Voopoo Argus P3 Pod Vape Kit

Slim, smart and reassuringly solid, the Voopoo Argus P3 Pod Vape Kit is one of those devices that just feels right the moment you pick it up. Priced at £24.99 here at PinkVape, it takes everything people love about Voopoo's Argus line and wraps it in a slender, refined body designed to be carried everywhere. If you want a refillable pod kit that looks the part, vapes cleanly and saves you a small fortune against disposables, the P3 makes a very persuasive argument.

A quick word on what you are buying

The Argus P3 is a refillable pod system, which means the flavour is entirely in your hands. Instead of discarding the whole unit when the juice runs out, you simply refill the pod and keep going. Inside sits a rechargeable battery and Voopoo's control chip; on top clips a pod that holds your e-liquid and houses a replaceable coil to vaporise it. It leans towards the tighter, mouth-to-lung style that ex-smokers tend to prefer, though the adjustable airflow gives you room to loosen things off. As with every product on our shelves, it is strictly for adults aged 18 and over, and it is worth remembering that nicotine is addictive.

Filling it and getting going

Let us start where you will start, with the first fill, because Voopoo has made it about as painless as refilling gets. Open the pod's fill port, add your chosen liquid until the clear window shows it is full, and close it back up. The one rule worth respecting is priming: leave a fresh coil to soak for five to ten minutes before you take that first draw, and you will sidestep the dreaded burnt taste that catches out impatient newcomers. Seat the pod into the body, take a couple of gentle no-power primer pulls if the coil is brand new, and you are away. Most people go from sealed box to first vape in under ten minutes.

The pods and coils explained

The P3 sits on Voopoo's proven pod-and-coil platform, and this is a large part of why the Argus range has aged so well. Its pods accept replaceable coils, so rather than throwing a whole pod away when flavour fades, you drop in a fresh coil and carry on with the same pod. Voopoo supplies coils in more than one resistance, letting you dial the kit towards stronger nic salts and a crisp, cigarette-like draw, or towards a slightly more open, flavour-rich pull. The pods are transparent, so a glance tells you how much juice is left, and the sealed fill port keeps sticky fingers and leaks to a minimum. Keep a spare coil or two around and you will always have fresh flavour on tap.

Design and feel

This is the P3's calling card. It is noticeably slim and flat, the kind of device that slides into a pocket or a small bag and forgets it is there, yet the build quality is anything but flimsy. Voopoo has finished it to look genuinely premium, often with a smart panelled front that gives it a grown-up, understated character rather than a gadgety one. A neat onboard display keeps you in the loop on charge and settings without cluttering the lines. Everything feels considered: the fire control is crisp, the pod clicks home securely, and there is a pleasing density to it that belies how little space it takes up.

The draw and how it performs

On the pull, the P3 delivers the smooth, dependable experience the Argus name promises. Adjustable airflow means you set the resistance of the draw yourself, tighten it for a snug MTL hit that echoes a cigarette, or open it out for a softer, airier vape. That flexibility is the point; the ideal draw is personal, and the P3 lets you own that choice. Voopoo's chip keeps the output even and prompt, so flavour holds its shape from the first puff of a full pod to the last, with none of the temperature swings or spitback that plague cheaper devices. It is quiet, consistent and easy to live with all day.

Battery and charging

Despite its slim frame, the P3 packs an internal rechargeable battery that will see most moderate vapers comfortably through a day, with heavier users topping up at some point in the afternoon. A USB-C port handles charging, so your phone cable does the job, and the onboard readout keeps you informed rather than guessing. Standard lithium sense applies: use a decent cable, and do not leave it charging unattended overnight. Because it recharges endlessly, there is nothing to throw away and nothing to run out of at the wrong moment, plug in, top up, keep going.

Best e-liquids to pair

To get the most from the P3, match your liquid to your coil. A tighter draw and a firm nicotine hit call for 50/50 or high-PG nic salts at 10mg or 20mg, the natural choice for anyone weaning off cigarettes. Prefer something looser and more vaporous? A higher-VG freebase liquid on a lower-resistance coil opens up sweetness and a little extra cloud. The platform handles fruits, menthols, desserts and tobaccos with equal grace, so a handful of 10ml bottles is the fun way to find your favourite pairing.

Value and running cost

Here is the practical case for the P3. The device is a one-off cost, after that your only spend is affordable bottles of e-liquid and the occasional replacement coil. Set that against the relentless weekly outlay on disposable bars and the savings stack up fast, usually paying back the kit within a month or two of regular use. You also gain full control over flavour and strength, and you generate far less waste. It is the sensible, wallet-friendly and greener way to vape.

Who it is for

The P3 is made for the vaper who wants something pocketable and good-looking without giving up control. If you are stepping away from disposables and want a slim device that keeps things simple while slashing your costs, it fits beautifully. It also suits a seasoned user who values adjustable airflow and replaceable coils in a discreet, well-dressed body. It is not aimed at big-cloud sub-ohm chasers, but for satisfying real-world vaping it is close to ideal.

Care tips

• Always prime a new coil by letting it soak for five to ten minutes before firing.
• Refill before the pod is completely empty to avoid scorching the coil on dry cotton.
• Keep the device out of direct sunlight and away from heat to protect the battery and seals.
• Wipe the pod and device contacts with a dry tissue if flavour ever seems weaker than usual.
• Rinse and fully dry the pod when moving between very different flavours to keep each one clean.

Frequently asked questions

Does the kit include e-liquid?

No, and that is by design. A refillable pod kit lets you pick your own flavour and nicotine strength, so you will need a bottle of nic salt or freebase liquid to suit your chosen coil. That freedom is one of the biggest reasons to move on from disposables.

How slim is it really?

Genuinely pocket-friendly. The P3 is one of the flatter, more discreet devices in the Argus family, easy to carry in a jeans pocket or a small bag, yet it still feels solid and well made rather than fragile.

When should I change the coil?

Most vapers find a coil lasts a week or two before flavour begins to fade, though sweeter, darker liquids shorten that. When the taste dulls or vapour drops, fit a fresh coil, keeping spares to hand makes it a ten-second job.

Can complete beginners use it?

Yes. Filling, priming and recharging are all straightforward, and the adjustable airflow lets you ease into whichever draw feels most comfortable. It is a forgiving, friendly kit to learn refillable vaping on.
