I’m baffled what is so special about the Gene Chip? It’s a decent performing yet basic chip but it’s no DNA etc. The battery compartment is clearly marked and has a ribbon for battery removal. Also on the inside Voopoo marked ‘GENE CHIP’.
The design and styling is one of those things you will either love or hate, for me I absolutely love it. It feels kind of old school and expensive, the edges are all smoothed off (unlike its DRAG cousin) and the fire button is naturally positioned for finger or thumb firing. The battery panel is fixed with magnets and very firmly fastened with zero play.

I then lifted the top layer which had a handy little ribbon to access the MAAT tank and spares. There is a little envelope with manuals for the mod and tank, a warranty card and a daft little card for the Gene chip stating “ Powerful Chip – Born for fever ” , uhh? The tank wasn’t as exciting as the mod but felt solid and functional. I primed up the dual mesh coil and left it to saturate for fifteen minutes. I soon ripped those off and threw some batteries in and it was really pleasing, it has a nice weight and feels high quality. The box is bland and is one of those ‘shake the sh*t out of it’ to open (a pet hate of mine, would it have hurt to put notches in the lid?). Once opened, things brighten up when you first see the beautiful mod on the top layer protected in film covered panels. It's not the easiest navigation and operation, but it packs a punch for high wattage tanks. TC Mode is very good, if a little complex. The MAAT tank, though good, isn’t anything amazing flavour wise although it features a superb, innovative design with a great top-fill mechanism. There is nothing new chip wise (same as Drag 2). The mod looks and feels luxurious with a quality construction and smoothed edges which feels great in the hand. Purchased from Ecigone, RRP = £74.99 but currently on sale at £39.99 (December 2019). The kit includes the innovative VOOPOO Maat tank which features a new middle adjustable airflow system, high power MT mesh coils with PnP (Plug & Play) design for simple coil changing with top filling for easy refilling.
It uses the GENE.Fit chip, which has been borrowed from older models of the Drag, and takes dual 18650 batteries with a claimed 0.01s firing speed and 180 Watts max output. It comes with double metal panels which feature metal carved craftsmanship and attractive colours. The VOOPOO Alpha Zip Kit is a powerful TC kit consisting of the 180W VOOPOO Alpha Zip Box mod and VOOPOO Maat tank. VOOPOO ALPHA ZIP 180W TC KIT WITH MAAT TANK Review
