Voopoo’s latest high powered pod kit is the Voopoo Vinci E120 and thanks to Voopoo we’ve got one in for review!
The Vinci E120 joins a long line of Voopoo Vinci devices and we’ve taken a look at quite a lot of these in the past. Including reviews on the Voopoo Vinci 3, Vinci Pod Kit, Vinci Q, Vinci Pod SE and Vinci Pod Royal edition to name but a few.
Since their inception by ICCPP in 2016, Voopoo are one of the industry’s leaders. They have made a name for themselves by providing a wide range of quality devices that cater to all tastes globally.
What Can We Expect From The Voopoo Vinci E120?
Voopoo want you to ‘Dial into the Future’ with the Vinci E120! A device adorned with a customisable luxury watch face, a host of space age features and a lot of power in your hands!
There’s a 2.4″ large TFT screen boasting a large range of 18 different watch-face screensavers. This allows you to personalise your device to your tastes and have a pod kit that boasts a stand-out high-end feel to it. This one is sure to turn heads!
You haven’t really got to worry about battery life with the Voopoo Vinci E120, as this is packing one of the largest built in batteries ever seen in a pod system. It features a whopping 4500mAh high-density battery and it still manages to remain 50% lighter than other similar pod systems!
With that huge battery capacity, you can expect to get up to 10 day’s worth of vaping from a single charge. The Vinci E120 possesses fast charging capabilities to ensure you haven’t got to wait around for your device to charge up.
It’s no slouch on power either, as this can output up to 120W. You can manually adjust the output or use the option of the device smartly selecting the power output depending on the resistance of the coil used in your pod.
Voopoo’s PnP X coil platform is much vaunted and the Vinci E120 utilises this. You get pure flavour out of these coils, thanks to their mesh coil design and optimal wicking ports.
These coils also offer a lifespan in the region of 100ml without any coil degradation, burnt taste or leakage – saving you money on purchasing coils.
You can choose from 7 colour options: Spray Black, Star Purple, Rose Red, Snow Blue, Glow Silver, Grey Metal and Champagne Golden.
Many thanks to Voopoo for sending the Vinci E120 in for review. Let’s see what this has to offer!
As always, all views are my own…

Design & Build Quality
Well, this really is a stunner of a device! Upon taking it out of the box, I felt that the Vinci E120 looks like a very high-end piece of kit, with looks and a design that is sure to turn heads.
Dimensions wise, this measures 115mm x 23.6mm x 46.6mm and features a box-shaped design, with rounded edges so that it sits comfortably in the hand.
On first impressions I thought it was going to be a bit bulky to hold but after using it for a while, it really isn’t. The Vinci E120 is a comfortable device to use and it doesn’t feel too weighty either.
One of the stars of the show here is that glorious 2.4″ TFT screen on the front of the device. It offers an outstanding level of clarity in bright and low light conditions.
You’ve got the usual info displayed in colour on the screen. You can clearly see the battery life, power output, coil resistance, puff count and puff time and the time of day is displayed. A clock-themed screensaver will display on the device shortly after you use it.
Added bonus- you can also use this device as a clock!
The clock themes are customisable too but out of the box you only have two options with a total of 18 available. You need to unlock the others by vaping on the device! You unlock new themes when you reach different puff counts.
The Voopoo Vinci E120 runs on the Voopoo PnP X ecosystem, which I’ll go into a bit further in the review.
You get the Voopoo PnP X Direct to Lung (DTL) pod cartridge in the kit and coils can be replaced from the base of the cartridge quickly and easily.
The PnP DTL cartridge connects to the device magnetically and it is held in place firmly with no issues with it accidentally coming loose.
The build quality overall is excellent. This feels like a very well machined device with no sharp edges or rattly bits and it absolutely looks the part too.
PnP X Coil Platform
As mentioned in this review, the Voopoo Vinci E120 is compatible with the Voopoo PnP X ecosystem.
This involves a cartridge tailored to a specific vaping style and the ability to swap coils unlike other pod systems which feature a fixed coil in the pod.
You get a Vinci DTL pod included in the box, tailored to direct lung vaping, with mouth-to-lung (MTL), restricted direct lung (RDL) and ‘E’ cartridges available separately. We tell you what the terms DTL, RDL and MTL mean in our Guide To Vape Styles.
There is a large range of different coils available to use.
Choose from resistances of 0.15ohm, 0.2ohm, 0.3ohm, 0.45ohm, 0.6ohm, 0.8ohm and 1.0ohm. You are bound to find one that suits your own vaping style!
Quick Start Guide
How To Fill The Pod
You’ll need to fill the pod before you get going and you don’t even need to remove it from the device in order to do so.
The filling port cover is located near the top of the pod, you just pop this open, insert your bottle nozzle and fill the pod up.
If you are using a fresh coil for the first time you should let e-liquid sit in the pod for five minutes. This allows the cotton to fully absorb the e-liquid, prolonging the lifespan of the coil and reducing the chances of nasty dry and burnt hits occurring.
Changing The Coil
Thanks to Voopoo’s PnP technology, you can change coils easily. You simply pull the coil out from the base of the pod and slide a new one in.
Smartly, the GENE. T.T chip present in the device will automatically detect the resistance of the coil and set a suitable power output. However you can change this manually by using the + and – buttons on the side of the device.
Operation & Navigating The Menu
Five clicks of the power button will turn the Vinci E120 on and off.
To access the menu, hold the + and – buttons down simultaneously.
Navigating the menu is done using those buttons and you press the power button to confirm your selection. Menu options available are:
- Clock theme: allows you to customise the clock-face and theme
- Time calibration: allows you to set the time
- Screen lock: set the screen timeout period
- Exit: self explanatory!
Charging
The charging port is located on the side of the Vinci E120 and you do get a USB-C cable included in the kit.
5V/2A fast charging is featured here, which charges the device up quickly for one that packs such a large battery!
Handily, when the device is charging, not only to you get the battery displayed on screen but it will also tell you how many minutes is left until the battery is fully charged, which is a great touch from Voopoo.
Safety Protections
Seven safety protections are built in. These are: short circuit, overcharge, over-current, low battery, high temperature, maximum power protections and an 8 second vaping cut off.
A locking switch is located on the side allowing you to quickly lock and unlock the device for safety without needing to turn the device on and off.
How Does The Voopoo Vinci E120 Perform?
A 0.3ohm PnP X coil is already installed in the pod with a 0.15ohm coil included in the box, I’ll go into how these perform in a bit more detail below.
What I did note when using the Vinci E120 is that there’s virtually no ramp up time whatsoever when hitting the power button, this device fires instantaneously!
With this being a pod system, I’m very used to an auto-draw function so the device fires when you take a puff, without needing a power button. However there’s no auto-draw function here which took some getting used to at first! I’d love to see an auto-draw function on a future Vinci model like this one.
The coils will wick virtually any e-liquid that you can throw at them and coil lifespan is absolutely excellent too. I’ve been a long term user of the PnP X coils and these get well over a week’s worth of use even with high VG e-liquids.
0.15ohm Coil
This coil is recommended by Voopoo for use in the 60-80W range, so this is definitely for direct to lung vaping with the airflow open and big vapour production!
And this does excel at producing massive clouds of vapour, the most I’ve ever got from a pod that is for sure!
Flavour is still damn good even at high power. But the vape may be a little warm for some and the mouthpiece does get a bit toasty with repeated chain vaping at high wattage.
0.3ohm Coil
This coil has a recommended power range of 32-40W. 40W is the maximum that you will be able to use as the device will display ‘max power’ and will not allow you to go past that when you hit 40W.
I found that the sweet spot was right in the middle at 35W. This provided me with some truly excellent flavour and a slightly warm vape, perfect for my custards that I was vaping. The vapour production was no slouch either as I’ll detail below!
Out of the two, the 0.3ohm coil was my preferred option as I felt that the flavour was better here.
Airflow
When it comes to cloud production, this is an absolute beast of a pod system!
Having the RDL pod with the 0.3ohm and 0.15ohm coils included in the kit really allowed me to test out the cloud capabilities of this device. When you open the airflow right up and crank up the power you can seriously fill up a room in no time.
In fact, you don’t even really need to open the airflow up nor push the power limits of this device to produce some anti-social levels of vapour. This was annoying my wife at 35W with the airflow half open!
The Vinci E120 boasts a buttery smooth airflow control on the side of the device that is easy to adjust with my thumb and it will cater to all styles of vaping as a result.
On the opposite side to the airflow is a smaller airflow intake, which is designed for use with the MTL pod.
Essentially these pods have airflow intakes on the base so you can rotate the MTL pod to align the airflow intake at the base with the smaller airflow slot if you prefer a tighter draw.
It doesn’t make any difference with the DTL pod as this has two large airflow intakes on the base.
Battery Life
I was pretty taken aback when I saw that this was packing a 4500mAh built in high-density battery. That is the biggest I have come across on a pod system like this!
I’m quite used to pod systems lasting me a day before needing to charge them and I’m usually happy with that, but this thing just keeps on going.
From a full charge, using the 0.3ohm coil at 35W, I was getting well into three days of use. That makes this a device absolutely ideal for a weekend away and I never had to worry about the battery life when using the Vinci E120.
Absolutely exceptional battery life!

Final Verdict
It seems like Voopoo have really tried to think of everything needed in a pod system when designing the Vinci E120 and this device is near enough the full package.
I like the fact that this is a pretty simple, yet powerful, device to use and people won’t get overawed by a vast range of different menu options. The Vinci E120 keeps it simple yet still offers an excellent range of customisation and plenty of power.
When I think of Voopoo PnP X coils, I think ‘flavour’ from past experiences and these deliver a truly supreme, flavoursome vape. Honestly if you are a flavour junkie and want to experience all the flavour notes your e-liquids have to provide, then these coils are some of the best on the market in that field.
I’ve got to say that it performs so well and the battery lasts so long. This device has become an all day carry for me and one that I don’t leave home without.
Voopoo’s Vinci E120 is a device that pretty much does it all. It’s got the looks, the features and it certainly has the performance to boot too!
Many thanks to Voopoo for sending the Voopoo Vinci E120 in for review. This is available in the UK now!
