First Impressions

The VooPoo Argus XT and MT Starter Kits are both aesthetically pleasing devices, it looks really good when holding in your hand. The devices are made with a combination of Zinc Alloy, silicone and Leather, making them reasonably light weight, but of a quality feel. The leather on the device provides a comfortable grip, while the silicone offers added durability. They come in a variety of colors, which may be expanded in the future, but your sure to find one that suits your taste.

The VooPoo Argus XT and MT Starter Kits are also IP67 rated, making them corrosion, shock, and water-resistant. This is a significant feature that sets these devices apart from other starter kits on the market, giving you a more premium vape. The devices can withstand immersion in water of up to a meter for 30 minutes, making them perfect for outdoor use, but don’t expect the tank to survive under water. If it were to fall in water, you would have to change the coil, but the device would still work.
