We’ve got another new addition to the Voopoo Vinci stable to look at with the Voopoo Vinci Spark 220!
Voopoo are a massive name in the vaping industry and have grown from strength to strength since they were founded by ICCPP in 2016. They pride themselves on providing award-winning vaping kits that cater to every vaping style.
Following on from the Voopoo Vinci E120, the Vinci Spark 220 joins a list of established stablemates such as the Voopoo Vinci 3, Vinci Pod Kit, Vinci Q, Vinci Pod SE and the Vinci Pod Royal Edition.
The Vinci range isn’t the only one that Voopoo offer, one of their most notable ranges is the Argus line. We’ve checked out a few of their most recent releases such as the Argus Z2 and the Argus Bar Pro Max – both of which are worth checking out!
Will the Voopoo Vinci Spark 220 set itself apart from the other top rated vape mods? Read on to find out more…
What Can We Expect From The Voopoo Vinci Spark 220?
Voopoo want you to ‘reach for the stars’ with the Voopoo Vinci Spark 220, one of the lightest and yet most advanced 220W box mod kits on the market!
Featuring a metallic box design and an Aluminium Alloy construction, the Voopoo Vinci Spark 220 weighs only 108 grams. Making it 30% lighter than other similar box mods.
It also provides an out of this world experience with the starlight panel display and nebula-styled animations.
There’s a multi-function button that allows you to fire the device and change the settings with an audible clicking sound. Plus a lock switch is present for convenience, allowing you to lock the device when not using it rather than having to turn it on and off.
As the name might suggest, the Voopoo Vinci Spark 220 is capable of outputting up to a mighty 220W, making it a true vaping powerhouse. It takes two 18650 batteries that can be easily replaced thanks to the magnetic battery door cover!
Three power output modes are supported by the Voopoo Vinci Spark 220. Smart Mode automatically sets the power output for you, RBA mode allowing you to adjust the power to your own liking and TC-TRC mode catering to fans of temperature controlled vaping.
An intuitive interface is paired with one of the highest quality full colour screens ever found on a box mod. The 1.47″ TFT colour screen being 2.4x the size of a regular box mod and boasting 4x the resolution!
It’s customisable too, with the ability to personalise the UI themes and an animated starlight coating is present.
Completing the Vinci Spark 220 kit is Voopoo’s renowned Uforce-X tank. It features a top airflow intake design to prevent leaks and provide an unparalleled direct-to-lung vaping experience.
By utilising PnP X coil technology, you can expect to get up to 100ml of consistent flavour from your e-liquids with no leaking or burnt taste. And when it is time to replace your coil, the PnP system makes it easy. Plus there’s a huge range of different coils to pick from in the PnP X range!
There are seven different colour finishes to pick from: Tech Silver, Midnight Black, Dark Red, Rose Red, Spring Green, Starlit Blue and Space Blue.
Many thanks to Voopoo for sending the Vinci Spark 220 in for review!
Let’s see what this kit has to offer! As always, all views are my own…
Kit Contents
The Voopoo Vinci Spark 200 kit comes in an attractive presentation box, really giving off a high end feel to the kit already. Inside the box you will find:

I know Voopoo have done this before with devices like the Drag 5, but including a replacement glass tank section and spares such as O-rings for the Uforce-X tank really shows that Voopoo care about the customer experience. Rather than some other manufacturers that don’t include spare parts in the box.

Design & Build Quality
So, measurements wise, the Voopoo Vinci Spark 220 measures 148mm x 45mm x 29mm including the Uforce-X tank and weighs 108g, which is actually quite light for a dual 18650 box mod.
There’s no mistaking it though, this is a big old kit and certainly not the most pocket friendly one you will get your hands on!
It does feel quite lightweight though, thanks to the aluminium alloy construction, yet at the same time it feels very solid and robust. The Voopoo Vinci Spark 220 has certainly stood up to the beating I have put it through since I received it and the finish has stood up to heavy use too!
I was sent the Dark Red version and my, this really is a gorgeous kit! I love how the Red colour gradually segues into Black. This really does look the part.
When you vape, not only does an animation play on the screen, but small white LEDs flash under the screen as part of the animated starlight coating. It’s a nice little touch that helps the Voopoo Vinci Spark 220 stand out.
The 1.47″ TFT colour screen is another standout feature here, bigger and clearer than a lot of other similar box mods that I have used. This displays information such as the output wattage, output mode, puff count, coil resistance and also the individual status of each 18650 battery.
You also have the ability to customise the UI too, with three different themes available right out of the box.
Another unique feature of the Voopoo Vinci Spark 220 is the multifunctional wheel button located on the side of the device. This gives you one button operation of the device, scrolling through settings by rotating the button or push it in to fire, with a satisfying audible click.
Opposite the wheel button is the locking switch, giving you the ability to lock the device at the flick of a switch when not in use. Just below this is the USB-C charging port.
On the rear of the device is a magnetic battery compartment cover, giving quick access to the battery compartment. The Voopoo Vinci Spark 220 takes two 18650 batteries, which are not included in the kit as standard.
The mod features a spring-loaded 510 threaded connector at the top, which you screw the included Uforce-X tank into for a secure connection. But this also gives you the ability to use other 510 threaded tanks if you so wish.
Uforce-X Tank
The second half of the Voopoo Vinci Spark 220 kit is the Uforce-X tank. This features a Stainless Steel construction with a glass tank section and 510 threading for compatibility with the Voopoo Vinci Spark 220 mod.
This tank features a 2ml capacity in TPD regulated markets and a 5.5ml capacity in markets outside of the TPD. A slide top filling mechanism at the top makes filling the tank easy and you can swap PnP X coils quickly via the base of the tank.
A top airflow design is used to leakproof the tank and there are two huge dual airflow intakes at the top that can be adjusted via the rotating airflow control. A wide bore drip tip is included with the tank, which can be replaced if you so wish.
In the kit, Voopoo provide a replacement tank section, which is handy if you accidentally break the glass in your Uforce-X tank. The replacement glass actually increases the capacity of the tank! So you’ll get a bump to 3.5ml or 6.5ml depending on which market you purchase the Voopoo Vinci Spark 220 in.
Quick Start Guide
Battery Installation
Before you get underway with the Voopoo Vinci Spark 220 kit, you’ll need two high-amp 18650 batteries, as the kit does not come with batteries included.
Make sure that the batteries are paired, from the same manufacturer and are rated for 25A and over!
Always make sure you purchase your batteries from a reputable vendor and do not store them loosely when not in use. We tell you more about battery safety in our guide here.
The battery compartment will house the batteries snugly. I highly recommend making use of the included battery ribbon and inserting your batteries on top of this, to make it easier to remove them.
Changing The Coil
After you have inserted your batteries, it’s time to decide whether you are going to make use of the 0.15ohm or 0.3ohm PnP X coil. These are both spare in the box and there isn’t a coil inserted in the Uforce-X tank to begin with.
Of course, as this tank is compatible with the range of PnP X coils, you can also use a wide range of different coil resistances.
Unscrew the base of the tank and simply slide your selected coil in, before screwing the base of the tank back on. Hey presto, you are almost ready to go, next it is time to fill the tank!
How to Fill the Tank
Voopoo have designed the Uforce-X tank to provide hassle free filling and it possesses a great sliding top fill system.
Locate the ‘push’ and triangle icon at the top of the tank and yes, give it a push to reveal the filling port.
Then pop your bottle nozzle in and fill the tank all the way up!
If you are using a new PnP X coil for the first time, let the e-liquid stand in the tank for five minutes before vaping. This is so that the cotton in the coil is fully saturated with e-liquid, thus prolonging the lifespan of the coil and reducing the chance of burnt or dry hits.
Operation
You are going to want to turn the device on and to do that simply press the multifunctional button five times. Pressing it five times again will turn it off.
To lock the device, rather than turning it off, push the locking switch (opposite to the multifunctional button) down and ‘LOCK SWITCH’ will be displayed on screen with a locked icon. Push the locking switch up to unlock the device and ‘UNLOCK’ will display on screen.
Adjusting the power output can be done by rotating the multifunctional button clockwise, rotating it counterclockwise will decrease the power output.
Clicking the power button five times will take you into the menu screen.
Menu options
- Mode: allows you to switch between Smart Mode (which automatically adjusts output power based on the resistance of the coil), RBA mode (which allows you to set your own output power setting from 5-220W) and TC-TCR for temperature controlled vaping.
- Theme: customise the UI with a choice of three different themes
- Switch: customise the locking switch to lock the whole device or just the wattage adjustment
- Animation: switch vaping animations on and off
- Light: switch the light display on and off
- Puff clean: clear all puff data
- Battery evaluation: evaluate the health of your batteries (only available with the 0.15ohm PnP X coil)
- About device: displays the current software version
- Exit: exits the main menu.
Software is also upgradable when using a USB Type-C data cable to connect the mod to your computer. The latest software versions will be available from the support page on Voopoo’s official website.
Charging
With any device that uses removable batteries, where possible you should charge the batteries up outside of the mod using a suitable external charger purchased from a reputable vendor.
If you do charge your batteries in the mod itself, then it is recommended that you use the included Type-C charging cable or one compatible with 5V/3A charging. Always ensure you are using a safe power source to charge the mod up and don’t charge it up out of sight.
Charging speeds will depend on the capacity of the batteries that you are using and the power output source.
Safety Features
Safety is paramount with the Voopoo Vinci Spark 220 and this device boasts 8 second vaping overtime, short-circuit, low battery, overcharge, over temperature, output over-current and reverse battery polarity protections.
How Does The Voopoo Vinci Spark 220 Perform?
In the box, you get the 0.15ohm and 0.3ohm PnP X coils to try out. Voopoo leave it up to you to decide which one to use first as the Uforce-X tank does not have a coil pre-installed.
By using the PnP X platform, you get a large range of coils that are compatible with the Uforce-X tank, so you aren’t just restricted to the two included coils!
You can pick from 0.15ohm, 0.2ohm, 0.3ohm, 0.45ohm, 0.6ohm, 0.8ohm and 1.0ohm coils, offering options for mouth to lung right through to direct lung vaping.
That being said, the Uforce-X tank isn’t really set up for mouth to lung vaping. This is a tank designed for high-powered direct lung/restricted direct lung vaping, so ideally you won’t want to use a higher resistance coil than the 0.6ohm one at most. 0.15ohm to 0.45ohm ideally!
0.15ohm PnP X Coil
If you are looking at taking advantage of the sizeable amount of power that the Voopoo Vinci Spark 220 is capable of outputting, then you’ll want to use the 0.15ohm PnP X coil.
This coil is capable of wicking high VG e-liquid quickly, making it an ideal one for high powered sub-ohm vaping and producing huge levels of dense, room filling vapour.
It isn’t just capable of chucking out the clouds, it provides a warm and tasty vape too.
A word of caution, the Uforce-X tank will get very warm when pushing high wattage through it and the vape itself will be quite hot too. To reduce this, vape in shorter bursts and make sure the airflow is opened right up.
0.3ohm PnP X Coil
I’ve had a lot of experience with the 0.3ohm PnP X coil over time and it remains one of my favourite stock coils to date!
This is perfect for my restricted lung vaping style and the flavour is absolutely fantastic in the 37-40W region. This coil really showcases the flavour notes in complex e-liquids and is a solid all-rounder with all types of e-liquid.
This can also produce some quite impressive levels of vapour too, especially in combination with the huge airflow slots on the Uforce-X tank!
Coil Lifespan
PnP X coils are touted to be able to withstand up to 100ml worth of refills. I’ve used them for a fair while but to be honest I have never measured exactly how much e-liquid they have got through!
On average, I will get over a weeks worth of use from one of these coils and they will wick pretty much any type of e-liquid you can throw at them. The design of the coil and the tank ensures I get a leak free vaping experience too.
At the time of writing I have been using this device on a daily basis and both the 0.15ohm and 0.3ohm coils are still going strong with no signs of flavour degradation yet!
Airflow
Just take a look at the airflow slots on the Uforce-X tank. They are absolutely huge!
Even just by looking at this tank, you can tell it means business in the vapour department.
Airflow is adjusted by rotating the incredibly smooth airflow control ring and the selected airflow setting stays in place too. I haven’t had issues with it accidentally adjusting in my pocket.
With the airflow slots set to fully open, this delivers room-filling levels of vapour, even with it closed down. Most definitely an unrestricted lung hit here! When you close the airflow down this will still kick out clouds that compete with the best of them.
I will usually run this with the airflow set to around a third open with the 0.3ohm coil and I find that plenty enough for me.
Battery Life
Battery life will be dependent on the capacity of the 18650 batteries that you are using in the Voopoo Vinci Spark 220, as well as coil resistance and wattage level.
When using Molicell 2800mAh 25A batteries, I will get a full days worth of vaping with the 0.3ohm PnP X coil in the 35-40W region.
When using the 0.15ohm PnP X coil and cranking the wattage up, I’ll only get a few hours of use before I need to charge my batteries back up!
Temperature Controlled Vaping
Temperature Controlled Vaping is supported by the Voopoo Vinci Spark 220. Its supports Ni200, Titanium, SS316 and SS430 coils, with an adjustable temperature range of 200-600F/ 100-315C.
I didn’t have any temperature controlled compatible coils to test out with this device I am afraid, though the option is there if you are a TC vaper!
Pros
- Outstanding looks
- Solid build quality
- Great flavour from the PnP X coils
- Capable of producing huge clouds
- One button operation
- Variable wattage and temperature controlled vaping
- Long lifespan from the PnP X coils
- Spares included in the kit
- Excellent top filling system
- Device can be customised
Cons
- This is a really big kit, not the most pocket friendly one to carry around!
- Battery health evaluation is only available with the 0.15ohm coil
- Tank gets a little toasty at high wattage
- Uforce-X tank also gets through a lot of e-liquid
Final Verdict
With the Voopoo Vinci Spark 220, Voopoo really cement themselves at the top of the sub ohm box mod vaping game and they continue to find new ways to set the bar for everyone else.
This is a device that is packing it all, from great looks, to all the power you could pretty much need in your hands. Even temperature controlled vaping is catered for, which is something I don’t often see with box mods these days!
It’s also customisable too, so you can personalise your device and ensure that it turns heads.
I’m pleased to see that following on from the Drag 5, Voopoo have continued to use the Uforce-X tank as this is one of the best sub ohm tanks around.
Plus, by having compatibility with the PnP X coil platform, there are loads of different coils to choose from. These are widely sold with lots of online and bricks and mortar vendors, making it easy to get hold of replacements.
If you are after a full fat, high powered box mod then the Voopoo Vinci Spark 220 is definitely one to consider. I’ve really struggled to find any faults with this one at all, and it’s a lovely looking device too!
