Question : Short answer
What is genuinely new?
One Multi-Ohm cartridge can provide 0.7Ω, 1.0Ω and 0.4Ω operation.
Who is it for?
Adult users who alternate between MTL and RDL but do not want to carry several pods.
Maximum output : 35W
Battery:1650mAh built in
Charging: USB-C, 5V/2A; VOOPOO states about 45 minutes for a full charge.
Display: 0.85-inch HD screen
Airflow : Stepless side adjustment
Cartridge capacity: 3.5mL Standard, US; 2mL TPD
Existing pod support: Compatible with the wider ARGUS Pod Family.
Main reservation: One e-liquid will not automatically suit every resistance and power level.
The Multi-Ohm Cartridge Is the Real Story
Inside the new cartridge is a three-electrode arrangement described by VOOPOO as positive–negative–positive. Rotating the pod changes which single heating element is detected, giving either 0.7Ω or 1.0Ω. On the ARGUS G4, both heating elements can also operate together for a combined 0.4Ω mode.
The result is more meaningful than adding another screen theme. A user can tighten the draw and lower the power for discreet MTL use, then open the airflow and select a lower resistance for a warmer, fuller RDL vape without changing the pod.
Resistance :Official power guidance Best starting point Important liquid consideration
1.0Ω :10–14W Tight MTL, cooler output VOOPOO lists nicotine content up to 50mg; follow local rules and use an appropriate liquid.
0.7Ω :14–18W Loose MTL, balanced warmth VOOPOO lists nicotine content up to 30mg.
0.4Ω :18–30W, up to 35W on G4 | Airier RDL, more vapor VOOPOO lists nicotine content up to 20mg; high-strength liquid is a poor match for higher-output use.
This flexibility still requires some judgment. If a pod is filled with high-strength nicotine salt for 1.0Ω MTL use, switching straight to 0.4Ω is not automatically sensible. Resistance, wattage, airflow and liquid strength need to work together.
What the Supplied Orange Device Looks Like in Person
Our orange sample uses a warm gold-to-orange gradient rather than a flat painted finish. The fine diagonal texture on the lower body keeps the color from looking overly glossy, while the black front panel gives the small display a cleaner visual boundary.
The construction is tall and slim. The rounded base and narrow side profile help it sit naturally in the hand, although its 121mm height makes it less compact than some minimalist stick pods. VOOPOO lists the aluminum version at 65g; zinc-alloy and leather configurations can reach 85g.
The side button is easy to identify by touch. On the opposite side, the airflow control and USB-C port remain accessible without removing the cartridge. The smoked PCTG pod is transparent enough to inspect the liquid level under good lighting, and its top-fill arrangement means the cartridge can remain installed during refilling.
Controls Without Turning It Into a Pod Mod
The G4 still behaves like a compact pod system, but the physical button gives it more direct control than a fully automatic device. According to VOOPOO's operating guide:
- Three presses open wattage adjustment.
- Five presses open menu options for power, themes, puff clearing and lock status.
- A long press opens on-device tips.
- A double press is used when selecting the Multi-Ohm resistance state.
The 0.85-inch display is not large, but it has a practical role: resistance, power and menu settings need clearer feedback now that one cartridge can behave in three different ways.
Battery and Charging: A Useful, Not Dramatic, Increase
The built-in battery is rated at 1650mAh and the output range is 5–35W. VOOPOO claims up to five days from a charge and approximately 45 minutes for a full 5V/2A charge. Treat the five-day figure as a best-case manufacturer estimate: real endurance will vary substantially with resistance, wattage, puff length and frequency.
The more dependable conclusion is that 1650mAh is generous for a device of this size. Users operating at 1.0Ω and modest wattage should see much longer runtime than someone repeatedly using the 0.4Ω setting near the top of the power range.
Compatibility Reduces the Risk of Buying In
The new cartridge is the headline feature, but the G4 also accepts the broader ARGUS Pod Family, including ARGUS Top Fill Cartridge V2 and other listed ARGUS cartridges. That gives existing ARGUS users a useful fallback and makes the device less dependent on a single new consumable.
There is one important distinction: older ARGUS devices can use the new Multi-Ohm cartridge, but VOOPOO states that 0.4Ω switching is supported only by the G4 and certain later products. On older hardware, buyers should confirm exactly which resistance modes are available rather than assuming full three-mode operation.
Who Should Consider the ARGUS G4?
If you
Alternate between a tight and loose draw The same cartridge covers 1.0Ω, 0.7Ω and 0.4Ω modes.
Prefer visible settings The screen and button provide clearer control than light-only pod systems.
Already own ARGUS cartridges Full-family compatibility protects your existing pod supply.
Want long runtime without a large pod mod The 1650mAh battery is substantial for a 65g aluminum device.
Use only one resistance every day A simpler ARGUS device or fixed-resistance pod may offer enough functionality.
Pros and Limitations
What looks strong
- The Multi-Ohm cartridge solves a real inconvenience rather than adding a cosmetic feature.
- 35W output and stepless airflow cover a wider MTL-to-RDL range than the typical basic pod.
- 1650mAh capacity and 5V/2A charging are well matched to everyday carry.
- Compatibility with existing ARGUS pods makes the transition less risky.
- The orange aluminum sample feels visually distinctive without becoming oversized.
What needs longer testing
- VOOPOO's battery-duration, 100mL endurance and leak-resistance claims require extended use to verify.
- Three resistances do not mean every filled liquid is appropriate in every mode.
- At 121mm, the device prioritizes battery capacity and control over maximum compactness.
- Users who never change draw style may not benefit much from the Multi-Ohm design.
Early Verdict
The ARGUS G4 is interesting because its headline feature changes how a pod is used. It reduces the need to carry multiple cartridges and makes resistance adjustment part of the device's normal interaction, rather than a maintenance task.
The strongest case for the G4 is not “more power.” It is having one compact device that can move from restrained MTL to warmer RDL while retaining a familiar ARGUS cartridge ecosystem. The remaining question is durability: only extended use can show whether the new cartridge maintains clean operation and consistent performance across repeated mode changes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the ARGUS G4 use three separate coils?
The supplied Multi-Ohm cartridge integrates two heating elements and a multi-electrode connection. Different orientations provide 0.7Ω or 1.0Ω operation, while combined operation produces 0.4Ω on the G4.
Can older ARGUS cartridges be used in the G4?
Yes. VOOPOO lists the ARGUS G4 as compatible with the ARGUS Pod Family, including several current and earlier top-fill cartridges.
Can the Multi-Ohm cartridge unlock 0.4Ω on every ARGUS device?
No. VOOPOO says 0.4Ω switching is supported by the ARGUS G4 and certain subsequent products. Older devices may use the cartridge without unlocking all three modes.
Is the five-day battery claim guaranteed?
No. It is a manufacturer estimate under normal-use conditions. Actual runtime depends on power, resistance, puff duration and frequency.
What comes in the standard kit?
VOOPOO lists one ARGUS G4 device, two 3.5mL Multi-Ohm cartridges, a USB-C cable, user manual, ARGUS Pod Family compatibility guide and lanyard. TPD kits use 2mL cartridges.
