ARGUS G3 Mini by VOOPOO: Simple, Sleek, and Surprisingly Powerful

The VOOPOO ARGUS G3 Mini packs a 1500mAh battery, up to 30W output, and works with 2mL Argus Pods. It features draw-activation, a GENE.AI chip for stable performance, and includes a 0.7Ω pod with fast USB-C charging.

In this review, I’m testing the new VOOPOO ARGUS G3 Mini—a compact, lightweight pod vape with a 1350mAh battery and a 3mL 0.7Ω top-fill pod. It’s compatible with previous ARGUS pods and uses the upgraded iCOSM CODE 2.0 tech for better leak protection and coil life. With no airflow control, it’s designed for simple MTL vaping and ideal for beginners using nic salts.

Build quality and design

In this review, I’m testing the new VOOPOO ARGUS G3 Mini—a compact, lightweight pod vape with a 1350mAh battery and a 3mL 0.7Ω top-fill pod. It’s compatible with previous ARGUS pods and uses the upgraded iCOSM CODE 2.0 tech for better leak protection and coil life. With no airflow control, it’s designed for simple MTL vaping and ideal for beginners using nic salts.

Getting started

The VOOPOO ARGUS G3 Mini is as simple as vaping gets—no buttons, no settings, just inhale to vape. It comes with a pre-installed pod; just remove it, peel the sticker, fill it up, wait five minutes, and you’re good to go.

Performance

I’ve tested many ARGUS pods, and their coils are consistently solid. The G3 Mini only includes one 0.7Ω pod, which is a downside—it should come with two.

That said, the vape is smooth, with a comfortable MTL draw and great flavor. It stays cool and consistent, and after 30mL of use, the coil still performs like new. Plus, it’s compatible with all ARGUS pods, giving you plenty of options—just wish they included more than one in the box.

Battery life and charging

The G3 Mini is rated at 1350mAh and 5V/1A charging, but real-world performance shows a usable battery of around 1070mAh. Charging peaks at 0.67A and takes about 1 hour and 54 minutes for a full charge. It hits 90% in roughly 92 minutes, which is decent, but overall charging is a bit slower than advertised. Still, not bad for a small device.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Cons

  • Solid build quality
  • Very lightweight but durable
  • Strong magnets for the pods
  • Good flavor
  • Great coil life
  • Beginner-friendly (no adjustments, inhale-to-vape)
  • Great battery life for a compact pod (1070 mAh usable)
  • Pods are tinted, would prefer clear pods
  • Pod design makes refilling a bit slow
  • Overrated charge rate (0.67A tested, 1A rated)
  • Slow charging (almost two hours to 100%)

CONCLUSION

The ARGUS G3 Mini is a simple yet high-performing vape. It’s well-built, affordable, and offers excellent flavor and coil life with the V2 pods. The airflow feels just right, though charging is a bit slow—possibly by design to protect battery life.

Overall, it’s a great choice for beginners looking to quit smoking and a solid backup for experienced vapers who want something compact and reliable.
