How to use the alpha zip

There is nothing unique about using the original alpha that you do not already know. The device can be activated by clicking the button five times, and three clicks on the button open up to the extra menu. Users can then device which vaping mode they want to choose among the three.

1. Battery life
2. Better flavor quality
3. High cloud size

The three modes perform their selected functions well, but many vape users find that it lacks power in flavor.

Flavor and vapor quality

When vaping at 55W and the airflow open up, you will get a warm vape full of flavor. The vapor is also dense from the moment you take the first puff. By ramping up the watts to 80W, which goes by 10W increments, you will realize that the vapor does get hot just like the tank. However, if you are using the SS tank, it can cool easily. 

The flavor somehow peaks at 70W, and it is better if used at 65W. So, you will be able to get the same level of vapor even after two weeks of vaping. The flavor does not go down even after you vape for a very long time.

VooPoo alpha mini vs. VooPoo Alpha Zip mini

The alpha is available in two variations, and they do not differ so much from each other. You get a dual 18650 battery mod, and the zip has a 4400mah battery.

Performance of the VooPoo Alpha Zip

If you have used the VooPoo drag 2, then taking the alpha zip for a session will feel the same. It just involves quick firing and reliability with a different kind of battery.

There is no specific wattage setting that would give you a battery performance, but somewhere around 80 W feels like is the right spot. But keeping your wattage at an average of 60-70w can get you definitive results.]

This device passes the durability test, and it works like a charm. There are no issues with malfunctioning or anything out of the ordinary that would bring down its ranking.

In addition to this mod being a good device, the MAAT tank is more impressive and reliable. You can start using the MT-M1 single mesh coil, which gives the most amazing flavor. At 80W using this coil, you get a much warm and dense draw.

The MT-M2 coils give a more improved performance. The 75W was the perfect setting that allows a warm vape full of flavor. These coils, therefore, are an important addition to this series.

The MAAT performs better when the airflow is wide open, and it still gives a restricted draw. By closing the airflow, it becomes too restricted to vape on. The vapor is also hotter, and this might not be attractive to every other vapor.
