VooPoo Vinci E120 Pod Kit overview: a 120W refillable pod mod for UK adults

The VooPoo Vinci E120 Pod Kit is a rechargeable, refillable pod mod for adult vapers who want a large cloud and a rich flavour from a device that still reads as a pod system rather than a full box mod. It pairs an integrated 4500mAh battery with an adjustable output of 5W to 120W, a 2.4-inch colour TFT screen, adjustable airflow and Voopoo's PnP X pod and mesh coil system.

That mix tells you what kind of device this is. The Vinci E120 is built for direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping, where you draw the vapour straight into your lungs through a fairly open airway, much as you would with a sub-ohm tank. It is not a draw-activated starter pod that you leave in a coat pocket and forget about. You press a fire button, you choose a wattage, and you shape the draw by changing the power and the airflow.

The kit sits in Voopoo's Vinci range, a line the brand has used for several years for pod devices that have a proper screen and a chip that gives the user real control. The E120 is the higher-powered, larger-battery member of that family, and its main selling point is that it can run low-resistance mesh coils at the sort of wattage that normally calls for a separate mod and tank.

Our listing covers a family of 8 variants. On a kit, those variants are about colour and finish rather than taste, so the choice you make at the basket is cosmetic. The flavour you actually vape is decided by the e-liquid you pour into the pod, which we cover in its own section further down.

This guide goes through performance, flavour, design, battery, coils, nicotine strength, who the device suits, setup, troubleshooting and value, with fair comparisons against alternatives. It is written for UK adults, so it also covers the rules that apply here, including the 2ml pod limit, the 20mg/ml nicotine cap on e-liquid and where to recycle the device when it reaches the end of its life. You must be 18 or over to buy or use this product, and it is intended for adults who already smoke or vape, not for anyone who has never used nicotine.

VooPoo Vinci E120 key specifications at a glance

The figures below reflect the published specifications we could verify for this model. Where a number depends on the variant you buy or the pod you fit, we say so rather than guess.

• Battery: built-in 4500mAh lithium-ion cell, charged over USB Type-C.
• Output: adjustable from 5W up to 120W.
• Pod system: PnP X pods; in the UK the pod holds a maximum of 2ml of e-liquid.
• Coils: PnP X mesh coils; the pods supplied with the kit are typically a 0.15Ω and a 0.3Ω, with the wider replacement range running from about 0.15Ω to 0.6Ω.
• Screen: 2.4-inch TFT colour display.
• Airflow: adjustable.
• Vaping style: direct-to-lung.
• Size: roughly 115mm tall, 46.6mm wide and 23.6mm deep.
• Age restriction: 18+ only.

A note on pod capacity. Some overseas listings and reviews quote a larger pod for this platform. E-cigarette tanks and pods sold in the UK are limited to 2ml under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016, so the 2ml figure is the one to expect from a UK supplier. If you see a bigger number on a non-UK page, treat it as not applicable to a unit bought here.

What the figures mean in practice: the 4500mAh cell is large for a device this size, 120W is enough headroom that you will rarely want to run it flat out, and the low-resistance coils are what make the vapour and flavour output possible. Taken together they put the Vinci E120 closer to a compact box mod than to the slim pod kits that most people buy first.

The kit pack normally includes the device, pods, a USB-C cable and a user manual. Exact contents can differ between suppliers and between variants, so check the product listing for the precise list before you order.

Performance and puff delivery: what the E120 does in daily use

Performance is where this kit earns its place. The combination of a big battery and low-resistance mesh coils means the device heats quickly, holds its output steady as the battery drains, and produces dense vapour with a draw that feels open rather than restricted. If you have used a basic MTL (mouth-to-lung) pod and found it thin or tight, the difference here is obvious from the first few draws.

The 5W to 120W range is wider than any single coil needs. It exists so that one chip can serve many coil types across the PnP X family. For the pods in this kit, the practical window is much narrower, and the right figure is the wattage range printed on the coil itself. A sensible habit is to start in the middle of that range, vape a few draws, and then move up or down in small steps until the warmth and flavour suit you. Running a coil above its printed range burns e-liquid faster, shortens coil life and can taste harsh or scorched.

The 0.15Ω coil is the high-output option. It is designed to take more power, so it gives a bigger cloud, a warmer vapour and a stronger throat feel at the same nicotine strength. The 0.3Ω coil uses less power and less e-liquid, gives a slightly cooler and smoother draw, and stretches the battery further. Many owners keep both on hand and swap depending on the mood: the 0.15Ω for relaxed, large draws, and the 0.3Ω for lighter, more economical sessions.

How many puffs will you get? A refillable device has no fixed puff count in the way a prefilled disposable does, because the answer depends on you. As a rough guide, a full 2ml pod vaped at higher wattage on a low-resistance mesh coil lasts somewhere around 100 to 200 draws, depending on how long each draw is and how hard you run the coil. Lower wattage on the 0.3Ω coil stretches that further. Treat these as estimates, not promises. The useful point is that the pod is simply refilled, so total puffs are limited by your battery, your coil and your e-liquid supply rather than by a sealed cartridge.

Airflow is the second control. Opening the airflow gives a cooler, airier draw and a bigger cloud; closing it down concentrates flavour and raises the warmth and throat hit. Moving between the two settings is a quick way to tune the same coil to different e-liquids, since fruit and ice liquids usually suit more air and creamy or tobacco liquids usually suit less.

One caution about DTL devices in general: they use more e-liquid than a low-power pod. If you are used to a 2ml pod lasting a full day on a 10W device, expect to refill several times a day at 60W or more. That is normal for the style, and it is worth factoring into the running cost.

Flavour profile and e-liquid pairing for a refillable kit

A kit has no flavour of its own. Everything you taste comes from the e-liquid you choose, and the Vinci E120 is a good vehicle for flavour because mesh coils heat a large surface area evenly. That tends to give a clean, well-defined taste and fewer of the muted or burnt notes that older single-wire coils produce when pushed hard.

Here are eight flavour styles that work well in a device of this type, with a note on why.

• Blue raspberry ice: a sweet fruit base with a cooling finish. The open airflow keeps the cooling note crisp rather than overpowering.
• Strawberry kiwi: a bright, juicy fruit blend that stays distinct at higher wattage on the 0.15Ω coil.
• Watermelon ice: light, refreshing and forgiving, which suits all-day use on the cooler 0.3Ω coil.
• Menthol and peppermint: clean cooling flavours that show off the mesh coil's even heat. Run them a little warmer to avoid a thin taste.
• Classic tobacco: best at lower wattage with the airflow half-closed, so the earthy notes come through without turning bitter.
• Vanilla custard: a dessert profile that benefits from slightly tighter airflow. Be aware that heavily sweetened liquids tend to leave residue on the coil sooner.
• Cola and soft drink styles: fizzy, sharp flavours with strong recognition, which hold up well under strong airflow.
• Mango and passion fruit: a tropical mix with a fuller body that rewards a medium wattage setting.

For the liquid itself, a ratio between 50/50 and 70/30 VG/PG is the usual window for mesh coils in this class. A higher PG share gives a stronger throat feel and sharper flavour. A higher VG share gives a smoother, thicker vapour. If you move to a thicker liquid and notice dry or hot hits, lower the wattage a little or switch to the 0.3Ω pod so the wick has time to keep up.

About the eight variants in the family: they are different colours and finishes of the same kit, not different tastes. If you came to this page looking for a flavour list as you would for a disposable, the honest answer is that you pick the flavour separately. That is also the main benefit of a refillable system, because you can change flavour as often as you like by emptying and rinsing the pod or simply finishing a bottle and starting another.

When you change flavours, a rinse of the pod between very different liquids, for example from menthol to custard, avoids ghosting where the previous taste lingers. A coil that has been used with a sweet dessert liquid will carry some of that character, so many owners change the coil when they change flavour family.

Design and build quality: size, screen and handling

At about 115mm by 46.6mm by 23.6mm, the Vinci E120 is larger than a slim pod kit and smaller than a typical box mod with a separate tank. It is a wide, flat device built around the big battery, so it fills the hand more than it fits in a tight pocket. If you wear slim jeans, check that you are comfortable carrying something of this width before ordering. A jacket or bag pocket is more forgiving.

The front carries a 2.4-inch colour TFT screen, which is generous for this class. It is used to show wattage, battery level and information about the coil that is fitted, and it is bright enough to read quickly without squinting. The larger display makes adjusting power simple, because you can see exactly what you are changing as you press the up and down buttons.

Voopoo usually builds its Vinci devices with a metal alloy frame and a finish that varies by colourway. The family of eight variants covers different looks, and some finishes grip better than others. A textured or leather-effect finish is easier to hold at arm's length, while a polished one is more attractive but shows fingerprints. For a device you handle all day, it is worth thinking about this before choosing, particularly if you have small hands.

The pod clicks into the top of the device with a firm, secure connection. Because the PnP X pod is a sealed unit with a coil built in, you do not unscrew anything or handle loose atomiser parts. That lowers the chance of fitting a coil badly, which is a common reason for leaks on tanks. Filling is done through a fill port on the pod that is closed with a silicone plug when not in use.

Voopoo chips generally include the usual safeguards, such as short-circuit protection, over-temperature protection and low-voltage cut-off, and the device will show a message if it does not detect a coil or the resistance is out of range. These are useful for a device that can output up to 120W, and they are one reason a pod mod of this type is less intimidating than a mechanical or unprotected setup. Even so, you should treat any high-power device with care and never use it with damaged parts.

On build quality, the thing to look for when your kit arrives is the same as with any rechargeable device. Press each button, check the pod seats firmly, and confirm that the screen lights up cleanly. If anything feels loose or fails, contact the seller promptly with your order number so they can sort it out under the warranty.

Battery life and charging: what 4500mAh gets you

The battery is the headline feature. A 4500mAh integrated cell is large for a pod device, and it is what lets the Vinci E120 run low-resistance coils for an extended spell without a charge. Because the battery is built in, you cannot swap it, so you charge the whole device.

It helps to put rough numbers on it. At around 60W, each three-second draw uses roughly 180 joules. A 4500mAh cell holds somewhere around 16 to 17 watt-hours, and allowing for conversion losses you can think of a full charge as a few hundred draws at that power. At lower wattage, such as 35W to 40W on the 0.3Ω coil, the figure is noticeably higher. These are estimates from simple arithmetic, not lab measurements, and your real result depends on draw length, coil, wattage and temperature. As a practical guide, most owners can expect a full day of moderate vaping, and light users will go for longer between charges.

In use, the battery will often outlast the pod. Many people find that they refill the 2ml pod several times before the battery runs low, which is a good sign for a device in this class. You will still want to top up regularly rather than waiting for the screen to show a low-battery warning in the middle of a day out.

Charging is over USB Type-C, so the cable is one you probably already own. A full recharge takes a few hours, depending on how powerful your charger and cable are. A charger from a reputable maker rated at around 5V and 2A is a sensible choice. A very low-power port, such as an old computer socket, works but slows the process.

A few simple safety habits go a long way with any lithium-ion product:

• Use a proper charger and the cable supplied, and avoid cheap unbranded adapters.
• Do not charge the device under a pillow, on a sofa cushion or any other soft surface.
• Do not leave it charging unattended overnight if you can avoid it.
• Keep it away from keys and coins in a pocket, and out of hot cars.
• Stop using it if the case is swollen, cracked or unusually hot.

Recycling and disposal. A vape with a built-in battery must never go in household bins or kerbside recycling, because crushed lithium cells cause fires in collection lorries and sorting plants. In the UK you can take it to a household waste recycling centre, a supermarket small-electricals bin or any retailer that sells vapes, since shops have to offer take-back. Look for a recycling drop-off point near you through the Recycle Your Electricals location finder before you bin an old device.

PnP X pods and mesh coil technology explained

The Vinci E120 uses Voopoo's PnP X pod system. A PnP X pod is a sealed e-liquid reservoir with the coil attached to it. When the coil wears out, you replace the whole pod, not a separate part. That is why the kit comes with pods rather than loose coils, and why spare pods are the main consumable you will buy over the life of the device.

What is a mesh coil? A conventional coil is a length of wire wrapped around cotton. A mesh coil is a thin sheet of perforated metal, and the cotton sits against it. Mesh has far more surface area touching the liquid, so it heats quickly and evenly, produces more vapour for a given wattage and tends to deliver flavour more cleanly. It also tends to be more forgiving about sweet liquids, although a sweet liquid will still shorten the life of any coil.

The two resistances in the kit suit different jobs.

• 0.15Ω: the high-power coil. It takes the most wattage, uses the most e-liquid and delivers the biggest cloud and warmest vapour.
• 0.3Ω: the moderate coil. It draws less power, wastes less e-liquid and gives a cooler, smoother draw that stretches the battery further.
• Up to roughly 0.6Ω: the wider replacement range. Higher resistances in the PnP X family are generally gentler and better suited to tighter draws, so you can tailor the device to a lighter style if you want it.

Match the pod to the wattage printed on it. Fitting a pod and then guessing the power is the most common reason for harsh or burnt flavours, and the screen helps here because it reads the coil fitted and lets you set an appropriate figure.

Coil life. There is no fixed number, because it depends on the liquid, the wattage and your habits. Many users replace a pod after roughly one to two weeks of regular use, sooner with sweet, thick liquids and a little later with clean fruit or menthol styles. The signs a coil is finished are a dull or burnt taste, reduced vapour, gurgling or a harsh throat hit that does not improve after priming.

Priming a new pod. Fill the pod, then leave it standing for ten to fifteen minutes so the cotton soaks through. Take a couple of gentle draws without pressing the fire button before you vape normally. Skipping this step is the most frequent cause of an early dry hit that ruins a coil on day one.

A compatibility reminder: PnP and PnP X are related but separate pod families, so always match the name printed on your device and pod rather than assuming that any Voopoo pod will fit. If you are unsure, check the listing for the exact pod name before you buy spares.

Choosing nicotine strength for a DTL pod kit in the UK

The Vinci E120 does not come with e-liquid, so nicotine strength is your decision. In the UK, nicotine e-liquid is capped at 20mg/ml (2%), and bottles of nicotine e-liquid are limited to 10ml. That rule applies to refill liquids and it also applied to the disposable vapes that were once common, which is why you will see 20mg listed so often. Larger volumes, such as 50ml and 100ml, are sold as shortfills, which contain little or no nicotine and are mixed with a separate nicotine shot that you add yourself.

Because the E120 is a direct-to-lung device running at significant power, it works best with lower nicotine strengths than a mouth-to-lung pod. More vapour per draw means more nicotine per draw, and the warmth and volume make a high strength harsh. As a general guide for adults who already smoke or vape:

• 0mg to 3mg: for people who vape often and want a relaxed, flavour-first experience, or those who are gradually cutting down.
• 3mg to 6mg freebase: a common range for ex-smokers who move to DTL vaping. Start at 3mg and go up only if you find you are still craving cigarettes.
• 6mg to 12mg freebase: for heavier smokers who want a firmer throat hit. At higher wattage, 12mg can feel strong, so many people lower the power or use the 0.3Ω pod with this strength.
• Nicotine salts: these are designed for low-power devices and are usually sold at 10mg to 20mg. At 50W or more, a 20mg salt delivers a very large dose in each draw and is likely to feel overwhelming. If you prefer salts, choose the lowest strength you can find and consider the 0.3Ω coil at a modest wattage.

These are general ideas, not medical advice. If you are unsure, start low. You can always go up a step on your next bottle, but you cannot take nicotine back out of a liquid you have already mixed.

If you are a non-smoker, vaping nicotine is not recommended, and if you do not currently use nicotine there is no health reason to start. For smokers trying to quit, vaping is generally considered far less harmful than smoking, and many people find a refillable device with adjustable strength helpful because they can step the strength down over time. Speak to a pharmacist or your local stop smoking service if you would like support alongside it.

Finally, a point on rules. Because the Vinci E120 is rechargeable and refillable, it is not affected by the single-use vape ban that came into force across the UK on 1 June 2025. The ban covers disposables, not reusable devices like this one, which is one reason pod kits have become the standard recommendation for people who liked the convenience of a disposable.

Who the Vinci E120 suits, and who should skip it

No device is right for everyone, and the Vinci E120 is more specialised than most pod kits. Here is a straightforward view.

It is a good fit if you:

• Prefer direct-to-lung vaping and want sub-ohm style clouds in a pod format.
• Have outgrown a basic MTL pod and find low-power devices thin or unsatisfying.
• Want a large battery that lasts a full day of moderate use.
• Like having control: wattage, airflow and different coil resistances in one device.
• Are comfortable refilling a pod and replacing it when it wears out.
• Prefer a compact alternative to a box mod and separate tank.

You should probably skip it if you:

• Are new to vaping or have only ever used a disposable. A simpler, lower-power pod kit is easier to learn on and uses less e-liquid.
• Prefer a tight, cigarette-like draw. The E120 is aimed at open, airy inhalation and does not do MTL well at its intended settings.
• Vape high-strength nicotine salts, since they do not suit DTL power levels.
• Want the smallest possible device. The E120 is a substantial pocket item.
• Do not want to refill, prime or replace parts. Sealed prefilled systems are less work.
• Are on a very tight budget for running costs. DTL vaping uses a lot more e-liquid than low-power use.

If you are not sure which camp you fall into, here is a simple test. If you currently take a long, slow draw into your lungs, and you have enjoyed larger clouds on a tank before, you are in the target audience. If you take a short, tight draw into your mouth first and then inhale, a lower-power pod is a better first step, and the E120 is something to consider later.

Finally, remember this is an adult product. It is sold to people aged 18 and over and should be kept away from children and pets. E-liquid containing nicotine is a poison if swallowed, so store bottles safely and securely.

How to set up and use the Vinci E120 step by step

Setting up the kit takes only a few minutes. The following steps cover the first-time process, and you can repeat the fill steps each time you top up.

• Charge first. Connect the USB-C cable and give the battery a full charge before the first session. This is good practice for any new lithium-ion device.
• Choose your pod. Decide whether to start with the 0.15Ω or the 0.3Ω. For a first session, the 0.3Ω is easier to tune and gentler on e-liquid.
• Fill the pod. Remove the pod from the device, open the silicone plug on the fill port, and fill with e-liquid up to just below the maximum line. Do not overfill, and do not cover the central airflow tube with liquid.
• Close the port. Press the plug back in fully and wipe away any e-liquid from the outside of the pod.
• Wait. Leave the filled pod standing for ten to fifteen minutes so the coil wicks soak completely. This is the step people skip most often.
• Fit the pod. Push the pod into the device until it seats firmly. The screen should show the coil resistance.
• Turn on. Many devices in this class use five quick presses of the fire button to switch on or off, but check the manual for the exact sequence for your unit.
• Set the wattage. Use the buttons to select a figure within the range printed on the coil. Start in the middle.
• Take the first draws gently. Draw slowly without firing for two to three seconds, then fire and take a few short draws to prime the cotton.
• Adjust. Raise or lower the wattage by small steps, and use the airflow control to adjust cloud size and throat feel.

For everyday use, there are a few habits worth keeping. Refill when the e-liquid falls to roughly a third of the pod, not when the pod is empty, since running the coil dry is the quickest way to ruin it. Take draws of about three seconds rather than very long ones, and let a few seconds pass between draws so the wick can refill. Lock the device or turn it off when it is in a pocket or bag to prevent accidental firing.

When you want to change flavour, remove the pod, tip out any remaining liquid, and rinse the outside. Do not run water through the coil. Leave the pod to dry for a short while before you refill it, or simply start with a fresh pod if you want a completely clean taste.

Troubleshooting common Vinci E120 problems

Most issues with pod mods have simple causes. Work through the symptoms below before assuming something is faulty.

• Dry or burnt taste: the cotton is not saturated or the wattage is too high. Let the pod soak for longer, lower the power and check there is enough e-liquid in the pod. A burnt coil that does not recover after a few gentle draws needs replacing.
• Leaking: check that the fill plug is fully seated, that the pod has not been overfilled, and that the pod is fitted straight. Leaks often follow changes in temperature or pressure, such as flying or leaving the device in a hot car. Keep the device upright when you can and wipe the contacts dry.
• Gurgling or spitting: too much condensation in the airway or an over-full pod. Remove the pod, blow gently through the mouthpiece to clear it, and wipe it dry. Opening the airflow a little can also help.
• Coil not detected: the pod is not seated properly or the contacts are dirty. Remove the pod, wipe the contacts with a dry cotton bud, and reseat it firmly. If the message continues with another pod, contact the seller.
• Low vapour: the wattage may be too low, the airflow too closed, or the coil nearly spent. Raise the power in small steps and check the coil age.
• Device will not turn on: charge it for a short while first, as a fully drained battery can take a few minutes to respond. Then try the on/off sequence in the manual.
• Short battery life: high wattage, a cold environment or an old charger can all reduce runtime. Try a lower power setting or the 0.3Ω pod.
• Hot device: if the device becomes noticeably hot while charging or in use, stop, unplug it and let it cool. If it happens repeatedly, stop using it and contact the seller.
• Harsh throat hit: the nicotine strength is probably too high for the power you are using, or the coil is too hot. Lower the wattage, open the airflow or switch to a lower-strength liquid.

If you work through the points above and the problem persists, take a photo or short video of the fault and the screen message, keep your order number to hand, and contact the supplier. A good record of the issue helps get a quick answer on a warranty replacement.

Value for money and how the E120 compares with alternatives

Value depends on how you vape, so the useful way to assess it is cost of ownership, not just the price of the kit. The kit is a one-off purchase that includes a high-capacity battery and a pair of pods. After that, your ongoing costs are e-liquid and replacement pods. Check the current price on the product page, since it can change.

E-liquid use is the biggest running cost. DTL vaping at 40W to 60W uses noticeably more liquid than a 10W device, so a thorough comparison should include how many millilitres you expect to get through each week. Bigger bottles and shortfills with nicotine shots usually work out cheaper per ml than 10ml bottles, if you are comfortable mixing your own.

Compared with disposables, a refillable kit generally costs less over time and avoids the waste of throwing away a battery with every few hundred puffs. Disposables are also no longer legal to sell in the UK, so that comparison is now about what the market offers rather than a real alternative. A pod kit gives you the closest thing to the old convenience, with a reusable battery.

Here is how it stands against other types of device, and where they would suit you better.

• Lower-power pod kits in the 20W to 40W range: cheaper, smaller and easier to use, and a better choice for MTL vapers and beginners. They have less cloud and less battery, though.
• Mid-power pod mods around 80W, such as the Smok Nord 5 class: they sit in a similar niche and are often lighter on the wallet. The E120 offers more headroom at the top end and a larger battery, which matters if you want the 0.15Ω coil to run comfortably.
• Geekvape Aegis Boost family and similar rugged pod mods: these offer water and shock resistance, which the Vinci does not specifically advertise. If you work outdoors or are rough on devices, they deserve a look.
• Box mod with a sub-ohm tank: more power options and bigger tank capacity where it is allowed, but a bulkier setup with more parts to maintain. The E120 is simpler and easier to carry.
• Other Voopoo devices: the brand has both lower-power Vinci and Argus pods and bigger box mods. If you like the PnP X system but want a smaller body, there are siblings with smaller batteries.

Our view is straightforward. The E120 is good value for a DTL vaper who wants a single compact device with plenty of battery and flexible coils. It is poor value for a beginner who will not use the extra power, and for anyone who wants to spend as little as possible on e-liquid. Pick it for what it is built to do, check the current price, and compare it with the alternatives above before you commit.
