The VooPoo Drag S3 and Voopoo Drag X3 sit in the same family of pod mods, sharing a similar design language but differing in a few key specs. This comparison sticks strictly to what each brand has published, so buyers can see where the data actually supports a difference.
Several specs, like weight and charge time, are only listed for one device, which limits direct comparison in those areas. Where the numbers do line up, the differences are noted plainly below.

Battery
The VooPoo Drag S3 has a built-in 3000 mAh battery with a stated 90-minute charge time to 80%, while the Voopoo Drag X3 uses an external 18650 or 21700 battery (not included) with no stated capacity or charge time. Because the two devices use fundamentally different battery setups and the Drag X3 leaves key figures unstated, there is no shared metric to compare directly, and the category is a tie by default.
Performance
The Voopoo Drag X3 has a higher max output at 80 W compared to the VooPoo Drag S3’s 60 W, which on paper suggests more headroom for higher-wattage coils. However, both devices offer variable wattage and support a range of coil resistances (0.15Ω to 1.0Ω for the Drag S3 versus 0.1 to 3.0 ohm for the Drag X3), and with no further performance data like vapor production or throat hit reported, the category is marked a tie despite the wattage gap.
Convenience
Both devices include a display screen, adjustable airflow, and a Type-C charging port with a matching 2 A charge current, making them equally convenient in day-to-day handling based on the stated features. The Drag X3’s weight is listed at 198 g while the Drag S3’s weight is not stated, and neither device has a clear edge once the shared features are accounted for, so this category is also a tie.
The VooPoo Drag S3 suits buyers who want a built-in, non-removable battery with a known 3000 mAh capacity and a stated 90-minute charge time, without needing to source external cells.
The Voopoo Drag X3 suits buyers who want the higher stated max output of 80 W and don't mind supplying their own 18650 or 21700 battery.
The verdict
Neither the VooPoo Drag S3 nor the Voopoo Drag X3 comes out ahead across the board. The Drag X3 has a documented edge in max output at 80 W versus 60 W, but that alone was not enough to tip the performance category given the shared feature set and lack of supporting data. Battery and convenience end in ties, partly because the two devices use different battery formats and partly because several specs, like weight and charge time, are only reported for one product. Choosing between them may come down to whether a built-in battery or a swappable 18650/21700 setup fits your habits better, since the paperwork alone does not settle it.
