VOOPOO Argus G4 Review UK – In-Store Tested at Smoketronics
Share
The VOOPOO Argus G4 Pod Kit has been tested in-store by Carl at Smoketronics Lewes using both nicotine salts and freebase e-liquids across a range of MTL (mouth-to-lung) and RDL (restricted direct-to-lung) vaping styles.
Featuring a 1650mAh built-in battery, 35W maximum output and VOOPOO's brand-new Multi-Ohm pod technology, the Argus G4 aims to simplify pod vaping by offering multiple vaping styles from a single replacement pod.
The VOOPOO Argus G4 is now available online and across all Smoketronics stores.

Real-World Performance – In-Store Testing at Smoketronics Lewes
First Impressions
The first thing Carl noticed was how premium the Argus G4 feels.
Despite housing a larger 1650mAh battery than many pod devices, it remains slim, lightweight and comfortable to carry. The full metal body gives it a reassuring quality feel without adding unnecessary weight.
The new 0.85" display is bright, easy to read and provides clear information including battery level, wattage, resistance and puff count without feeling cluttered.
Multi-Ohm Pods – One Pod, Three Different Vapes
The standout feature of the Argus G4 is its new ARGUS Multi-Ohm Pod.
Instead of buying separate pods for different resistances, VOOPOO has developed a pod that allows users to switch between:
- 0.4Ω for a warmer RDL vape with increased vapour production
- 0.7Ω for a balanced loose MTL or restricted direct-to-lung draw
- 1.0Ω for a tighter cigarette-style inhale that's ideal for nicotine salts
Changing resistance is straightforward.
On the G4, the device uses VOOPOO's new Multi-Core Electrode Technology to detect the selected resistance automatically. Switching between 0.7Ω and 1.0Ω is achieved by rotating the pod, while 0.4Ω is activated by double-pressing the device button. The chipset then adjusts the wattage automatically for the selected resistance.
In practice, it works surprisingly well and removes the need to carry multiple pods depending on which e-liquid you're using.

Flavour Performance – Where the Argus G4 Really Excels
For us, this is where the Argus G4 separates itself from many other pod systems.
VOOPOO's new bottom-fed Multi-Ohm pod keeps the coil consistently supplied with e-liquid, helping deliver stable flavour throughout the life of the pod. Combined with iCOSM CODE 2.0 technology, flavour remains clean and consistent even during longer vaping sessions.
During testing we found:
- Excellent flavour accuracy
- Very consistent vapour production
- No dry hits during extended use
- Smooth performance even when chain vaping
Our tester Carl's favourite setting was 0.7Ω.
It offers what feels like the sweet spot between flavour, warmth and battery efficiency. Whether using nicotine salts or lower-strength freebase liquids, the vape felt smooth, responsive and consistently enjoyable.
The 1.0Ω setting also impressed when paired with the airflow almost fully closed, producing a genuinely satisfying MTL draw that closely mimics the restriction many ex-smokers prefer.
Battery Life – 1650mAh Performance
Battery life is another area where the Argus G4 performs extremely well.
The 1650mAh battery is noticeably larger than many pod kits currently available, yet the device remains compact enough for everyday carry.
During our testing:
- MTL vaping comfortably lasted well into a second day between charges.
- Heavier RDL use generally provided a full day's vaping without needing to recharge.
Charging is equally impressive.
Using USB-C fast charging, a full recharge took around 30-45 minutes, meaning downtime is minimal before you're ready to vape again.
Everyday Performance
The adjustable airflow allows the Argus G4 to move smoothly between a tight MTL draw and a more open RDL inhale.
Auto-draw activation proved responsive throughout testing, while manual wattage adjustment gives experienced users additional control if they prefer to fine-tune their vape.
One feature we particularly liked was how consistent the power delivery remained throughout the battery cycle. Flavour stayed virtually identical whether the battery was nearly full or approaching empty.
The device also remains fully compatible with the wider ARGUS pod family, making it a straightforward upgrade for existing ARGUS users.
Build Quality & Design
The Argus G4 feels like a genuine step forward for the ARGUS range.
Its metal construction gives it a premium feel, while the matte finish offers plenty of grip without attracting fingerprints.
The buttons feel positive, the airflow slider stays firmly in position and the overall fit and finish is excellent.
For a pod kit designed to be used every day, it strikes an excellent balance between portability and durability.
Who Is the VOOPOO Argus G4 For?
The Argus G4 is ideal for:
- Smokers switching to vaping
- Existing MTL pod users
- Nicotine salt users
- Freebase users wanting a restricted direct-lung vape
- Anyone looking for one device that can adapt to different vaping styles
If you're already using an older Argus device, the new Multi-Ohm pod system also makes this a worthwhile upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the VOOPOO Argus G4 battery last?
During our testing, most MTL users could comfortably vape for up to two days on a single charge, while heavier RDL users generally achieved a full day before recharging.
How long does the Argus G4 take to charge?
Using USB-C 5V/2A charging, the Argus G4 recharged from empty in approximately 30-45 minutes during testing, depending on the power source used.
Which Multi-Ohm setting is best?
It depends on your vaping style.
- 1.0Ω is ideal for nicotine salts and a tighter cigarette-style inhale.
- 0.7Ω offers the best all-round balance of flavour and versatility.
- 0.4Ω produces warmer vapour and suits RDL vaping with lower-strength freebase e-liquids.
Can I use nicotine salts in the Argus G4?
Yes. The 1.0Ω and 0.7Ω settings work particularly well with nicotine salts, while the 0.4Ω setting is better suited to lower-strength freebase e-liquids.
Is the VOOPOO Argus G4 suitable for beginners?
Yes. Thanks to its automatic resistance detection, responsive auto-draw and adjustable airflow, the Argus G4 is easy to use for beginners while still offering enough customisation for experienced vapers.

Final Verdict – Smoketronics Approved
After extensive in-store testing, the VOOPOO Argus G4 impressed us in almost every area.
Its innovative Multi-Ohm pod system genuinely offers something different, allowing users to enjoy three distinct vaping styles without carrying multiple replacement pods. Add excellent flavour, strong battery life, fast charging and premium build quality, and the result is one of the most versatile refillable pod kits we've tested this year.
For smokers making the switch, existing ARGUS users looking to upgrade, or experienced vapers wanting a compact everyday device, the Argus G4 is an easy recommendation.
