I know you may have just recently seen my review on the Argus XT and might wonder why I didn’t combine it with this review on the Argus MT. Well, Voopoo requested two reviews so that is what I’m doing. They have always been excellent to deal with so I don’t mind accommodating their requests. Now that I’ve explained that, let’s talk about the Argus MT. The MT is very similar to the XT but not identical. The MT has an internal 3000mah battery with a max of 100 watts where the XT uses an external battery. It is IP68 tri proof and has a 5v/3A fast charge rating like the XT. It also is powered by the Gene. TT 2.0 chipset and has Smart, rba, Turbo, and TC functions. The MT kit comes with the same MAAT tank as the XT comes with so I will just copy that information from my previous review in case some didn’t read the other review.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:
The packaging for the MT is exactly the same as the XT. It comes in a very nice metal tin with an outer sleeve slid over it. The sleeve has a color picture of the device contained inside. I received the white version. As a matter of fact it is so white that it made it a little difficult to photograph. I won’t be carrying this one at work since my hands get dirty and don’t want to transfer that to the mod.
Once opened, the MT mod is visible along with the MAAT tank, spare glass tank section, and accessory box all mounted inside a plastic insert. Inside the accessory box is a USB-C charging cable and the two included TPP coils. One is the TPP DM4 .3 ohm rated at 32-40 watts and the second coil is the same TPP DM2 .2 ohm coil rated at 40-60 watts as what came in the XT kit. Underneath the mod is a bag of o rings and seals.
There’s no battery adapter with this one since it has a built in 3000mah battery. It is rated at a charge rate of 3A. It does seem to charge fast but when it had about 50% battery when I received it, I plugged it into my Klein USB tester with my Geekvape fast charger and it wasn’t pulling anywhere near 3A.
The Argus MT has very little branding. The Gene TT name is printed on one side with nothing on the other. The leather like material on the back has the ARGUS MT name stamped into it with the mountain symbol above the name.
The 510 top plate is shaped like the mod just like the XT was. It will allow up to a 28mm tank. In the center of the connection is the gold plated and spring loaded center pin. This one also has the lanyard ring on one side. I don’t mind it as much on this one as it seems to give my finger something to rest against and this mod is lighter than the XT. Since the MT has a built in battery there isn’t a battery door on the bottom but instead is a rubbery grey insert. I’m guessing this is to keep it from sliding around on a table or desk.
The adjustment buttons on the MT are a rocker type switch much like the XT but are positioned horizontal instead of vertical and on the MT they are marked with a + and – symbol. The MT also has the flip down cover for the USB-C charging/update port for a seamless design. One thing I thought I might mention is if you do ever need to do an update then you need to use the included cable and it has a triangle on one side of the C connector. This triangle needs to face down in order to do the update.
The chipset and display are the same on the MT as they were on the XT but in case you didn’t get a chance to see my other review then here are the display and button/menu functions.
The display screen gives the following information.
SET WATTAGE
MODE OF OPERATION(SMART, RBA, TURBO, TC)
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR WITH PERCENTAGE DISPLAY
PUFF COUNTER
COIL RESISTANCE
OUTPUT VOLTAGE WHILE FIRING
LENGTH OF TIME OF CURRENT PUFF
Just like about every Voopoo mod that I remember trying, if you leave the MT sit for several minutes then go back to use it then you have to push the fire button twice to fire it. They have a built in safety so if it gets hit by accident once then it just wakes the mod up but doesn’t fire. I’m not a big fan of this feature but I understand why they do it.
The menu system for the XT and MT are the same and use the same Gene TT chipset. The menu and button operation are as follows.
Press the fire button five times to turn the mod on/off
Press the fire button and – button to do a puff counter reset if you don’t want to do it through the menu
Press the + and – buttons to enter the menu system where you can choose between Mode, Setting, About Device, and exit
In Mode selection you can choose between Smart, RBA, Turbo, or TC
In the Setting selection you can reset the puff counter, choose to adjust the screen brightness or change the display type
Each of the four modes is displayed in a different color.
Turbo = Red
Smart = Orange
RBA = Blue
TC = Green
One thing that is different on the MT is that the QS Lock switch is built into the bottom portion of the screen and only has two positions instead of three like the XT has. The left position has the mod unlocked and the right position locks the device.
Ok, in case you didn’t see the MAAT tank information on my other review, here it is again. The MT kit included a DM2 .2 ohm coil like the XT kit did but also came with a DM4 .3 ohm coil rated for 32-40 watts. I really like the DM4 coil for battery longevity.
As always, it’s definitely always a good idea to break down a tank as far as possible for cleaning so that’s what I did with the MAAT Tank. It comes with what I consider to be a very nice 810 drip tip with a stainless beauty ring on the bottom to match the tank. The o rings are on the tip on this one rather than inside the top cap. The top cap on this one is a little different than most bayonet style caps I’ve seen on most tanks where the center is how it locks in place. On the MAAT tank there is a lip sticking out on either side of the outside edge of the underneath side of the cap that locks onto the body of the tank with somewhere between 1/8 and ¼ of a turn. This can be seen in the second picture below.
The top of the fill ports is covered by a gasket with a small hole in each side. I know some people like these gaskets but I personally don’t. If you’ve ever tried to fill a tank with a gasket with a glass dropper then you know it makes quite the mess. However, I also use some 10 and 50ml dropper bottles that work fine with this type of fill system. The MAAT tank has a capacity of 6.5ml.
The TPP coils simply push into the bottom of the tank to seal and then the bottom cap that contains the airflow control is screwed on. The inside of the base has three gold plated contacts to help transfer the power from the mod to the tank. There is a complete range of TPP coils that can be used on the MAAT tank.
The airflow of the tank mimics the design of a volcano to prevent leakage. The actual airflow control on the base is rather different from other tanks I’ve seen. There are two metal sliders that protrude a little to make it easier to adjust the airflow. The two openings are quite wide and allow massive amounts of airflow. There are vertical lines on the airflow slider on the MAAT tank that came with the XT to help the user keep track of where it is set but I noticed on the tank that came with the MT that it did not have those markings. Not really necessary but a nice feature none the less.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
The Argus MT kit is another great kit in my opinion. With it having the same Gene TT 2.0 chipset and operation as the XT it’s hard to go wrong. The MT is a bit lighter than the XT and has a really good hand feel in my opinion. I mentioned earlier that I’m not a fan of lanyard rings but on this one it is actually nice to give my pointer finger something to rest against when holding it and it also helps to keep the mod from slipping out of my hand. Just like the XT, I wish the bottom display numbers were a little larger for people like me that don’t see as well as we used to.
The .3 ohm coil was probably my favorite out of the two. It was reading .36 on the MT and I was able to comfortably run it at 35 watts with the airflow mostly choked down. The flavor is really very good and at this lower wattage the vapor production isn’t quite as large as it is with the .2 ohm coil. The .2 coil is very good also and found myself eventually running it at 54 watts after a few days of use. It also produced very good flavor and even larger amounts of vapor. I’m sure if you like a warmer vape then you could run this one much higher. I still only had the airflow about ¼ open.
I really don’t mind that the MT has a built in battery with a 3000mah rating. Some people may turn their nose up at built in battery mods but I honestly can’t think of one mod with a built in battery that has quit on me due to the battery being bad.
So, would I recommend the Argus MT for you? If you like or don’t mind mods with built in batteries then definitely yes. Whether you decide to purchase the kit or just the mod, this is a really good one in my opinion. I wish all mods came with a lock switch.
I’d like to thank Voopoo and Nical for sending the Voopoo Argus MT kit for this review. Thanks also to those who choose to take the time to read my reviews. I hope I have helped you decide if this is a good fit for you. If you’d like to look a little more then there’s a link to the website below.
