The Voopoo Vinci is one of the brand's most popular pod mods, sitting between the simple Argus pods and the powerful Drag mods, yet is it worth buying? The Voopoo Vinci is an excellent versatile pod mod, with adjustable wattage, a good battery, the full range of PnP coils and an airflow system that switches easily between mouth to lung and direct to lung vaping, making it ideal for vapers who want more flexibility than a basic pod without the bulk of a full mod. Here is our review.

For context, our guide on Voopoo kit ranges explained shows where the Vinci sits. Our guide on which Voopoo kit you should buy helps you choose.

What the Vinci is

The Vinci is a pod mod, a device that combines the convenience of a refillable pod with the adjustable power and control of a mod. It is the range that really defined the pod mod category for Voopoo, with the current Vinci 3 a fine example, offering an 1800mAh built in battery, adjustable wattage up to 50W and a 4mL refillable pod. Built from zinc alloy with a clear juice window and a colour screen, it feels solid and looks modern without being bulky. Crucially it takes the full range of Voopoo's PnP coils, which is a big part of its appeal, making it suit vapers who have outgrown a simple pod kit.

Design and build

The Vinci strikes a good balance between pocketability and substance. It is compact enough to carry comfortably yet large enough to house a decent battery and feel reassuringly solid in the hand, helped by its zinc alloy frame. The colour screen is clear and shows wattage, battery level, coil resistance and a puff counter at a glance, which is genuinely useful day to day. A clear juice window lets you see when it is time to refill, while the rubberised base helps it stand steady. It is a well made device that looks and feels more premium than its price suggests, which has long been a Vinci strength.

Performance and flavour

Where the Vinci really shines is its flexibility. Thanks to the Mobius adjustable airflow system, you can dial the draw from a tight mouth to lung pull right through to an airy direct to lung one simply by turning the wheel, so a single device covers very different vaping styles. The kit typically includes two coils, a higher resistance one for restricted MTL or loose RDL and a lower resistance one for warmer DTL clouds, both delivering the rich, consistent flavour Voopoo's PnP mesh coils are known for. The GENE chip fires quickly and accurately, while Smart mode sets a sensible wattage for whatever coil you fit, which is handy.

Battery and coils

The Vinci's built in battery, around 1800mAh on the Vinci 3, gives solid all day life for moderate vaping, charging back up over USB-C, though heavy direct to lung users may want to top up during the day. The real strength is coil compatibility, since the Vinci takes the entire PnP range, from tight 1.0 ohm and higher MTL coils ideal for nic salts through to low resistance sub ohm coils for clouds, plus an RBA option for those who like to build. This means one Vinci can serve many different setups over its life, with coils that are affordable, widely available and shared with other Voopoo pod mods.

To pick one up, the Voopoo vape kits collection stocks the Vinci range alongside the PnP coils and pods that pair with it.

Who the Vinci suits

The Vinci is ideal for the vaper in the middle. If you have started on a simple pod kit and want more power, more control and the freedom to switch between MTL and DTL vaping, the Vinci is a natural step up without the size or complexity of a full sub ohm mod. It also suits experienced vapers who want a compact, flexible everyday device they can tune to whatever liquid and style they fancy, with our guide on mod kits versus pod kits explaining where it fits. About the only people it does not suit are absolute beginners who want the very simplest draw activated pod, plus dedicated cloud chasers who need the full power of a Drag mod.

The verdict

The Voopoo Vinci earns its popularity. It is a versatile, well built pod mod that does almost everything well, offering adjustable power, excellent PnP coil compatibility, a flexible airflow system that handles both MTL and DTL, a clear colour screen and solid battery life, all at a fair price. It is not the most powerful Voopoo device nor the simplest, though that is the point, since it sits in the sweet spot between the two. For anyone wanting a flexible all rounder that can grow with their tastes, the Vinci is an easy recommendation and one of the best pod mods Voopoo makes.
