Doric 60 Pro, which coil suits a classic e-liquid

A 60 W tube pod is not the first kit that comes to mind for a classic blond. Yet the Doric 60 Pro from Voopoo takes seven different coils, from the tightest to the airiest, and that choice decides how a classic comes across. Between a dry blond and a vanilla brown, the setting gap is real, and the pod in the box only covers part of those needs.

The Doric 60 Pro suits classics, provided you pick the right coil

The Doric 60 Pro is a Voopoo tube pod with a built-in 2500 mAh battery, adjustable from 5 to 60 W and fitted with PnP X pods. It can carry a classic e-liquid, but not with just any head. For a dry or smooth classic in 70/30 (70 per cent propylene glycol, 30 per cent vegetable glycerine), the 0.8 ohm PnP X coil fitted at the factory, or the 1.0 ohm sold separately, gives the tight draw these liquids need. The 0.3 ohm in the box is aimed at an airy, powerful vape and suits dessert-style classics in 50/50 better.

The second setting is the airflow. In its review, Vaping Post finds the airflow better suited to direct lung than to mouth-to-lung vaping, and notes that a tight draw means seriously restricting the opening. With a classic, the top ring therefore sits almost closed.

What the Doric 60 Pro spec sheet says

Before pairing a liquid, it helps to know what the maker declares. The figures below come from the official Voopoo page, cross-checked against two published reviews.

The tube and its battery

The Doric 60 Pro measures 26.1 mm across and 128 mm long. Its built-in 2500 mAh battery charges over USB-C and drives a range of 5 to 60 W, for coils from 0.1 to 3.0 ohms. Both Aromes et Liquides and Vaping Post give a weight of 102 g.

Firing is by button only, with no auto-draw. Three quick presses on that button open three preset power levels, set within the range of the fitted coil. A dial underneath the device locks the button.

The PnP X pod and its capacity

The PnP X pod comes in two versions, MTL and DTL. Voopoo lists 5 ml for the standard version and 2 ml for the TPD version, and the 2 ml pod is the one that matches the UK limit on refillable tanks.

The kit contains two coils, a 0.8 ohm already fitted and a 0.3 ohm, plus two drip tips. The tip meant for a tight draw is a standard 510, so it can be swapped for a narrower one.

Which Doric 60 Pro coil for which classic

Voopoo publishes a wattage range for every compatible PnP X head. Set against the classic families, that grid gives a clear starting point.

PnP X coil	Stated draw	Voopoo range	Best suited classic
1.0 ohm	MTL	10 to 13 W	dry blond in 70/30
0.8 ohm	MTL	12 to 16 W	dry or smooth blond in 70/30
0.6 ohm	MTL and RDL	18 to 23 W	vanilla or nutty classic
0.45 ohm	RDL	25 to 32 W	dessert-style classic in 50/50
0.3 ohm	DTL and RDL	32 to 40 W	dessert-style classic in 50/50, open draw

Dry blonds, on 0.8 or 1.0 ohm

A dry classic relies on a clean finish with no sweet roundness. A low-wattage coil keeps that edge, whereas a hotter head risks rounding the profile off. The 1.0 ohm, which is not in the box, gives the tightest draw in the range.

That is the ground for a liquid such as Jolie Blonde from Liquideo, built for a tight draw. With this kind of recipe, it is best to start at the low level of the range and only step up if the flavour feels flat.

Vanilla and nutty classics, on 0.6 ohm

The 0.6 ohm head accepts both styles, MTL and RDL. It lets through a little more air and heat, which brings forward the base note of a vanilla classic or a recipe lifted with hazelnut.

A blond rounded off by vanilla, like Alfaliquid Gold, finds a balance there between precision and roundness.

Dessert-style classics, on 0.45 or 0.3 ohm

The two lowest heads are built for restricted direct lung or direct lung vaping. They call for a liquid richer in vegetable glycerine, 50/50 in the logic of classics, and they run hotter. A dry blond generally loses the crispness of its finish on them.

Setting the Doric 60 Pro airflow for a tight draw

The airflow is set by the rotating ring at the top of the pod. As Vaping Post points out, its travel favours direct lung, and a mouth-to-lung draw only appears when the opening is almost fully closed.

Three steps help bring the draw back to a tight setting.

Close the ring until you feel clear resistance on the draw, then open it again in small steps.
Keep the narrow tip supplied for a tight draw, or fit a slimmer 510 tip.
Stay on an MTL head, 1.0, 0.8 or 0.6 ohm, the only ones Voopoo lists for a tight draw.

Ratio and care with a classic

In its user guide for the Doric 60 Pro, the retailer Evaps advises e-liquids with no more than 50 per cent vegetable glycerine. Classics sold in 70/30 or 50/50 both fit that limit, and in the UK nicotine strength is capped at 20 mg/ml, in bottles of no more than 10 ml.

The 70/30 ratio remains the natural partner of MTL heads, and 50/50 the partner of lower ones. The Alfaliquid FR4 review explains how one classic behaves depending on its ratio and kit.

On the first fill, the same guide recommends leaving the pod to rest for more than five minutes so the cotton can soak. A sweet, vanilla or dessert-style classic generally gums up the coil faster than a dry blond, which shows as a flavour that slowly dulls.

The spec sheet detail that catches people out

The official list of compatible heads includes a 0.15 ohm, rated for 60 to 80 W. Yet the Doric 60 Pro tops out at 60 W. That coil starts exactly where the device stops, and the review published by E-fumeur rates it as not compatible.

For a classic lover, the question hardly arises. It simply shows that a range-wide compatibility list is not a sign-off for every device, and that the wattage range is worth reading before buying a head.

FAQ

The questions that come up when pairing this tube pod with a classic e-liquid.

Does the Doric 60 Pro fire on the draw?

No. It fires by button only, which the E-fumeur review regrets. Five presses switch the device on or off, and three presses open the power selection.

Can you use the DTL pod with a dry blond?

It works technically, but it makes little sense. The DTL pod takes the low heads and the open draw, which suit the clean finish of a dry classic poorly.

Do you need to change the drip tip for a classic?

The narrow tip in the box is designed for that tight draw. Because it is a standard 510, it can be replaced with a slimmer model if the draw stays too open.

Does the TPD kit include the same coils?

Yes. According to Voopoo, the TPD kit brings together the 2 ml pod, the 0.8 ohm already fitted and the 0.3 ohm. A 1.0 or 0.6 ohm head has to be bought separately, after checking for the PnP X marking on the pack.

Does a nic salt classic suit the Doric 60 Pro?

Yes, on the 1.0 or 0.8 ohm MTL heads set between 10 and 16 W, the tight-draw territory salts are designed for. The lower heads vaporise more liquid and pair better with a low strength.

Doric 60 Pro and classics, the setting that makes the difference

The Doric 60 Pro was not designed with classics in mind first, but its range of PnP X coils lets it serve them well. The 0.8 or 1.0 ohm, an airflow almost closed and a 70/30 form the base for a dry blond. Lower heads and 50/50 suit rounder recipes better. With these pointers, the Doric 60 Pro becomes a versatile tube, to be set by classic family rather than by maximum wattage.
