette Forum and vaping forums. Usual causes are a coil not pushed fully home, thin high-PG liquid in a sub-ohm coil, or overfilling. Seat the coil firmly, use 60 to 70VG liquid and wipe the contacts weekly.

How long do PnP coils last in the Drag H40?

About six refills per coil, which is roughly a week for a typical vaper. A burnt taste or muted flavour means it is time to change. TW coils generally outlast the VM series.

What is the difference between Smart Mode and RBA Mode?

Smart Mode reads the fitted coil and caps the wattage to a safe range automatically, which is the best setting for beginners. RBA Mode unlocks the full 5 to 40W range for manual control.

Does the Drag H40 take a 5ml pod?

The UK version ships with the 2ml TPD-compliant PnP Pod II. An XL version of the same pod exists with a larger capacity and fits the device in exactly the same way.

What e-liquid should I use in the Drag H40?

Use 70VG shortfills at 3 to 6mg on the included sub-ohm coils. If you switch to an MTL coil, use 50/50 e-liquid or nic salts at 10 to 20mg for a smoother, stronger hit.
