Hello again. Today I’ll be covering the Voopoo Argus GT kit that was sent to me by Sourcemore for the purpose of providing a fair and honest review. In the past I had not owned many Voopoo products but after seeing a review on ECF, I had decided to give the Argus a try and have become fairly familiar with it and the PNP tanks and some of the coils so feel like I can give a decent review of this product. I’ll start with some specifications and pictures then give my thoughts on this device. So, away we go.
What’s in the box?
Specifications:
First Impressions:
When I opened the box and slid out the nice looking plastic case, I was impressed. Usually all you get is a box and the contents. The Argus GT is packaged in a very nice hard case with foam inserts. Inside I found the mod, PNP tank, two coils, charging cable and user manual. I received the red/black version and have to say that it is a beautiful mod. I never usually buy mods with red on them but love the looks of this one. I also noticed on the mod that there is what I would call a splatter effect on the outer black parts. I guess it’s to add to the visual affect. I could do with or without it.
I was already familiar with the PNP tank since I’ve already purchased and used some of them. The tank holds 4.5ml of liquid which is a good amount for me. The tank is a bottom fill with a decent size opening for filling with most bottles and makes no mess but I always wipe after filling with a paper towel just in case. The two coils included in the kit are .15 ohms rated at 60-80 watts and .2 ohm rated at 40-60 watts. I very much like the flavor and vapor produced by these coils. The tank portion has magnets that are very strong and I had no issues with the tank pulling away from the 510 base.
The user interface with the Gene chip is fairly simple and I like it. Five clicks of the fire button will turn it on and off. The default screen when you turn it on is yellow which is Smart VW. Three clicks of the fire button will switch to RBA wattage mode and three more clicks will take you into Temperature Control menu where you choose which type of coil material you are using and long press the fire button to select the type. Pressing the fire button and the plus button will lock the device. Pressing the fire button and the minus button will clear the puff counter. While in temperature control mode, pressing the plus and minus buttons will take you into another menu where you can set the wattage, tcr, and resistance.
The mod has the battery door on the bottom of the unit which is marked with + and – but is not marked inside the unit. The Argus GT is equipped with a USB-C charging port that is on the side of the unit underneath a rubber plug.
Final Thoughts:
To be honest, I never really given much thought to Voopoo products in the past. I feel like they are really putting out some good devices now. The pictures really don’t do this mod justice. One thing I really like about this mod is that it is very lightweight for a dual battery mod. Also it is skinny and fits in my hand very nicely. Like I mentioned earlier, I saw a review on ECF of this kit and knew I had to try one. Since then, I’ve added a few to my collection. I haven’t tried charging using the charging port since it’s not recommended and I always charge batteries in a charger inside a charging bag since one time a few years ago I had a charger and batteries catastrophically fail on me.
To me the Gene chip and user menu are very user friendly and easy to navigate. I have tried the Argus and the PNP pod in all three modes. I enjoyed using it in temperature control with the watts set at 80 and temperature set at 400-410. I haven’t used temp control in a while but this mod seems to do a good job of it. I also would switch to smart or rba modes and run either coil around 50 watts. The recommended wattage on the .15 coil was just too warm for me.
I very much like the PNP tank and coils. I felt like both coils produced very good flavor and plenty of vapor. Even though the drip tip is not removable, it wasn’t an issue for me since I find the tip to be very comfortable to use. It’s nice that the tank is held on to the base with magnets so you don’t have to unscrew from the mod to fill each time. When using the .15 coil I checked each time I filled the tank and it was dry underneath each time until I got to a little over 300 on the puff counter and experienced a little beat of seepage which was easily remove with a paper towel. I’m still using the .2 coil and have not experienced any leaking or seepage so far and am a little over 300 on the counter.
So, would I recommend the Argus GT for others to purchase? Definitely yes! I very much like the Argus GT from the carrying case to the performance it is a real winner in my opinion.
