5–30 W power and 1500 mAh battery
The ARGUS G3 features a built-in 1500 mAh battery and GENE AI 2.0 electronics. The power can be adjusted from 5 to 30 W according to the pod’s resistance and the desired draw. The device detects the inserted pod and adjusts the default power setting accordingly. This lets you switch from a tighter MTL to a more open RDL draw without changing the entire device.
Charging is via USB-C with 5 V / 2 A support. The manufacturer states that a full charge takes approximately 45 minutes when using a suitable power source. The exact charging time and battery life depend on the selected power and usage habits.
Color TFT display and controls
The 0.96-inch TFT display shows the set power, pod resistance, battery level, and puff counter. Three themes—SMART, SPORT, and MUSIC—and two animations are available to customize the interface. These are not three different vaping modes. Smart power adjustment based on resistance remains active with all three themes.
The device activates automatically when you inhale, rather than by pressing a button. The side button is used to adjust the power and control the display. The display can be turned off without switching off the entire e-cigarette.
MTL and RDL: airflow adjustment
You can adjust the amount of incoming air using the slider on the side. A tighter setting combined with higher resistance provides a tight MTL (mouth-to-lung) draw. More open airflow with lower resistance allows for a looser RDL draw. For the ARGUS Top Fill V2 pod, the manufacturer recommends 18–30 W at 0.4 ohm, 14–18 W at 0.7 ohm, and 10–14 W at 1.0 ohm.
ARGUS Top Fill V2 pods and iCOSM CODE 2.0
The European package includes two ARGUS Top Fill V2 pods with resistances of 0.4 and 0.7 ohm. Each has a 2 ml capacity and integrated mesh heating. E-liquid is added through the top-side fill port, so you don’t need to remove the entire POD to refill it.
iCOSM CODE 2.0 technology combines mesh heating, absorbent Golden Cotton material, an enlarged Mega-Core core, and a Liquid-Seal Shield design to prevent leaks. The entire pod is replaced, not just the coil. The manufacturer’s claim of longer lifespan depends on the e-liquid used and usage habits.
All compatible accessory types
The ARGUS G3 is part of the ARGUS Pod Family system. The manufacturer confirms compatibility with ARGUS Top Fill V2, first-generation ARGUS Top Fill, ARGUS SNAP, and ARGUS POD Empty Cartridge pods. The ARGUS Multi-Ohm Cartridge is also compatible, with 0.7 and 1.0 ohm resistances supported on the ARGUS G3. Its 0.4 ohm setting is reserved for the ARGUS G4 and selected newer models.
- ARGUS Top Fill Cartridge V2: integrated heating, 0.4 / 0.7 / 1.0 ohm resistances, 2 ml European capacity.
- ARGUS Top Fill Cartridge (first generation): an older pod with integrated heating for the ARGUS Pod Family system.
- ARGUS SNAP Top Fill Cartridge: integrated heating and top-fill e-liquid port.
- ARGUS Multi-Ohm Cartridge: 0.7 and 1.0 ohm modes on the ARGUS G3, not 0.4 ohm.
- ARGUS POD Empty Cartridge: empty pod for replaceable ITO-M0 0.5 ohm, ITO-M1 0.7 ohm, ITO-M2 1.0 ohm, and ITO-M3 1.2 ohm heads.

Construction and safety features
The ARGUS G3 combines zinc alloy with polycarbonate elements. Weighing approximately 65 g, it remains compact despite its built-in battery and display. The GENE AI 2.0 chip offers seven safety features: protection against excessively long draws (5 seconds), short circuits, low voltage, overcharging, overheating, overcurrent, and incorrect battery polarity.
