    Hello fellow ECF members. :toast:

    I'd like to discuss the VOOPOO ARGUS G POD Kit that was sent to me by VOOPOO for the purpose of providing a fair and honest review. :thumb:

    This time post took longer to deliver the samples but I still hope you will find my reviews helpful.
    Btw, if you'd like to check my previous reviews of Voopoo devices you can do it Here and Here.

    Voopoo has been very productive with their popular Argus family of Pods lately. They all share compatible Argus Pods and coils which is very useful if you have a couple of the devices of that family in your collection or other family members are using them.

    Intro from Voopoo:
    ARGUS G is VOOPOO's first “rectangular stick style” POD designed to give vapers an all-around smooth experience. The nanometer-scale polishing processes and aluminum alloy integrated streamline design make ARGUS G shine with luster and feel smooth. The built-in 1000mAh battery easily covers about 3 days of vaping needs. Adopting VOOPOO ITO specialized atomization technology for MTL vaping, ARGUS G delivers a stable taste with a 5W-25W wattage setting and prolongs the lifespan of the coil.

    Colour options available:

    I received the Racing Green option which is cool but Aurora Blue option looks stunning IMHO.:w00t:

    Handfeel is very nice, device is compact and looks modern and stylish.

    Key Features of the new G Pod in short:
    Powerful Battery, Long-Lasting Energy Behind

    Compared with the counterpart rectangular stick style POD with a multi-function button and a screen, ARGUS G is larger in battery capacity. Its 1000mAh built-in battery supports stable vaping even with the MAX 25W power output and a full charge lasts about 3 days at maximum. In addition, ARGUS G comes with TYPE-C 5V/1A cable that makes the device full-charged within 60 minutes.

    I don't like vaping on max power but I can confirm that the fully charged battery lasted me almost a week of semi-heavy use.

    Diversified Vaping Styles, Taste So Smooth

    VOOPOO ARGUS POD Cartridge has an innovative leak-proof structure. The four holes at the bottom balance the airflow and direct air inflow and the airflow buffer at both sides control the airflow speed. VOOPOO ARGUS POD Cartridge delivers a smooth and delicate taste while storing the condensates and poorly atomized e-liquid against leakage to the pod. Besides, the silicone ring maximizes the cartridge’s air tightness and ensures that the airflow amount heated by the heating wires is at the maximum. It increases the heating efficiency and lengthens the coil lifespan that supports a half-bottle e-liquid ( 30ml/bottle) vaping.

    Indeed had no leakage issues during the testing period.

    Intelligent Interaction, Get to Know Everything

    The upgraded OLED screen could record five-figure puff times and display wattage, rest power, and coil resistance, recording and reassuring every moment of your vaping. In case of low power, atomizer short, maximum power output, high temperature, vaping timeout, or other special circumstances, the screen will pop up text prompts. Besides, ARGUS G supports dual ignitions, button ignition and draw ignition, vapers can switch them as they want and start their vaping immediately.

    Both Draw and button ignition works well on this one, I prefer the button option though.

    Let's compare it:

    So as you can see it's a bit taller and thinner than the Vinci 3 device.

    Refilling the device:

    is an easy process thanks to the Argus Pod carts which are well known to the army of Argus family devices fans.
    ARGUS Pod Cartridges are compatible for ARGUS POD Family (ARGUS P1, ARGUS G, ARGUS Z, ARGUS POD, ARGUS POD SE)

    Pros:
    Reasonably priced (around £28 in the UK)
    New technologies and protection features used
    Adjustable MTL airflow
    Nice design
    Quality build
    Easy to operate (Button/Autodraw)
    Very nice coil+antileakage system used (compatible pods/ PnP coils)
    True 1000mAh built-in battery with Type-c charging

    Cons:
    The kit might seem a bit too small for the big handed users.
    Couple of reviewers mentioned the leakage problems of some pods. I haven't had one during my testing period but let's better mention it in this section.

    My Final Thoughts on Argus G kit:

    This new G Pod Kit is a bit fancier option of the Argus family. If you like the design and the details of the device mentioned, you should get one. The price tag is reasonable considering the quality and performance it offers. Vapour production and taste was also on a decent level.
    I liked it and I can surely recommend this compact device to all Smokers who are looking for a device to help them switch to a healthier alternative or quit.

    Overall rank 8.8/10 by Dreamvaper.
    Can recommend this device :thumb:
