The ARGUS Pod Family’s 2024 lineup brings two standout devices: the budget-friendly ARGUS G2 mini and the premium ARGUS G3. Both promise smooth vaping, long battery life, and versatile airflow, but they cater to different crowds. If you’re torn between affordability and luxury or portability and power, let’s break down how these siblings stack up.
Design
ARGUS G2 mini keeps it simple and sleek. Its slim, lightweight design (115mm tall) feels like a natural extension of your hand, wrapped in aluminum alloy and PC for durability. The matte finish and rainbow of color options—like Violet Pink and Moonlit Gray—give it a playful, understated vibe. No screen here; instead, a subtle LED light at the base indicates battery life. It’s the kind of device you’d toss in a pocket without a second thought.
ARGUS G3, on the other hand, screams sophistication. With diamond-edged metal panels and a 0.96-inch TFT color screen, it’s like holding a tiny piece of tech art. The zinc alloy body adds heft without feeling bulky, and finishes like Diamond White or Moss Green ooze elegance. That screen isn’t just for show—it displays themes (Smart, Sport, Music) and animations, making every puff feel personalized. If the G2 mini is your reliable jeans-and-tee companion, the G3 is the sleek watch you wear to impress.
Features
Battery & Power:
- G2 mini packs a 1200mAh battery, lasting up to 3 days on a charge. Perfect for weekend trips, though its 1A charging means you’ll need patience.
- G3 flexes a 1500mAh battery (5 days!) and 45-minute fast charging (5V/2A). It’s the marathon runner of the duo, ideal for forgetful chargers or heavy users.
Performance & Customization:
Both hit 30W max power and use VOOPOO’s GENE chips, but the G3’s GENE.AI 2.0 adds sharper responsiveness and safety upgrades (like anti-reverse battery protection). The G2 mini relies on its AI chip to auto-match power to coils—great for beginners who want simplicity.
Cartridges & Flavor:
- G2 mini uses the ARGUS Cartridge Flavor 2.0, praised for leak resistance and 90ml coil lifespan. Its top-fill 3ml pod is hassle-free.
- G3 steps up with iCOSM CODE 2.0 and Cartridge V2, boasting 100ml coil endurance and a “Liquid-Seal Shield” for 30 days of leak-free use. Flavor chasers might notice slightly richer notes here.
Adjustability:
Both allow precise airflow control (MTL to RDL), but the G3 adds manual wattage adjustment via buttons. Pair that with its smooth airflow dial, and veterans can fine-tune every detail. The G2 mini sticks to auto-draw and airflow tweaks—less control, but fewer distractions.
Extras:
- G3’s screen is a game-changer: check battery, toggle themes, or just admire the animations.
- G2 mini’s LED light is practical but basic, glowing white or red to signal battery status.
Conclusion
Choose the ARGUS G2 mini if:
- You’re budget-conscious but crave reliability.
- A compact size and a 3-day battery are priorities.
- You prefer “set it and forget it” vaping with solid flavor.
Splurge on the ARGUS G3 if:
- You want a stylish, future-proof device with a premium feel.
- The screen, faster charging, and extra battery life justify the price jump.
- Manual wattage control and upgraded coils matter for your flavor journey.
Both devices prove that VOOPOO’s ARGUS line has something for everyone. The G2 mini is your everyday workhorse, while the VOOPOO G3 is the flashy thoroughbred. Whether you’re chasing value or luxury, neither will leave you hanging.
