Build quality and design
The ARGUS Pro 2 is a sturdy and durable pod mod, larger than traditional MTL pods due to its 3000mAh battery and high wattage output. Weighing 155g, it features a 0.96-inch color screen, adjustment buttons, a fire button, and a convenient lock switch for added functionality.
The ARGUS Pro 2 features a fully colored body with seven stylish color options, including gradient designs like Lake Blue, which transitions from royal blue to seafoam green. Its leather back complements the classy, rugged aesthetic, resembling the Geekvape Aegis line.
Getting started
The ARGUS Pro 2 is a semi-advanced DL pod system with straightforward operation. Key features include:
Usage
Press the fire button 5 times to power on/off.
Adjust wattage with up/down buttons or access the menu by pressing them simultaneously.
Slide up to lock the device fully and prevent accidental firing or adjustments.
Pod Tank
Adjustable top airflow for DL or RDL vaping
Easy magnetic attachment and secure fit
Visible, clear pod for easy juice monitoring
Filling
Simple bottom-fill system with a rubber plug for the fill hole
The device offers excellent usability, strong magnets for stability, and intuitive features, making it a solid choice for DL vapers.
Performance
The VOOPOO ARGUS Pro 2 is designed for RDL to DL vaping and includes two mesh coils:
Included Coils:
0.3-ohm (32-40W, best at 40W) – Decent for 30-40W DL vaping but lacks punch for stronger DL preferences.
0.15-ohm (60-80W, best at 70W) – Great flavor and coil life (up to 100mL), but higher wattage reduces battery life.
Optional Coils (Not Included) :
0.6-ohm (18-23W) and 0.2-ohm (40-60W)
While the tank is too airy for proper MTL, the 0.15-ohm coil makes the device a solid portable DL option. For better compatibility, the 0.2-ohm coil would have been a preferable inclusion
Battery life and charging
The VOOPOO ARGUS Pro 2 has a 3000mAh internal battery with USB-C charging under a dustproof cover. Key points:
Charge Rate: Listed as 2A but tested at 1.49A. Charges in ~90 minutes, reaching ~70% in an hour.
Battery Capacity: Usable capacity is ~2100mAh, below the rated 3000mAh. Performance drops below 18%, especially with the 0.15-ohm coil.
Usage: Needs recharging during the day for DL vaping with high-wattage coils.
Features: Includes a live percentage display while charging but lacks passthrough vaping, which is a drawback
Pros and Cons
Pros
Cons
Solid build quality
Rugged and durable
Small enough to be pocketable
Good flavor and life from the 0.15-ohm coil
Charges fast enough (90 minutes)
Great capacity (5 mL)
No passthrough vaping
Overrated battery rating (2100 mAh)
Overrated charge rating (1.49A)
Not really suitable for MTL with what I got to test
Confusing names for the modes
The 0.2-ohm coil should have been included over the 0.3-ohm one
CONCLUSION
The VOOPOO ARGUS Pro 2 has some quirks but performs well with the 0.15-ohm coil, delivering strong DL performance. The 0.2-ohm coil could enhance battery life. If you’re looking for a stylish, rugged, and portable DL pod mod and can overlook a few cons, it’s worth considering.
