Hello once again and welcome to today's review of 1 of 2 new sample version Argus Kits from Voopoo. Today I'll be covering the Argus MT Kit with the included Matte tank. I'll review the other new Argus Kit called the Argus XT also featuring the Matte tank in the next couple of days so keep a eye out for it's review. There are differences between the 2 new Argus devices that I'll cover so lets get started with the Argus MT Kit review. Both are IP68 rated!

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Voopoo always does a great job with packaging on the Argus Kits and this one is no exception, again a metal tin is used to hold the Argus MT and Matte tank, coils, charging cable, spare O-rings, fill port gasket and user manual. As I said in my opening sentence I was sent a sample version of the Argus MT Kit so the final retail version may be slightly different.
A big thumbs up to Voopoo for the metal tin because it is so useful for storing vape related material such as wicking material, coils, tools or whatever you can fit inside.
I was sent the all white version and it's really attractive, the top plate has a metal finish with the bottom being a very soft silicone that is Grey in color. Attractive is a UNDERSTATEMENT!
I'll start off with the Matte Tank that holds a very generous amount of juice with a 6.5ml capacity using a bubble glass tube. The Matte Tank has plenty of airflow for all you big air lovers but can be dialed down for a nice RDL vape. The drip tip is comfortable to use and has 2 O-rings on it so regular 810 drip tips without O-rings wont fit.
Voopoo made opening the tank easy and speedy with a 1/8 turn opening, after opening you will notice the 2 large fill ports that have a thin silicone rubber covering them with a small hole punched through the center.
I really like and prefer this style of fill port utilizing the silicone membrane that is easily opened with a juice bottles stem and then reseals when the tip is removed, the little hole on each fill port allows air to escape for no mess fill ups. Coils are inserted using the push and pull style through the chimney of the tank, there are no flat spots to line up making it easy.
The Matte Tank uses 2 airflow slots that are 180° apart from each other as is the 2 airflow controls, the airflow controls work as one, whatever is adjusted on 1 is adjusted on the other. On the airflow control dial there are 7 markings for adjustment settings for a quick reference point for the user, resistance of the airflow control dials is perfect. Also shown in this bottom picture is the lanyard ring on the Argus MT device, thank goodness it is low profile and doesn't get in the way or hurt the appearance of the device.
We now come to the Argus MT device which I'm very impressed with because of so many reasons with gorgeous looks being one of them. The spine and sides are wrapped in leather and have a very soft cushy feel to them. One side of the device has Gene TT printed on it at the bottom of the body with the other side having no markings or branding.
On the spine which is flat, ARGUS MT with a mountain top triangle at the top portion is embossed giving it added style. Being a all White device made picture taking very difficult with all the White color wanting to meld together because the entire device's White color is a exact match with buttons, charge port cover, the bezel of the device has sparkle detail that I just couldn't capture but trust me it's there ever so faint as it is.
The bottom of the the device has a very soft silicone rubber preventing any scratches on hard surfaces such as a desk or table, printed on the silicone rubber is 3000mAh designed by Voopoo. Remember this is a sample version so SAMPLE is also printed on it. The tiny hole in the center is for ventilation of the internal 3000mAh battery.
Turning our attention up top you'll notice the different looking top plate keeping with the shape of the Argus MT, if you wish to use another atomizer on the MT a 28mm will fit.
The front face has a nice clean look and notice how well the the match of color is with everything. Above the display screen is the Power/Fire button and below it are the Adjustment buttons with a - minus and + plus symbol engraved on them.
Above the adjustment button is a locking switch which I've really come to love on several devices that I have reviewed including Voopoo. What's a bonus is that the switch is level to the display screen having no bump out of a switch.
When the switch is engaged it locks all operation of the device instead of the usual 5 presses of the Power/Fire button which you can still do if you choose making for a quicker safe mode of pocket carry.
With the Argus MT being a IP68 rated device you know the charge port needs to be covered and it is using a drop down door cover. As you can see the display screen is very bright with easy to read numbers but I wish the wattage and fonts were the same size for easier reading. I always leave a screen protector on if provided for as long as I can and it's on in all of my photos.

The Argus MT menu system is a very simple and easy one to navigate using only a couple of button combinations that I will list below.
MENU SYSTEM
* On/Off - 5 Quick Presses Of The Power/Fire Button
* To Enter The Menu System - Press And Hold Both Adjustment Buttons Simultaneously
* Once In The Menu Use Either Adjustment Button To Move To The Mode Or Setting Selection, Once There Press The Power/Fire Button To Open it, Once Your Selection Is Made Press The Power/ Fire Button To Lock In And Activate Your Selection
I have to say that Voopoo has done it again releasing another winner of a Kit with the Argus MT. Hand fitment is great with thumb or finger fire and it has a good weight to it, not light or heavy either. Build quality of the device feels above average with no button rattle and a nice tactile feel to them with a audible click from all the buttons. There is no lag in firing of the device what so ever. I would suggest sticking with the 0.3Ω coil for battery life and very good flavor as well, but for me the 0.2Ω coil does edge it out in flavor.
PROS
* Attractive
* Solid Build
* Easy Menu
* Bright
* Vivid
* Very Good Flavor
* IP 68 Rated
* Lock Switch
* 3A Charging
CONS
* Wattage And Font Size Should Be of Equal Size
* Lanyard Ring
FINAL IMPRESSIONS
A big thumbs up to Voopoo on the release of the Argus MT Kit, it seems that in the past 8 months that Voopoo has really stepped up their game releasing winner after winner of devices and kits from pods to full sized kits of which several of each are in my daily rotation of personal use.
I would think most if not all of you can agree that the MT is a very attractive device alone but looks don't make a winner. The reason I consider it a winner is the vape that I get from the kit including the Matte Tank and TPP Coils, very flavorful with more than enough vapor.
Using the supplied 0.3Ω coil rated for between 32-40w and a best setting of 35w I never needed to exceed the minimum of 32 watts for very good flavor so this coil will last a little bit longer vaping it at it's minimum recommended wattage and help preserve battery life.
Using the 0.2Ω coil rated for between 40-60w and a best setting of 50-55w I found my sweet spot at 52watts. Out of the 2 coils I prefer the 0.2Ω because it edges the 0.2Ω coil out by a bit with flavor in my opinion, every vaper is different so my findings might be different than yours but both supplied coils put very good flavor.
Being a IP68 rated device will go to waste for me because of it's beauty this will never leave my desk let alone be on one of my construction jobsites plus being White I wash my hands before touching it. LOL
Having 3A charging is also one plus that lets you come to a full charge quickly and something I forgot to mention is that when charging little animated bubbles rise from the bottom of the display screen like carbonation bubbles from soda, very cool looking!
The lock switch work great and I wish every device had one, I know it takes not time to press a button 5 times quickly but sliding a switch is quicker when putting it in a pocket and also quicker when ready to vape again.
I really like the Turbo mode getting that little added kick of power at the beginning of a vape, for most people the Smart mode will prove beneficial preventing accidental wattage adjustment over the maximum wattage for the coil installed.
I would like to thank Nical and Voopoo for providing the Argus MT Kit for the purpose of this review and I hope that I answered all of your questions about the Argus MT Kit.
