VoopooThe VooPoo Argus G4 Pod Kit Silver by Voopoo in Silver at 0mg. Free UK delivery over £20, same-day dispatch on weekday orders before 4pm.
The VooPoo Argus G4 Pod Kit is a refillable pod system from Voopoo, the Shenzhen-based hardware maker behind the Drag, Vinci and Argus device lines. The Argus family sits at the compact, pocketable end of the range. It is aimed at people who want a device simple enough to use straight out of the box, but who also want some say over power, flavour and nicotine strength rather than being locked into a single sealed product.
That last point matters more in the UK than it used to. Since single-use vapes were banned in Great Britain on 1 June 2025, refillable and rechargeable kits have become the normal route for adult smokers who vape as an alternative to cigarettes. A kit such as the Argus G4 does the job that a drawer full of discarded disposables used to do, only with far less waste. You fill a small pod with the e-liquid you choose, charge the battery from a USB-C cable, and swap the pod when the coil wears out. The device itself stays in your pocket for months rather than days.
In this guide we go through what the kit is, how it performs, what to expect from the mesh-coil pod, how to choose a nicotine strength under UK rules, what the battery will realistically do, and who is better off with something else. We have written it as a buyer's guide rather than a brochure, so you will find the limits stated alongside the strengths. Where a figure is typical for the device class rather than printed on a specific box, we say so. Treat the specification panel on the listing and the leaflet inside the pack as the final word on any exact number.
The listing carries nine variants. On a kit, those are colourways and finishes rather than flavours, because the taste comes from whichever e-liquid you put in the pod. We give pairing suggestions further down, so you can choose a colour for looks and a liquid for taste independently of one another.
One more point before the detail. Vaping products are for adults who smoke or already use nicotine. They are not for anyone under 18, and they are not recommended for people who have never smoked. If you are using this kit to leave cigarettes behind, you are the person it is designed for.
Before the detail, here is a plain summary of the specification you should expect from this kit. The Argus G line has followed a consistent recipe across generations, and the figures below describe that recipe. Voopoo adjusts small details between revisions and between production batches, so confirm exact numbers against the spec panel on the listing and the printed leaflet.
The figure that confuses buyers most is the capacity. A 2ml pod is not small by accident. It is the legal ceiling for refillable vaping hardware sold with nicotine in the UK, and bottles of nicotine e-liquid are capped at 10ml. If you see a kit advertised with a much larger refillable tank, it is either an import or it is aimed at nicotine-free liquid, where the limit does not apply.
The other number worth understanding is the battery size. A cell of around 1000mAh stores roughly 3.7 watt-hours of energy. At a moderate output, that is enough for a couple of hundred puffs, which happens to line up sensibly with the liquid in one or two pods. The designers have, in other words, matched the battery to the pod rather than chasing a big mAh figure for the sake of the box.
The Argus G4 is designed around mouth-to-lung (MTL) and restricted lung vaping. In practice you draw slowly for three to four seconds, hold the vapour briefly in your mouth, then inhale. The airflow is tighter than on a sub-ohm tank, the vapour is cooler and less voluminous, and a nicotine salt liquid delivers a throat hit that sits closer to a cigarette than to a cloud-focused setup. If you have used a Vaporesso XROS or a Smok Novo, the draw will feel familiar.
Output is adjustable, which is the main thing that separates this kit from a disposable. On a mesh pod the sensible approach is to start at the lower end of the range and move up only if the flavour feels flat. More power does not make the vape better; it makes the coil hotter. That brings out warmth and sweetness, but it also burns through liquid faster, shortens coil life and can make a nicotine salt feel harsh. Most people settle somewhere in the middle of the range after trying both ends.
Mesh coils reach working temperature quickly, so there is very little delay between starting to draw and receiving vapour. Check the leaflet for the exact firing and power-adjustment controls, because Voopoo changes the control layout between generations, but the principle is the same either way: a short, steady draw gets an even result. The vapour stays consistent from a fresh fill to the last of the liquid, with the usual caveat that the final few puffs before the pod runs dry can taste hot or slightly burnt. Refill before the pod is empty, not after.
Puff count is the number marketers love and users argue about. For a refillable pod there is no fixed figure, because it depends on your power setting, how long you draw and how thick the liquid is. As a working guide, a 2ml fill at moderate power gives somewhere around 250 to 400 puffs. That is a morning-to-evening supply for a light user and roughly a day for a heavy one. At the top of the power range you will use liquid faster and land nearer the lower figure. For comparison, a 600-puff disposable delivered a similar amount of vapour per fill, but you threw the whole thing away afterwards.
What changes how fast a pod empties:
Where it falls short is worth saying plainly. This is not a cloud device. If you want large, warm, dense vapour from a direct-to-lung draw, a sub-ohm kit is the better match. The Argus G4 is a lower-power, flavour-and-throat-hit device, and it does that job tidily.
The heart of any pod kit is the coil, and the Argus G4 uses a mesh coil built into a replaceable pod. Instead of a round wire wrapped around a cotton wick, a mesh coil is a thin, flat sheet of resistance material formed into a curved panel and pressed against the cotton. The larger surface area heats liquid more evenly and over a wider area. That gives fuller flavour at lower temperatures and a quicker response when you draw.
In this style of system the coil is part of the pod, so you do not rebuild or swap bare coil heads. When the flavour fades, you replace the whole pod. That makes maintenance very simple and removes the risk of fitting a coil badly, but it also means the pod is your main running cost. Only buy pods confirmed as compatible with the Argus G4 specifically. Do not assume pods from earlier Argus models will fit or behave the same way; pods within one manufacturer's family are not always interchangeable, so match the model name before you add spares to your basket.
Resistance is the other thing to understand. A lower-resistance coil draws more power, makes more vapour, and uses liquid faster. A higher-resistance coil gives a tighter, cooler draw and stretches a fill further. Pods in this class commonly sit somewhere between roughly 0.4 and 1.0 ohms, and the figure is printed on the pod or its packaging. Pick the one that suits how you vape: higher resistance for a cigarette-like pull and economy, lower resistance if you want a little more vapour from the same device.
Priming is the step most new users skip, and it is the cause of most early burnt-taste complaints. A new mesh coil has dry cotton, and firing it before the cotton is soaked will scorch it permanently. Follow this sequence with every new pod:
Coil life depends on use. Expect roughly one to three weeks from a pod with regular vaping. Sweet, dessert-style and heavily sweetened liquids caramelise on the mesh and shorten that figure, while mint, menthol, tobacco and lighter fruit liquids tend to be kinder. The signs a pod is finished are a flat or burnt flavour that does not clear after a fresh fill, a darkened liquid colour, gurgling, or leaking. When you see them, replace the pod rather than trying to push it further. A worn coil gives a worse vape and wastes your liquid.
Leak resistance comes from the pod's seal and the silicone fill plug. Make sure the plug is fully seated after refilling, wipe any liquid off the outside, and avoid leaving the device lying flat in a hot place like a car dashboard, where expanding air in the pod can push liquid through the airflow.
A kit has no flavour of its own, so the real question is what goes in it. Mesh coils are good at carrying detail, which means they reward decent liquids and show up weak ones. Here are eight flavour styles that suit this hardware, and what to expect from each at the moderate power settings the kit is built for.
Choosing a base matters as much as the flavour. For a pod of this type, aim for roughly 50/50 up to 60/40 VG/PG. Very high-VG liquids around 70VG and above are thicker, wick slowly through the cotton, and can cause dry hits or gurgling in a small pod. Ready-made 10ml nicotine salt bottles are the straightforward option. Shortfill bottles intended for sub-ohm tanks are generally too thick for this class of device, and they also need nicotine shots added to reach a strength, which is more fuss than it is worth here.
Do not mix more than one flavour family in the same pod without rinsing and drying first. If you want to swap flavours, finish the pod or empty it, let it dry, then refill. Some flavour carry-over is normal, and mint and menthol in particular linger in the cotton for a day or so. If a flavour change matters to you, fitting a fresh pod is the cleanest way to do it.
The Argus family has generally favoured a slim, rounded-rectangle body that fits a trouser or jacket pocket without feeling bulky. The G4 follows that approach. It is a device you carry rather than one you place on a desk, and it weighs little enough that you notice it only when you take it out. The pod slots into the top of the body, so the mouthpiece sits where you expect it, and the footprint is small enough to fit comfortably in one hand.
The shell on devices of this type is normally a metal alloy or a coated plastic, finished in a matte, glossy or soft-touch coating depending on the colour. The nine variants on the listing give you a range of looks to choose from, and the product images show the exact finish of each. Glossy colours look sharp but show fingerprints and light scratches in a pocket. Matte or soft-touch finishes hide handling marks better and grip more securely. If you carry the device with keys or coins, favour a matte finish or use a small case.
Build quality in this price band is about tolerances. The things worth checking when the kit arrives are the following:
If any of those feels loose out of the box, contact us before using the device. A pod that does not seat firmly is a common cause of leaking and a poor electrical connection, and it is much easier to deal with under the returns process before you have filled it with liquid.
Ergonomically, the mouthpiece shape matters more than most people expect, because you are drawing for several seconds at a time. A flatter, wider drip tip is comfortable for longer sessions, while a narrower one feels closer to a cigarette. Check the listing photos to see which style this model uses. The airflow route is also worth a thought. Keep your fingers clear of any air inlets on the side or base while you draw, or the draw will tighten unexpectedly and the vapour will turn hot.
Finally, think about how you carry it. A device with an open charging port and a pod that is not perfectly sealed does not belong loose in a bag with a bottle of liquid and a pen. A small pouch, a dedicated pocket, or a lanyard if one is supplied keeps lint out of the port and stops the button being pressed by accident.
The Argus G4 has a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and for a device of this size the capacity sits in the region of 1000mAh. It charges over USB-C, which means the same cable as most current phones and tablets, and you can charge it from a laptop, a plug adapter or a power bank.
What does 1000mAh mean in daily use? Think of it as roughly one day for a moderate vaper. A light user might get two days, while a heavy user at higher power might want a top-up mid-afternoon. The maths is simple: a cell that size holds around 3.7 watt-hours. At a mid-range output with draws of three seconds, that works out to a couple of hundred puffs from a full charge once real-world losses are included. As noted earlier, that matches up with one or two pods of liquid, so the battery and the pod run out at roughly the same time, which is a sensible pairing.
Charging is straightforward, but a few habits protect the battery and keep you safe:
A full charge from empty typically takes around an hour. If the device does not respond to the charger, check the cable and the port for lint first, since a clogged port is the most common cause. Try a different cable and wall adapter before assuming a fault.
Over time, every lithium cell loses capacity. After a year or more of daily charging you may notice you need to top up more often. This is normal ageing rather than a defect. Keeping the battery between about 20 percent and 90 percent most of the time, and avoiding heat, helps it last.
Recycling matters. This kit contains a lithium-ion battery, so it must never go in household bins or general recycling, where crushed cells have started fires in collection lorries and waste centres. In the UK, vape devices count as electrical waste. Retailers that sell vaping products are required to take back old devices, and most supermarkets and council recycling centres have collection points for small electricals. Used pods and empty liquid bottles should also go to a vape or small-electricals drop-off point where possible, rather than being binned. Treating the device as something that lasts months and gets recycled at the end is a large part of why a pod kit is a better environmental choice than a stack of single-use sticks.
UK law caps nicotine e-liquid at 20mg/ml, which is 2 percent, and caps bottle size at 10ml for nicotine liquids. Those limits apply to every refillable vape sold here, and they are the reason you will see strengths such as 3mg, 6mg, 10mg, 12mg, 18mg and 20mg on the shelves. The Argus G4 does not change those rules, but the strength you pick still has a big effect on how it feels.
Here is how the common options tend to suit a pod of this type:
Power and strength work together. A high-strength nicotine salt on a high power setting delivers a lot of nicotine very quickly and can feel harsh or make you lightheaded. If 20mg feels too intense, the first fix is to lower the power setting and shorten the draw before you move to a weaker liquid. If you find yourself vaping constantly without satisfaction, the issue may be the opposite, and a slightly higher strength may let you take fewer puffs.
For someone moving from cigarettes, a common starting point is 20mg salt if you smoked heavily, or 10mg to 12mg if you smoked fewer than ten a day. Give yourself a week to settle, then adjust. If you want proper guidance on stopping smoking, local NHS stop smoking services are free, and they can combine vaping with other support. We cannot give medical advice, and you should ask a healthcare professional if you are pregnant, have a heart condition, or take regular medication.
Finally, nicotine is addictive. This kit is for adults who already smoke or use nicotine. It is not recommended for non-smokers, and it must be kept, along with all e-liquid, out of reach of children and pets. Nicotine liquid is poisonous if swallowed or spilled on skin, so wipe up any spills quickly and keep bottles closed and upright.
No device suits everyone, and a straight answer saves you money. Here is how we see the fit.
The Argus G4 is a good fit if you:
You should look elsewhere if you:
It is worth being clear that the kit asks a small amount of effort from you. Disposables trained a lot of people to expect zero maintenance. With a refillable kit, you will spend a minute filling the pod, a few minutes priming a new one and a moment rinsing your hands after a spill. Most people find that trade-off acceptable within a week or two, and the savings are significant, but it is a change of habit and should not come as a surprise.
Finally, consider spares. If you rely on vaping to stay off cigarettes, keep a spare pod in your bag. Running out of a coil at the wrong moment is a classic way to slip back, and the cost of a spare is small compared with a pack of cigarettes.
Setting up takes about ten minutes, most of which is waiting for the cotton to soak. Follow these steps in order, and keep the leaflet to hand for the exact button sequence on your unit, since Voopoo adjusts the controls between generations.
Everyday use. Draw slowly and evenly, leave a gap between puffs of at least twenty to thirty seconds if you can, and top up the liquid when the pod is about a third full. Do not let it run to empty. Keep the device upright when you can, and use any lock function when it is in a pocket or bag, so it cannot fire by accident.
Changing a pod. Remove the old pod and dispose of any leftover liquid carefully. Seat the new one, prime it for five to ten minutes after filling, and then start at a lower power again. Treat every new pod as a new coil that needs to be broken in.
Cleaning. Wipe the contacts and the outside of the device with a dry or very slightly damp cloth. Do not rinse the device under water, and do not wash the pod in the sink, as a mesh coil does not recover from soaking. A cotton bud lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol can clear residue from the contact pins when the device is switched off, as long as it is fully dry before use.
Storing. Keep the device and any spare pods and liquid at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, out of hot cars and out of reach of children and pets. Store pods upright when you can, so the cotton does not dry or flood.
Most pod kit problems fall into a handful of causes, and almost all of them are quick to fix. Work through these before assuming a fault.
If none of this clears the problem, contact us with your order number and a short description or a clear photo of the fault. For safety reasons, never open the device, never try to repair the battery yourself, and never use a device that shows signs of damage, swelling or heat.
The honest way to judge value on a pod kit is to look at running cost over a few months rather than the sticker price. A typical heavy disposable user used to spend somewhere in the region of one to two disposables a week, each of which was thrown away. Over three months that adds up to a considerable sum, and a pile of lithium waste. A refillable kit shifts the cost: you pay once for the device, then buy e-liquid in 10ml bottles and a replacement pod every couple of weeks. Over a few months the maths usually comes out clearly in favour of the refillable route, and compared with cigarettes the saving is larger still.
Here is how the Argus G4 sits against other familiar pod systems, as fairly as we can put it:
None of these is clearly ahead across the board. The honest differences are in details: how the pod seats, how well it resists leaks, how the draw feels, and how easy replacement pods are to buy. That is why we suggest weighing the following before you decide:
Taken together, the Argus G4 is a sensible, mainstream choice. It does not claim to reinvent anything. It offers a mesh coil, adjustable power, USB-C charging and a pocket-friendly size at a price that makes sense for an adult smoker switching away from cigarettes or disposables. If that is what you are after, it is a fair match. If you want clouds, a much larger battery or a cheaper sealed system, a different device will serve you better, and we would rather tell you so than sell you the wrong kit.

Voopoo (VOOPOO) sits firmly in the enthusiast-friendly refillable category — the Drag, Argus and Vinci lines all share the brand's Gene chipset and premium pod engineering. Picked by vapers who want pod ergonomics with sub-ohm-grade performance.
For heavier smokers moving across, 20mg/ml nicotine salt is the usual start, and 20mg/ml is the UK legal maximum. Lighter smokers often prefer 10mg to 12mg salt, and anyone vaping at higher power with a freebase liquid tends to choose 3mg to 6mg. If a strength feels harsh, lower the power setting before changing the liquid.
Charge it with the supplied USB-C lead from a standard 5V adapter, laptop port or power bank. A full charge from empty typically takes around an hour. Charge it on a hard surface, do not leave it unattended overnight, and unplug it once full.
No. On a pod kit, the variants are colours and finishes, because the flavour comes from the e-liquid you put in the pod. Pick the colour you like the look of, then choose a liquid separately. We suggest a few pairings in the flavour section above.
You can, but some of the old flavour will linger in the cotton, especially mint and menthol. Finish or empty the pod, let it dry, then refill. For a clean change of flavour, fit a fresh pod and prime it for five to ten minutes.
A 2ml fill typically gives around 250 to 400 puffs depending on your power setting and puff length. The battery is sized to match, so one charge generally covers about a day for a moderate user. A pod's coil usually lasts one to three weeks before the flavour fades.
Over a few months, usually yes. You pay once for the device, then only for e-liquid and the occasional replacement pod, instead of throwing away a whole product every few days. Single-use vapes are also banned in Great Britain, so a refillable kit is the standard route for adult vapers now.
It suits adult smokers and existing nicotine users who want a compact, adjustable device with a tight, flavour-focused draw. It is a poor match for cloud chasers, people who want a sealed pre-filled product, and anyone needing several days of battery. It is not for non-smokers or anyone under 18.
Yes, we deliver to UK addresses, and delivery options and costs are shown at checkout. This is an age-restricted product for over-18s only, so we verify age on sale and carriers may ask for ID on delivery. Please make sure someone aged 18 or over can receive the parcel.
If the device arrives faulty or develops a hardware fault, contact us with your order number and a clear photo or short video, and we will arrange a replacement or repair through the manufacturer warranty process. For hygiene and safety reasons, opened pods and used e-liquid usually cannot be returned, so check the full returns policy on the site.
A kit normally includes the device, a pod and a charging lead, but not nicotine e-liquid, so order your liquid separately in 10ml bottles. At the end of its life, do not put the device in household bins. Take it, along with old pods, to a vape or small-electricals drop-off point at a supermarket, a council recycling centre or a participating retailer.

Delivery was super fast and the product is genuine. I've had fakes before so this was a relief.
Pleasantly surprised. Was expecting it to be average but it's actually really nice. Recommended.
Really nice flavour — not too sweet, not too harsh. Perfect in the middle. Second order already placed.
Easy to use, straight out the pack and working. No fiddling about with anything. Great for beginners too.
Solid purchase. Has become part of my routine now. Will continue ordering from here.
Battery lasts me a full day easily. Charging is quick. Overall very pleased with the purchase.
