Design and Build Quality
The ARGUS A boasts a sturdy and premium feel, thanks to its aluminum and zinc alloy construction. Measuring 93mm x 44mm x 22mm and weighing 110g with an empty pod, the device has a substantial heft that adds to its high-quality impression.
One of the ARGUS A’s most striking features is its dual-zone display. The device features a crescent moon-shaped screen at the top and a circular screen below, both displaying clear and crisp vaping statistics. The unique dual-screen design sets the ARGUS A apart from other pod systems on the market.
The device’s controls, including the fire button, ON/OFF switch, and USB-C charging port, are conveniently located on one side, while the other side features a smooth airflow adjustment slider. The pod sits securely in the top of the device, held in place by strong magnets.
VOOPOO offers the ARGUS A in eight attractive color options, each with the ARGUS logo etched into the body for a classy and understated look.
Features and Functionality
The ARGUS A’s dual-zone display not only looks impressive but also provides valuable information at a glance. The top screen displays the current mode, coil resistance, and a puff counter with a 5-bar indicator that lights up based on draw length. The bottom screen shows the battery life percentage and set wattage.
The device offers three vaping modes:
- Power
- ECO
- SUPER
Power mode allows users to adjust the wattage from 5-30W, while ECO and SUPER modes are preset for battery conservation and increased performance, respectively. Navigating through the menu is intuitive, with five clicks of the fire button providing access to switch modes, clear the puff counter, view usage stats, or lock the device.
The ARGUS A supports both button-activated and draw-activated firing, with the latter being impressively responsive. The adjustable airflow slider on the side enables users to dial in their preferred draw, from a tight mouth-to-lung (MTL) to a restricted direct-lung (DL) experience.
Fast charging is supported via the USB-C port, with VOOPOO claiming a full charge in about 40 minutes. The device also allows for passthrough vaping while charging. Additionally, the ARGUS A features a usage record function that tracks total puffs, daily average puffs, average puff duration, and average wattage.
Pods and Coils
The ARGUS A is compatible with the entire ARGUS pod range, including the 0.7Ω and 1.2Ω pods, as well as the PnP pod adapter for VOOPOO’s PnP coils. The kit includes two “Top Fill” pods:
- 1 * 0.7Ω pod for MTL vaping
- 1 * 0.4Ω pod for a restricted DL experience
Both pods have a 3ml capacity (2ml for TPD regions).
Despite the “Top Fill” name, the fill port is located on the side of the pod, above the device when installed. While not a true top-fill design, the pods still offer convenience and leak-free performance.
The pods feature VOOPOO’s iCOSM Code technology, which claims to provide a clean experience, original freshness, smooth airflow, and multiple interpretations. VOOPOO states that these coils can last up to 90ml of e-liquid without burning out, demonstrating excellent coil life.
The 0.7Ω pod excels at MTL vaping, performing best between 10-15W and handling high-strength nicotine salts effectively. The 0.4Ω pod caters to restricted DL vaping or a very loose MTL draw, capable of handling up to 30W and shining with lower-strength e-liquids or freebase nicotine.
Performance and Vaping Experience
The VOOPOO ARGUS A delivers impressive performance for a pod system. The 0.7Ω pod provides a satisfying MTL experience, capturing nuances in flavor and offering a warm vape. With the airflow fully open, the 0.7Ω pod can even provide a decent restricted DL hit.
The 0.4Ω pod shines when it comes to flavor production and a more powerful vape, particularly with the airflow wide open and the wattage set around 25W. The airflow adjustment slider allows for fine-tuning the draw to suit individual preferences, although it may not satisfy those seeking a true wide-open DL experience.
Battery life on the ARGUS A is solid, with the 0.7Ω pod lasting about a day and a half of heavy use at moderate wattage before requiring a recharge. The 0.4Ω pod at higher wattages drains the battery faster, lasting about a day. However, the quick USB-C charging and passthrough vaping feature minimize downtime.
The device has proven reliable, with no leaking issues and impressive coil longevity. The flavor remains strong even after multiple refills.
