Hello again folks I hope everyone's having a great day, the review today is on a more traditional box mod kit called the Argus GT from Voopoo. The Argus GT Kit is a duel 18650 box mod and comes with the PNP Pod/tank that has been used in the Vinci and Drag X/S line. It's nice to see Voopoo release a more traditional box mod along with the successful PNP Pod/tank with a new upgrade that really makes me happy. I'll cover the upgrade and all the features of this kit later but first as always lets get to know the Argus GT Kit a little bit better.

DUEL AIRFLOW POD/TANK
INITIAL IMPRESSIONS
My first reaction after removing the kit from it's shipping container was shock along with joy because the Argus GT Kit comes housed in a little storage case with a Argus GT wrapper sleeve around it.
Removing the sleeve and opening up the storage container revealed the Argus GT Kit.
That is a very nice bonus from Voopoo, the outlined foam can be removed if one wishes to. I was very pleased to see the familiar PNP Pod/Tank as it's a favorite of mine using the VM6 Mesh coil. As was shown earlier it ships with the VM5 and VM6 Mesh coils.
The PNP Pod/Tank is the same but what's different is the Argus GT Kit also comes with the new Adapt PNP Coil 510 adapter that allows the user to use the PNP Pod/Tank on any device that accepts a male 510 pin and also gives the user the ability if they own other PNP Pods/Tanks to switch flavors on the fly because they are held to the 510 base magnetically. If your not familiar with this Pod/Tank it provides plenty of airflow using a duel slotted style airflow and can be reduced to a very restricted DL, just remember to drop your wattage though. The Drip Tip is proprietary and can't be removed but is very comfortable to use. It is bottom fill that has a large fill slot,( mess free) and rubber plug.
Hears a shot of the VM5 0.2Ω ( 40-60w ) and VM6 0.15Ω ( 60-80w ) Mesh Coils that are provided in the Argus GT Kit. The VM6 on the right is my favorite coil in the PNP line.
Alright folks I've covered the Pod/Tank and now lets have a look at the Argus GT Device. When I picked it up the fist thing I noticed was the weight or lack there of it, WOW this device is very lightweight being made of zinc alloy and leather. The Argus name is beautifully branded in a two tone leather wrap on the spine along with Voopoo branding on one side of the device. The 510 is spring loaded and the 510 top plate has grooves cut in it for atomizers that get their air from the 510. A 25mm tank will fit and look all right with a slight over hang.
Batteries are installed at the bottom of the device via a battery door by sliding the end outward opening the battery compartment. There are 2 things you will notice in the next picture, the first is your probably saying it's all wet with water splatter, I actually thought it was machine oil and tried in vain for a few minutes to remove it, it's throughout the whole device border and top & bottom. The second thing is 2 little rubber feet located below design by Voopoo marking. They stop the device from sliding too easily on a table. ( NICE FEATURE )
Battery polarity is marked only on the battery door, no polarity markings inside the device.
The Argus GT uses a Type-C connection for charging and firmware updates and is located on the bottom side of the device. ( NOTICE THE WATER SPATTER LOOK ).
They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I would be surprised if anyone didn't think this device wasn't gorgeous with the two toned leather wrap and metal along with a very bright screen that has 3 colors depending on what mode your in. By default the Argus GT is in smart mode ( YELLOW SCREEN ) , smart mode is a protection mode that senses your coil and prevents you from going over the coils max wattage rating ruining your coil.
There is also a RBA menu that uses a ( BLUE SCREEN ) along with a ( GREEN SCREEN ) that is used when in TC mode. All the screen colors are very bright and vivid with all the details you need nicely placed on the screen. Because of picture limitations I am unable to show them but they are indeed bright and vivid also.
The menu system is a very simple easy one
* 5 presses of the power button turns the device on/off
* Once on the Argus GT defaults to smart mode ( YELLOW SCREEN )
* 3 quick presses of the power button puts you in RBA mode ( BLUE SCREEN ) which allows you to reach 160w
* 3 more quick presses of the power button puts you in TC mode ( GREEN SCREEN )
using the up/down buttons move to the desired metal you want and press the power button for detailed adjustments
* Pressing and holding the power and + button at the same time will lock/unlock the device
* Pressing and holding the power and - button at the same time will clear the puff counter
One last plus I want to address is how narrow the Argus GT, comfort feel in the hand is really great either the thumb or finger to fire the device. As I've said earlier, this is a lightweight narrow and solidly built device that I have been using for a little over 2 weeks and in that time I've had 0 leaks or drops of liquid seep anyplace from the Pod/Tank. The Argus GT also has a fast scroll speed and firers very fast with no delay.
PROS
* Attractive
* Lightweight
* Narrow
* Bright screen
* Instant Fire
* Type-C 2amp charging
* 160 Output
* Strong Tank Magnets
* Great Flavor
* Smooth Airflow
* Compatible With All PNP Coils
CONS
* No Polarity Markings Inside The Battery Sled
* Slight Tank Gap
FINAL IMPRESSIONS
Voopoo has made a narrow, lightweight, attractive device with a bright screen with all the details you need laid out nicely. Voopoo just keeps raising the bar with new device they produce and the Argus GT is no exception. I've always been a fan of the PNP Pod/Tank using the VM6 Coil and now I can use it on any device that has a 510 receptor because of the 510 adapter. I also just found out that Voopoo has a RTA Pod/Tank . This also will fit any device with a 510 receptor.
As you can tell I'm thoroughly happy with the Voopoo Argus GT Kit and think you would be also, this is another winner from Voopoo. Folks I can't stress enough on how lightweight this device is and has functioned perfectly.
In closing I would like to thank Thea and Voopoo for providing the Argus GT Kit for review. I hope this review help anyone looking to purchase the Voopoo Argus GT Kit.
Thank You
