The VINCI 3 is VOOPOO’s latest pod system, blending features of pod systems and box mods. It offers a 5-50W adjustable output, a 4 mL pod capacity, and fully adjustable airflow. Powered by a 1800 mAh internal battery, it uses versatile PnP coils, providing plenty of options for vapers.
The VINCI 3 is a rectangular pod system with a solid metal frame, plastic decorative panels, and a rubberized base for stability. It’s slightly larger due to its 1800 mAh battery but remains pocket-friendly and durable. The airflow slider allows precise adjustment from MTL to DL vaping. It features a clear 4 mL pod for easy juice monitoring, a 0.69-inch black-and-white screen displaying essential info, and comes in five colors. Sleek, well-designed, and robust, it offers excellent usability and style.

Performance
PnP Coil Compatibility: Supports the full range of VOOPOO’s PnP coils, from 10W MTL to 40+W DL, including an RBA option (though small and challenging to build).
Included Coils:
PnP-TW30 (0.3Ω): Best at ~30W for DL vaping; flavor and coil life are average.
PnP-DW60 (0.6Ω): Best at 17W for loose MTL with high-nic salts; great flavor and excellent coil life (20+ mL).
Performance: The 0.6Ω coil excels for MTL vaping, while the 0.3Ω coil is less impressive for DL use.
Airflow Adjustability: “Mobius” airflow allows precise control from MTL to DL, enhancing versatility.
Battery life and charging
The VINCI 3 features an internal 1800 mAh battery, with a tested usable capacity of 1700 mAh, which is impressive for its rating. It charges via a USB-C port located on the side, allowing the device to stand upright during charging. The charge rate peaks at 1.11A, with a full charge taking approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes due to the large battery size.
While this is longer than most pods, it’s reasonable given the battery’s capacity. When paired with the lower wattage coil, the device easily lasts all day. However, it lacks passthrough vaping, which is a notable omission for a pod system.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Cons

CONCLUSION
The VINCI 3 offers excellent design and performance, particularly with the 0.6-ohm coil for a standout loose MTL experience. It’s ideal for MTL vapers seeking long battery life, larger pod capacity, and adjustable airflow. However, it’s less suited for full DL vaping, performing better as a secondary RDL device.
