Description
Ultra-Portable Pod Kit with iCOSM 2.0 Coil Technology
The VooPoo Argus G3 Mini is a stripped-back, buttonless pod system built around one idea: exceptional coil performance in the smallest possible package. At just 40.85g, it is one of the lightest refillable pod kits on the market, yet it houses a 1350mAh battery, outputs up to 30W, and uses VooPoo’s latest iCOSM CODE 2.0 cartridge technology for 30-day coil cleanness and up to 100mL of e-liquid per pod. No screen, no settings, no wattage buttons. Just fill, draw, and vape.
Open pod system: This kit is refillable. It ships with one 0.7ohm Argus Top Fill Cartridge V2 (2mL CRC). You fill it with your own e-liquid. Replacement pods are sold separately in 3-packs and are available in 0.4, 0.7, and 1.0 ohm. The Argus G3 Mini is cross-compatible with the entire VooPoo Argus Pod Family.
What Makes the Argus G3 Mini Stand Out
iCOSM CODE 2.0 Coil Technology
The V2 pods use VooPoo’s latest atomization system, featuring a self-developed copper chamber that forms a dense e-liquid film coating 99% of the cotton. This delivers three key benefits: 30-day coil cleanness (no flavour degradation for a full month of use), steady smooth flavour from first to last puff, and 100mL e-liquid endurance per pod before replacement is needed. The aerospace-grade “Golden Cotton” wicking material withstands temperatures up to 260°C, providing roughly 3x the coil life of standard pod systems.
40.85g and Completely Buttonless
The G3 Mini is 20% lighter than the previous generation Argus G2 Mini. There are no buttons, no screen, and no wattage settings to configure. The GENE AI 2.0 chip automatically detects which pod resistance is installed and adjusts the output accordingly, optimizing the wattage for the best balance of flavour and vapour production. Draw-activated firing means you simply inhale to vape.
1350mAh Battery in a Pocket-Sized Frame
Despite its ultra-compact 95.3 x 25.8 x 13.7mm dimensions, the G3 Mini packs a high-density 1350mAh battery that comfortably lasts a full day for most vapers. USB-C charging at 5V/1A brings it back to full in roughly 90 minutes. A dual-colour LED indicator (white above 15%, red below 15%) shows battery status when you insert or remove the pod.
Full Argus Pod Family Compatibility
The G3 Mini works with every pod in VooPoo’s Argus ecosystem, including the original Argus Top Fill pods and the newer V2 cartridges. This means you can use pods from the Argus G, G2, G2 Mini, G3, P1, P1s, P2, A, Z, SE, Klyc, and Matrix kits. If you already own any Argus device, your existing pod inventory works with the G3 Mini right out of the box.
Top-Fill Design with Leak-Proof Engineering
The V2 cartridge fills from a silicone plug on the top side, eliminating the mess of bottom-fill systems. VooPoo’s patented Liquid-Seal Shield and copper chamber design improve leak resistance by 83% over standard pods. The full-view PCTG pod lets you check your e-liquid level at a glance without removing the cartridge.
Premium Build with Clous de Paris Texture
The aluminum alloy body features VooPoo’s signature Clous de Paris stud pattern on the grip surface, inspired by luxury watch design. The textured finish prevents the lightweight device from slipping, and the magnetic pod connection snaps firmly into place. Available in multiple colour options to match your style.

Tip: VooPoo recommends 50/50 VG/PG for all pod resistances. Avoid thick e-liquids (70VG+) as the 2mL pod’s integrated coil can struggle with high-VG wicking, leading to dry hits and shortened coil life. Browse our nic salt e-liquids for the best pairing with the G3 Mini.
How to Set Up the Argus G3 Mini
Charge the device. Connect the USB-C cable and charge until the LED shows a steady white light. While the G3 Mini may ship with some charge, a full initial charge ensures the best experience.
Remove the pod and peel the base sticker. Pull the pod out of the device by lifting it straight up. Peel off the silicone sticker on the bottom of the pod that covers the coil contacts. This sticker prevents dry firing during shipping.
Fill the pod with e-liquid. Turn the pod sideways and open the silicone plug on the top side. Fill slowly, leaving a small air gap at the top. Close the plug firmly. For best results, use a 50/50 VG/PG nic salt.
Let the coil prime for 5 minutes. After filling, wait at least 5 minutes before vaping to let the Golden Cotton wick fully saturate. You can also take a few gentle dry draws (inhale without activating the device) to help pull e-liquid into the coil.
Insert the pod and vape. Snap the pod back into the device magnetically. The GENE AI 2.0 chip will detect the coil resistance and set the optimal wattage automatically. Simply inhale to vape. No buttons, no settings.
Monitor and refill. Check the e-liquid level through the translucent pod wall. Refill before the level drops below the coil’s intake holes to avoid dry hits. The LED will flash red when the battery needs recharging.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is iCOSM CODE 2.0?
iCOSM CODE 2.0 is VooPoo’s latest coil technology exclusive to the Argus Top Fill Cartridge V2. It features a copper chamber that creates a dense e-liquid film coating 99% of the wicking cotton, improving leak resistance by 83%. The aerospace-grade “Golden Cotton” material withstands temperatures up to 260°C, delivering 30-day coil cleanness and up to 100mL of e-liquid per pod before the coil needs replacing. In practical terms, this means longer-lasting pods, more consistent flavour, and virtually no leaking.
Can I use pods from other Argus devices?
Yes. The Argus G3 Mini is fully cross-compatible with the entire VooPoo Argus Pod Family. This includes pods from the Argus G, G2, G2 Mini, G3, P1, P1s, P2, A, Z, Z2, SE, Klyc, and Matrix kits. Both the original side-fill pods and the newer V2 top-fill pods will work. If you have spare Argus pods from a previous device, they will fit the G3 Mini.
Can I adjust the wattage or airflow?
No. The G3 Mini is designed for simplicity. The GENE AI 2.0 chip automatically detects the pod’s coil resistance and sets the optimal wattage, so there is no manual wattage control. The airflow is also fixed at a loose MTL setting. If you prefer adjustable wattage and airflow, consider the full-size Argus G3 or the OXVA XLIM Pro 3.
Which resistance should I choose?
The kit includes the 0.7ohm pod, which is the most versatile option for most vapers. If you are transitioning from smoking and want a tighter, cigarette-like draw with higher nicotine, try the 1.0ohm pod with nic salt up to 50mg. If you prefer bigger clouds and a looser draw with lower nicotine, the 0.4ohm pod works well with freebase or low-strength nic salt up to 20mg.
How long does a pod last?
VooPoo rates the V2 pods at up to 100mL of e-liquid endurance, which translates to roughly 50 refills of the 2mL pod. In real-world use, most vapers report 2 to 4 weeks per pod depending on e-liquid sweetness, nicotine strength, and usage frequency. Heavily sweetened e-liquids and high-VG formulas will shorten coil life. Using the recommended 50/50 VG/PG nic salts gives the best longevity.
How does the G3 Mini compare to the full-size G3?
Both devices use the same iCOSM CODE 2.0 pods and GENE AI 2.0 chip, so flavour performance is identical. The main differences are physical: the G3 Mini is 20% lighter (40.85g vs ~50g), has no adjustable airflow (the full G3 does), no screen, and no buttons. Battery capacity is the same at 1350mAh. If you want the smallest, simplest option, get the G3 Mini. If you want airflow control and a screen, get the full G3.
What e-liquid should I use?
VooPoo recommends 50/50 VG/PG ratio for all pod resistances. Nicotine salt e-liquids in the 10-20mg range work well with the included 0.7ohm pod for a smooth, satisfying experience. Avoid thick 70VG+ e-liquids as they can cause wicking issues in the compact pod. Check out our e-liquid collection for options, or try our Flavour Beast Nic Salt 60mL for popular Canadian flavours that pair perfectly with pod systems.
