The Argus P1 is a tiny square-shaped pod system that is very easy to pocket, appears to be simply stunning, a body made of matte metal with a clear window on one side. You can really view the chipset inside the gadget using this window. Additionally, there is a tiny bar that I liken to a heat sink at the top, which is ideal for securing the lanyard to. The face of the kit features a polished metallic ARGUS logo that looks really fashionable. The device's USB-C charge connector and adjustable ventilation are located on the side.
The renowned GENE AI 1.2 chipset intelligently adjusts the wattage range to match the acceptable output of the coil depending on the pod you choose after detecting the resistance. For instance, the Argus P1 kit will adjust the wattage output to anywhere between 5 and 12W if you use the 1.2 ohm pod. This is also dependent on how firmly you inhale; the more forcefully you exhale, the higher the output. The battery life is actually much better preserved thanks to this convenient feature.
The Argus P1 is a fairly standard pod system that is great for new users. There are no switches, no on or off, and only the airflow adjustment may be changed. When you want to vape, simply inhale, and pocket it for when you are on the road. It's simple to fill the pod. The pod itself is magnetic and is really simple to insert and remove. Although it's not crammed in there, the magnets keep it there securely without letting it move. Just pull the pod out to remove it. Nothing unusual is required. Simply reinstall it such that the magnets can catch it.

The Argus P1 comes with two pods straight out of the box, one 0.7Ω pod and one 1.2Ω pod. The P1 uses the Argus line of pods, which is great because you can purchase pods either with the coil pre-installed, or pods that allow you to replace the coil yourself.
Depending on how the airflow is configured, you may produce an MTL draw that is either loose or tight using either of the two pods that come with the Argus P1. The Gene AI 1.2 chip will identify the pod you are using and adjust the wattage range in accordance with that recognition. The wattage range for the 0.7 and 1.2 pods is 5–18 W and 5–12 W, respectively. As I said earlier, the wattage for your pull will increase the harder you huff.
The mouthpiece is very comfortable to use and the opening is a good size that makes the draw pleasant and satisfying. The pod attaches to the device using magnets. The magnets are strong enough to hold the pod in place. To remove the pod, firmly grip on the pod and pull it out. To replace it, slide it back into the opening and the magnets should do the rest. To fill the Argus P1 you need to remove the pod, it is really easy to remove the pod and reinstall it.
The airflow adjustment on the Argus P1 is a slider, similar to that of the Argus Pod. The slider here is firm and allows you to move it just the smallest amount for precise airflow adjustments. This enables you to customise the airflow to your exact preferences.
I was able to get a fantastic loose MTL draw using the 0.7 pod with the airflow fully open. It becomes warmer and tighter as you reduce ventilation. Even with the most open airflow configuration, the 1.2 pod has a tighter MTL draw. The draw gets much tighter as you cut off the airflow. The flavor from both pods is outstanding, and the ejuice that I used tasted delicious with each draw.
Your vaping habits will determine how long the battery lasts on this device, but I will say that it appears extremely sufficient for a gadget like this. It has an internal battery that is rated at 800 mAh, but charging is listed at various speeds because some mods that utilise fast chargers have quick charge capabilities. The port is Type-C and it’s located on the front of the device under the airflow adjustment, so the device can stand up while charging which is great.
The Argus P1 has exceptionally fast charging times. The P1 may be fully charged in under 18 minutes by connecting it to a conventional 5V/2A power source with the included cable.

The amount of LEDs that light up solely indicates the power of your pull; while the LEDs do light up each time you take a draw. To check your battery level, you would need to remove/insert the pod as the LEDs up to indicate your battery charge level.
The LEDs indicate your battery life as follows:
- 4 White LEDs: 76-100%
- 3 White LEDs: 51-75%
- 2 White LEDs: 25-50%
- 1 Red LED: 1-25%
In conclusion, despite its very compact size, the performance from both the device and pods are very good. The styling looks impressive and the quality and feel of the device shine through. The Voopoo Argus P1 is a pretty visually appealing kit with a futuristic vibe and a high-quality build overall. My favourite features of this product are its portability, aesthetics, and flavour delivery. Battery capacity is respectable and quick or regular charging is an extra bonus. The pods can be refilled even though the coils are integrated and cannot be changed. The ability to customise your vaping experience with the airflow control worked nicely.
I thought the vape's intensity was excellent in terms of power. Each type of pod (coil resistance) has its wattage automatically fixed, but it is also detected and modified based on the force of your pull. It was sometimes difficult to quantify this, but I can attest that the power output seemed to increase with the strength of the draw.
As I mentioned previously, the P1 uses the Argus pods, so it should be easy to find replacements when the time comes. When there are so many devices using the same pods, pod availability is usually not an issue. Overall, The Voopoo Argus P1 is an outstanding device that is simple to use, looks fantastic and performs really well. Anyone looking for an easy-to-use vape gadget may consider the Argus P1, since it checks all the right boxes. The P1 does exactly what it needs to, with no fuss.
