VOOPOO ALPHA Zip Mini kit – the new alpha, more like a drag
The exhibition of achievements of the “electronic-cigarette economy” that is taking place today in the Middle Kingdom can rightly be called the largest event in the life of the global vape market, since the vast majority of manufacturers are based there. Naturally, they tried to get ready for this event in advance and drank a bunch of new products, some of them did it especially carefully – this is how VOOPOO became such a participant.

complete non-service, namely the MAAT Tank , therefore we will not touch it. Boxing mod will be much more interesting.
As you understand, this instance is a continuation of the alpha line, and it turned out to be far from its only rookie – my colleagues will tell you about this.
So, the new design – it is angular, chiseled, it has the characteristic signs of a dredge – corner cuts and sharp edges, but it seems to have nothing to do with the old alpha. The decor of the side panels finally escaped resin, now there are peculiar inserts. In general, fresh, new, but not top for sure.
The landing pad is probably steel, there is frankly no reserve for landing, it would be nice if they would sit here with proper aesthetics 24mm. And you know, the Vupovites have eternal problems with this.
The control panel settled on the front end. A small fire button is on the take-off, below is a small and non-color display, under which, by tradition, a pair of control keys and a connector for charging the battery, or maybe software updates of the control chipset.
Built-in battery of decent capacity, but the exact time of its charging is unknown. It is likely that the developers have implemented fast charging, but even with it this will be charged for two and a half hours.
The chipset, which has already become traditional, was not “raped” much, and they limited the output power to just 120 watts. But with a minimum threshold of resistance, not everything is clear – perhaps a mistake was made in the presentation.
