The DRAGBAR 5000 and DRAGBAR 5000C disposable shoes are ZOVOO’s flagship product in 2022. The vibrant color combination of the body, 5,000 puffs per stick, and super-dense taste feel are all the result of the efforts of the ZOVOO development team that resulted in these two lines.
Compared to other disposable e-cigarettes on the market, DRAGBAR 5000/5000C are extremely attractive in terms of cool design, interesting lighting in the 5000C model, excellent flavor transfer and a large number of them (20 options in total for all).
All ZOVOO disposable vapes are UL, FCC, CE, KC, RoHS, PMTA certified. And both models do not contain sugar at all (some kind of clever substitute is used), which is not only useful for longer operation of the evaporator, but also for your health.
You can get acquainted with the entire range of ZOVOO products on the official website. buy vape pods You can read more about the DRAGBAR 5000 model here, and about the DRAGBAR 5000C model here.
Currently, only one possible nicotine option is available on the manufacturer’s website – 50 mg/ml, which makes it impossible to legally sell these models either in the Russian Federation or in the Republic of Belarus. I do not rule out that a “light” version with a strength of 20 mg/ml, modified and localized packaging will be released for supplies to our countries.
Packaging of disposable DRAGBAR 5000
Review of disposable DRAGBAR 5000C from Zovoo – packaging
Both one-off models came to me in English-language packaging. Instead of the already slightly boring cardboard boxes, the sticks are packaged in transparent plastic tubes and covered with thermal film, which works both as a protective layer and as a first-opening control. The names of the flavors are clearly visible through the transparent walls, but they are also written on the top of the lids. There is also information about the volume of liquid and nicotine concentration. On the side are sales barcodes and other technical and legal information, which is printed in small but readable font. There is also a sticker on the bottom cover with a device authentication code.

From a technical point of view, both models are the same, the only differences are in the design. DRAGBAR 5000 (in all photos they will be on a blue background) is simply an elongated cylinder with a built-in mouthpiece. The case is made of transparent plastic, tinted on the inside in a different color for each flavor option, and on the bottom there is a colored cover that hides the control board and charging with a USB Type-C connector. Air is supplied through four small holes; behind the fifth there is a small and almost invisible LED, which lights up during charging and generally shows that the device is working, triggering simultaneously with the puff.
DRAGBAR 5000C (in the photo they are on a pink background) is a similar cylinder, but opaque, and covered with a thin plastic sticker with a print of geometric shapes. On top of the mouthpiece there is a lid, wider and in some ways more convenient than in the previous model. Below is a base ring that looks monolithic in outline and made of steel, although it is also plastic, just cleverly painted. There is only one hole at the bottom – through it the device takes in air and through it it is charged from a cable with a USB Type-C connector.
The most interesting and unexpected begins after the puff. The entire metallized part begins to glow and shimmer in different colors, becoming completely transparent from the inside. The glow is very long and varied. Unfortunately, the photo review format cannot show all the riot of colors, so I recommend watching the animation on the product page. And then decide if you’re willing to receive 30 seconds of light show after each puff.
The charging current for both models (as well as the rest of the filling) is absolutely the same. On an empty battery – about 1 Ampere, on an almost fully charged electronics it is slightly limited, therefore the numbers in the photo above are smaller. In any case, charging from scratch will take you about two hours.
Testing and tastes of DRAGBAR 5000 and 5000C
You can compare and evaluate the sizes of disposable DRAGBARs with each other, as well as with an AA battery, in the photo above. From left to right: DRAGBAR 5000, DRAGBAR 5000C, battery, DRAGBAR 5000C, DRAGBAR F8000.
Inside each disposable device there is a battery containing a reactive alkali metal – lithium. Such batteries should not be thrown away with household waste, but should be taken for recycling or special disposal.
DRAGBAR 5000 – MENTHOL
The simplest and most understandable option. It smells like mint and a little cool menthol. However, it does not resemble chewing gum, because there is no unnecessary sweetness or fruity notes in the aroma. The taste is expectedly cool on the inhale, and then – pure and uncomplicated peppermint in all its glory. There is simply nothing more to add.
DRAGBAR 5000 – BANANA ICE
The aroma of banana is extremely rich and powerful, at first it seems even too much. But you quickly get used to it and stop paying attention to it. The taste is soft, with a milky aftertaste. The banana seems ripe to the point of starchiness; it is these fruits that often lose their yellow color in stores, but in return they acquire the ability to give you a luxurious taste sensation. There is very little sweetness as such, as well as chilliness, the latter will be most noticeable exclusively in the aftertaste.
DRAGBAR 5000 – TOBACCO
The smell of tobacco is truly “Chinese”, having almost nothing in common with real dried and fermented leaves. However, it is pleasant and familiar to steamers. The taste when you inhale is very, very rich, you can even cough if you don’t mentally prepare yourself for the first puff. A deep breath will reveal to you the amazingly unique taste of imitation tobacco, with characteristic notes of cookies, vanilla, spices and a spicy hint of red pepper during exhalation. The aftertaste is long, with floral notes and thick dark caramel. If it were not for the high strength, I would be ready to vape this tobacco without stopping at all.
DRAGBAR 5000С – GREEN APPLE ICE
The smell of green apple is decently sour, fresh and juicy. There are no chemical notes at all, but the aroma is still slightly unnatural. Apparently the lack of sweetener has an effect. The taste upon inhalation is barely cool and neutral, a deep breath instantly reveals it and dumps the apple component mixed with pleasant sourness and coolness from the cooler onto your receptors. The exhale is slightly tart and feels less like an apple than like a kiwi, the aftertaste is fairly sour and almost without a chill.
DRAGBAR 5000С – STRAWBERRY ICE
With strawberry flavor the situation is completely different. The smell is natural, without sourness, aromatic and powerful. The inhale taste is soft and crisp, the berries are clean and ripe. A deep puff adds a slight chill and a rather strange sensation of sugar-free jam. I don’t even know how to explain this more clearly. As you exhale, the receptors and brain give in, and you get a pleasantly sweet strawberry with a moderate dose of coolness.
DRAGBAR 5000С – GRAPE ICE
Grapes are slightly cooler than strawberries, but less frosty than apples. The taste is powerful and tart on the inhale, barely oily on a deep puff and pleasantly sour in the aftertaste. The smell is definitely like dark grapes, but not the Isabella variety, but rather some variety with large berries. Vapors easily and tasty, even despite the fairly high nicotine content.
DRAGBAR 5000С – MANGO ICE
I have been looking for a long time for a worthy replacement for mango-flavored cold liquids from Malaysia. It seems my search is over. This is it! The perfect scent of ripe fruit, with just the right hint of resinity and hints of honey. Excellent taste, which conveys both shades of juicy pulp and emphasizes the barely tart crust. Although there is still a little less cooler inside than in Malaysian mixes, the overall vaping experience is simply ideal both during inhalation and exhalation, and in the aftertaste. I highly recommend trying it.
DRAGBAR 5000С – LUSH ICE
The last, eighth taste in the review. It so happened that he impressed me less than the others. It’s all about the “main feature” of both lines – the absence of sugar. Understand correctly, unsweetened watermelon is something not entirely normal, even if it is cold. Okay, he’s not that bad, he’s just unusual. The aroma is like a mixture of watermelon and barely minty bubblegum. The taste is moderately cold when inhaling, and when inhaling deeply it is immoderately chilling. You will feel the main taste of unsweetened watermelon pulp during exhalation, and it will remain in the aftertaste for a fairly long time. If you are tired of sweet tastes, you can try it. But if you, like me, think that watermelon should be sugary, just ignore this stick.
DRAGBAR 5000 and 5000C. Personal impressions
Engineers from ZOVOO were able to create a bright and interesting product that will definitely find its buyer. A huge number of puffs, a fairly capacious battery, excellent flavor transfer and dense, rich vapor. And also moderately fast charging in a convenient and modern format. The absence of sugar is another positive feature that will not only extend the life of the mesh evaporator, but will have a beneficial effect on your health. But some of the unsweetened flavors will take a little getting used to. I look forward to the appearance of these models on our market with the amount of nicotine reduced to 2%.
