VooPoo Argus G2 disappointment.

    I just bought a Voopoo Argus G2 and I could not be more disappointed. The first thing I did with I received the Argus G2 was scratched off the QR code and scan it to make sure I received an authentic VooPoo product and not a counterfeit. I then filled the 0.4 pod with juice and it sat for about 45 minutes before I tried using it. I only vape CBD and THC so one of the juices I decided to go with was Maui Wowie from CBDfx. Maui Wowie is a 50pg/50vg mix with 2000mg CBD and 75mg THC. As I said I'm using the 0.4 tank that it comes with and I first tried it at 18w and I barely got any vapor production at all and what I did get was hot, tasted horrible and was harsh on my throat. The higher up in wattage I went the hotter and harsher it got, I did get a little more vapor the higher I went but it was nothing like I saw in the reviews on YouTube. Im probably not even getting 1/4th of the vapor I saw from the reviews videos. It's either too hot and misty with higher wattage used, or disturbing taste with lower wattage. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong or what the issue could be? I guess what I'm hoping to find are individuals who have owned and used the Argus G2 that maybe had the same experience and knows how to solve the issue.

    Are you sure that juice is not the problem?

    Imo, 50%PG is never more than "misty".

    VG makes clouds, but are clouds the goal, or are you trying to self-medicate?
    Turn down power, draw slowly.

    Vapor is absorbed in the mouth, nose and throat.
    You DO NOT need to pull vapor into your lungs.

    I was hoping to self medicate and have clouds but I now realized I can't have both apparently. Are you saying don't inhale vapor into your lungs ever?

    Clouds will require more VG content,
    You may choose to inhale or not, the "stuff" gets absorbed before it enters the lungs.
    Simply pull the vapor into your mouth, pause and exhale through your mouth and/or nose ( if comfortable.)
    E-liquid based vapes will not hit like an isolate cart: but with a bit lower expectations and a few more gentle pulls, will get the job done. :thumbs:

    Cheers

    Hi, I own and use the Argus G2 and am a big fan of the PnP pods that come with the G2 kit. I use the 0.4 ohm and 0.7 ohm pods in this kit and also use them in all the other Argus kits that I also own.

    I dont use CBD juice but do use normal e-liquid thru these pods. When using the 0.4 ohm pod I get very good flavor and vapor with the wattage set between 12-14 watts. At the smart wattage setting of 23W the results are great.

    I cant see any other reason for your problem other than the juice your using.

    Yea it's the juice, I just dug some old somango CBD juice from a local manufacturer I had a year and half ago out of drawer that reads "50% vegetable glycerin, 27% propylene glycol, 20% food flavoring and 3% CBD. I put it in the 0.4 pod and turned the wattage all the way up to 30 and it gave me thick dense clouds that were very temp cool and smooth. This was my first time using the CBDfx juice and my first time using the G2 so I was automatically expecting the CBDfx to be just like the somango juice and thought it must have been an issue with the device.
