Yup, mine is the argus g2, pretty pod kit by the way, hitting is good. I like slightly resitrcited mouth to lung and it does the job for me
I’ve only done rebuildables for years now though I own some pod stuff. It’s all quite old and I doubt there is still stuff made for it. That’s what is awesome about 510. Pods are by definition proprietary. I’ve got 15 year old 510 stuff I can still use. It wasn’t really the best system even back when it came out. It worked, was sturdy,and the patent got screwed up so it became a standard. It was originally the adaptor for blu. I understand there is still stuff made under that name. One of those “great mistakes”. There aren’t many brands from back then still going. I still won’t buy stuff that isn’t 510. I don’t like being left at the whim of corporate executives.

15 years, that's a lot. Is the blu you mentioned is the pod system kit? A 510 adaptor for it? Sorry for this stupid question, my vape ages are not quite long so it puzzles me

I started vaping in 2008 befor there even wa a blu. Before vaping was even a word. The word was coined on this site btw.
No. Blu was origionally a cigalike 3 piece system: juice container, atomizer, and battery. The connection between the atomizer and the battery was what was 510. There may have been a blu pod though, and the last blu I heard of was a disposable. So totally different hardware.
The name apparently still carried weight though. I think that weight was created by the popularity of the original blu, and it was popular not because it was good, it wasn’t, Even then. By modern standards it would be terrible, but because you could get batteries cheap. Also, because it had a standard attachment it would connect to anything. They were sold at gas stations and if your mod died you could by a blu and use the battery or if your atty died or you were out of juice you could buy a blu and attach it to your mod. And if you kept vaping you could change up and keep some of your hardware. That was enough to make people say “just buy a blu” so they were very popular. Even I said it. I heard one guy say that it was called blu because the draw was so tight that was the color you turned when you tried to vape one. Not untrue. It had a 510 though and that was everything.
