Design
The Voopoo Vmate i2 boasts a sleek and compact design, featuring an aluminum alloy body that’s both durable and lightweight at just 55.5 grams. The smooth finish and minimalist aesthetics give it a modern and sleek look that’s perfect for users who prefer something stylish yet not overly flashy.

One of the standout features is the colorful RGB Indicator Light Bar, which adds a touch of flair while also serving a practical purpose. This light bar displays the battery level in real-time, making it easy to monitor your device’s charge at a glance.

Pods
The Vmate i2 includes a 3 ml top-fill cartridge, designed for convenience and ease of use. The top-fill system minimizes spills and makes refilling quick and straightforward. The cartridge material, PCTG with silver ion protection, ensures hygiene and longevity.

A key highlight here is the coil longevity. Voopoo claims a 90-day coil lifespan and 30 days of leak-free use with this cartridge, which is a remarkable improvement in the pod system market. This 3X upgraded cartridge is also compatible with all VMATE POD Family products, providing flexibility and convenience for users who may own other devices in the series.

Performance
Performance-wise, the Vmate i2 delivers a consistent and satisfying experience. The device’s 1500 mAh battery powers a maximum output of 30 W, which is more than sufficient for the 0.7 Ω coil included in the box, but also the 0.4 Ω coil that can be bought separately. The result is a smooth and flavorful vape, with the device excelling particularly in delivering a pure taste thanks to the enhanced cartridge design.

The adjustable airflow allows for some customization, though it leans more toward a restricted mouth-to-lung (MTL) experience. The flavor and vapor production are solid, making it a reliable choice for everyday use.

Battery Life
A significant upgrade from the previous VMATE Infinity Edition is the battery capacity. The Vmate i2 now comes with a 1500 mAh battery, which is a 67% increase from its forerunner 900 mAh. This enhancement makes it a true "Looong Life Starter Pod," allowing users to say goodbye to battery anxiety. Whether you’re a light or heavy vaper, this device is designed to keep you going throughout the day without needing frequent recharges.

Pros

• Long-lasting battery
• Good coil lifespan
• Clear and colorful new battery-indicator
• Works with all the older VMate pods

Cons

• Little adjustability options (only airflow adjustment, no wattage adjustment)
• No screen

Verdict
The Voopoo VMate i2 is a strong contender in the pod system market, especially for users seeking a device with excellent battery life and low maintenance. The significant improvements in battery capacity and coil longevity make it a standout option for those tired of constantly recharging or replacing coils. While it may not offer the highest power output or the most extensive range of features, it excels where it counts: reliability, flavor, and ease of use. If you’re in the market for a portable, long-lasting pod system, the VMate i2 is definitely worth considering.
