Design & Build Quality
At first glance, the Argus G3 is a perfect balance of minimalist and modern. Smooth curves, solid build, and that midnight black finish with subtle wave patterns—this thing oozes quality without screaming for attention.
The 0.96″ TFT screen is bright, colorful, and customizable with multiple themes and animations. If you want flash, it’s there. If you prefer stealth, stealth mode turns the lights off and keeps it classy.
On the practical side, the adjustable airflow slider offers excellent control for both MTL and RDL styles. And while the function button does rattle slightly, it’s the only minor blemish on an otherwise premium build.
Performance: The iCOSM 2.0 Difference
The iCOSM CODE 2.0 pod system is the beating heart of the G3—and it’s not just marketing fluff. With golden cotton, dual-layer wicking, and a mega-core structure, these pods deliver insanely clean and consistent flavor.
0.4Ω Pod (RDL):
-
Ideal at 27–30W
-
Produces warm, flavorful vapor with thick clouds
-
Best with 70VG juices
-
Surprisingly smooth for a restricted lung hit
0.7Ω Pod (MTL):
-
Sweet spot at 18–22W
-
Cleanest flavor I’ve ever had in a pod device
-
Works beautifully with 50/50 nic salts
-
Leak-resistant and long-lasting (still great after 20ml)
This isn’t just “good for a pod”—it’s best-in-class flavor. Hands down, one of the top MTL experiences I’ve had to date.
Battery & Charging
Let’s be real: 1500mAh is solid. But what makes the G3 shine is the 38-minute full recharge via USB-C. That’s not a typo. It’s faster than most phones.
In MTL mode at 0.7Ω, I got a full day’s use comfortably. In RDL with the 0.4Ω pod at 28–30W? You’ll need a mid-day top-up, especially if you chain vape. But with 2A fast charging, it’s barely an inconvenience.
Display & User Experience
Navigating the G3 is intuitive:
-
1 Click – Wake screen
-
2 Clicks – Switch themes
-
3 Clicks – Adjust wattage
-
5 Clicks – Open menu (power off, lock, puff clear)
-
Long Press – Activate stealth mode
Smart mode even automatically sets the wattage for each pod, and prevents you from exceeding it—a nice touch for beginners.
Another subtle win: insert a pod and the screen flashes its resistance and suggested wattage. It’s the little things that make a difference.
Airflow Control & Draw Style
MTL fans rejoice: even with the airflow slider halfway open, you get a satisfying, tight draw. Open it up, and the RDL pod delivers surprisingly full-bodied vapor for a device this small.
It’s clear Voopoo built this for true dual-style performance, not just a half-baked nod to RDL.
Pod Lifespan & Leak Control
The top-fill design (which is actually side-fill near the top) is super convenient (no pod removal needed). The pod structure eliminates wasted e-liquid and prevents leaking with a sealed copper sleeve, improving leak resistance by over 80%.
So far, I’ve pushed 25ml through the 0.7Ω pod and flavor remains as fresh as day one. That’s insane value.
Pros

Can’t stand it upright.
Conclusion: Best Pod 2025 Contender? 100%.
The Voopoo Argus G3 isn’t just another pod vape, it’s a benchmark for what pod systems should strive to be. With flawless flavor delivery, lightning-fast charging, smart wattage controls, and killer ergonomics, it’s a no-brainer recommendation.
Whether you’re a first-time vaper, a flavor chaser, or someone tired of leaky pods and dull designs, the G3 is a device that truly earns its place among the best pods of 2025.
