Voopoo Drag S2: Dynamite in a Small Package!
First Impressions of the Drag S2: “Meh” overall…
The Drag X is a very popular device, and has been for a long time. When we found out there would be essentially a “X2” coming we got excited. The Drag S2 is basically the replacement for the Drag X, with mainly just upgrades in the same form factor.The day the Drag X2 arrived, we at Canada Vapes were excited to use the new product. However, it was met with a “meh” attitude all around. The airflow was too much, the coils just weren’t up to PnP standard, and the child safety feature to fill the device is just too cumbersome. It looked like the vape device would be a flop, and we doubted it would sell too many.
Drag S2 Extended Impressions: “WOW!”
However, I took the vape device aside and gave it an extended testing. The only thing I can say about it now is “WOW!”The test model I have is in the Modern Red colorway. It is a red and purple-ish gradient with a bit of tasteful embossed leather on the back. It is lightweight, yet not cheap feeling. The screen is bright, easy to read and colorful. The buttons are clicky and responsive, not just the fire button but the adjustment buttons as well. The menu is simple, but could use a few more settings such as a dimmer. It does have a puff reset and a mode selector. The device will fire from 5w-60w, with 3 modes.- RBA mode is your typical variable wattage mode
- Smart mode adjusts your power to where Voopoo believes is the optimal firing wattage for the coils
- Eco dims your screen and firing a little slower to conserve power.
The device was mainly used in Smart mode, as Voopoo recommends. I average 2 days on average between charges, which is definitely a good amount of power. I tested it with the 0.3 coil at 35 watts.
The PnP X Platform – If This is the Future, We Are in Good Hands!
Which brings me to the coil. This is the star of this show, by far. PnP was a platform Voopoo used for a long time, and they worked extremely well. They just improved on the PnP and added an X. The PnP X platform is in a word, amazing. They offer 6 different coil varieties. Only 3 are recommended for use with the Drag S2, the 0.2, the 0.3, and the 0.45. These coils do have a slight break in period. The one I used it took around a full tank, but once they were broken in, the flavour was incredible. I have been using the Freemax Maxus 3 kit and lately a Vaporesso Luxe XR Max. With the same juice, I would 100% prefer the PnP X coil. The flavour notes on the liquid I am using really pop. With other liquids I have tried such as fruits and other desserts, the same was true. The coils really are amazing at any wattage. With the expectation the PnP set, I was not too surprised that Voopoo would knock this out of the park.Excellent Improvement on an Excellent Platform!
The improvements are exactly what they needed though. Voopoo has ditched the bottom airflow on the Drag S2 and gone with a top airflow. The airflow on the Drag S2 is FAR too much for a 0.3 coil head, however I consulted their website and they recommend to set the airflow at about halfway open for the 0.3. I did that and got the “WOW!” effect. I even tightened it a little more for my liking, to around 1/3 open. It is still quite wide and airy, but still nice and loose for a slight restricted lung hit. The airflow is quiet, and has no weird whistle sounds or anything like that. They are calling these pods “cartridges” and are available in a 2 pack. They connect much like the Drag X, with magnets into the device. To my surprise though, there is absolutely 0 leaking juice into the device, which was a common issue with my Drag X. I have put about 10 tanks worth of liquid through this device so far, and have had absolutely 0 liquid in the device to clean up. Not a single drop. That is amazing, as pod systems in general have a tendency to leak.The Only Con of the Drag S2, but Not a Fault of the Device…
The only negative I have about the device is the child safety lock on the cartridge though. I fully understand that the government has a lot of rules about how the child safety has to be on a vape device, and I agree our children need to be protected against this. However, it should not be as difficult to fill my vape device as it is to disarm a bomb. There is a plastic ring that needs to be rotated and shifted all over to refill the e-liquid, as well as to remove the coil. It kind of reminds me of a puzzle box. I believe it may be a bit overkill, and I believe there may be room for improvement, hopefully they release a new cartridge with a better design.Voopoo does offer a MTL cartridge for the device. They do not seem to be CRC certified right now, hopefully that changes in the future, but for right now we have the DL cartridge, which has a ton of top airflow, and boasts 5mL liquid capacity. Thankfully I don’t find myself filling it too much as that would be a major headache.The Final Verdict of the Drag S2…
The verdict is that this device is great, it started out not too well, but with using it for the last week, I have certainly changed my mind. Voopoo has hit this device out of the park, and with the gripe about the CRC child safety, I would have no negative to say about this device. However, that is the only downside, and there will be a video following on how to fill the pod and change the coil.It definitely gets a solid 9/10 rating though. It will be available on August 1st at Canada Vapes!

SMOK Nord GT: A Comprehensive Review
Welcome to our SMOK Nord GT Review. SMOK has been a mainstay in the vaping industry for many years, producing some of the best-selling vape devices. The Nord series, now in its sixth iteration and known as the Nord GT, continues this tradition with notable improvements over the Nord 5, including a bigger battery, a raised button, and clear pods.
Unboxing and Contents:
Box Includes:
- The Nord GT device
- 2500 mAh battery
- 5 ml pod
- One RPM 3 0.23 coil
- One pre-installed RPM 3 0.15 coil
- Charging cable
- User manual and caution card
- QA certificate
- Silica gel (Do not eat)
Device Specifications:
- Dimensions: 105.6 mm x 33.5 mm x 25 mm
- Battery Capacity: 2500 mAh
- Adjustable wattage: 5 to 80 watts
- Airflow: Adjustable with a bit of resistance
- USB-C charging port
Design and Appearance
The Nord GT comes in various colours, including traditional finishes, leather-wrapped, and carbon fibre options. These devices are visually appealing and offer a great tactile experience. The fire button is slightly raised and provides a nice tactile feel when pressed—an understated yet pleasant change. The display is on the side and features a single button to control the wattage, keeping it simple and user-friendly. My device is a gradient blue to white, which looks quite impressive. The bigger battery is a significant upgrade, addressing the Nord 5’s shortcoming of needing frequent charging with the 0.15 coils. Now, the Nord GT can easily last a full day with some battery life to spare.
Coils and Pods
The Nord GT utilizes the RPM 3 coils, a reliable system that SMOK has employed for a while. The pods are compatible with the RPM 3 0.15 and 0.23 meshed coil heads, providing a smooth and flavorful vaping experience without being overly hot. The airflow is controlled by a slider mechanism that opens ports on either side, allowing for a range from restricted to wide-open draws. My preferred settings are halfway open with the 0.23 coil and fully open with the 0.15 coil.
Pod Design
SMOK includes a crystal clear pod with the Nord GT, which I find highly practical as it makes monitoring the liquid level effortless. There’s also a transparent black option. The pods are secured by notches rather than magnets, but they hold securely enough that even if the device falls, the pod remains in place. The “duckbill” style mouthpiece is comfortable to use.
Pros:
- Comfortable, well-feeling pleather or plastic design.
- Adjustable airflow and wattage settings.
- The pod holds a decent amount of e-liquid (5 ml).
- USB-C charging for faster recharging.
Cons:
- Filling Port: The fill port is difficult to open, making it less user-friendly.
- Coil Life: Short lifespan of the pre-installed coil (0.15).
- Heat Generation: The device gets warm, especially when chain vaping, which can be uncomfortable.
- Flavour Quality: The flavour is somewhat muted, particularly with the 0.23 coil.
Usability
The SMOK Nord GT is tailored for intermediate vapers, offering simplicity and functionality in an appealing package. My experience over a week has been smooth, with no significant issues. It’s an excellent value at $49.99. Buy SMOK Nord GT at Canada Vapes. While it’s best suited for traditional e-liquids, its resistance may be too low for Salt Nic.
In summary, the SMOK Nord GT combines style, functionality, and long-lasting performance, making it a recommended choice for intermediate vapers.
We hope you liked our SMOK Nord GT Review. For more information on the product, or if you have any questions, Contact Us, and we’ll be happy to assist.

Salt Vs. Freebase – What does it all mean?!
Navigating the world of vaping can be overwhelming, especially for newcomers faced with terms like Salt and Freebase nicotine. Let’s break it down to understand the differences and find what works best for you.
Understanding Freebase Nicotine
Freebase, also known as “traditional” nicotine, has been a staple in the vaping industry for years. It’s the go-to choice for many vapers due to its versatility and ease of mixing with flavours. Typically available in strengths of 0, 3, and 6mg, it caters to those with lower nicotine requirements. However, higher strengths exist, although they may induce a harsh throat hit for some users.
Designed for direct-to-lung vaping in high wattage devices, such as the Voopoo Drag 4 or SMOK Scar-18, freebase nicotine is favored by experienced vapers for its ability to produce voluminous clouds.
Exploring Salt Nicotine
Salt nicotine, a relatively newcomer, has rapidly gained popularity in the vaping community. Known for its rapid absorption into the bloodstream, it provides a quick nicotine fix, making it ideal for newer vapers. Salt nic juices typically come in 20mg concentrations, with some offering 10mg options. Most disposables feature a salt nic base of 20mg.
Suited for mouth-to-lung vaping in lower wattage devices like the Uwell Caliburn series or Freemax Galex, salt nicotine offers a smoother draw, making it beginner-friendly.
Finding the Right Fit
In reality, both freebase and salt nic have their merits, and veteran vapers like Daniel often use both interchangeably. While freebase is preferred for cloud-chasing in high wattage setups, salt nic shines for its convenience and quick satisfaction, especially in discreet settings like the office.
However, it’s crucial to match the nicotine type with the appropriate device. Attempting to use freebase liquid in a salt nic device, or vice versa, can lead to unpleasant experiences like harsh draws or leakage. Consulting with experts, like the staff at Canada Vapes, can help navigate these nuances and ensure a seamless vaping experience.
Conclusion: Prioritizing Harm Reduction
Ultimately, the goal of vaping is harm reduction and smoking cessation. Whether you opt for freebase or salt nic, the key is to find what keeps you away from cigarettes. With the right guidance and understanding, you can make an informed decision that aligns with your vaping goals and preferences.

Dispelling Myths About Disposable Vapes
Many hold misconceptions about disposable vapes, believing them to be both cheaper and easier than other vaping options. However, a closer look reveals the realities behind these assumptions, as evidenced by a recent customer service encounter at Canada Vapes. We are going to bust a few myths about disposable vapes.
A Customer Service Encounter: The Reality of Disposable Vaping
Our customer service team recently assisted an individual who had purchased a disposable vape from another source, mistakenly contacting Canada Vapes for assistance. Despite the mix-up, our team made every effort to help, but encountered difficulties due to the vast array of disposable devices flooding the market. Ultimately, we recommended they switch to a pod and liquid system for a more reliable vaping experience.
Myth #1: Disposable Vaping is Cheaper
Contrary to popular belief, disposable vaping may not always be the most cost-effective option. A closer examination of pricing reveals that while a single disposable vape may seem affordable upfront, the cumulative cost of purchasing multiple disposables can quickly add up. In comparison, investing in a pod system and e-liquid may offer greater value in the long run.
Myth #2: Disposables Taste Better
The notion that disposable vapes offer superior flavour is also debunked when considering the limited variety and excessive sweetness often found in disposable options. In contrast, Nic Salt E-liquid provides a wider range of flavours, including non-fruit and non-menthol options, offering a more satisfying vaping experience.
Myth #3: Filling Pods is Messy
Thanks to advancements in pod technology, filling pods has become a hassle-free process. Modern pod systems feature convenient valve systems that allow for easy refills without the mess associated with traditional methods. Additionally, larger pod capacities reduce the frequency of refills, enhancing user convenience.
Conclusion: Long-Term Solutions vs. Disposable Convenience
While disposable vapes serve a purpose in helping individuals transition away from tobacco, they may not be the most sustainable long-term solution. Pod and liquid systems offer greater flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and flavour variety, making them a preferred choice for many vapers seeking a more satisfying and economical vaping experience.

Dan’s firsthand experience underscores the Maxus 3’s suitability for seasoned vapers. Its high-performance capabilities and compatibility with low-resistance cloud-producing vapes make it a must-have for enthusiasts.
