Voopoo Vinci X Review by Anise

[Anise]

Opening the box I'm pleased to once again see nothing that can easily be broken. The first layer of the box contains the voopoo vinci X with pod attached and two coils. They are .6 ohms and .3ohms coils. The second layer contains a usb cable, a GENE CHIP card, a warranty card and a user manual.

One side of the Vinci X has buttons and a .97 inch TFT screen. 2 opposing sides have colorful panels and the back says Voopoo descending downwards. The battery compartment is accessed from the bottom and the usb port is also on the bottom.

The biggest difference between the Vinci and Vinci X is the Vinci X has an external 18650 battery. It powers the Vinci X up to 70 watts! Much better than the 40 watts you can get from the Vinci with the internal battery. Its advised that you get an external charger for the battery but if you need to you can charge the battery through the usb cable.

The Voopoo Vinci X comes with many safeguards. Overtime protection, over temperature protection, output over-current protection, overcharge protection, low battery protection, Atomizer short-circuit protection, max power protection and battery anti-reverse protection are the main items protecting your Vinci X.

To put the battery into the mod just flip it over and unscrew the battery compartment. Insert the battery and screw the cap back onto the mod. The Vinci X is compatible with any Voopoo pnp coils. They come in .3, .6, .45, .8, and 1.2 ohms. To install a new coil you simply pull out the pod, insert the coil into the bottom of the pod. Then pull out the silicone plug and fill with liquid. The pod holds 5.5mls of liquid. Try to keep it at least 2/3rds of the way full. Replace the plug and replace the pod into the mod. The mod automatically adjusts the power based on the coil. Let sit at least 5 minutes and you're ready to vape. You can rotate the pod to change the airflow. Depending on coil and airflow you can go between a semi tight mtl vape or a loose airy dl vape. .

To turn the mod on you click the fire button 5 times and 5 times to turn it off. To clear the puff meter press fire and - at the same time. It automatically clears at the end of the day. The puff recorder keeps track of 14 days worth of records. To check any given day press the + and - together. To exit press the fire button. To lock and unlock the Vinci X press the + and fire button together. Entering the clock interface is easy enough. Press the fire button, + and - buttons all at once. Use the fire button to move the cursor and the + and - buttons to change the time up and down. A long press on the fire button saves your time and exits the menu.

The Voopoo Vinci X will give you status notifications when needed. Some of these notifications are: charging, check battery, max power, temperature high, Atomizer short and check atomizer. It uses the GENE.AI chip which supports the intelligent coil matching feature and the 2 week usage record.

Pros: external battery, easy coil change, multiple coils.

Cons: USB cable is medium length, maximum wattage setting determined by the coil you are using. You can't go higher than the wattage determined by the Voopoo Vinci X.

Great review thank you. Did you win this unit?

 

[Anise]

Thanks. I was given the unit by Voopoo to review. Too late to edit it now. I'll make sure to say whether I was given a unit, won it or purchased it in any future reviews. Thank you for noticing that and asking about it.

I would like to think that the vendors looking to promote device X could do a lot worse than give product away to ECF members and have them review them. If you (for instance) review a product, then I have confidence that your opinion is 100% genuine as your loyalties lie with the the ECF membership, and not with some corporation from Shenzhen. It's got to be a relatively cheap option too, what does a google ad on a vaping forum cost?

Thanks for the write up Anise, useful information. I know you can't raise wattage on the drop in coils but can you lower it? Have the rba head in the wishlist as well and have already ordered the dt adapter. Just need to get the device now, lol.

I have the x version and it leaks underneath by the coil and I have a small pool of liquid by the connection. Any ideas why?

 

[Anise]

Thanks. @Letitia you can lower the wattage without problem. You can raise the wattage but only as high as the recommended wattage.

Likely simple condensation from all I've read. If you aren't hitting it regularly this appears to be normal. I have the same problem with bottom air tanks.

Are you making sure you're closing the opening to add liquid? If it's not closed securely it could leak. Otherwise I'm not sure since mine doesn't leak.

No leaks at fill port. Its leaking from underneath where the coil is placed.

Thanks, I'm not generally a fan of preset wattage as they are usually set too high for me. Just wanted to make sure.

No clue then. It might be condensation like Letitia said.

Thanks! I will keep an eye out on it.

 

[stratus.vaping]

That sounds like a very interesting device, thanks for the review.

 

[Anise]

Thanks!

I already bought the Vinci X. Thanks for the good review. So far I like the X very much. Extra batteries and a cheap charger as well.

Concerning leakage, my first pod fill was fine, slight condensation perhaps. On second fill , same pod, there was a puddle.
I picked up in your Vinci review the recommendation of pushing it in hard. Which I did. No leakage since. And I push it once in a while during use.

My thoughts on coil leakage are related to ID bore dimensions of the apparent aluminum insert versus OD size and compression of the o'ring. It's not very tight. In addition, when filling it's creating a weight and pressure from the bottle. So push again hard. I don't have the tools to measure and check the MFG. So can't be sure of this, just speculation.

I worked in plastics and machining in my youth. With very close tolerances. .00005 etc. Someone should check these tolerances if they have an ID bore have, and a vernier or micrometer on the o'ring. As well as the design of the two fits.

The leaking comes from the inner gasket on the bottom of the coil. They have not done a great job of ensuring a proper fit.
You can see in the picture that the center pin is very poorly centered leaving a gap on one side and the o-ring crushed on the other.Additionally, that center pin is really only a tiny top hat shaped piece of metal that is barely pressure fit into that gasket. You can easily pull it out with your fingers. Inside the gasket ring is a little piece of wire that completes the circuit and pinches the gasket down so it doesn't fall out. Between that piece of wire creating a dimple in the rubber gasket, and the center pin being so loose, I believe it is creating a path for the fluid to drip out of.
I'm tempted to put a little drip of solder on that center pin to create upwards pressure to make a better seal, as the pins in the mod are spring loaded so aren't applying any relevant pressure of their own. Ideally, that center pin would be threaded into the base of the pod, or have some kind of crimp so it cant come out.

You've done the research and I believe you are correct, some of the leakage occurs there as well. Good work!

You can raise and lower the wattage how ever you like within the 70 watt limit.

Click the power button "4" times. Your screen changes from Yellow to Blue.
You are now in RBA mode and are free to set the wattage to your hearts delight!

Good catch, I saw it turn blue while clicking, but had no idea what it meant until now.
