Up for review is Voopoo’s latest release to their ever increasing product range…the Drag H40 Pro which is a design upgrade from their original Drag H40 that was released back in 2023.
Drag H40 Pro verses the earlier Drag H40
We reviewed the original Drag H40 when it first came out so will include and highlight any changes and upgrades from that release that have been implemented into the new Drag H40 Pro version. First impressions were very positive and we’re happy to see it still maintains its impressive compact form factor.
Gone is the earlier PnP Pod 2 that came with the Drag H40, which accepted the PnP coils, as the Pro version now includes and uses the renowned PnP-X MTL or PnP-X DTL pod with its replaceable PnP-X coils that we’ve seen and loved when using and reviewing the latest Drag S3 and Drag X3 devices.
Size difference between the new Drag H40 Pro and the earlier Drag H40
The Drag H40 Pro still maintains its original maximum output power of 40W but now comes with a much bigger internal battery capacity, faster charging speed, slightly bigger diameter body and a larger HD display with different theme layouts.
As always we will give a quick overview covering the main points and features of the Voopoo Drag H40 Pro kit and then jump into the main body of the review covering everything it has to offer.
Overview of the Drag H40 Pro
The Drag H40 Pro has a variable wattage output power of 5W – 40W, is a cylindrical style very compact device and powered by an internal 2450mAh capacity battery, upgraded from 1500mAh on the original Drag H40. It boasts a 0.72 inch TFT HD color display screen, again upgraded from 0.54 inch OLED on the Drag H40, and also comes with 3 different screen layout options.
Manufactured from Zinc Alloy, it’s available in 8 different colors and surrounded with a 360o wrap around stitched premium leather hide in matching colors. The famous extra-large “DRAG” branded on the leather hide of the earlier Drag H40 has been toned down a little on the H40 Pro so looks nice and discrete now.
A 2.0A Type-C USB fast charging port, originally 1.5A on the Drag H40, is still located on the base of the Drag H40 Pro and will fully charge the device in approximately 90 minutes. It does include pass-through vaping so you can vape while it’s being charged.
The 0.72 inch TFT HD color display, together with the fire button and + / – control buttons, are positioned on a raised platform on the side edge of the Drag H40 Pro body. Accurate power levels, ultra-fast firing speeds and the usual host of safety features are controlled from its GENE chip.
As we mentioned earlier, the Drag H40 Pro now comes with the exceptional PnP-X MTL pod with replaceable PnP-X coils, has top variable airflow control, an e-liquid capacity of 2ml (TPD version) or 5ml standard version with a concealed side e-liquid filling port.
PnP-X DTL pods are also available that come with a removable 810 wide bore drip tip. The MTL version we have here to review comes with a 510 narrow bore removable drip tip and includes a 0.6 ohm and 0.8 ohm PnP-X coils. The DTL version comes with the PnP-X 0.3 ohm and 0.45 ohm coils.
We reviewed the PnP-X DTL pod when reviewing the Drag S3 and Drag X3 at the end of 2025 so do take a look if Direct to Lung vaping is you’re preferred style.
Before we move on to the main body of our review, I would like to thank Siren and Rebecca at Voopoo for sending us the Drag H40 Pro to review. As always this review is completely unbiased and is my honest opinion based during my findings while using and reviewing this product.

Packaging
The Drag H40 Pro kit comes in a standard draw type cardboard box with a slide off outer sleeve and measures 144mm x 93mm x 39mm. Once the outer sleeve is removed, a thin cardboard wallet that contains the User Manual and PnP-X Platform Compatibility Guide sits on top of a white foam insert tray.
Removing the wallet gives access to the Drag H40 Pro with the PnP-X MTL Pod attached, the spare PnP-X 0.8 ohm coil in a sealed wrapper and the Type-C charging cable all held within the foam in their own sections.
On the front of the sleeve is a photo of the Drag H40 Pro in the color of the included device. Printed above the photo is “Voopoo” and “Drag H40 Pro” in large black lettering. As with all Voopoo devices, the packaging sleeve is now colored yellow with the famous “00” chain link from the Voopoo name splashed across the front and side in silver.
The left side of the outer sleeve has “Voopoo” in large black lettering and a small “QR Code about Voopoo”. The right side of the sleeve has the company and device name printed at the top, 3 boxed icons that read “PnP-X Coils Platform”, “2450mAh Battery” and “40W Power Output” and an “Authentication Sticker” and two Barcodes with the “Color” of the included device.
On the reverse side of the sleeve are the package contents, the manufacturer’s details and the relevant safety warnings.
Preparing to Use the Voopoo Drag H40 Pro
When you first unbox your Drag H40 Pro kit, the PnP-X pod comes attached to the Drag H40 Pro which is pre-fitted with the PnP-X 0.6 ohm coil. Before you can use your device, take off the PnP-X pod and remove the thin film coil protector from the base plate of the coil.
Once removed, take the coil out of the PnP-X Pod and prime your coil by dripping a few drops of e-liquid into each of the wicking ports so the coil and wick become saturated.
Insert the coil back into the base of the pod and fill the PnP-X Pod with e-liquid through the e-liquid filling port that’s behind the black silicone rubber stopper. Refit the PnP X Pod and leave to stand for approximately 10-15 minutes before using so the e-liquid fully saturates the wicking material.
We have written a guide on “How to Prolong the Life of your Coil” which you may find worthwhile reading.
The Drag H40 Pro comes with a nominal charge so it can be used straight away but we do recommend fully charging the device before you first use it. Powering the Drag H40 Pro is easy; simply click the fire button 5 times and the device will turn on. I would suggest first lowering the wattage to its minimum (5W) and take a few draws to slowly bed the new coil in. Increase the wattage in 1W increments, each time taking a draw or two until you reach the wattage that gives you your ideal draw.
We’ve covered the operation and navigation of the menu structure in the Functionality section of our review so jump to that if you need help adjusting any of the different settings.
Voopoo Drag H40 Pro Design and Appearance
Drag H40 Pro Body/Battery
The Drag H40 Pro is a compact cylindrical tube shaped variable wattage (5W – 40W) device with an internal 2450mAh capacity rechargeable battery. A 0.72 inch TFT HD multi-color display with a circular fire button and two smaller + / – control buttons sit within a rectangular raised shroud on the face of the Drag H40 Pro body.
Dimensions of the Drag H40 Pro device, excluding the PnP-X MTL pod, are 80mm tall x 27.5mm width x 30.5mm depth and weighs in at 99.5 grams. Even though it’s a tube body with a diameter of 27.5mm, because of the user interface shroud, this increases the depth of that section to 30.5mm.
It’s made out of Zinc Alloy with the main body of the device having a 360o wrap around color matching leather hide which includes detailed stitching on all edges.
Unlike the earlier Drag H40, Voopoo have reduced the size of the “Voopoo” and “Drag H40 Pro” branding into the leather hide making it very discrete now.
The base of the Drag H40 Pro is flat with a black plastic insert cover which includes the “CE” markings and the Type-C USB charging port that’s positioned towards one edge of the base.
Charging the battery is carried out using the supplied charging cable plugged into this Type-C USB port which is specified as 5V/2.0A so will fully charge the battery in approximately 90 minutes. The Drag H40 Pro includes pass-through so you can vape while the battery is being charged.
2 ridges on the H40 Pro against 3 ridges on the H40
Towards the top of the Drag H40 Pro, above the leather wrap, Voopoo have changed the design from the 3 deep ridges around its diameter which included the air intake and viewing slots on the Drag H40. Because the PnP-X pod now used on the Drag H40 Pro has its own top airflow control, the H40 Pro has just two deep ridges around its diameter.
At the top of the Drag H40 Pro is the circular pod recess that is 9.7mm deep which leads down to an enclosed chrome flat metal plate. This plate incorporates 2 countersunk star screws that hold the plate in situ and 2 gold plated spring loaded coil connecting pins. These coil pins locate with the bottom of the PnP X coils when the PnP X pod is fitted and held securely in place by the magnets on the pod base. Because the pod housing is completely circular, its orientation is not important and fits anyway round.
Functionality on the Drag H40 Pro is slightly different from the earlier Drag H40 version. Gone are the separate RBA and SMART modes as the Drag H40 Pro now combines these two functions together. It’s still a fully adjustable 5W-40W device with optimum smart wattage selection for the particular coil you’re using. You can adjust your wattage below or above this value but can’t increase the wattage beyond the maximum limit for that resistance of coil.
A close up view of the User Interface (UI) raised shroud, follows the same design as the H40 and includes the 9mm diameter circular convex fire button above the 0.72 inch TFT HD display with two smaller 5mm + and – control buttons in the same style and finish just below this display. These buttons are color matched with the color of the Zinc Alloy frame, have a positive “click” feel to them and don’t suffer any button rattle.
All of the user information is clearly visible on the display irrespective of which screen theme you select. The information on the TFT display includes the following:
- Battery level icon including a % remaining figure
- Numerical wattage reading
- Lock / Unlock icon
- Coil resistance reading
- Puff counter
Control of the Drag H40 Pro is carried out by the GENE chipset and provides all the necessary protection and will display these notifications on the 0.72 inch TFT display screen:
- Atomizer Short
- Check Atomizer
- Check Battery
- Low Power
- Low Resistance
- Max Power
- Temp High
- Time Out (8s)
- Charging
There are a total of 8 available colors in the Drag H40 Pro range and when purchased as a kit, the PnP-X pod will be one of 3 different colors depending on the color kit you choose.We received the Modern Red color which can be seen throughout this review.
- Cocoa Red
- Glow Pink
- Grey Metal
- Lake Blue
- Modern Red
- Moss Green
- Snow Blue
- Spray Black
I really liked the original Drag H40 kit as its size, aesthetics and functionality were spot on, however the Drag H40 Pro has taken it to the next level. With its increased battery capacity, updated and larger TFT HD display with different screen layouts AND the PnP-X pods make the Drag H40 Pro hard to beat.
PnP-X MTL Pod
Although we received the PnP-X MTL pod with the Drag H40 Pro kit, we already have the PnP-X DTL pod from our Voopoo Drag S3 kit so will cover both types in this section.
These PnP-X pods come in two different variants and depending where and what Drag H40 Pro kit you buy include either the MTL PnP-X pod or the DTL PnP X pod. They both accept Voopoo’s range of PnP-X coils and both pods are becoming their standard as they are used in the Drag S3/X3 as well as the earlier Drag S2/X2, Doric 60 Pro and Argus Pro 2 devices.
There are slight differences between the two pods; The MTL PnP-X pod has a 510 narrow bore removable mouthpiece (drip tip) and adjustable dual Cyclops top airflow slots that have 3 small air intake holes per slot. The DTL PnP-X pod has an 810 wide bore removable mouthpiece and adjustable dual Cyclops top airflow slots with a large single slot air intake.
Each PnP-X pod is manufactured out of opaque black lightweight PCTG material with a rotatable top airflow ring. This tint is very subtle making the level of e-liquid visible even in poor light conditions. The PnP-X pod is circular and measures 26mm in diameter where the height is 49.7mm for the MTL pod and 43.5mm for the DTL pod.
Unlike the majority of standard tanks, these PnP-X pods do not dis-assemble into several parts for cleaning and once they get damaged or broken they will need replacing. I’ve been using the PnP-X DTL and MTL pods for well over 6 months with the Drag X3 and Drag S3 and still not had to replace them.
E-liquid capacity is 5ml (2ml TPD variant) and has a pretty large filling port (6mm) on the side of the pod that’s hidden when inserted into the Drag H40 Pro. The fill port opening is concealed by a black silicone rubber flap and when filling is required, is simply unplugged then re-inserted when filling is completed.
This silicone rubber flap sits flush against the side of the pod so it can be inserted into the Drag H40 Pro pod recess. If it’s not reseated correctly it won’t fit into the mod. The rubber flap opens from the bottom of the pod side as indicated by the little arrow printed on the rubber flap. The other end is connected to the pod and remains attached so it doesn’t get misplaced.
On the base of the PnP-X pod is the center opening where the PnP-X coil is fitted and four circular magnets that do a very good job of holding the pod in place when fitted to the Drag H40 Pro. The coil opening is slightly recessed below the pod base which gives finger access to aid removing the coil.
PnP-X Coil fitted INCORRECTLY Vs PnP-X Coil fitted CORRECTLY
Important: There are two flat sides in the coil opening (opposite sides to the indented finger access point). The PnP-X coils also have two flat sides on the base plate of the coil. It is imperative that these flat sides line up with the flat sides in the base of the pod so when the coil is fitted, the base plate of the coil sits flush against the base of the pod.
Branding on the PnP-X pod is very subtle; the outer diameter of the top cap has “Voopoo” and “PnP-X” printed into the rotating ring. On the top of the pod are the words “Compatible with PnP X Coils” and “PnP X DTL or MTL Cartridge” depending on which one you have.
Currently there are 7 different PnP-X coils that are available; 0.15 ohm, 0.2 ohm, 0.3 ohm, 0.45 ohm, 0.6 ohm, 0.8 ohm and 1.0 ohm. The Drag H40 Pro kit MTL version comes supplied with the 0.8 ohm and 1.0 ohm coils and the DTL version comes supplied with the 0.3 ohm and 0.45 ohm coils.
It’s worth noting the recommended wattage for the PnP-X 0.15 ohm and 0.2 ohm coils is above the maximum 40W the Drag H40 Pro can deliver. Saying this, all of the PnP-X coils perform really well below the minimum recommended and I often use both these coils around 25W-35W with no problems at all.
For reference, we’ve listed the minimum and maximum recommended wattages for each coil type that Voopoo specify. You don’t have to memorize the list as each coil has the resistance and min/max wattage values printed on the coil casing.
| PnP-X 0.15Ω | PnP-X 0.2Ω | PnP-X 0.3Ω | PnP-X 0.45Ω | PnP-X 0.6Ω | PnP-X 0.8Ω | PnP-X 1.0Ω |
| 60W – 80W | 40W – 60W | 32W – 40W | 25W – 32W | 18W – 23W | 12W – 16W | 10W – 13W |
| DTL | DTL | DTL-RDL | RDL | RDL-MTL | MTL | MTL |
In all cases, I would recommend setting your wattage to its lowest value and taking a draw. Increase the wattage level by a couple of watts each time until you find your sweet stop that gives you your ideal vape.
Voopoo claim that each coil is able to sustain a minimum of 100ml of e-liquid cycled through the coil/pod and provides 4 times more vaping pleasure than other coils. All of the PnP-X mesh coils are a push fit type, use Thermo-Stable cotton as the wicking material and have a patented 4-layer leak-proof design. Each of the coils have 4 sealing O-Rings that are color coded for each resistance type and really do provide a very good seal.
Voopoo Drag H40 Pro Functionality
The Voopoo Drag H40 Pro is a 5W – 40W variable power (wattage) device and is fire button activated with + and – control buttons. Its display is a 0.72 inch TFT HD multi-colored screen which also includes 3 different theme layouts to customize the display.
It operates in smart wattage mode where the Drag H40 Pro senses the resistance of the coil fitted in the pod and sets the optimum wattage for that coil. The + and – control buttons will adjust the wattage above and below this optimum value but you can NOT exceed the maximum recommended wattage value for each coil type.
- PnP-X 0.30 ohm: Auto detect at 35W
- PnP-X 0.45 ohm: Auto detect at 28W
- PnP-X 0.60 ohm: Auto detect at 20W
- PnP-X 0.80 ohm: Auto detect at 15W
- PnP-X 1.0 ohm: Auto detect at 12W
The Drag H40 Pro also has a “Lock/Unlock” function and reset/clear the “Puff” counter.
Accessing these functions are carried out using combinations of the fire button and the + and – buttons with the 0.72 inch TFT display highlighting these changes.
A Quick Start Guide of the functions are:
- Fire button pressed 5 times: Turns the device On or Off
- Fire button pressed 3 times: Enters the Menu screen
- Fire button pressed 1 time: Fires the device and illuminates the display
- Fire button and + button together: Locks the fire and control buttons
- Fire button and – button together: Unlocks the fire and control buttons
- + button will increase the wattage in 1W steps
- – button will decrease the wattage in 1W steps
- Changing Themes and clearing the Puff Counter is done in the Menu screen
Holding down either the + or – buttons down will alter the wattage value quicker. There is no round robin on the buttons so once it reaches the maximum or minimum value you will have to use the other button to change the value.
When the maximum wattage is reached for the particular coil you’re using, the display will show “Max Power”. We’ve listed below the maximum power you can go to with each of the PnP-X coils:
- PnP-X 0.30 ohm: 40W Max
- PnP-X 0.45 ohm: 32W Max
- PnP-X 0.60 ohm: 23W Max
- PnP-X 0.80 ohm: 16W Max
- PnP-X 1.0 ohm: 13W Max
Included on the 0.72 inch TFT HD display screen is all of the read-out information as follows:
- Battery level icon with percentage remaining reading
- Numerical wattage reading
- Lock icon
- Coil resistance reading
- Puff counter
Also the safety read-outs and different protections of the Drag H40 Pro are:
- Atomizer Short
- Check Atomizer
- Check Battery
- Low Power
- Low Resistance
- Max Power
- Temp High
- Time Out (8s)
Menu Screen
Accessing the Menu screen is done by 3 clicks of the fire button. Use the + or – controls buttons to highlight the different options and then press the fire button to activate the highlighted menu option:
- Theme: 3 different themes
- Puff Clear
- Exit
We’ve shown above the 3 different Theme options in the menu screen and the 3 Theme screen layouts.
Brightness of the display is pretty good but in bright sunlight it does get a little hard to see. Equally the overall size of the screen is not the biggest which in turn makes the user information quite small to read.
Screen Timeout: After the fire button or the + / – buttons have been pressed, the display will remain illuminated for 10 seconds. After this time, the display will dim to half-light for another 5 seconds and then extinguish.
Sleep Mode: As with most Voopoo devices, the Drag H40 Pro goes into sleep mode after approximately 1 hour if its not been used. After this period, the first press of the fire button has no effect and requires the fire button to be pressed again in order to vape.
Airflow Control is not on the Drag H40 Pro body, it’s part of the PnP-X pod. Altering the variable airflow is carried out by rotating the top ring on the pod while it’s in situ in the pod recess to open or close the dual rectangular airflow slots. The resistance of this airflow ring is quite tight so you will have to hold the pod while you adjust the airflow otherwise the pod will rotate on the circular base plate in the pod recess.
Voopoo Drag H40 Pro Performance
PnP-X Coil/Pod Performance
We’ve been using these PnP-X coils for a couple of years now in other Voopoo compatible devices, including the Drag 5, Drag 6, Drag S2/X2 and Drag S3/X3 and can’t fault them. Flavor, vapor and longevity are all excellent and in our opinion really are some of the best stock coils in the vaping industry.
Both the supplied coils in the Drag H40 Pro are Mesh coils. While the PnP-X 0.6 ohm is suited for RDL/MTL vaping, the PnP-X 0.8 ohm is a MTL coil. Even though the Drag H40 Pro sets the optimum wattage when the coil/pod is fitted, I always bed my coils in initially at well below the minimum recommended wattage level so not to stress the coils too quickly.
I also find with these coils and the other coils in the PnP-X series perform very well even below the minimum wattage specified for each coil type.
PnP-X 0.6 ohm Mesh Coil (Blue O-Rings)
Voopoo specify the minimum and maximum wattage range for this coil is 18W – 23W. The Drag H40 Pro’s optimum wattage for this coil is 20W and the maximum you can take the Drag H40 Pro to is 23W.
My ideal wattage for this coil was 12W with the airflow fully open. Closing the airflow to half open restricted the air intake producing a tighter draw but gave a slightly warmer vape. Even though Voopoo state this coil is RDL/MTL, I found it produces a really nice DTL draw.
Flavor and vapor as expected were very good, worked excellently at the optimum wattage and just as good at my lower setting of 12W. Restricting the airflow tightens the draw to an airy MTL but fully closing the airflow made the draw too tight.
PnP-X 0.8 ohm Mesh Coil (Blue O-Rings)
Voopoo specify the minimum and maximum wattage range for this coil is 12W – 16W. The Drag H40 Pro’s optimum wattage for this coil is 15W and the maximum you can take the Drag H40 Pro to is 16W.
My ideal wattage for this coil was at the minimum recommended of 12W with the airflow fully open and for me gave a nice RDL draw. Closing the airflow to halfway tightens the draw to a loose MTL draw and restricting the airflow to just 1 hole produced a tight MTL draw.
Drag H40 Pro Battery Performance
The Drag H40 Pro’s internal 2450mAh rechargeable battery really is a big improvement over the earlier Drag H40. Vaping with the 0.6 ohm coil at 12W gave me nearly 4 full days of reasonably heavy vaping before the display showed “Check Battery” and needed charging. That’s Impressive!
Obviously the length of vape time between charges is very subjective and depends on several factors:
- Your vaping style i.e. length of draw
- Type of coil you’re using
- Power level (wattage) you vape at
The Drag H40 Pro indicates the remaining battery charge status at the top of the TFT display screen. Full charge shows as a full white/blue battery icon with a percentage (%) value underneath which will slowly reduce the more you vape until such point the icon turns completely black and the readout is 0% (discharged).
As your battery runs out of charge, the display will indicate “Low Power” followed by “Check Battery” and then switch off. At this stage you will have to recharge your battery as we’ve detailed in “How do I Charge the Drag H40 Pro” section in this review.
Another big advantage over the earlier Drag H40 is this new Drag H40 Pro has pass-thru vaping so you are be able to vape while it’s being charged. Bear in mind, vaping while charging will obviously increase the overall charging times.
Throughout the discharge cycle of the battery the intensity and strength of the vape draw remained the same, only stopping once the low battery cut-off was reached.
How do I Fill the Voopoo PnP-X Pod?
The PnP-X pod incorporates a concealed side fill port so the pod will have to be removed from the pod recess to gain access to this port.
Once removed, you will see the black silicone rubber flap on the side of the pod. Gently pull this flap open from the bottom end of the rubber stopper as shown by the little directional arrow. There is also a small fingernail slot between the rubber flap and the base edge of the pod which aids removal for those with no fingernails.
Place your e-liquid bottle tip into this 6mm oval opening and fill with e liquid. To get the maximum amount of e-liquid into the pod you will have to tilt the pod on its side. Once filled, replace the black silicone rubber flap ensuring it’s securely fitted and re-insert the pod back into the Drag H40 Pro pod recess.
Quick Tip: If you are filling the pod for the first time and after every coil change, drip a few drops of e liquid onto the wicking ports of the coil first. Push the coil into the base of the pod then fill the pod and leave to stand for approx. 10-15 minutes before you start to vape. Also keep the wattage low initially and take a few draws to pull e-liquid through the coil. Slowly increase the wattage in small steps, each time taking a few draws until you reach your desired setting. This will help saturate the wick fully in e-liquid and prolong the life of your coil.
From experience, the longevity of these PnP-X coils is excellent and I can regularly use them for a couple of months before they need replacing.
How do I Change the Coil in the Voopoo PnP-X Pod?
When the coil you’re using shows an “Atomizer Short” or “Check Atomizer” on the display screen, or your e-liquid starts producing a burnt taste it’s time to replace your coil with a new one. Because the fill port is concealed in the pod recess, the pod has to be removed for filling.
Remove the PnP-X pod from the Drag H40 Pro pod recess. Because the Voopoo coils are a push fit type, simply pull the old coil out from the bottom of the pod and replace with a new one.
Do note if the pod has e-liquid in it while you’re removing the coil, e-liquid will spill from the pod. The best method to avoid this or to keep e-liquid spillage to a minimum is to hold the pod upside down (drip tip pointing downwards), place your finger tightly over the opening of the drip tip and then remove the coil.
Replace with a new coil while still holding your finger over the drip tip. Turn the pod the right way up and take your finger off the drip tip.
Fill the pod up with your e-liquid using the procedure outlined in How Do I Fill The PnP-X Pod?
Do ensure your new coil is primed and when filled, left to stand for 15 minutes so the e-liquid fully saturates the wick. See our guide on Prolonging the Life of your Coil.
I would recommend when first using a new coil to lower the wattage for the first few draws and slowly increase the wattage in increments, taking a few draws at each level until you reach the wattage your happy with. This will help to bed the new coil in preventing premature ageing.
How do I Charge the Voopoo Drag H40 Pro?
The Voopoo Drag H40 Pro has an internal 2450mAh capacity battery so whenever the battery becomes discharged you will have to re-charge the battery using the supplied Type-C charging cable. When you first receive your Voopoo Drag H40 Pro it does come with a nominal charge but we recommend fully charging the device before you first use it.
Simply connect the cable into the USB port on the bottom of the Drag H40 Pro and the other end into a suitable USB power source. The specified charging circuit of the Drag H40 Pro is 5V/2A therefore a power source equal to or greater than this rating will charge the device in around 90 minutes. A 1A power source will work but it will take that little bit longer to charge.
When you put the Drag H40 Pro on charge, the battery icon at the top of the main display will start to cycle indicating it’s charging. After approximately 5 seconds the display will switch to a single battery charging icon screen showing the real time percentage of charge and time remaining surrounded by a rotating circle with animated bubbles filling the circle.
After approximately 10 seconds the screen brightness will dim to half brightness and a further 5 seconds later the battery charging screen goes blank. At this point there is no visual indication that the battery is being charged. To see the charge status of your battery, you will have to press either the fire button or the +/- control button on the Drag H40 Pro to bring up the display. Unfortunately the screen will again only stay illuminated for another 15 seconds.
Full charge is achieved when the battery percentage value indicates 100% and the single battery icon has turned solid yellow. The Drag H40 Pro does stop charging when full charge is reached but you have to press the fire or control buttons to verify this.
Voopoo use this method of charging display on several of their other pods/mods. While it’s not a problem, I DO prefer to have a visual indication of the battery being charged throughout the charging cycle. The original Drag H40’s display did remain illuminated so it’s a shame this wasn’t continued with the H40 Pro.
Charging time from full discharge to full charge took 90 minutes when using a standard 5V/2.1A source so fully matched the time remaining figure when it was first placed on charge. The Drag H40 Pro body did get slightly warm to the touch while it was being charged but this is perfectly normal.
As with any vape device, ALWAYS charge the mod resting on a non-flammable surface and NEVER leave your mod unattended whilst charging.
Voopoo Drag H40 Pro Kit Price
At the time of writing this review, the Voopoo Drag H40 Pro was just being released and the few websites I was monitoring had the price as TBC. I’m sure once it fully hits the market I would expect the kit to sell around the £30 mark, possibly lower.

Voopoo Drag H40 Pro Kit Review Summary
I can honestly summarize my thoughts and say the Drag H40 Pro both aesthetically and performance wise ticks all my boxes. I loved the original H40 when it came out and the design changes in the new H40 Pro version have made this a fantastic kit.
Increased battery size, the larger display with different theme layouts, the PnP-X pod(s) that accept the PnP-X coils, pass-thru vaping and ease of use gets my seal of approval.
I genuinely feel it caters for both MTL and DTL vapers, is easy to use and operate, and has enough power to provide a really great vape. The range of PnP-X coil types including their performance in terms of flavor, vapor and longevity are some of the best coils we’ve come across.
My only slight niggle with the Drag H40 Pro is the display doesn’t remain illuminated throughout the charging cycle. If only Voopoo had implemented this function from the earlier Drag H40 then I would have given it a 100% rating.
