How to unlock your VooPoo Drag vape: A step-by-step guide
In order to unlock your VooPoo Drag devices, follow the below steps. Slight variations may exist between models, but most VooPoo Drag devices will follow these instructions:
1. Switch on the device
This can be done by pressing the fire button, which should be the biggest button you see on your vape. Once located, press it five times in a row, and this should fire it up. You should be able to see its display light up, indicating that it is switched on.
2. Access the menu
Once the device is switched on, you now have access to the menu. To access it, you will need to press the fire button three times in a row. This will display the menu on the screen. This screen provides vital information about your vape, including battery life, wattage, and more importantly, the lock status.
3. Unlock the device
After the menu is open, you can now navigate to find the unlock option. The device’s screen should display a message or symbol indicating whether the device has been unlocked. If the device is already unlocked, this process will lock it. Repeating the process will unlock it again.
On the face of the device, you’ll find two buttons labelled ‘+’ and ‘-’. These buttons are primarily used for adjusting the wattage or temperature of your vape, however, they also unlock your device. Press and hold these two buttons simultaneously for a few seconds.
The locked padlock icon should change to an unlocked padlock sign, signalling that the device has been successfully unlocked.
4. Test the device
Once you see the unlocked indicator, try pressing the fire button to see if the device activates. If it does, then well done, you’ve successfully unlocked your VooPoo device! Take your time to familiarise yourself with these steps and practise them, and you’ll be able to lock and unlock your VooPoo device in a matter of seconds.
Locking your VooPoo Drag
Just as you’ve learnt how to unlock your VooPoo vape, knowing how to lock it is equally as crucial. Locking your device when it’s not in use prevents unintentional activation, especially when carrying it in your pocket or bag. It will prevent your device from accidentally firing up and causing potential harm or damage.
To lock your VooPoo drag, simply follow the same steps above as unlocking, but press the fire button five times instead of using the ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons.
Unlocking your VooPoo Drag - problems and troubleshooting
If the unlocking feature on your VooPoo Drag doesn’t work, then there might be an issue with the device and it will need to be fixed. A few common issues of the VooPoo Drag might include:
Battery issues - Many vape devices do not work properly if they don’t have enough battery in them. If your VooPoo isn’t charged enough, then your device might not respond as expected and cause problems.
Faulty buttons - If your device is adequately charged but still not unlocking, you should check the functionality of the buttons. Ensure that the fire button and the ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons are not stuck or damaged. Press each one to see if they respond correctly. If they aren’t this could be why you're unable to unlock your device.
Test unlocking several times - Sometimes, repeated attempts may be necessary to unlock the VooPoo Drag. The key is to press the fire button five times quickly and to hold the ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons simultaneously. Ensure that you aren’t pressing the buttons too slowly or gently as this might not register with the device.
If nothing works and you’ve checked all the above options, then it might be more of a concern and you may need to consult the manufacturer. You might be able to get a replacement if your device is new and falls under their warranty policy, or explore a new vape kit brand.

How can I tell if my VooPoo Drag is locked or unlocked?
Determining whether your VooPoo Drag vape is locked or unlocked can vary slightly depending on the specific model, but there are some general indicators that you can look out for.
Often, when your VooPoo Drag device is locked, attempting to fire it up will result in a message or symbol displayed on the screen indicating that it is locked. When unlocked, the screen will display the normal operational information, such as wattage, battery level, and coil resistance.
If your VooPoo Drag is locked, pressing the fire button will have no effect and the device will not produce vapour. Some devices may even display a lock icon on the screen when the device is locked.
The most reliable way to determine your VooPoo’s locked and unlocked status is to consult the user manual that came with your specific VooPoo Drag device. The manual will include detailed instructions and also some visual cues so that you can understand in depth how to unlock the device and utilise its other features.
