Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the VINCI X 70W Pod Kit from Voopoo. The Voopoo VINCI X 70W Pod Kit was supplied for the purpose of this review by Terry from Vapor Shop Direct.

Introduction
Voopoo and Smok seem to be having a tit for tat battle at the moment when it comes to the latest fad, the pod mod. Both manufacturers are coming out with devices so similar and released so close together it's hard to tell which manufacturer as a double agent on it's payroll (probably both lol). This though is pushing both manufacturers to outdo each other which is to our benefit as in my opinion although not perfect the pod mod devices are pretty damn good!
The Vinci X is a cuboid shaped pod mod with screen, fully adjustable wattage and a larger version of the Vinci. Unlike the Vinci we no longer have the draw activated option but the X version accommodates an external 18650 battery increasing both it's top wattage capabilities to 70W and increasing battery life considerably. Featuring the storing of the last 14 day puff data and smart wattage including only allowing adjusting within the coil heads recommended wattage parameters it's no wonder vapers have shown great interest. Coming in 7 colour/design options to suit most tastes, the Voopoo Vinci X is worth a good look!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Vinci X comes in a cardboard box with outer cardboard sleeve and when opened we find the Vinci X with empty pod attached in the top layer. I received the Space Gray version, the colour/design options are Ink, Tealblue, Scarlet, Dazzling Green, Space Gray, Carbon Fiber and Aurora, depending which version 3 sides have either colourful designs or more plain classic finishes such as Carbon Fiber for example.
like with the original Vinci and Smok RPM 40 the form factor reminds me of the Cube X from OBS but the Vinci X is also pretty much the same size as the Cube-X to allow the accommodation of a single 18650 battery. Apart from the bigger size the Vinci X as the same look as the Vinci apart from a slightly protruding face section. Up top we have the protruding pod with 360 degree view of your e-liquid and squared off mouthpiece. If the other versions have the same glossy mirrored finish as the Space Gray version i received then expect a fingerprint magnet but overall the finish seems durable and the build quality is very good.
On the face we have a Black panel which houses a round protruding fire button at the top and vertical navigational rocker towards the bottom, between the fire button and navigational rocker we have a large coloured screen. Finally right at the bottom of the face we have the micro USB port, both sides are plain and on the rear we have some branding. Both sides towards the top we have 3 small slots cutout to allow air to the pod/cartridge and moving to the base we have an old school battery cap with central protruding section for turning. Despite being larger than most pod/AIO devices it's still an ergonomic, portable size and feels a nice weight in the hand although it's size might be an issue for some which part of the attraction of a pod/AIO device is the stealth aspect.

The Pods/Cartridges
The pods are clear and a cube shape with Black squared off mouthpiece, on one side of the pod/cartridge we have a large bung that can be pulled out via the outer edge leaving the bung still attached to the pod/cartridge. The fill port is a nice large size but you need to make sure the pod/cartridge is on it's side then you can fill quickly and absolutely mess free.
Looking at the base of the pod/cartridge with installed coil you can see the large round central positive and negative surround spit in 2 parts (allowing the pod to be fitted 2 different ways). The pod/cartridge has no adjustable airflow but if you look at both sides of the device we have 3 slots cutout each side to allow plenty of air to get to the pod/cartridge which can also be turned 180 degrees to restrict the air but airflow will mostly be dictated by the bore of the coil head.
Also on the base of the pod we have a magnet on each corner as the pod/cartridge is secured in the device via these.

The Coils
The coils as the name PnP would suggest just get press fitted into place and to remove simply pull free, the lower o-ring on the coil head is for the seal to (hopefully) avoid any leaking.
You get 2 coils included neither of which are pre-installed in the included pod/cartridge. You receive the PnP-VM1 0.3ohm coil head recommended between 32-40W and the PnP-WM4 0.6ohm coil head recommended between 20-28W. It does say in the marketing the PnP-VM1 is best suited for freebase and the PnP VM4 for nicotine salts but in my opinion there are better PnP coil options for nicotine salts and i personally would only be using freebase with both supplied coils.
The Vinci X is compatible with all PnP Voopoo coils which includes a couple of MTL options although with the airflow mainly relying on the bore of the coil head for restriction i can't see a tight MTL will be possible with the Vinci X, there is also an RBA coil head available.
With all the compatible coils not allowing the device to go up to it's full 70W capacity then i would imagine more coil options will be on the way!

Fitting The Pod/Cartridge
Looking inside the pods bay we can see the positive and negative Gold plated, spring loaded contacts on a slightly raised central section, we can also see the airflow cutouts both sides on the bay walls. We have a magnet each corner to line up with the magnets on the base of the pod. The pod fits very securely with minimum play and one of the big pros for me is plenty of the pod protrudes giving 360 degree visibility so you can see your juice level at all times.
