Argus GT

[hittman]

After reading bigbob's review on the Argus Gt, it really peaked my interest. I did order one and received it yesterday. I have to say that I love how it's packaged in a nice case but more so I love the size and how it's so lightweight. I am starting with the .2 pnp coil and it took a little bit to break in but I'm getting really good flavor from it. Well done Voopoo. It's a very nice kit!

A little feedback. I’m consistently getting leaking from the coil on the pnp tank that came with it and a spare tank I ordered. I’ve tried the .2 and .15 coils. Both are leaking into the base. Any suggestions?

 

[hittman]

@VOOPOO_Thea , do you have any suggestions? I bought four of the Argus GT kits and four extra pnp tanks as well as several boxes of .2 and .15 coils. I'm hoping that perhaps there is something that I'm doing wrong or that there might be a way to stop these from leaking. I have only tried one kit and two tanks so far with one each of the coils.

It might be a bad seal on the coil did you try more than 1?
I have 3 Argus kits, 3 Drag X & 3 Vinci X I had no leak at all some condensation on the drag & vinci but no leak.

I have tried one .15 and one .2 coil so far. The .2 came with the kit and the .15 was from a box of spares I bought. I have a pnp rta on the way also. A friend here on ECF did a review on the Argus Gt and loved it which is what triggered me to buy them. With as many tanks as I have, I'll be disappointed if I can't figure out why I'm getting the leaking.

I 2nd him I like it as well & it performs very well.

Try another coil or may be another pod hope all works fine for you, speaking of coils they have a variety of them my personal favorite is the 0.45 VM3 comes next the 0.3

After the one that came with it leaking, I opened one of my spare tanks and had some leaking with it too. I'll check in the morning after using it tonight and see if there's any leaking. I thought at first that maybe I wasn't pushing the coils in far enough but they won't push in any farther than what they already are. I could see getting a little leaking if I had been using the coil for a couple weeks but it was only after a couple days.

One last question what's your VG/PG ratio? mine is 70/30

That’s what I make all mine in also.

@hittman any updates?

Might sound silly but I pulled the tank, twisted the coil and put it back in place when I got home and it's dry now. I've probably used around 2ml out of the tank so far. Hopefully it was just a fluke.

 

[Gallant]

Good to hear!

 

[Gallant]

& down the road if you looking for other options than the 0.15 & 0.2 I highly recommend the 0.45 VM3

 

[hittman]

I picked up the coils I have on the super sale eightvape was having a week or two ago. I don't remember if they had the .45. I'm sure I could get them somewhere else. That was the cheapest I've ever seen those coils.

That's funny but not silly.
On all my several VooPoo devices, I've had intermittent and unpredictable leaking. As I posted elsewhere, some do some don't; the same one sometimes does and sometimes doesn't.
I've wondered if it wasn't how the coil fit into the pod.
Your experience somehow makes sense. I'll do some twisting and see how it goes. Other than the leakage, the products are quite good for me. Thanks for your insight.

I very much like the flavor I’m getting from the tank. I just hate leaking. So far so good. I refilled a little while ago and no leak.

I knew it had to be something as simple as as a little twist of the coil Hitt, I wouldn't steer you wrong buddy. I just pulled this off and after 50 or 60 ml still no leaking just condensation droplets.

I knew I could trust you. That’s why I ended up with four kits and four spare tanks. I’ll be curious to try the rta when it arrives.

Twisting the coil isn't working for me, still leaks.
Here's what I see: You know how the coils look from the bottom. it's got the outer metal ring surrounding the white ring which surrounds the inner metal.
I can take a bit of paper whatever and press the tank's coil onto it and see a ring of juice which corresponds to the juncture of the outer metal and whiteness.
BTW I checked to see if a particular Ω coil might be the culprit. But, my leakyish coil is a 1Ω on Vinci X and the least leaky is a 1Ω on a Vinci Air. I'm guessing manufacturing inconsistencies.
