Packaging
VooPoo's packaging, which practically all of us already know. In the foreground, we find an image of the device, which in this case matches the chosen color, and from what I've been looking at, each color has its own packaging. At the top, we can find some branding that indicates both the brand and the product model, in this case, Argus G3.
The decoration of the box is quite nice and follows VooPoo's usual style. The colors complement the image very well and try to maintain the same aesthetic. In short, it's packaging that quickly catches the eye, so to speak.
On the back, the first thing we can observe is the contents of the box:
1* Argus G3 Device
1* Argus Top Fill Cartridge V2 0.4Ω
1* Argus Top Fill Cartridge V2 0.7Ω
1* Argus Pod Family Compatibility Guide
1* Type-C Cable
1* Lanyard
1* User Manual
Quite complete and with two coils, to be able to have two different experiences. Furthermore, we find some contact addresses, some warning logos, some warnings, and a sticker that indicates this is a sample unit, so several things could vary in relation to the final product.

Device
I want to show you this perspective of the device now so we can talk about it generally. As you can see, its shape is clearly a stick type, something very comfortable in the hand, especially thanks to its weight of 65g (63g measured on one scale). Well, thanks to both the ergonomic factor and the weight, it is a very comfortable device in the hand and can be held perfectly with just the lips (call me weird, but I like to do it from time to time). As for this specific color, you can see the transition from a light pink, like a strawberry and cream lollipop, to a darker purple/violet, all accompanied by small, let's call them "waves," which are not very noticeable on camera at least.
In the center of the device, we find the screen, which as you can see has a chrome pink border with a relief and, why not say it, quite a bit of shine. This chrome pink is found around all the corners of the device; for example, if we look closely at the cartridge connection, we can also find it. Furthermore, I'll add that in the aesthetics, there are glitter-like dots scattered around, at least on this specific unit. Finally, on this front part, we find the model name in the lower central area.
On one of the sides, we find the airflow inlet, composed of exactly three holes of the same size. In my opinion, it filters the air very, very well and can offer us a very satisfying MTL if used in combination with the appropriate Ω coil. Regarding the tightness, I wouldn't mind it being a bit tighter; in fact, I would quite like it, but it's very good, and at least for me, it hasn't moved unintentionally; it has always stayed in the right place.
On the other side, we can find the button, which of course has certain functions. Let's describe them in an orderly and brief manner:

- 5 Clicks to turn it on.
- If it's already on, 5 Clicks to access the menu, from which we can turn it off, reset the puff counter, lock the button, or simply exit the menu.
- 3 Clicks to change the wattage. This increases or decreases in 1W steps, up to a maximum of 30W, and then the cycle restarts from 5W.
- 2 Clicks to switch between modes or themes, which include Smart, Sport, and Music.
- By holding down the button, we can turn the screen on or off only, in case we are looking for discreet vaping or simply don't want to see it on.
The button has a very short travel, and honestly, the click isn't very pleasant. Obviously, it's not like a mod, nor does it have to be; it serves its purpose and little else.
I would now like to show you the screen with the main theme, so to speak, as well as talk about the different themes and animations that this Argus G3 brings.
Well, this is the UI of the Smart mode, and in my opinion, it is the most complete and the easiest to read, so to speak. In this case, it shows us:
Well, this is the UI of the Smart mode, and in my opinion, it is the most complete and the easiest to read, so to speak. In this case, it shows us:
- Battery indicator, both in percentage and bar form.
- Resistance indicator, Ω.
- Power indicator in Watts.
- Lock, which shows us if it is locked or not.
- Five-digit puff counter.
In Sport mode, practically the same information is shown, but due to the typography used and the mix of colors, I find it difficult to read at a single glance. Additionally, this mode implements a small animation when taking a puff.
The same thing happens completely in Music mode, although it is not as exaggerated; we can still notice at a glance what the screen shows us. This mode also implements a guitar animation when taking a puff.
The screen resolution is honestly very good, and it also has enough brightness to be seen on the street as well.
