Here today we have the supposed "Best Pod System 2025" aka Argus G3 by VOOPOO. This sample was graciously provided to me by VOOPOO for the purpose of this review. I know exactly what you're thinking "Oh god another pod kit? That's all the market is flooded with!!" and you would be right, I'm sick of pod kits too. Except this one not only promises to be different, but is different. I'll explain why after the technical specs and information on this lil monster.

***Review***

I got this in the Aurora Purple around March 20th and have been running it since the 25th and in that time I haven't been able to get the claimed 5 days charge out of it, but I am running the kit at the max 18W for the .7ohm pod with wide open airflow and chain vaping on it so my results may be affected by that set of circumstances. Nonetheless, it has thoroughly impressed me and it outshines the OXVA NeXlim which is it's direct competitor, for the reason that follows: it hits like an RTA/rda in the cloud and flavor department. Seriously at 18W it hits as hard as my Fat Rabbit Solo V2 in terms of both flavor and cloud production. But the 2 drawbacks for it are that, for me, it dies about every 2.5 days and needs a quick charge, which happens in about 30 minutes from dead to full (beating the claimed 45 minutes) and the fact that it's only a 30W kit versus competitors which are 35 to 40W kits. Now it more than makes up for a low maximum wattage by punching, rather effectively, above it's weight class with flavor and cloud. Now the themes are actually rather attractive and they add a bit of fun and flair to the device. I usually run the stock theme out of pure laziness, but the other themes, which I've experimented with, are interesting just not my cup of tea. I will say that the claimed 30 day life span of the pod may not be entirely out of the realm of possibility, but I've only been using it for 10 days so we shall see when the pod finally dies. I also like the fact that I can just slide this in my pocket on the go and get close to the level of clouds only usually achievable on an RTA/rda, all without sacrificing flavor.

***Verdict***

Honestly? Don't knock it until you try it as it pleasantly surprised me how well this is built and how well the pods seem to be performing over the last 10 days. Thus far, I give it a solid 7.5/10. This is because it's hindered by the single button for all functions, lack of larger airflow and the lack of a removable coil pod.
