The next evolution of the ‘Argus G’ series of pod mods is here, with the Voopoo Argus G3!
Here on Ecigclick, we are big fans of Voopoo Argus pod mods, reviewing a lot of these in the past such as the Argus Bar Pro Max, Argus Bar Prime Disposable, Argus E40, Argus G2 Mini and most recently the Voopoo Argus Z2.
This follows on from the very popular Voopoo Argus G2, which received high praise from us when we reviewed it back in 2024.
What Can We Expect From The Voopoo Argus G3?
Voopoo are looking to provide the ultimate experience for vapers with the Argus G3 with a pod mod that outshines others when it comes to flavour, power, style and convenience!
Powered by the revolutionary iCOSM CODE 2.0 (iCOSM 2.0), the new Argus Top Fill Cartridge V2 makes its debut as part of the Argus G3 kit, with something truly different at the heart of it.
At the heart of these new pods is a ground-breaking BIG COIL (yes, in all caps!) which features an innovative Liquid-Seal Shield, Mega-Core with e-liquid speed control Golden Cotton.
A unique proprietary technology is harnessed to provide a leak free experience, with a fully-wrapped copper sleeve around the coil, creating a dense e-liquid film covering 99% of the internal surface and improving e-liquid locking capabilities by 83%, three times that of conventional coils.
The Mega-Core ensures instant saturation of the cotton and a consistent flow of e-liquid, eliminating flavour inconsistency. This design results in a full flavoured and smooth vape on every single puff.
Golden Cotton had me intrigued, and as it turns out this is made from aerospace materials to provide excellent heat resistance. Golden Cotton can handle up to a phenomenal 260C, whereas regular cotton will begin to break down at 150C.
This means you get much longer lifespan from your Argus Top Fill Cartridge V2 pod than others- up to 100ml worth of e-liquid without losing flavour or performance!
Now, the Voopoo Argus G3 isn’t all about the new Argus Top Fill Cartridge V2, it has plenty of other tricks up its sleeve too!
You can effortlessly switch between mouth-to-lung (MTL) and restricted direct-to-lung (RDL) vaping styles as the Voopoo Argus G3 offers both wattage and airflow adjustment, with a maximum output power of 30W.
Compatibility
We love that VOOPOO keep the Argus family of pod vapes are compatible with all the different Argus pods. So it you have an Argus with spare pods, you can use them with the G3.
Features
A robust, high-density 1500mAh battery provides up to five days of use from a single charge, and the Argus G3 can be fully charged within 45 minutes thanks to 5V/2A fast charging.
There’s a 0.96″ TFT colour screen with a metal and diamond styled border, these creative textures and gradient colours on the body of the device adding a touch of sophistication to the design.
You can customise the theme too, with three themes and two vaping animations to customise your vaping experience.
Many thanks to Voopoo for sending the Argus G3 in for review, let’s see what this latest Argus G series version offers!
As always, all views are my own…

Design & Build Quality
If you’ve ever held an Argus pod system before, then you will know what to expect here.
Sleek lines, comfortable curves and rounded edges- exactly what I find on the Voopoo Argus G3!
Measurements wise, you’ve got a pod system that measures in at 120mm x 26.4mm x 15.1mm and weighs in at 65g.
Nine different colours are available, with Diamond White, Diamond Pink, Snow Blue, Moss Green, Aurora Blue, Aurora Purple, Pearl White, Space Gray and Midnight Black.
Display
An eye-catching feature on the Argus G3 is the 0.96″ TFT colour screen, which sits in the upper centre of the device.
This displays the battery life, coil resistance, output power and a puff count, and can be customised with three different themes and two different animations.
On one side of the device is the airflow control system, which features smooth travel and is easily operated by using my thumb, and on the opposite side to this is the power button.
There’s a fairly short throw on the power button and I did feel that there was some rattle present too.
As with previous Argus pods, the new Argus Top Fill Cartridge V2 pod connects magnetically to the device and is held firmly in place, with no rattle that I could pick up on.
Quick Start Guide
How to Fill the Pod
Two Argus Top Fill Cartridge V2 pods are included in the box, which can be filled up without even having to remove the pod from the Argus G3 device.
These pods have been designed so that you can see the full e-liquid capacity and check exactly how much liquid is left in the pod at a glance.
- At the side of the pod, near the top, is a silicone filling port cover that just needs to be lifted up in order to access the filling port, which is large enough to accept pretty much any e-liquid bottle nozzle.
- Pop the nozzle of your selected e-liquid bottle in, and fill the pod up, taking care not to overfill it otherwise it will leak out of the side.
If you are filling up a brand new Argus Top Fill Cartridge V2 pod for the first time, let the e-liquid sit in the pod for five minutes before you start to vape, this allows the cotton in the coil to fully absorb the e-liquid, which in turn prolongs the lifespan of the pod and cuts down on the risk of burnt hits happening.
Operation
You can just fill up a pod and get vaping with the Argus G3, thanks to the auto draw system and smart mode automatically setting an output power depending on the coil resistance, but this device also has a few different options available to customise your vaping experience.
- To power the Voopoo Argus G3 on, click the function button three times.
- Click the function button twice to enter the mode selection menu, which allows you to switch between the different themes
- Three clicks of the function button allows you to adjust the wattage in 1W increments
- Five clicks of the function button takes you into the function menu, allowing you to power the device off, clear the puff count or lock the function button.
- Software can be upgraded by using the included Type-C cable and visiting the official Voopoo website.
Charging
A charging port is located at the base of the Argus G3, meaning that you will need to lay the device on its side to charge it.
A Type-C cable is included in the box for charging the device.
5V/2A charging is included in the Argus G3, so the 1500mAh battery charges up from flat to full in as little as 45 minutes!
Safety Features
- 8 second vaping overtime protection
- Short-circuit protection
- Low battery protection
- Overcharge protection
- Overheating protection
- Output over-current protection
- Anti-reverse battery protection
How Does The Voopoo Argus G3 Perform?
As mentioned in the beginning of the review, the Argus Top Fill Cartridge V2 pod makes its debut alongside the Voopoo Argus G3, and included in the kit is a 0.4ohm and a 0.7ohm pod so there are MTL and RDL vaping options out of the box, and both are a great fit for 10mg and 20mg nicotine salt e-liquids.
The Argus G3 is compatible with the Argus pod family as well, so you can make use of existing Argus pods!
Plenty of power is packed into this pod system, with an output power range of 5-30W available.
Flavour
Out of the box, the Argus G3 has the 0.7ohm Argus Top Fill Cartridge V2 pre-installed, which I immediately switched for the 0.4ohm version as I am predominantly a restricted direct-to-lung vaper!
I started off at 25W but felt that this pod performed best in the 27-30W range, depending on the e-liquid.
Argus pods have been some of my favourites when it comes to flavour delivery but the 0.4ohm Argus Top Fill Cartridge V2 tops the lot.
The flavour just feels even cleaner, crisper and smoother than it ever has!
The 0.7ohm pod is suited more to lower power vaping and a tighter draw, I felt that this pod worked best for MTL vaping as RDL draws felt a little weak and underpowered.
It’s still a flavour monster for a MTL pod, much like the 0.4ohm RDL one!
There’s definitely a noticeable improvement here over the original Argus Top Fill Cartridges, Voopoo really are pushing flavour delivery to the next level!
Pod Lifespan
I’ve always been impressed with the lifespan that I get from Argus pods, and the Argus Top Fill Cartridge V2
I was sent two Argus G3 devices for review, I’ve been running one of them with a 0.4ohm Argus Top Fill Cartridge V2 and another with a 0.7ohm one, after over a week of solid use these show absolutely no signs of letting up.
There’s no noticeable flavour degradation and the vape is just as good as it was the day that I started to use them.
Top marks there Voopoo!
Airflow
On the side of the device is the airflow control, which allows for a restricted direct to lung vape when fully open, and this can be closed right down to a tight mouth to lung vape.
As expected from a Voopoo device, the Argus G3 is no slouch when it comes to clouds, even the vapour produced from a mouth to lung vape is pretty impressive!
Battery Life
A 1500mAh battery is built into the device, rechargeable with a USB Type-C cable. This is the same capacity as the battery found with the recently reviewed Argus Z2.
When vaping under 20W and using the 0.7ohm, I have no problems getting through a whole day without needing to recharge the Argus G3.
It does fall a little flat when using the 0.4ohm pod north of 25W however, lasting only around half a day on average especially with my chain vaping habits! That does mean that I need to carry a second device out and about with me as a backup.
Pros
- Superb, clean and smooth tasting vape
- Excellent pod lifespan
- Charges up very quickly
- Easy to use, beginner friendly pod system
- Plenty of power
- MTL and RDL vaping options
Cons
- Power button has some rattle
- Battery life drains quickly at high wattage
- Coils consume a lot of e-liquid
Final Verdict
From having the pleasure of reviewing many of the Voopoo Argus pod mods over the years, I know that whenever I get a new one, I’m going to be in for a superb tasting vape!
That is what Argus devices do best, and the G3 is the latest to deliver on this front thanks to the new Argus Top Fill Cartridge V2.
Voopoo have raised the bar with the new Argus Top Fill Cartridge V2 and produced a pod that delivers incredibly crisp and smooth flavour, really allowing you to pick up on all the nuances and flavour notes in your e-liquids.
Plus, like previous Argus pods, these last an absolute age too, saving you money in the long run!
Voopoo are positioning themselves right at the top of the pod system market and the Argus G3 is another outstanding addition to their already stellar line up.
Many thanks to Voopoo for sending the Argus G3 in for review!
