    ► VOOPOO ARGUS G3 Mini; Introduction:
    After the Argus G3, it's time for the simplified "Light" version. The new Argus G3 Mini comes with a classic slim and thin "stick" form factor, with high robustness characteristics thanks to the fine zinc alloy frame. The metal surfaces of this kit are pleasantly smooth, but include a special lateral texture specifically designed to offer maximum grip, the small size and light weight allow you to slide the device between your fingers with ease. The ARGUS Top Fill V2 cartridges are equipped with iCOSM 2.0 technology, which always guarantees a tastier experience than the average of the competition, but also an enviable resistance to leaks and a longer life of the internal resistance. Let's discover Argus G3 Mini together.
    Enjoy the reading.

    ► VOOPOO ARGUS G3 Mini; Airflow:
    I received the Sky Blue color version for this test, the side profile with its texture called "Parisian Studs" increases the grip with the fingers and contrasts with the rest of the Mod which uses very smooth parts. In the upper part of the side profile there are two opposing holes (one on each side), these holes are small in size and are clearly MTL / RDL. ARGUS G3 Mini does not support airflow regulation and the chipset automatically adjusts the power based on the resistive value of the installed coil with a maximum peak of 30W, all this is calculated to guarantee a smooth transition from MTL to RDL vaping.

    ► VOOPOO ARGUS G3 Mini; Battery:
    The compact size of Argus G3 Mini goes well with the weight of only 40.85 which corresponds to almost 20% less than the previous generation of Argus Mini. The new ARGUS G3 Mini is equipped with a 1350mAh battery capable of ensuring good vaping autonomy before recharging.

    ► VOOPOO ARGUS G3 Mini; Led Control:
    The two flat surfaces of the Mod are well connected with the narrow sides, these surfaces have a very clean and no-frills design, on one of the two sides we find the writing "Argus" while on both sides we find at half height a signal LED that if there is a need will indicate the intervention of the safety protections, Furthermore this LED indicates the current battery charge level as follows:

    • A red light indicates that the battery level is equal to or less than 20%
    • A white light indicates that the battery level is between 21 and 100%.

    The lower base of Argus G3 Mini despite its small size is able to easily keep the mod upright, on the base there are printed information regarding the characteristics of the battery. The Compartment / Pod inside houses two rectangular magnets, two gold-plated spring-loaded pins and the sensor for automatic puff activation, this is also the only activation mode available on ARGUS G3 MINI.

    ► VooPoo Argus G3 Mini; ARGUS Top Fill V2 iCOSM CODE 2.0 Big Coil:
    The ARGUS G3 Mini kit is equipped with the latest ARGUS V2 cartridge fully updated with iCOSM CODE 2.0 flavor interpretation technology. The cartridge with the copper bottom maintains a constant air pressure. The 3 times denser copper bottom increases the leak resistance by 83% and excels even in harsh conditions of use. According to VooPOO, the new "Big Coil" resistor equipped with Golden Cotton is the best in its category; it offers 30 days of pristine flavor, with a lifespan of 100ml. The Golden Cotton offers high heat resistance, certified 5A aerospace grade, withstands 260 ° C, 73% more than the limit of 150 ° C of standard cotton. It offers a 300% longer life and is designed to stabilize the absorption of e-liquid by increasing the size of the coil, with instant saturation, also slowing down the degradation of flavor. As it is a new technology of cartridge, materials and coils update you can consult: iCOSM CODE - Spark Your Life

    This cartridge "ARGUS TOP Fill V2" also offers good feedback with the lips, filling from the top (side) requires lifting the rubber by inserting a nail under it, it is recommended to keep the cartridge full for two thirds. The cartridge is offered with an e-liquid capacity of 2/3ml and currently has 3 different resistances 0.4Ω, 0.7Ω and 1.0Ω. The cartridge that you will find inside the Argus G3 mini box is the 0.7Ω one. All these cartridges are capable of working with different nicotine concentrations and different types of E-liquid, however VOOPOO reports the optimal performance of each cartridge as follows:

    Recommended E-liquid:
    • 1.0Ω Coil: ≤50mg (Nic Salt)
    • 0.7Ω Coil: ≤30mg (Nic Salt)
    • 0.4Ω Coil: ≤20mg (Freebase/Nic Salt)

    VooPoo offers a wide range of replacement Argus cartridges to provide users with a diversified vaping experience from MTL to RDL. Different cartridge technologies with different resistive values and 2/3ml capacity are available. You can choose to use various disposable cartridges or "empty pod" type with replaceable ITO coils.

    ► VooPOo Argus G3 Mini Pod Kit; Vaping Test and Final Conclusions:
    The Argus Top Fill V2 0.7Ω cartridge is dedicated to MTL vaping, Argus G3 Mini with this cartridge and with the battery fully charged delivers a presumable power of about 18W. The power drops to a minimum of about 14W when the battery charge levels are low. With this cartridge I really appreciated the quality of the flavor that can be obtained, the aromatic yield is of a good level with exemplary operation and without spitting. The MTL shot is contrasted, the vapor is moderately hot. The performance with the new ARGUS Top Fill V2 cartridges together with iCOSM CODE 2.0 Big Coil guarantee another substantial step forward with improvements that concern the quality of the flavor and the extended life of the coil. The vaping autonomy is well managed and is quite long thanks to the internal 1,350mAh battery. The power delivered is strong and constant until the end of the charge. In conclusion, I would recommend ARGUS G3 MINI because it is a Pod kit that is easy to use and very satisfying despite belonging to a range of entry-level products with a low cost. So I would say that "little expense and a lot of performance" is a saying that fits perfectly with Argus G3 Mini Pod Kit.
