The Mod Pod received was in a gunmetal finish with a resin side panel, in a Jade Green finish. (Photo courtesy of Voopoo as I forgot to take one).

Initial impression
The Vinci is in essence a normal Pod system with the battery component at the bottom, and a plastic tank with a wide mouthpiece sitting on top. And this is where the similarity ends. On the front the Vinci has a screen with a power button above and an up/down combination button on the bottom, as is usual to find on a normal mod as we know it. The charging micro USB slot is on the bottom of the device. It is similar in size or a bit bigger than some of the other devices available but sits extremely comfortable in the hand due to the length and the rounded edges, and allowing easy thumb access to both sets of buttons without having to move the device around in your hand. The build quality and finishing is of a very high standard.

Opinion, likes and dislikes
This Mod Pod system has been very well built and finished in my opinion and it should be able to withstand the rigor of normal day to day use, and the look is equally impressive in my opinion. It sits very comfortably in your hand, and the weight is very well balanced compared to the size, and it won’t feel as if you are towing a brick around the whole day. I also really like the colour that I received for testing, but the others are equally impressive. The other colors available are:
I at first tried it with the automatic draw activated system, you can also have both systems active at the same time but then rather chose the manual system where the power button was used to activate and vape. This was mostly as I was not getting it to fire each time while in this mode, but as I battle with bigger mouthpieces in getting a good seal and I am not sure whether this will be the same for other individuals. From there I had no problem whatsoever, it fired immediately and gave a very comfortable vape, and a definite pro regarding it giving you the ability to choose your preferred mode of use.
Battery life was good in my opinion, especially with the 0.8 Ohm MTL coil, and it lasted me the whole day while vaping at between 12 Watt, as suggested when inserting the pod, and pushing it up to 18 Watt. I used the 0.3 Ohm mesh coil at mostly 30 Watt for the DL testing although the Mod suggested 35 Watt on inserting the pod, and battery life was not bad at all, both options used impressed me, but for the DL option here keep a charging station or power bank handy as you’re not going to get a full day of use. Recharging however was done in what felt like a blink of an eye and I was ready to go again.
The fact that this pod system is compatible with the other Voopoo PnP coils gives you a lot more options to find one that works best for you, and the ability to play around with different Wattages was a definite pro. You can customize the experience to suit your preference regarding your type/style of vape or to get a sweet spot with the specific e-liquid you are using. The ability to choose between a quite airy MTL option, while it’s not for someone wanting a very tight draw, or a DL option definitely makes it an excellent multi-purpose tool in any vape arsenal. The overall airflow while vaping in both options was very smooth
The Pod fills from the side by removing a rubber plug, and the hole size is large enough to make this process very easy, and the see through tank makes it easy to see where the juice level is at all times The capacity of 5.5 ml also means that you are not constantly having to refill the whole time, and with both coils consumption was impressive. I used a 60VG/40PG juice to test the 0.8 Ohm MTL coil, and a 70VG/30PG juice for the 0.3 Ohm mesh coil. Even when chain vaping I could not get a dry hit in either modes and I did not feel once that I was missing out on flavour. During the DL option I did notice that when it gets hot, i.e. in a car or pocket on a hot day I tended to end up with quite a bit of e-juice in my mouth, so my preferred use in summer will be MTL, maybe give the DL a go in cooler times.
This is definitely going to become one of my day-to-day carries, both from a comfort, ease of use, consumption and tank capacity as well as a flavour point of view. Add another Pod and you can have 2 setups for convenience with two distinctly different vape experiences.
A sincere thank you to @VOOPOO for supplying the Voopoo Vinci Mod Pod Kit for review and for giving me the opportunity to do a review on it.
