► Voopoo Argus MT & Argus XT; Introduction:
VooPoo sent me two new devices well in advance of their presentation date, they are MT and XT which represent the next generation of the long series of Argus devices produced so far.
Argus MT is powered by an integrated 3000 mAh cell, while Argus XT is compatible with a single 21700 or 18650 battery. The GENE.TT 2.0 chip allows both to reach a maximum power of 100W with a very stable output in the four different modes. available (Smart, RBA, Turbo and TC). MT and XT boast an IP68 rating that is capable of withstanding dust, shock and fresh water immersion for up to 30 minutes. The charging socket for both is 5V / 3A high speed Type-C.
It seems very evident to me that Argus MT & Argus XT with their refined appearance and their qualities of extreme robustness are the worthy descendants of the mighty Argus GT 2. Among all of them there are many shared technical aspects and all versions use the new Maat Tank with exclusive anti-condensation and anti-leakage "Volcano Crater" design.
► Voopoo Argus MT & Argus XT; Screen, QS, and control keys:
On the front of Argus XT, above the screen, we find a valuable three-way quick switching system (QS), the lever activates QS is robust and entirely made of metal. By placing the lever in the center, you get the lock / unlock of the adjustments and you can vape. With the lever positioned to the right, you lock the settings and you can vape without the danger of changing the settings by inadvertently touching the buttons. Finally with the lever positioned on the left, you get the total block of the device. On Argus MT the QS switching system is positioned below the screen and works in the same way as Argus GT 2, in fact the QS has only two ways, you can then lock the mod completely or unlock it for adjustments.
Between MT and XT there is another small difference and it is the arrangement of the adjustment keys "+ and -", both Mods adopt a rocker under the screen, but on MT the rocker is horizontal and on XT it is vertical. One of the features of making a device compatible with the IP68 format is to coat the charging port and in fact VooPoo used a metal door to protect its fast 3A USB. This solution with an opening metal door is really solid and very beautiful, even if it is slightly wobbly, sometimes touching it with your fingers generates noise.
On the front, the differences between MT and XT are over, so the power button (Fire) is the same for both models. The Fire key sits high above the screen and is made of metal with a round shaped central notch that is very ergonomic and welcoming to the fingertips. The Fire key is robust and precise, without imperfections. Even the screen unites MT and XT and it is a colored unit, centrally arranged and which shows all the useful information for vaper's.
► Voopoo Argus MT & Argus XT; Side and back view:
VooPoo sent me Argus MT in Pearl White and Argus XT in Silver Gray for this test. Both colors are very beautiful and special. On XT there is a rather varied chromatic mix; the silver of the frame and the shiny chrome part of the grille match well with the soft antique green leather insert that has shades of gray. The coloring of MT is less complex, in fact it is completely white, but no less interesting. On MT the metal parts are shiny and satin, while the soft decorative insert of the handle is slightly more opaque. The shapes of MT and XT offer excellent grip thanks to the upper / lower edges that are protruding and create a recess in the center, in the handle area, for an optimal ergonomic result and for a comfortable grip. The decorative lettering on MT and XT is represented by a sober vertical "Gene TT" marking found at the bottom on one side of the mod, and an eye-catching "ARGUS MT" or "ARGUS XT" lettering which is imprinted on the leather handle by VooPoo, through hot branding.
► Voopoo Argus MT & Argus XT; Thread 510:
The 510 plate of Argus MT and XT has a hexagonal design that is well connected to the frame by shrinking upwards, this to accommodate the Maat Tank in the best possible way and without leaving empty spaces around. The floating type pin is gold plated and the thread is smooth and smooth when screwing / unscrewing the tank. In this image you can see an eye-catching spoiler that is pierced in the center, useful if you want to hang Argus MT or Argus XT from necklaces or buckles on clothing.
► Voopoo Argus MT & Argus XT; Battery compartment:
Argus MT has the lower base covered with a gray layer of soft silicone, on the base in the center there is a vent hole and various information regarding the integrated 3,000mAh battery that is present inside the mod. These writings on the bottom of MT are unfortunately very difficult to photograph. The bottom base of Argus XT is very different, and has a slide button to be able to lift the lid and to insert an external battery into the mod.
► Voopoo Argus XT; 18650/21700 batteries:
With XT, once the lid has been opened and lifted, you will find the instructions to correctly insert your high discharge cell into the Mod, you can also make the wrong way to insert the cell, but on XT there is a protection, and the device does not it will work. In the kit there is a plastic adapter to insert a high discharge 18650 cell that will make XT reach a power limited to 80W, while by inserting a high discharge 21700 cell the power of XT will reach 100W max.
► VooPoo New Maat Tank:
The introduction of TPP coils by VooPoo for this vaporizer is not the only novelty, in fact the evolution of this Tank has seen several interventions aimed at improving its performance and ease of use compared to the progenitor of the Maat tank. The New Maat Tank design is particularly pleasant and innovative; the lower part has a diameter of 25mm to connect perfectly and without protrusions to the ARGUS MT, XT and GT 2. The air adjustment ring of Maat Tank is of new design and has a much larger diameter than the base (about 28mm ) this to connect adequately to the large convex glass that dominates it. The convex glass allows an e-liquid capacity in keeping with the high performance of a tank designed for RDL / DL use like this one. The Top-Cap maintains the same design and the same diameter as the AFC ring. To refill the New Maat Tank with e-liquid, a 1/4 turn of the Top-Cap is sufficient and through two slots protected by as many silicone membranes it is possible to insert up to 6.5ml of e-liquid.
► VooPoo New Maat Tank; Exploded view:
Maat Tank is basically composed of 5 separable elements to allow easy cleaning operations. The Top cap can accommodate any 810 type drip-tip, however I never thought about replacing the original Drip-Tip as it looks really nice and well done. The original 810 drip-tip is equipped with two sealing o'ring and has a beautiful mechanical processing to better dissipate the heat. The coils are inserted under pressure from below and absorb e-liquid through the large slits that are obtained on the one-piece central structure of Maat Tank. The threaded thread of the Tank contains an isolated pin, gold plated and not very protruding, the pin transfers energy to three gold plated contacts inside the AFC Base or if you prefer call it "back". These three contacts in turn transfer the electrical impulses coming from the Mod to the TPP Coil.
► VooPoo Maat Tank; AFC:
The air flow is managed by a new AFC adjustment system which is adjusted by means of two sturdy metal fins on the two fake slots inside the large knurls of Maat Tank. Through these fins you can adjust two huge opposing slots for the flow of air towards the TPP Coil and without having to turn any ring. At the maximum opening of the AFC a very high air flow is obtained, however this AFC system can manage very well even a rather narrow type of Puff and more charged than Hit (for those who want it). The suction noise of the new Maat Tank is always civilized and contained with both the supplied coils and with all the different selectable degrees of AFC opening. Overall I like the New Maat Tank, plus it's very functional and reliable.
► VooPoo; TPP Coils:
The TPP Coils present in the Argus MT and Argus XT packages use the "Mesh" technology and are equipped with large windows for a large absorption of liquid. In the photo below you can see the range of TPP coils available in the VooPoo catalog.
• Coil TPP-DM1, 0.15Ω 60-80W:
With the Smart mode this coil is activated at 65W, the activation is fast and powerful with an impressive aroma load and with an excellent production of dense vapor. My liquid "crispy puft" with the Maat Tank and with this coil comes out very enjoyable and velvety, extreme in its creamy sweetness, really good. Really not bad considering that Maat Tank is not a regenerable Tank! My ideal setting with Argus XT and 21700 cell is with maximum AFC aperture and 65W of power selected.
• Coil TPP-DM2, 0.2Ω 40-60W:
With the Smart mode this coil is activated at 50w, and compared to the previous one the aromatic yield is just as excellent, this Coil allows you to use less battery energy for a much higher charge autonomy than using the 0.15Ω TPP-DM1 . With AFC aperture at about 50% and with a selected power of 55W I found my weak point with this Coil, the coil is suitable for both MT & XT devices.
• Coil TPP-DM4 0.3Ω 32-40W:
With the Smart mode this coil is activated at 35W and if you are thinking that 35W is too low a power for lung vaping, you are blatantly wrong! With this resistance the activation is immediate, with a large production of steam. Of course the steam is not as hot as in the previous resistances, and with the AFC completely open the flavor is a little too diluted. By closing down to 1/3 the AFC you could really find your perfect RDL vape! With this adjustment I found my weak point, the heat and hit increase and the restricted airflow improves the perception of flavor. This setting with my creamy liquid "Hypnos by TOB" made me fall in love with this Coil.
To make the most of these TPP Super Coils, I would advise you to stick to the wattages indicated by VooPoo or to use the SMART mode to avoid mistakes. TPP Coils offer a powerful, very greasy and moist type of Puff, but remember that vaping at too low wattages runs the risk that the coils will not vaporize the liquid in the correct way, creating a supercharging effect.
In principle, I find the TPP Coils better than the previous ones and excellent PnPs. The TPP Coils on this massive NEW Maat Tank offer greater performance but also greater durability, the large breathability holes ensure a very constant supply to the cotton. The Tank dissipates and disposes of heat well. You just have to enjoy your liquids to the full.

• GENE CHIP: Displays the corresponding graph by simulating the amount of steam for each shot.
•• Firmware Update: Consumers have access to update the latest software version on the official VooPoo website (www.voopoo.com). The operation requires the specific USB Type-C cable supplied with the product to connect to the computer. For the FW update operation, always insert fully charged cell (XT) and make sure the built-in battery of MT is also charged before updating the firmware.
► Voopoo Argus MT & Argus XT; Final conclusions:
The promotional slogan of VooPoo "Solid As Argus" leaves free interpretation, but in my opinion it sums up well the IP68 characteristics of MT and XT to meet the real needs of cloud hunters who want to live outdoors, in all environments and conditions of use more extreme and without fear of damaging their devices. Argus MT & Argus XT designers focused on developing a strong IP68 structure, selecting a high strength double layer metal shell. After thousands of tests on the entire project, the structure would have achieved its intended purpose which was to create Argus devices as durable and resistant as volcanoes.
The upgraded GENE TT 2.0 chipset, ensures stable output up to the maximum power of 100W and supports Smart, RBA, TURBO and TC modes. Smart mode we all know how useful it can be in case of distractions. The RBA mode supports the user in customizing the preferred power between 5 and 100w even with regenerable tanks. Triple memory mode for TC can record previously set values. The new TURBO function is the mode that can maximize the release of vapor by the TPP-Coils with the greatest possible aroma load, certainly the latter represents the choice of vape more in line with the habits of users who use lung tanks.
These new devices are equipped with a 3A type C fast charging interface which is hidden and protected from various infiltrations by a metal flap. With the Type-C fast charging function, Argus XT and Argus MT increase the speed by at least 30% while maintaining a safe and stable current in the device. Personally with XT I recharge the batteries with an external charger, but for MT I find this charging protocol very useful. In addition, real-time BMS protection is active on the MT's 3,000mAh internal battery. The BMS thermal sensor monitors the temperature and cuts off the power supply for 30s when 60 ° C is reached, keeping the device and the user safe. * I recommend using the supplied cable and adapters marked with 5V == 3A or with USB 3.0 interface.
New Maat Tank is able to maximize the air flow, with the best possible channeling towards the Coil. The design study also concerned the drainage of any e-liquid leaks not through the AFC slots but through a planned containment inside the cup. This is to avoid the user from getting dirty during use and allowing him various inclinations of the tank in complete safety. Furthermore, the conformation and position of the contact pins have been calculated to minimize the electrical dispersion between the Mod and Tank. Those who have never tried the DL vape and want to try to immerse themselves in a way made of dense clouds and heavenly flavors, could really be favorably impressed by the high performance achieved by this type of simple maintenance RDL / DL Tank and therefore suitable for everyone.
Voopoo Argus MT & Argus XT have high-level finishes, two-way rapid switching system (QS) for MT and three-way for XT, high performance, and a good compromise between size and weight, with a very high charge autonomy thanks to the possibility of introducing a 21700 cell on XT or thanks to MT's 3,000mAh internal battery. Just think that with MT I managed to do 390 puffs at a constant 35W before recharging the battery and that this is a good result. For all the reasons I have explained during this long review, I feel I can recommend Voopoo Argus MT & Argus XT kits to everyone.
Thanks to VooPoo for sending me these samples for review.
