VooPoo Argus Z2
I bring you again a novel POD-type device, the Argus Z2 from VooPoo. This device implements the new VooPoo cartridges that we have been talking about for a long time. These provide exceptional flavor and really last quite a while, enough to finish a 30mL bottle of the same liquid, or even more, depending of course.
Thanks from here to the VooPoo team, you can visit their website and learn more about the Argus Z2.

Packaging
The device comes included in a rectangular box, in it we can see an image of it in the foreground. According to what I have researched, the Argus Z2 has individual packaging for each color, so depending on the color you have chosen, your packaging will be slightly different.
At the top we find the branding, in this case we are shown that the brand is VooPoo and the model is Argus Z2. On the other hand, we are indicated the battery capacity, which is really impressive for a stick-shaped POD device, although I admit, it doesn't last five days without charging.
On the back, the first thing that catches our attention is the contents of the box, as it is the first thing we see at the top.
In the box;
1* Argus Z2 Device
1* Argus Top Fill Cartridge 0.7Ω (3mL)
1* Type-C Charging Cable
1* User Manual
Otherwise, it's all contact addresses, some warnings, various logos, and a sticker indicating that this product is a sample, so it may differ slightly from the one released to the market.

Device Inspection
This part of the review is really going to be quite brief, as it is a really simple and easy to understand device, since it does not have adjustable air intake, button, or screen.
From this perspective we can see the body of the POD. In this case it is a stick-type device that has a 1500mAh battery inside, something that I emphasize because I think it is one of the best points of the device. As for its materials, practically everything except the top part that surrounds the cartridge is plastic, a plastic with a rather curious texture. This does not have to be bad, because it makes the device really light, and for those who are interested, it can be vaped with it without hands, something that I think some of us do with PODs.
From here we can also see the air intake, which is that small hole that is very close to the metal ring. The device has two, one on each side. They provide a very satisfying RDL but... they fall short for MTL, so if the one who is reading this review is specifically for that, I do not recommend it at all, I sincerely think that it will not fully please you.
We also appreciate a small LED light at the top, which will always turn on when we take a puff and will change to red when there is little battery left. Finally, although it is not well appreciated from this perspective, the name Argus is textured on the bottom.
I'm including this other image to show you the charging port, although it's on the side, it generally doesn't stand upright when you put it to charge, so as a recommendation, I suggest removing the cartridge when charging it.
The device charges at 5V/1A, which I don't fully understand, since these PODs, and in fact VooPoo has already done it with past devices, implemented 5V/2A fast charging, I don't quite understand this change.

I'm showing you the cartridges here, although it's nothing new if you've read any other reviews about recent VooPoo PODs. They promise a durability of up to 30 days of use (which is not entirely true, although they don't fall short on durability).
What I'm passionate about these cartridges is the amount of flavor they provide, and not just the amount but the quality. The flavor with these pods is really great, they give a pretty strong hit and it's a very positive point to take into account.
The refill system is on the side, through a silicone flap that we open, we can uncover the refill hole and fill up to 3mL of our favorite liquid.

Vaping Time
Alright, let's first talk about the in-hand feel. I must say that thanks to its lightness, it's really comfortable, and the textured plastic makes you want to play with it all the time. As for the battery, although it's true that it doesn't last anywhere near five days straight, it does last between one and two days depending on how much we use it, but it's closer to one day.
Regarding flavor and vapor, I have only been able to test the 0.7Ω cartridge and here are my conclusions:
The airflow is perfect for an RDL vape but does not quite achieve an MTL vape. However, the flavor as always, is truly exceptional, again the guys at VooPoo have done a great job. It has a very explosive flavor and with a pretty, pretty good quality in my opinion.

Conclusion
To put it in a nutshell, the VooPoo Argus Z2 presents itself as a really interesting POD-type device, especially for those looking for a satisfying RDL vape and exceptional flavor. Despite some limitations, such as its performance for MTL and the charging speed, its strengths are undeniable. The lightness and comfort of the device, along with the flavor quality provided by its cartridges, make it an option to consider.
