Voopoo Doric 60 Pro, which PnP X coil to fit

The Voopoo Doric 60 Pro has no deck and no screws. It is a tube-shaped pod with a built-in battery and factory coils that press into the cartridge. Even so, the questions it raises belong at the bench. Which resistance should you pick, what power should it run at, and what does it ask of the battery? The box holds two coils, the brand’s catalogue lists seven, and the device tops out at 60 W. Doing the sums is worthwhile.

The Voopoo Doric 60 Pro at a glance, what a coil builder should know

The Voopoo Doric 60 Pro is a tubular pod, 26.1 mm across and 128 mm tall, with a 2500 mAh built-in battery and an output of 5 to 60 W. It accepts resistances from 0.1 to 3.0 Ω and runs on the PnP X coil range. Two come in the box, a pre-installed 0.8 Ω for a tight draw and a 0.3 Ω for a looser one.

Unless stated otherwise, the technical figures in these notes come from Voopoo’s official page for the model. The right-hand column says what each one means for anyone who thinks in ohms and watts.

Manufacturer’s figure	What it means at the bench
5 to 60 W, 0.1 to 3.0 Ω	Every PnP X coil fits, though not always at full power
2500 mAh built-in battery, USB-C charging	No cells to choose, drain depends on the coil fitted
5 ml cartridge, 2 ml in the TPD version	Only the 2 ml version meets UK rules
Top rotary airflow	Draw adjusted independently of the coil
510 drip tip	Your own 510 tip will fit
Locking ring at the base	Fire button locked with a simple twist

In the UK, refillable tanks and pods are limited to 2 ml, so the 2 ml TPD cartridge is the compliant version. The 5 ml figure describes the standard version sold elsewhere.

Which PnP X coil to fit in the Voopoo Doric 60 Pro

Seven PnP X resistances appear in the catalogue, each with its own power range and draw style. The current in the last column is a bench calculation at the top of each range, using Ohm’s law, where current equals the square root of power divided by resistance.

PnP X coil	Draw style	Manufacturer’s range	Current at the top of the range
0.15 Ω	DTL	60 to 80 W	20.0 A at 60 W, the device’s ceiling
0.2 Ω	DTL	40 to 60 W	17.3 A
0.3 Ω	DTL and RDL	32 to 40 W	11.5 A
0.45 Ω	RDL	25 to 32 W	8.4 A
0.6 Ω	MTL and RDL	18 to 23 W	6.2 A
0.8 Ω	MTL	12 to 16 W	4.5 A
1.0 Ω	MTL	10 to 13 W	3.6 A

Two language versions of the same page disagree slightly on the 0.8 Ω, 12 to 15 W on one and 12 to 16 W on the other. With no screen, the device gives you no way to type in a wattage anyway, so these ranges are for comparing coils with each other rather than for setting the device to the watt. The formula is broken down in our coil calculator worked through by hand, which starts from the same relationship between ohms, volts and amps.

The 0.15 Ω, stuck at the bottom of its range

This coil asks for 60 to 80 W, and the Doric 60 Pro stops at 60 W. It will fire, since 0.15 Ω sits inside the accepted range, but it can only ever run at the very start of its window. The 0.2 Ω, rated for 40 to 60 W, keeps its whole range within the device’s limits.

0.8 Ω or 0.3 Ω, what the battery sees

At the top of their ranges, the two supplied coils need the same voltage, around 3.46 V. The difference is current, 4.3 A for the 0.8 Ω at 15 W against 11.5 A for the 0.3 Ω at 40 W, which is 2.7 times as much. For the same length of press, the 2500 mAh battery therefore delivers 2.7 times as much energy with the 0.3 Ω at 40 W. A low resistance is paid for in more frequent charging.

The three modes and the airflow on the Voopoo Doric 60 Pro

The Voopoo Doric 60 Pro is set up without a screen. Everything goes through the fire button and a ring at the top of the device, two controls to combine with the coil you have fitted.

Three presses to change mode

Three quick presses on the button cycle through three modes, shown by the colour of the light. Blue is optimal power, white is maximum power and red is minimum power. No wattage is published for these modes. A builder’s habit still applies, start on red with a fresh coil, then step up one mode if the vapour lacks density.

A top airflow ring, away from the liquid

The rotary airflow sits at the top of the device. That position keeps the air inlets away from the liquid in the cartridge. Turn it one click at a time, starting half open, closing it down for the 0.8 Ω and opening it up for the 0.3 Ω.

Cartridge, e-liquid and nicotine, the limits to know

Voopoo recommends a 50% vegetable glycerine e-liquid for the 0.8 Ω and 50 to 70% for the 0.3 Ω. Richer in glycerine, a liquid gets thicker and feeds the cotton of a tight-draw coil more slowly, which generally explains the gap.

Freebase and nicotine salt e-liquids are listed as suitable up to 35 mg. In the UK, nicotine e-liquid is capped at 20 mg/ml and sold in bottles of no more than 10 ml. The 35 mg figure describes what the hardware can handle, not a liquid you can buy here.

Both PnP X cartridges, one designed for MTL and one for DTL, come in 5 ml and 2 ml versions. The same platform is also used on the brand’s Drag X2, Drag S2 and Argus Pro 2.

Why the Doric 60 Pro cannot be rebuilt

For the Voopoo Doric 60 Pro, the PnP X catalogue holds only factory coils, with no rebuildable base. Builders keep their tools for the rest of their kit.

The brand claims up to 100 ml of e-liquid per coil and a cartridge that stays leak-free for 90 days, thanks to a four-layer seal. Those figures have not been checked here. A very sweet liquid generally gunks up a coil faster than a dry one, whatever the device.

Seven protections round things off, including an automatic cut-off after 5 seconds of continuous firing, short-circuit protection and over-temperature protection.

FAQ

Five questions that owners of this device often ask, alongside the calculations above.

What does the red light on the Doric 60 Pro mean?

When setting the power, red marks the minimum mode described above. Other signals, such as a steady or flashing red, are not detailed by the sources consulted, so the user manual in the box is the reference for those.

Does the Doric 60 Pro have an auto-draw mode?

The documentation describes firing with the button and mentions no auto-draw, which would heat the coil as you inhale. The button therefore remains the only way to fire it.

Can older PnP coils be used?

Only the PnP X range is listed as compatible with this device. No other series is named, so it is safer to stick with PnP X coils.

How do you lock the Doric 60 Pro?

Turn the ring at the base of the device. The fire button is then blocked, which prevents accidental firing in a bag or a pocket.

Does the Doric 60 Pro offer temperature control?

No. Two retailers say so in their technical listings, and the model’s page only describes power settings.

The Voopoo Doric 60 Pro, a pod you read with Ohm’s law

Without a deck or wire to wrap, the device is still a matter of numbers. For a tight draw, the supplied 0.8 Ω is the starting point that asks least of the battery. For a direct lung draw, the 0.2 Ω makes better use of the 60 W ceiling than the 0.15 Ω, which only reaches the bottom of its range. In between, the 0.3 Ω is a compromise, in exchange for 2.7 times the current of the 0.8 Ω.

The Voopoo Doric 60 Pro is a reminder that a pod can be reasoned through with the same figures as a home build. Ohm’s law does not stop at rebuildables, and knowing it helps you read any spec sheet.
