Review: Argus Z – Voopoo

The Argus Z by Voopoo is a small, practical and easy-to-use pod. It’s fully automatic and works perfectly if you’re looking for a quality vape, any day of the week. It’s the ideal product if you’re starting out in vaping or want a back-up device.

A back-to-basics pod

At just over 9 cm in height, the Argus Z is a compact, discreet pod. Its finish is excellent and most of the battery housing is covered in metal. The inscriptions on the body are fine and well-designed. On the top of the pod there’s a USB-C port for fast charging the 900 mAh battery.

The battery life is as it should be for this size of device. You can vape while it’s charging, which is an improvement on some recent products from the same manufacturer which don’t offer this option.

The upper part of the battery body has a grooved design. It is very comfortable to hold and the grip is great. This section features 3 LEDs that light up when it is making vapour and during recharging. It’s easy to see the battery level too.

 The pod comes with a tank. With a 0.7 ohm coil, the cartridge holds 2 ml of e-liquid. This is average for pods of this size. The mouthpiece it comes with is for indirect inhalation (into your mouth then into your lungs, like a tobacco cigarette). There’s no fire button, so it works automatically when you inhale.

The cartridge contains a sealed coil. When it wears out, you have to throw away and replace the entire tank. This is quite handy as you won’t need any special skills to change the coil. But changing the entire cartridge uses a lot of plastic that could potentially be reused.

You fill the tank in the usual way, by lifting the silicone tab. That reveals a filling hole. It only works with narrow bottle tips, so use that type for ease.
The Argus Z is a nice pod to use. There are no settings to adjust or buttons. It’s all automatic.

It fires fast and makes vapour quickly too. We didn’t notice any lag at all with this pod.
But there is a slight humming sound when you puff. The pod isn’t completely silent when you inhale, but it’s certainly not off-putting.
It makes excellent vapour and we got the best results with fruit-flavoured e-liquids. It works by indirect inhalation although it’s quite powerful and will suit fans of powerful MTL.

Self-taught and curious by nature, I developed my journalistic skills in the field by joining the Vaping Post in 2017. As a former smoker who converted to vaping, I immediately felt the need to understand in detail all aspects of this smoking risk reduction method that has enabled me to successfully quit smoking where previous methods had failed.
review-argus-z-voopooThe Argus Z is a good, compact pod. With no settings or buttons, it makes vapour when you inhale. Designed for indirect inhalation, it delivers high quality flavours. We just wish it didn’t use disposable cartridges.
