Voopoo PnP-X Replacement Coils Pack of 5: check the name before you order

Voopoo PnP-X Replacement Coils Pack of 5 costs £12.95 and contains five replacement heating heads for devices built around the PnP-X fitment. Before anything else about this product is worth discussing, one point needs settling, because it accounts for more returned orders in this category than every other issue combined: PnP-X is not PnP. The names are one character apart, the packaging looks related, and the two are not interchangeable.

If you have arrived here because a search suggested it, go and find your current coil head or the empty box it came in and read the marking on it. If it says PnP-X, this is the listing you want. If it says PnP without the suffix, you want the standard PnP pack instead. That thirty second check is the single most valuable thing on this page.

With that established, what you are buying is straightforward. A coil head holds wicking material and a heating element. The wick soaks up e-liquid, the element turns it into vapour, and the whole assembly wears out with use. It is the only part of a vape kit intended to be consumed and replaced, which is why it is sold in fives. Voopoo's full catalogue, running to roughly forty lines here, sits in the Voopoo collection, and every coil we stock across all brands is listed together in the coils category.

Why two coil families exist with such similar names

Vape manufacturers iterate quickly, and when a coil standard succeeds they tend to extend it rather than abandon it. That is what happened here. Voopoo established the PnP fitment across a wide spread of devices, then introduced a revised version alongside it for newer hardware. Both remain in production, both remain in shops, and both continue to be bought by people who were not told there was a difference.

From a buyer's point of view the practical rules are short.

• The coil family is determined by the device and the pod, never by preference. There is no scenario in which you can choose which family to use.
• The marking on the coil head, or on the pack it arrived in, is authoritative. Product descriptions, videos and forum threads about the wider PnP ecosystem frequently blur the two.
• A coil from the wrong family will either not seat at all or will seat badly and leak. Neither outcome is worth the gamble.

The same care applies to pods. If you also need a fresh chamber, check whether your device takes the pod stocked as PnP Replacement Pods by Voopoo at £5.95 or a different one entirely. Browsing the refillable pods section alongside the coil listing is the safest way to assemble a complete spares order in one go.

A symptom checklist for when the vape goes wrong

Rather than describing coils in the abstract, here is the diagnostic route most problems actually follow. Work down it in order.

Burnt or acrid taste on a brand new coil

The wick was heated before it was fully wet. That damage is permanent, so the coil is finished and the fix is to do the next one properly. Wet the wicking ports directly with liquid, fill the pod, and let it stand several minutes before applying any power.

Burnt taste on a coil you have been using for weeks

Different problem entirely. This one is age. Residue has built up on the element and the coil has reached the end of its working life. Replace it.

Flavour has faded but nothing tastes burnt

Usually the early stage of the same wear process, though it can also be palate fatigue from vaping one flavour for too long. Try a completely different flavour family first, since that costs nothing, then replace the coil if nothing changes.

Gurgling, spitting or liquid reaching your mouth

The chamber is flooded. Common causes are overfilling, drawing too sharply, or a coil that is not seated fully. Remove the pod, dry the coil housing and the device contacts, reseat the coil firmly and take slower draws for a while.

Liquid appearing on the outside of the device

Check the seals on the pod as well as the coil. Coil housings and pod chambers both perish over time, and a new coil in an old pod will still leak if the pod is the part that has given up.

Device does not fire at all

This is rarely the coil. Check charge, then check for liquid across the electrical contacts between pod and body, which is the most common cause by a wide margin. Dry both surfaces with a cotton bud before concluding anything has failed.

The real cost of a coil, measured properly

Five coils for £12.95 is £2.59 each, but that figure on its own tells you very little because coils do not last a fixed length of time. A more useful way to think about it is cost per millilitre of liquid vaped, since a coil's life is governed by how much liquid passes through it rather than by days on a calendar.

Work it out for yourself once and you never need to guess again. Note how many bottles you get through on one coil. If a coil sees you through a set number of 10ml bottles, then £2.59 divided across that volume is your true coil cost per millilitre, and it will usually turn out to be a small fraction of what the liquid itself costs. Coils feel expensive because they are bought in visible lumps. Measured against the liquid they vaporise, they are the minor line item.

What this reframing does is take the pressure off. People stretch coils well past their useful life to save money, then spend weeks vaping something dull and slightly burnt to protect a couple of pounds. Once you can see that the coil is not the expensive part of the setup, changing it at the right moment becomes an easy decision.

Two habits follow. Reorder when you open your last coil rather than when you fit it, and combine coils with liquid or spares in one basket, since free UK delivery starts at £20 and a lone twelve pound order leaves value on the table.

Liquid choice, and the trade you are making

Nothing you do affects coil life as much as what you choose to put through it, so it is worth being honest about the ranking.

• Kindest. Simple menthols and clean single fruits with light sweetening. These leave the least residue and coils in them regularly last the longest.
• Middle ground. Mixed fruit blends and iced fruits. Sweeter than the above, still comfortably manageable.
• Hardest. Desserts, custards, bakery flavours, anything with a syrup or caramel character. These taste excellent and they coat the element quickly. Coil life can fall dramatically compared with a plain fruit.

None of this means you should avoid dessert liquids. It means you should expect to change coils more often when you vape them, and budget accordingly rather than assuming something is wrong with the hardware. Plenty of people run a fruit liquid as their daily driver and keep a dessert for the evening precisely to manage this.

Thickness matters too. Very high VG liquids are formulated for large tanks with wide wicking channels and can struggle to keep up in a compact pod system, producing dry spots even when the pod is nearly full. For a small device, a balanced base is the more sensible pairing, and nicotine salt liquids are generally blended with exactly that use in mind.

One legal point worth restating. In the UK, nicotine e-liquid is capped at 20mg per millilitre and nicotine bottles at 10ml. Those limits apply to everything sold here.

Handling and storage, the part nobody writes about

Coils arrive in sealed packaging for a reason, and how you treat them between purchase and use has a measurable effect.

Leave each head sealed until the moment it goes into the device. Exposed wicking material picks up dust and lint, and cotton that has been sitting loose in a bag pocket is not clean cotton. If you like to carry a spare, carry it in its wrapper rather than loose.

Store spares somewhere dry, stable and out of direct sunlight. A drawer is ideal. A car glovebox in summer is not, and neither is a bathroom shelf where humidity swings all day. Heat and moisture are the two things that degrade the packaging and the contents.

Handle new coils by the body rather than the wicking ports. Squeezing the exposed cotton compacts it, and compacted cotton wicks unevenly, which is a completely avoidable way to get poor performance from a perfectly good part.

Finally, keep coils, liquid and devices well away from children and pets. That applies to used coils too, which retain liquid residue. When a coil is spent it belongs in metal or small electrical recycling rather than the household bin, and most UK council recycling centres will take a collected handful without any difficulty. The broader accessories range covers the other small parts that keep a kit in good order.

The devices behind the coil, and where the money goes

Voopoo build in the mid range rather than the bargain end, and their current pod systems reflect that. The Argus G3 line is listed at £24.99 across its finishes, including Diamond White, Aurora Purple and Diamond Pink. That is roughly double what the cheapest pod kits on the market cost, and the difference shows up in chassis materials, finish and control rather than in anything you can see in a photograph.

Set against a device at that price, a £12.95 pack of coils is a small recurring cost protecting a considerably larger one time cost. Running cheap or counterfeit heads through a well made device to save a couple of pounds a month is a poor trade, and it is a trade a surprising number of people make.

It also pays to think about spares as a set rather than as individual purchases. A coil pack, a spare pod and a bottle of your usual liquid, bought together, means that nothing short of losing the device itself can interrupt your vaping. That is the arrangement most long term owners settle into, and it is cheaper than the alternative of repeated small emergency orders.

Authenticity, dispatch and who may buy

Counterfeit coils are a persistent problem for any successful fitment, and the PnP standard is copied heavily. Fakes are convincing in a photograph and obvious in use: inconsistent resistance between heads in the same pack, poor quality wicking that tastes off from the first draw, and contacts that corrode within days. There is no visual test a customer can apply, so the supply chain is the only real safeguard. Everything on this site comes through legitimate UK distribution.

• Same day dispatch on working day orders confirmed before 4pm.
• Free UK delivery once your order exceeds £20.
• Plain outer packaging that does not advertise its contents.

We sell exclusively to adults aged 18 or over. Age verification is carried out at checkout, we may ask for additional confirmation before releasing a parcel, and any order that cannot be verified is cancelled and refunded in full. Orders that appear to be placed on behalf of a person under 18 are declined. These are products for existing adult smokers and vapers, and nicotine is addictive.

If you take one thing away from this page, make it the first thing rather than the last: check whether your device wants PnP or PnP-X before you order, and the rest of it takes care of itself.

Buying this as a first purchase

First time buying this sort of product? The decisions that matter are simpler than the shelf suggests.

1. Format. A prefilled pod is the no-mess option. Bottled e-liquid costs less per millilitre if you do not mind refilling.
2. Strength. This comes in 0mg. Heavier former smokers usually start high and step down.
3. Flavour. Pick two from different families rather than committing to one.

Get those three right and the rest is detail. The deals page is the cheapest way to try more than one at a time.

Delivery, returns and buying with confidence

The buying side is straightforward. Weekday orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the same day, and UK delivery is free once your basket reaches £20.00. Tracked options are shown at checkout.

Opened consumables are not returnable, which is standard for the category. Anything faulty or wrongly sent is our problem to fix, not yours. This is an 18+ purchase and orders are age-checked before they ship.

Nicotine is addictive. These products are for adult smokers and vapers.

Looking after it, and what goes wrong

The faults people blame on a product are usually storage or priming.

• Prime before the first draw. Click the pod in and leave it a minute. Drawing on a dry wick is what causes that scorched first hit.
• Keep it cool and upright. Heat thins liquid and pushes it through seals, which is why a hot car is the usual cause of a leak.
• Muted flavour is often you, not it. Palate fatigue is common on a single flavour, and rotating to a second profile resets it.
• Store away from children and pets, and recycle spent hardware rather than binning it loose.

These are small habits that pay back in flavour consistency.

Reading puff counts and pack sizes honestly

Every headline figure in this category is generated under ideal conditions. This listing publishes no puff rating, and we will not invent one. That figure comes from laboratory testing with a consistent draw, not from someone using it on a cold morning at a bus stop. Your own total will differ, sometimes considerably.

The arithmetic only makes sense once you know the legal limits. UK rules cap a prefilled pod or tank at 2ml, and nicotine e-liquid bottles at 10ml. A five-figure puff rating therefore describes what a system delivers across all the pods you will work through, not what sits inside one pod on the shelf. Any brand claiming otherwise is describing a product that could not legally be sold here.

Use the number for comparison and nothing else. Comparing two products in the same class is fair. Budgeting your month on the strength of a rating is not. Cost per week, measured once you know your own pace, beats every figure on the box.

Building a rotation instead of buying one thing

Experienced vapers rarely buy one flavour in bulk, and new ones almost always do. Palate fatigue sets in faster than people expect. A profile you loved on day one can taste flat by day ten, not because the product changed but because your palate stopped noticing it.

Rotation solves it entirely. Keep two profiles from genuinely different families on the go, and alternate between them. Something sweet paired with something sharp, or a fruit paired with a menthol, resets the palate each time you switch. Two flavours in rotation will each last noticeably longer than either would alone.

The wider category is the place to find a contrasting profile if this line has no siblings.

Multibuy offers make this cheap to do, and they can be mixed across flavours.

What changed when disposables were banned

It is worth understanding why the products look the way they do. Single-use disposable vapes were banned in the UK, and the market replaced them with rechargeable devices that take replaceable pods. The experience is deliberately similar: prefilled, no measuring, no mess. The difference is that the battery survives the flavour, so you replace a pod for a couple of pounds rather than the whole unit.

On balance it made the category cheaper to live with. A device bought once and fed with pods costs less over a month than a stream of sealed units, and produces far less waste. It also changed how you shop: the decision splits into hardware first, then consumables, rather than being one purchase repeated endlessly.

All stock here is compliant with the current UK framework. That means 2ml pods, 10ml nicotine bottles and a 20mg strength ceiling, with age verification on every order. Rechargeable kits and replacement pods are the two halves of that system if you are still assembling yours.
