Buying the wrong coils for your Voopoo kit is a common and frustrating mistake, since the names are similar but the platforms are not interchangeable. Most Voopoo Drag, Argus and Vinci kits use the PnP coil platform, newer devices like the Drag 5, 6 and S2 use the updated PnP X coils, the Drag 3 and Drag 4 use TPP coils with their tank, while compact pods like the Argus Pod and Doric use ITO coils, so you must match the coil family to your specific device. Here is how to find the right one.

Why coil families matter

Voopoo uses several different coil platforms across its range, none of them cross compatible, which is the root of most coil buying mistakes. A coil from one family physically will not fit, nor will it work properly, in a pod or tank designed for another, even if the resistance and name look similar. So before you buy replacement coils, the key question is not just which device you own, rather which coil platform that device uses. Get the family right and the rest is easy, since within each family you simply choose the resistance that suits your vaping style. Get the family wrong and the coils are useless to you.

The PnP platform

The PnP range, short for Plug and Play, is Voopoo's original and most widespread coil platform, used across a huge number of devices. If you have a Drag S, Drag X, an Argus pod kit or a Vinci, you almost certainly use PnP coils. These press fit coils come in resistances from 1.2 ohm down to 0.15 ohm, covering everything from tight MTL nic salt vaping to big direct to lung clouds, shared across so many devices that upgrading rarely means changing your coil stock. The PnP range is the one most Voopoo vapers will encounter, being widely available in every resistance.

The PnP X platform

PnP X is the newer, upgraded version of the PnP platform, introduced with devices like the Drag S2 and Drag X2 and used on the Drag 5, Drag 6, Argus Pro 2, Vinci E120 and more. It is important to know that PnP X is not fully interchangeable with the original PnP. A PnP X pod will accept both PnP and PnP X coils, though an original PnP pod will only take PnP coils, not the newer PnP X ones. The resistances and wattages match the PnP range, so the difference is in the pod and coil structure rather than the performance. If your device is one of the newer Drag or Vinci models, check whether it wants PnP or PnP X.

The TPP platform

The TPP range is a separate, higher power coil platform built for sub ohm vaping, not interchangeable with PnP at all. The Drag 3 and Drag 4 use TPP coils when fitted with their TPP tank. A useful detail is that some devices, like the Drag 3, can actually take either platform depending on which tank you attach, so a PnP pod uses PnP coils and a TPP tank uses TPP coils on the same mod. The key rule is simple though: a TPP coil will never fit a PnP pod, while a PnP coil will never fit a TPP tank, so always match the coil to the tank or pod you are using.

The ITO platform

The ITO range is Voopoo's coil platform for its most compact pod kits, designed for simple mouth to lung and restricted direct to lung vaping. If you have an Argus Pod, an Argus P1, a Doric 20 or a Drag Q, you likely use ITO coils, which come in resistances from around 0.5 ohm to 1.2 ohm and suit nic salts and 50/50 liquids. Like the others, ITO coils press into place and are not interchangeable with the PnP or TPP families. These are the coils for Voopoo's smallest, simplest devices, so if you have a pocket sized Voopoo pod, ITO is likely what you need. Our guide on the best Voopoo kit for beginners covers many of these compact pods.

How to be sure

If you are ever unsure which coils your Voopoo takes, there are a few easy ways to check. The simplest is to look at the coil currently in your device, which will have its type printed on it, such as PnP, PnP X, TPP or ITO. Your kit's box and manual also state the coil platform, while the product listing for your device will say which coils it uses. When buying, look for your exact device named in the coil's compatibility list. If in doubt, tell us your device and we will point you to the right coils, since matching the family correctly is the one thing that matters most.

The bottom line

Finding the right coils for your Voopoo kit comes down to matching the coil family to your device. Most Drag S and X, Argus and Vinci kits use PnP coils, newer Drag and Vinci models use PnP X, the Drag 3 and 4 use TPP with their tank, while compact pods like the Argus Pod and Doric use ITO. These platforms are not interchangeable, so always check which your device uses before buying, then simply pick the resistance that suits your style. Get the family right and you will never buy the wrong coil again.
