Build quality and design
The VOOPOO VMATE i2 is a compact, stick-style pod device without a screen, modes, or buttons—featuring inhale-to-fire operation with adjustable airflow. It includes a USB-C port at the bottom and a single LED indicator. Available in seven colors, its smooth, durable finish and etched design offer a sleek, well-built look. The rubberized bottom improves stability for upright placement.
Getting started
The VOOPOO VMATE i2 is a beginner-friendly pod system that’s easy to use and great for portability. It features an adjustable airflow slider for tight MTL to restricted DL vaping. While optimized for MTL with the included 0.7-ohm pod, it also supports 0.4-ohm pods (sold separately) for RDL vaping. The pods are side-fill, designed for better flavor and longevity, and click securely into place. Although the tinted pods are visible, they require light to check juice levels. Overall, the device is user-friendly and performs well without major issues.
Performance
The VOOPOO VMATE i2 uses the same pods as the VMATE line but comes with an upgraded 3mL top-fill pod, eliminating the need for removal during refills. The kit includes only one pod—a 0.7-ohm top-fill, which is the best-performing pod in the series. Consistent and reliable, it delivers excellent performance, making it one of the better pods on the market today.
Battery life and charging
The VOOPOO VMATE i2 features a large 1500mAh battery, the biggest in the VMATE line. It charges via a USB-C port at 1A, taking over 90 minutes—longer than average due to its size and affordability. Usable battery capacity is around 1230mAh, about 20% more than the VMATE MAX, and it supports passthrough vaping. The LED acts as a battery indicator but can be hard to read and only shows after vaping. While charging, the LED stays on and turns off when complete.

INITIAL THOUGHTS
The VOOPOO VMATE i2 packaging features a front image of the device, geometric designs, and prominent branding, along with a “3X” badge highlighting the upgraded pod. The back includes a contents list and company info, with review samples marked by a large sticker.
Inside the box, the VMATE i2 sits in a plastic tray with the 0.7-ohm pod pre-installed. The kit includes a user guide, info card, and USB-C cable, but only one pod, which can be inconvenient if the pod is defective.
The VOOPOO VMATE i2 features a 1500mAh battery, 67% larger than the previous VMATE Infinity Edition’s 900mAh. The Forest Green version I received has a chevron design for a sleek look. One side is etched with the VMATE i2 name and airflow control, while the opposite side features the VOOPOO logo, both with the same chevron design.
The VMATE i2 is an auto-draw device with no adjustable power, automatically adjusting output based on pod resistance. It features a 256-color RGB light bar for battery level indication, but I find it difficult to read and too attention-grabbing. I prefer a simple indicator with color-coded lights for battery levels.
CONCLUSION
The VOOPOO VMATE i2 is a simple, reliable pod vape with a large battery and proven pod compatibility at an affordable price. It’s an excellent choice for beginners and a solid backup for experienced vapers.
