Voopoo PnP Replacement Coils - Pack of 5

The Voopoo PnP Replacement Coils - Pack of 5 give you five fresh atomiser heads for the PnP pod system, one of the most widely used coil platforms in modern pod mods. If your device is starting to taste burnt, flat, or just "off," nine times out of ten the coil is the culprit, and this pack gets you back to clean, full-flavour vaping without buying a whole new pod.

What's in the pack

You get five individually sealed PnP coils, each pre-built and ready to drop straight into a compatible PnP pod. Voopoo's PnP range covers a spread of resistances built for different vaping styles, from tighter, more restrictive draws through to open, airy sub-ohm clouds. If you're replacing a coil you already use, simply match the resistance printed on your current coil or pod to keep your setup consistent. If you're not sure which one you have, check the wattage range printed on the coil itself, this is the most reliable way to identify it, since the PnP lineup has been updated and expanded over the years.

Buying in a pack of five rather than singles works out cheaper per coil and means you're not caught short mid-week when one starts to fade. It's the sensible way to buy for anyone vaping daily.

Most coils in the PnP family use mesh heating elements rather than traditional round wire wicked in cotton wool alone. A mesh coil heats a wider, flatter surface area evenly, which generally means faster ramp-up, smoother vapour production, and a more consistent flavour hit puff after puff compared with older single-coil designs. Some variants within the range use a single mesh strip, while others use double or triple mesh layers for a denser vapour output, the trade-off is usually that the denser builds sip through e-liquid a bit faster, so it's worth matching the coil to how heavily you vape.

Which devices take PnP coils

PnP coils are designed to work with Voopoo devices that use the PnP pod system, this spans a number of Voopoo's pod mods and pod kits released over the past several years, generally sold under the Drag, Vinci, and Argus families among others. Because Voopoo has released multiple coil sub-series within the PnP name over time, the safest way to check compatibility is to look at your existing pod: if it's a PnP pod, or your device's box or manual references "PnP coils," this pack is the right family for you. If you're at all unsure, checking the coil currently fitted in your device against the ones in this pack, matching pin layout and coil shape, is the quickest way to confirm before you buy.

When to replace your coil

Coils are consumable by nature, the wicking material inside them soaks up e-liquid and gets scorched by the heating element every time you vape, and eventually that process stops working cleanly. Common signs it's time to swap in a fresh one include:

• A burnt, dry, or "toasty" taste that wasn't there before
• Flavour that's gone noticeably flatter or muted
• A gurgling or crackling sound from the pod
• Visible discolouration or a sludgy build-up on the coil
• Reduced vapour production even at the same wattage
• Leaking around the base of the pod

How long a coil lasts varies a lot depending on how often you vape, what e-liquid you use, and the wattage you run it at. Sweeter or higher-VG liquids tend to gunk up coils faster than thinner, higher-PG mixes, and heavy daily use will always wear a coil down quicker than occasional vaping. As a rough guide, most people find they're replacing a coil somewhere between one and three weeks, but treat your own taste as the real signal, not a fixed date.

How to fit and prime a PnP coil

Getting a new coil off to a good start makes a real difference to how it performs and how long it lasts. Rushing this step is the number one reason people get a harsh first few puffs and assume the coil is faulty.

• Remove the empty pod from your device and take out the old coil, pulling it straight up and out.
• Insert the new coil firmly into the pod until it clicks or sits flush, it should feel snug, not loose.
• Prime the coil before filling the tank by dripping a few drops of e-liquid directly onto the visible wicking holes or cotton on the coil. This soaks the wick before power ever reaches it.
• Fill the pod with your e-liquid as normal, avoiding the central airflow tube.
• Let it sit for five to ten minutes before vaping. This gives the cotton time to fully absorb the liquid.
• Take a few slow, gentle puffs without firing the device (if your pod system allows this) to draw liquid through before vaping normally.

Skipping the priming step is the most common cause of a burnt-tasting first hit on a brand new coil, the heating element fires before the cotton has had a chance to soak up any liquid, which scorches it instantly and can't be undone.

Getting the best flavour and the longest coil life

A few habits make a noticeable difference to both how good your vape tastes and how long each coil lasts before it needs swapping:

• Keep your pod topped up. Vaping on a nearly empty tank starves the wick and causes dry, burnt hits that damage the coil permanently.
• Stick to the coil's rated wattage range. Running well above the recommended range burns through cotton faster and can scorch the coil prematurely; running too low can leave it under-saturated and muted.
• Avoid rapid, back-to-back puffing. Chain vaping doesn't give the wick time to re-soak between hits, which dries it out faster than normal use.
• Store spare coils somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight, and keep them in their sealed packaging until you're ready to use them.
• Match your e-liquid to your setup. Higher-VG liquids are thicker and can clog finer wicking material more quickly than thinner mixes, so if you notice coils wearing out fast, it's worth checking what you're running them with.

None of this is about babying the coil, it's just giving it the conditions it needs to do its job properly, which in turn means better flavour and fewer coils used per month.

It's also worth paying attention to how your device is set to fire. Devices with adjustable wattage or airflow give you a way to fine-tune the vape once a new coil is in, starting near the lower end of the coil's recommended range and working up gives the wick a chance to settle in rather than being hit with maximum power straight away. If your device auto-detects the coil and sets wattage for you, that's one less thing to think about, but it's still worth keeping airflow reasonably open on denser mesh builds so the coil isn't working harder than it needs to.

A note on compliance

Vaping devices and coils are accessories rather than nicotine-containing products themselves, but they're sold as part of a wider category that's tightly regulated in the UK. All vaping products on this site are intended for adults aged 18 and over only, and age verification applies at checkout. If you're using these coils with nicotine-containing e-liquid, remember that UK nicotine salt e-liquids are capped at 20mg/ml under TPD rules, always check the strength on your e-liquid bottle separately, as it isn't something these coils affect.

FAQ

How often should I replace a PnP coil?

There's no fixed rule, it depends on how much you vape and what e-liquid you use. Most people find one to three weeks is typical, but the real test is taste: once flavour starts to dull or turn burnt, it's time to swap.

Do I need to prime a PnP coil before using it?

Yes. Dripping a small amount of e-liquid onto the wicking holes and letting the coil sit for several minutes before vaping prevents dry hits and helps the coil last longer from the start.

Will these coils fit any Voopoo device?

They're built for the PnP pod system specifically, not every Voopoo device. Check that your pod or device references PnP coils, or compare the shape and pin layout against your current coil, before buying.

Can I dry burn a PnP coil to clean it?

This isn't recommended for mesh-style coils like those used in the PnP system. Dry firing an unsaturated coil can damage the mesh and shorten its lifespan rather than extend it, it's better to simply replace the coil once flavour drops off.

Why does my new coil taste burnt straight away?

This almost always means it wasn't primed properly, or wasn't given enough time to soak before use. Refill the pod, let it rest for several minutes, and try again before assuming the coil is faulty.

Can I reuse a coil after cleaning it?

Rinsing a coil in cool water and letting it dry fully can sometimes revive a coil affected by a flavour change (such as switching e-liquids), but it won't restore a coil that's genuinely burnt out. Coils are a consumable part, not a permanent one.
