    VooPoo Argus Gt 160W

    This KIt was sent to me for review by sourcemore, thank you.

    On the front side of the package we naturally find the image of the product, the Argus GT writing, at the bottom the name of the brand and the color of the Sample inside are shown.

    With a weight of only 140g (box + Atom) the Argus GT is the ideal dual battery mod for those looking for performance and handling.
    To make an idea weighs 50 grams less than the Drag2 refresh, this makes it very versatile and comfortable for outdoor outings.

    Color range:
    Carbon Fiber, Vintage Gray, Dark Blue, Black & Red, Black & Blue.
    The graphics and the material of the inserts vary according to the chosen color model.

    How the Argus GT is made:

    Compared to the Drag and to significantly reduce its weight, VooPoo has made extensive use of good quality plastic material.
    Much of the plastic material in the perimeter of this Mod is decorated with lots of "bubbles" to create a sort of wet effect.

    The inserts in Eco leather (Carbon Fiber version) or fabric (Dark blue version) are soft and padded, the one in fabric is elegantly finished with visible stitching.

    The USB Type-C port is effectively protected by a rigid rubber cap.

    The side profile of the Argus GT highlights a plastic material mask fixed to the mod by six cross screws (three per side), this frame varies in color and shades depending on the version.

    The VooPoo writing is imprinted on the panel of the Carbon Fiber version, while in the Dark blue version it is colored and embossed, embellished with two seams of the same color that run in parallel.

    8.jpg


    The front of the Mod houses the Fire button at the top. The key is slightly protruding, its shape is rectangular, in the center it houses a circular recess particularly comfortable for the fingertip.

    On the 0.96 "color display at the top next to the Argus writing we can view the charge of the cells, the wattage and the current vaping mode.

    The intelligent vape mode is indicated next to the vattage with "S" and with R the RBA vape mode, using one or the other function the screen turns yellow for the first, blue for the second option.

    There is also information on the ohm of the coil and on the volts in delivery.

    The font of the temperature control screen (NI, TI, SS) is green.

    On the disply there is a graphic equalizer that lights up according to the length of the last Puff, below we find the Puff counter and the duration time of the last Puff.

    The back of the mod is optimally shaped to be gripped and is decorated with the ARGUS written vertically.

    In the upper part screwed with two French screws we find the off-centered cup and slightly raised to avoid signs of wear.
    Pin is spring loaded gold / plated.
    On the Argus GT it is possible to install atomizers up to ø26mm without protrusions.

    On the bottom of the Mod we find the writing "designed by VooPoo" the C E mark, the disposal logo and the indication of the opening direction to access the battery compartment.

    The door has an opening slide, inside it the polarity of the cells are indicated.
    There are no ventilation holes.

    The venting of the batteries in the unfortunate hypothesis of a problem, would take place directly between the door/Mod junction, this detail is deliberately assembled in a non-hermetic way, therefore sufficient to guarantee safety.

    Pnp Tank Features:
    Dimensions: 50mm diameter 26mm
    Tank material: PCTG
    Compatible Coils: Pnp Series
    Capacity: 4.5ml
    Base material: stainless steel
    Capacity: 4.5ml
    Weight: 36g
    Connector: 510

    The PnP tank with its PnP Coil is very performing.
    It has collected a great success among Pod enthusiasts thanks certainly to a very easy refill with its 4.5ml capacity and thanks to the robust transparent PCTG construction material that guarantees total control over the liquid level.

    Already seen on the previous Drag-S Drag-X, the Tank PnP is now re-proposed on the Argus Gt and on the Refresh versions of the Drag2 with an important and intelligent update, a magnetic base with fully adjustable Air-flow

    The three magnets of the Pod are super powerful, in contact with the new 510 base they guarantee a solid attachment point.
    The air adjustment ring has a knurled surface for a more effective finger grip, the two opposing air-flow slots measure 12x3mm.

    With this important update the PnP Tank becomes truly universal, in just a few seconds it can be moved from Pod Drag-X and Drag-S to all Mods equipped with classic 510 attachment.

    The refilling operation of the PnP Tank is really fast, the sealing rubber is effective, the formation of condensation even after intense use is very limited.

    15.jpg


    Coil PnP:
    Included in the kit are two Mesh-Coils, the PnP-VM6 0.15Ω with range 60-80W and the PnP-VM5 from 0.2Ω with range 40-60W.

    Of course, all PnP series coils are compatible with the PnP Tank, you can find them here: VOOPOO PnP Coils for FIND Trio/DRAG Baby/VINCI/VINCI R/VINCI X/DRAG S/DRAG X Kit

    Here instead the original PnP RBA: VOOPOO PnP-RBA Coil DIY Type for Half-DL/MTL

    The 0.15Ω coil with the Smart function activated is set by default by the GENE.TT Chipset to 65W.
    Boosted at 60W and with all the flow / air open it produces an intense aroma accompanied by impressive clouds of vapor, the exceptional flexibility of this Mesh-Coil allows you to vape safely even at considerably lower wattages.

    The 0.2Ω coil with the Smart function activated is set by default by the GENE.TT chipset to 50W, even here the aromatic performance and the density of the vapor are remarkable, the aroma is well defined. Boosted to just 40W the vapor isn't that dense, 50W is actually the Best of this coil.

    16.jpg


    A really useful feature that I am comfortable with is the "Smart" function.
    Recognizable by the yellow screen and the "S" on the display next to the number of watts, this intelligent function automatically sets the wattage optimally to each PnP coil inserted, thus avoiding the most careless to burn the cotton prematurely.
    The Smart function can be deactivated by inserting the RBA mode (Blue screen) in its place for a "free" adjustment

    17.jpg


    The GENE.TT reliable chipset par excellence is a circuit that does not do a lot of things but what it does is good.

    18.jpg


    GENE.TT Chipset Menu:
    - To turn the device on / off, press the Fire button five times in rapid sequence.
    - Press the Fire key three times in a row, use the Up / Down keys to select one of the available modes (Smart, RBA, NI-TI-SS temperature control).
    - To confirm a vape mode after selecting it, long press the Fire key.
    - Simultaneously press the Fire / Up button to lock / unlock the device.
    - Simultaneously press the Fire / Down button to clear the Puff number.
    - By pressing all the keys together we can go to see the type of chip installed.

    - Smart mode identifies the ideal Wattage of the PnP-Coil preventing the cotton from burning.
    - 5-160 free watt setting mode.
    - TC mode supports SS, TI, NI.

    - Sleep mode: the screen becomes inactive after 30 seconds of pause, after 30 minutes of inactivity it enters standby mode, press Fire to wake it up.

    - The Gene TT chipset prevents you from using the device while charging for safety reasons.

    Notes: During the 5V-2A recharge the batteries icon is working, when the charge is complete the icon remains immobile.
    To update the firmware, insert the side of the data line marked "▲" facing right.
    It is recommended to use batteries with discharge current> 30A
