The VooPoo VMate i2 represents a significant step forward in pod vaping technology, combining the simplicity vapers crave with performance that actually delivers. This isn't just another generic pod system - it's a thoughtfully designed device that bridges the gap between basic starter kits and more advanced setups.
With its substantial 1500mAh battery and impressive 30W output, the VMate i2 offers genuine all-day vaping without the constant charging anxiety that plagues smaller devices. The inhale-activated design means there's no fiddling with buttons, whilst the adjustable airflow lets you fine-tune your experience from tight MTL draws to more open RDTL hits. Whether you're transitioning from smoking or looking to simplify your vaping setup, this compact powerhouse deserves serious consideration.
Key Features
Powerful 1500mAh Built-In Battery
The VMate i2's battery capacity genuinely impresses - at 1500mAh, it's significantly larger than most pod systems in this category. You're looking at a full day of moderate vaping, or around 6-8 hours of heavier use before needing to reach for the charging cable.
30W Maximum Output
Unlike many pod kits that struggle to deliver meaningful power, the VMate i2's 30W capability provides proper vapour production and flavour intensity. The device automatically adjusts wattage based on coil resistance, so you don't need to worry about complex settings.
Inhale Activation Technology
Simply draw on the mouthpiece and the device fires instantly. The sensor response is quick and reliable, though occasionally you might get a slight delay if the device has been sitting unused for a while.
2ml Pod Capacity with Top Fill
The pods hold 2ml of e-liquid - the maximum allowed under TPD regulations. The top-fill design makes refilling straightforward, though the rubber plug can be a bit fiddly initially.
USB Type-C Fast Charging
Modern charging technology means you'll go from empty to full in approximately 60-90 minutes. The Type-C port is properly secured and doesn't feel loose after extended use.
Adjustable Airflow Control
Here's where the VMate i2 really stands out from basic pod systems. The adjustable airflow ring lets you customise your draw resistance significantly. Fully closed, you get a tight cigarette-like MTL experience. Open it up and you're into restricted direct-lung territory that works brilliantly with higher VG liquids.
Compact Yet Substantial Design
At 11cm tall and weighing just 55g, the VMate i2 strikes an excellent balance. It's pocket-friendly without feeling cheap or flimsy. The skid-proof coating actually works - this device won't slip from your fingers like some glossy alternatives.
Built-In Mesh Coil Technology
The integrated mesh coils deliver noticeably better flavour than traditional wire coils. Expect around 7-10 days of life from each pod, depending on your e-liquid choices and vaping frequency.
How to Use and Maintenance
Initial Setup
Remove the device from packaging and locate the VMate pod. Fill the pod by lifting the rubber plug on top - angle your e-liquid bottle to avoid air bubbles. Let the pod sit for 5 minutes before first use to ensure proper coil saturation.
Daily Operation
Simply inhale from the mouthpiece to activate. The LED indicator shows battery status - green for high charge, amber for medium, red for low. There's no power button to press or settings to adjust.
Maintenance Tips
Clean the connection points weekly with a cotton swab to maintain proper contact. If you notice reduced flavour, try adjusting the airflow or consider replacing the pod. Store with some e-liquid in the pod to prevent the coil from drying out completely.
Troubleshooting
If the device doesn't fire, check the pod is properly seated and the battery isn't completely flat. Condensation can occasionally block the airflow - a gentle shake usually sorts this out.
