VOOPOO Argus G4 Vape Kit

Introduction

The VOOPOO Argus G4 is a refillable pod kit for vapers who want one small device that covers a tight, cigarette-like MTL draw and a warmer restricted-lung hit, at £17.99. It runs 5 to 35W from a built-in 1650mAh battery, has a 0.85-inch colour screen, and takes three Argus Multi-Ohm pod resistances so you can set your own draw. Best for a switcher or intermediate vaper who wants control; if you want the simplest one-button device, the G4 Mini suits you better.

Key Specs Customers Check

• Battery: 1650mAh built-in. Comfortably a full day of MTL vaping, recharged over USB-C in roughly 55 minutes.
• Output: 5 to 35W adjustable. Low end for tight MTL, up to 35W for a warmer restricted-lung hit.
• Screen: 0.85-inch TFT. Shows wattage, coil resistance and battery so you always know your setting.
• Pod: 2ml Argus Multi-Ohm, top-fill. UK TPD capacity, filled from the top so there is no mess.
• Coils: 0.4, 0.7 and 1.0 ohm. Three draws in one kit, each detected automatically by the chip.
• Chip: GENE.AI 3.0. Recognises the pod resistance and sets a safe wattage range for you.
• Airflow: adjustable. A side dial tightens the draw for MTL or opens it for restricted lung.
• In the box: 2 pods. Two 2ml pods included, so you can keep two draws or two e-liquids on the go.

Pick Your Inhale: MTL vs Restricted Lung

MTL (mouth-to-lung) is the tight, cigarette-like draw most ex-smokers want. Restricted lung (RDL) is a warmer, airier hit with more vapour. The Argus G4 does both, and the pod resistance sets which:

• 1.0 ohm, MTL, 5 to 14W: tightest, most cigarette-like draw. Start here if you are switching from smoking or disposables.
• 0.7 ohm, MTL or restricted lung, 5 to 18W: the all-rounder, a slightly warmer MTL or a gentle lung hit.
• 0.4 ohm, restricted lung, up to 35W: the airiest, warmest draw with the most vapour, for lung inhaling.

Key Features

• Three draws, one kit: swap the pod resistance to move between tight MTL and restricted lung without buying another device.
• Auto coil detection: the GENE.AI 3.0 chip reads the pod and sets a safe wattage, so beginners cannot dry-burn a coil.
• Top-fill pods: lift the stopper and fill from the top, no leaking around the base.
• Adjustable airflow: fine-tune the draw tightness on the fly.
• Colour screen: live wattage, resistance and battery readout, rare at this price.
• iCOSM 2.0 flavour system: mesh-style pod built to keep flavour clean through the coil's life.

Coils and E-Liquid Pairing

The right e-liquid depends on the pod. For the 1.0 and 0.7 ohm MTL pods, use a 50/50 or high-PG nic salt for a smooth throat hit, typically 10mg or 20mg for ex-smokers. For the 0.4 ohm restricted-lung pod, use a high-VG (70%+) shortfill around 3mg to 6mg. Heavier smokers suit 20mg salt on MTL, lighter vapers 10mg. Stock up on 10ml nic salt e-liquids for the MTL pods.

Battery, Coil Life and Running Cost

The 1650mAh battery lasts most MTL vapers a full day, with heavier restricted-lung use needing a mid-day USB-C top-up. Each Argus Multi-Ohm pod lasts roughly one to two weeks before flavour drops off, depending on the e-liquid and how hard you vape. A refillable pod plus your own e-liquid works out far cheaper than a fresh disposable every day, so the Argus G4 pays for itself quickly.

Compatibility and Refills

The Argus G4 uses the Argus Multi-Ohm pod cartridge in 0.4, 0.7 and 1.0 ohms. Keep spares so you always have a fresh coil ready, and browse Voopoo replacement pods and coils for refills. Always match the exact cartridge name rather than assuming an older Argus pod fits.

How to Set Up and Make It Last Longer

Setup

1. Charge the device fully over USB-C before first use.
2. Open the top stopper and fill the pod with your e-liquid, then close it.
3. Fit the pod and wait 5 minutes so the coil fully soaks, which prevents a burnt first hit.
4. Set your wattage for the pod (low for 1.0 ohm MTL, higher for 0.4 ohm lung) and adjust the airflow to taste.

Make It Last Longer

• Prime every new pod for 5 minutes and avoid chain vaping so the coil never runs dry.
• Refill before the pod runs low rather than vaping it empty.
• Store upright, away from heat and direct sunlight.
• Wipe the battery contacts if flavour weakens, and replace the pod once taste fades.

Price Comparison

As of July 2026, the VOOPOO Argus G4 is £17.99 here. Vape Club and Ecigone list it at around £23.99, and Vape Universe at around £18.99, so VOS sits at the lower end of the live UK range. On running cost, a 2ml refill of your own e-liquid costs pennies against buying a disposable daily. Compare it with other Voopoo vape kits and the wider refillable pod kits range to find your fit.

Best Colours

The Argus G4 comes in Black, Silver, Blue, Orange, Grey, Green, Purple and Brown. Black and Silver are the steady sellers for a discreet, classic look for pocket or work carry. Blue, Green and Purple stand out more, while Orange and Brown are the distinctive picks for collectors who like a warmer tone.

Community Insights

UK reviewers on vape forums report the leak-proof pod design holds up well, with no leaking even after regular refills. A common setup note is that the pod needs a short break-in period before flavour peaks, which the 5-minute priming step above covers. Reviewers also rate the auto coil detection for taking the guesswork out of wattage.

Pro Tips

FAQ

Is the VOOPOO Argus G4 good for MTL or DTL?

Both. The 1.0 ohm pod gives a tight MTL draw, the 0.7 ohm a warmer MTL or gentle lung hit, and the 0.4 ohm an airy restricted-lung draw up to 35W. You choose by swapping the pod resistance.

Which coils fit the Argus G4?

It uses the Argus Multi-Ohm pod cartridge in 0.4, 0.7 and 1.0 ohms. Match that exact cartridge name when buying refills rather than assuming an older Argus pod fits.

How long does the battery last?

The 1650mAh battery covers a full day for most MTL vapers. Heavy restricted-lung use may need one USB-C top-up, which takes around 55 minutes for a full charge.

What e-liquid should I use?

Use 50/50 or high-PG nic salt for the 1.0 and 0.7 ohm MTL pods, and a high-VG shortfill at 3mg to 6mg for the 0.4 ohm lung pod. Nic salt gives ex-smokers the smoothest throat hit.

Why does my pod taste burnt?

The coil was likely vaped before it soaked. Fill the pod, wait 5 minutes, and avoid chain vaping. Refill before it runs low so the wick never dries out.

What is the difference between the Argus G4 and G4 Mini?

The G4 has adjustable wattage, a colour screen, a 0.4 ohm lung pod and two pods included. The G4 Mini is a simpler draw-activated device with no screen and two resistances.

Is the Argus G4 a good switch from disposables?

Yes. It gives the same tight MTL hit as a disposable, but you refill a 2ml pod with your own e-liquid, far cheaper over a week and less wasteful.
