Good evening random folks. I got mom to her dental surgery and back home again. She had all of her teeth yanked and will eventually get implants. I'm just chilling right now. I have religious ed tonight. I got a huge class, 15 very noisy 6th graders. Not bad kids, but loud.
Good evening, Terri :) Enjoy your class.

Good afternoon Folks............ :greengrin:

Busy day today. Got a call last night asking if I would run the grief support group today at the senior center. The gal who normally runs it is a longtime friend and psychologist. She specializes in grief, trauma, PTSD and sexual abuse. We've known her since high school, was one of my wife's best friends. We helped each other, big time, after my wife passed away.

She had a last minute conference in NYC, so it was either me, or cancelling the group for the day. She sent me her planned outline for the day (Unexpected Surges of Grief). This was my sixth time running the group. I picked up a box of donuts at the bakery for the folks.

Usually there are between 3-6 people there. Today there was 11. Four new people, each with very fresh grief experiences. Whenever new people come it's customary to help them feel at ease in the group setting and to encourage them to share their experiences.

Some speak. Some get pretty emotional (to be expected). Others just aren't at a point where they feel comfortable speaking yet (fully understandable). Everyone is different.

Today all four new folks spoke. The normally allotted group time of 1 1/2 - 2 hours flew by quickly. I extended the group for another hour and a half. We never got to the planned outline (not unusual). Everyone had much to say today.

Being the one leading the group is very different than being one of its participants (my usual place). With seven, plus four new people, I was kind of nervous (yup!). But those butterflies flew away once I got things going. I am no expert with grief. Have, like many, experienced much in my own life. It's more about listening and keeping things on-topic when running the group. Several in the group suggest coping strategies. I offer what has worked for me.

Listening to peoples stories and their experiences is truly humbling. People experience all sorts of feelings (both physical and mental) after losing a loved one. Everyone deals with grief differently.

When I got home I called my friend in NYC to tell her how group went. Told her I totally did not expect 11 people. She laughed and said "welcome to my world". She's taking me to a favorite vegan place when she returns.

Anyhow, so now I'm just enjoying a vape and a cup of decaf tea.

Sitting in beautiful silence. Simply Being.
Good evening, SMT:) I'm sitting in beautiful silence also.

Good morning random folks. I got my bottles washed, with Misty's help. I discovered that by using the sink in the utility room, she is able to jump up onto the washer and dryer. Not only was that annoying while I was washing the bottles, it gives her access to cleaning supplies that I keep on a high shelf above the washer and dryer. I also dont need her jumping on the counter when I have open containers of nicotine. I've ordered a pet gate for the utility room and I will wait until it arrives to do my mixing marathon. I'm low on vg and have that ordered. I'll just have to mix up one bottle at a time until then.
Good afternoon, Terri.:)

VooPoo Drag S3 - Review by Ben28


Drag S3
VooPoo brings us two new devices that are quite interesting and packed with good features. In this case, the review will focus on the new Drag S3. A POD-Mod style device that incorporates a 3000mAh internal battery and, most certainly, the great PNP X coils, which, as we already know, deliver incredible performance.

This review is possible thanks to VooPoo; you can visit their page to learn more about them and the new Drag S3.

Packaging
WhatsApp Image 2025-11-19 at 17.22.00.jpeg

The product comes in a rectangular cardboard box, which, as we saw in a previous review, has changed in terms of its colors and aesthetics. In this case, it combines yellow with black typography. At the top, we find the VooPoo branding, and in the center, we are treated to an image of the device, which in this case matches the color of the unit.

Personally, I find it to be quite an attractive and aesthetic packaging, which combines good colors and is quite complete.

WhatsApp Image 2025-11-19 at 17.22.00 (1).jpeg
On the back, we find the box contents, some contact addresses, some logos, and warnings. Additionally, it can be seen that this is a sample, so the final product could vary slightly.

Inside the box, we find;
1* Drag S3 Device
1* PNP X Cartridge MTL 5mL
1* PNP X 0.6Ω
1* PNP X 0.8Ω
1* Type-C Cable
1* User Manual

Device
WhatsApp Image 2025-11-19 at 17.22.00 (2).jpeg
From this perspective, we can get a general overview of the Drag S3. In this case, my edition is the Spray Black. It is crafted entirely from a Zinc alloy, although in other cases and colorways, this alloy is combined with leather on the grip section.

From the front, we can see the button, which features a small mountain imprint and "Everest Lab." It has relatively short travel and is quite clicky. The button introduces a quite interesting feature: the device can be locked and unlocked directly through it.

Let me explain: there is a mode that detects when we place our finger on the button and unlocks it; as soon as it senses we remove our finger, it locks. Honestly, it works quite well. I’ve tested it with other objects and carried it in my pocket as well; it hasn't given me any issues and only activates with a finger.

If we look further down, we find the screen, which we will discuss in more depth in the next image, along with the modes and configuration options. Near the very bottom, we find the power up and down buttons, which also serve to navigate the settings menu. They also have a very pleasant tactile feel and short travel.

Finally, we find the charging port, in this case, Type-C with 5V/2A charging—meaning fast charging, which is necessary to charge the 3000mAh battery quickly and effectively.

WhatsApp Image 2025-11-19 at 17.22.00 (3).jpeg


Here I show you the screen and its main information;




  • Battery percentage
  • Lock icon
  • Vaping mode
  • Power indicator
  • Puff counter
  • Coil resistance
The screen displays sufficiently complete information and also features 3 different UI themes, as well as 3 different animations that correspond to each UI.

Let's move on to the vaping modes and menu settings;

  • 5 Clicks to turn the device off or on.
  • 3 Clicks to access the settings menu, and we navigate through it with the power up and down buttons.
  • From the menu, we can access the vaping modes: SMART, RBA, ECO. SMART mode selects a suitable power range for the coil, RBA mode allows us to choose any value ourselves, and in ECO mode, a considerable power reduction is noticeable.
  • From the menu, we can also access the choice of UI themes and the activation or deactivation of animations.
  • We can also access the lock modes, which are divided into Touch Lock, Button Lock, and fully Unlocked.
  • Finally, we can clear the puff counter and reset it.

Here I show you the airflow intake, although it isn't entirely visible in the image. It consists of three small holes on each side, as this is the MTL cartridge. To close or open it, we simply have to rotate the top ring. One thing I don't like is that to rotate the ring, we have to hold the cartridge firmly; otherwise, the entire assembly spins instead of the ring, which is what we need to move to regulate the airflow.

Apart from that, it is a very well-designed MTL cartridge. It filters the air great, and the drip tip complements it perfectly, in addition to being extremely comfortable in the mouth. Something I would have liked is a much more pronounced hit, because even though it is MTL, it isn't very noticeable even when closing the airflow.

WhatsApp Image 2025-11-19 at 17.22.01.jpeg

To refill it, we simply need to open the silicone tab, and we can fill it with up to 5mL of our preferred liquid. For this atomizer, VooPoo recommends liquids with <= 20mg/mL. Personally, I recommend it for salts or freebase liquids with a high nicotine percentage, as the throat hit is barely noticeable.

Vaping Time
The moment has come for the vaping test. To start, I will share some of my conclusions regarding the hand feel. The device is relatively heavy, although it is also actually really comfortable. It feels like a robust device that will stand the test of time, although I don't know if the part that imitates a sort of "carbon fiber" will last very long. The button position is really good and very comfortable, as is its feel during use. In general, the hand feel is really good.

Regarding the vaping, my conclusions about both coils are really similar; the only difference is that the 0.8Ω one is slightly more restricted than the other. Both provide very good flavor, not at the level of an RDA in my opinion, but indeed a really good flavor. Vapor production, being MTL, is not very considerable, but I am sure it has the capacity to release big vapor clouds with the other cartridge and a more powerful coil.

The battery life is very good, especially in combination with this MTL cartridge which doesn't exceed 23W with the 0.6Ω coil. You can really tell it is a 3000mAh battery, and charging is relatively fast, approximately an hour and a half.

It is a really good device; the airflow regulation is excellent, the flavor is good, and it is quite versatile, plus the hand feel and the construction of the device are great. However, will this be worth it over its big brother, the Drag X3? I will soon review that device as well and answer this question.

Kumiho THOTH Q Pro Pod by Infinium

uYfIvSu.png


Kumiho Thoth Q Pro, a pod that marks a substantial novelty compared to the other pods in the brand's vast fox family and already adopted by the regular Q. Thoth Q Pro provided by HealthCabin as a gift, with no working relationship or monetary compensation.
While common pods are usually composed of a battery body and a cartridge, on the Kumiho Thoth Q Pro, the battery pack can be removed so that it can be replaced with another one, avoiding downtime for charging. Compatibility with the entire family of Thoth cartridges and pod + coil is confirmed.

wVclLnU.jpeg


Packaging is unchanged with the orange color recalling the fox logo/mascot chosen by Kumiho. Inside the Thoth Q Pro, there is the battery body and device body/screen plus one cartridge (non-replaceable pod + coil) of 0.6 ohm and the instruction manual.

dW3RoqZ.jpeg


The Thoth Q Pro is made of aluminum alloy, measuring 17.5×31×107 mm and an assembled weight (including the battery body and device/screen body and its Thoth series pod) of 78 grams. The interchangeable battery body has a capacity of 1300 mAh, output up to 35 watts, adjustable airflow via a slider, and activation both via the fire button and automatic draw.

wOwCZqh.jpeg


The 0.6 ohm Thoth cartridge has a 2 ml capacity in gray PCTG with a glossy finish that makes liquid level checking easy, but on HealthCabin there are many other models to choose from, such as the transparent one. I clarify that only one is present in the package; I used a second cartridge for simple illustrative purposes to show the front / back.

vFQHHIF.jpeg


The refill is simple: remove the rubber plug (wide hole, compatible with chubby tips). The pod is held firmly by magnets and connected via gold-plated pins. The connection with the Thoth Q Pro body is ensured by powerful magnets, which guarantee an effective hold.

EBfytjP.jpeg


1.2 ohm (10/12 Watts)
1.0 ohm (12/15 Watts)
0.8 ohm (16/20 Watts)
0.6 ohm (20/25 Watts) (included in the package)
0.4 ohm (25/35 Watts)

lUQinRI.jpeg


These are the ohm values of the coils and cartridges available for all Thoth pods, all with a mesh-shaped section. The 1300 mAh battery of the Thoth Q Pro efficiently manages the 0.6 ohm cartridge, which I used at the minimum recommended wattage (20 watts) using a 60 VG and 40 PG liquid without any leaking problems. Dense vapor, good aromatic yield.

ihRiSLF.jpeg


The slot for the Thoth Pods is carved out of the pod's shell and covers 50% of the cartridge body. Present in the slot are the contact pins for the reading, the two magnets that ensure the hold, and the automatic draw sensor, but there is also the fire button activation.

7eZhQEy.jpeg


On the back, there is a slider to adjust the airflow as desired with the usual 3 holes like on many other pods produced by Kumiho. You can get anything from an MTL draw to an almost RDL draw, which adapts well to all Thoth cartridges. Laterally on the battery body, there is the USB Type C port for recharging the 1300 mAh battery.

cvaEEow.jpeg


On one of the sides, there is the only button present on the Thoth Q Pro, and it serves for navigation and, if desired, also functions as a fire button for activation, which is very rare for a pod's positioning. It protrudes enough from the shell of the Thoth Q Pro, but if you are right-handed, it is really comfortable to press while vaping.

K4xO1sr.jpeg


The interchangeable battery body can be swapped at any time and has a capacity of 1300 mAh, in line with other pods of this size designed for MTL and RDL vaping, but carrying a second battery body doubles the autonomy and eliminates charging downtime. The contact with the body occurs in the same way as the cartridges, via magnets, although some care must be taken not to accidentally detach it. Recharging, as seen in a previous photo, occurs via the USB Type-C port located on one of the sides.

j6zkHpA.jpeg


On the front side, there is a 1.44-inch color screen, about 50% larger than the average box mod screen, and it is the main difference with the "regular" Thoth Q model. Excellent sharpness, considering the strong artificial light I use for the photos.

HtMNkBD.jpeg


The circuit installed on the Thoth Q is similar to that of the latest Kumiho releases. The main screen shows the output from 6 to 35 watts with 1 watt increment per click, a 4-digit puff counter, the battery charge percentage, the coil's ohm value, and the selected firing mode. To navigate:

5 clicks to enter the menu with a choice between 3 options: on/off, puff reset, and fire button lock/unlock
3 clicks to unlock the wattage selection 2 clicks to change the firing mode

The three firing modes are called Super, Normal, and Eco, and it is easy to guess that they vary the intensity of the selected output. Firing cutoff occurs after 8 seconds of puff, in addition to all protections such as short circuit and coil not read.

nXaeFwn.jpeg


I have been trying Kumiho products for a year now and I was pleased to see that they maintain the same cartridges and coils so you don't have to continuously buy new pods. At the same time, the design and functions of Kumiho products have undergone increasing innovations, arriving at large color screens and the possibility of changing the battery body with this new Thoth Q Pro to significantly extend autonomy while always maintaining dimensions in line with other products with non-removable batteries.

Kumiho Thoth Q Pro Pod is available on HealthCabin https://www.healthcabin.net/kumiho-thoth-q-pro-pod-system-kit-p/30470.html with the possibility of entering the code "BF15" at checkout from November 17 to 30 to receive a 15% discount on other items for sale.

I would like to thank the staff and community of e-cigarette forum for the space, and HealthCabin for providing me with the Thoth Q Pro for review.

VooPoo Argus P3 - Review by AsComaDIM

VooPoo Argus P3 - Review by AsComaDIM

1.jpg


Hello fellow vapers,

Today I’m back with a review many Argus series pod fans have been waiting for. We’re taking a closer look at VooPoo’s newest addition to the Argus Pod lineup, the ARGUS P3. This little device seems to pack serious power and tech into a truly pocket sized body. Before we dive in, I’d like to thank VooPoo for their continued support of the community. After using the device for about three weeks, I’ve put together a detailed hands on review.

If you’re ready, let’s jump right in.
2.jpg


What’s in the Box:

1× Argus P3 Device
1× Argus SNAP Cartridge 0.4Ω (2mL)
1× Argus SNAP Cartridge 0.7Ω (2mL)
1× Type-C Cable
1× User Manual
1× Argus Pod Compatibility Card
1× Quick Start Guide
3.jpg


Specifications:

4.jpg


Available Colors:

5.jpg



Design & Build Quality:

ARGUS P3 comes in two body options:
Zinc Alloy + Leather (classic VooPoo style)
Full Metal Body (semi-transparent, mechanical style – limited edition)

You’re holding a tiny stylish smart pod in your hands thanks to its compact Mini BOX design. Fans of mini box style pods will absolutely enjoy this one. It’s so small that it fits right into the coin/lighter pocket of jeans. And for those who were annoyed by the Argus G3 constantly tipping over when stood upright, this one finally stands on a desk without falling. I personally love mini box style pods, and this is exactly that.

Screen & User Interface:

The 2.01" TFT HD touchscreen is one of the largest displays we’ve seen on a device this size. The touch response is excellent. I absolutely loved the watch faces, they look premium and stylish (I’ll showcase them below).

Through the screen, you can easily adjust:

Brightness, language, clock settings
18 different watch faces
Party/SOS lighting mode (still not sure what this is useful for)
Detailed daily/weekly/monthly/6-month usage stats
Wattage adjustment & personal profiles

The full touch interface genuinely makes it feel like a tiny smart device. There are 18 watch faces available; the first 3 come unlocked, while the rest gradually unlock as your puff count increases. I hit the full 6000 puffs pretty quickly, occupational hazard of being a heavy vaper, I guess.​

8.jpg


Cartridge & Vapor Performance:

Along with this device, VooPoo released a new cartridge: the ARGUS SNAP, powered by the latest iCOSM CODE 2.0 tech. It features a top-fill mechanism, simply remove the mouthpiece to fill. There’s a silicone piece inside the cap acting as anti-leak reinforcement, and even when the device is laid sideways, it doesn’t leak.

One issue we used to face with the Top Fill V2 pods, liquid pooling on one side and not flowing to the other is mostly fixed here. If you fill slowly, it distributes evenly. For thicker liquids, just tilt the pod slightly and it flows to the other side easily.

The 2 mL 0.4Ω & 0.7Ω options support both light RDL and proper MTL. Of course, P3 is compatible with all Argus pod cartridges, including Top Fill V2 cartridges and empty Argus cartridges with ITO coils. To be honest, the only downside for me is that these SNAP cartridges hold only 2 mL. I prefer bigger capacity, and my daily setup almost always uses 3 mL Top Fill V2 pods. If these were 3 mL, I’d switch instantly. Still, they look fantastic on such a tiny device.
6.jpg


A quick refresher on iCOSM CODE 2.0:
30-day leak resistance guarantee
Coil longevity up to 100 mL of e-liquid

Customization & User Experience:

Now to one of my favorite features:
The device offers 5–30W power and comes with a Curve (DIY) mode that lets you create a 5 second custom power curve in 0.2 second increments. You can save 3 different profiles, great if you frequently switch resistances.

Swipe left and you’ll see:

NOR – regular wattage mode
DIY – power curve mode with 3 profile slots

I personally don’t use the 0.4Ω cartridge, so I created profiles for 0.7Ω and 1.0Ω and left the third empty. Using a full curve mode on such a tiny pod was surprisingly fun and refreshing.
7.jpg


Swipe up and you’ll find:
Animation settings
Screen timeout (5s, 15s, 30s, 1m, 5m, 10m, 15m)
Time settings
Language
Light LAB: Party mode & SOS mode
Clear Records
Info
Power Off

Additional features:

Child Lock (3 fast clicks; blocks firing but menu stays accessible)
ECO Mode for power saving
Quick toggles for brightness and always-on display

Swipe right to access detailed vape statistics:
Daily, weekly, monthly, and 6-month puff count, puff duration, average wattage, and more.
Puffs reset automatically at midnight unless manually cleared.

This depth of statistical tracking honestly surprised me. I even accidentally wiped all my data the other day and was devastated.
9.jpg


Battery & Charging:

Despite its small size, the 1500 mAh battery supports 5V/2A fast charging, reaching 100% in around 40 minutes. The battery life is impressive for such a tiny device. I haven’t noticed any performance drop-off at low battery either.

Pros:

Full touchscreen interface
Very small and compact mini-box design
Smart power + customizable power curve
Leak-free cartridge system
Broad pod compatibility
Effective airflow control
Stylish watch faces
Extremely detailed usage statistics

Cons:

The only thing that disappointed me: no lanyard in the box. I use my Argus P3 with my Argus G3's lanyard all day long and would’ve loved one included here.​

11.jpg


Conclusion:

ARGUS P3 is a beautifully designed mini box pod with a responsive touchscreen, premium build, and a leak-proof SNAP pod system. Smart power makes it beginner friendly, while the curve mode offers enough customization to satisfy experienced users as well.

If you’re looking for a pod system that’s both elegant and feature packed, ARGUS P3 deserves a spot on your list. VooPoo really nailed the chipset experience with this one.

What are your thoughts on the Argus P3?
If I missed anything or if you have questions, feel free to ask.

For more details, you can visit the official VooPoo website.

Wishing everyone smooth clouds and happy vaping.​
