Argus G4: Battery drains quickly or keeps turning off
Last updated
The battery level drops faster than expected during normal use, or the device cuts out before the battery indicator reaches empty.
Why this happens
- High-drain coils drawing more current than the battery can comfortably sustain, leading to rapid voltage drop
- Using a low-resistance coil that demands discharge current the battery struggles to deliver consistently
- Battery age or condition reducing effective capacity over time
- Frequent, long draws increasing overall power consumption
How to fix it
- Switch to a coil with a higher resistance rating and test whether battery life improves. Lower-resistance coils draw significantly more current and will drain the battery faster.
- Check that the coil you are using is compatible with the device and within the recommended resistance range. If you are unsure, refer to the coil packaging or contact the retailer.
- If battery drain continues after fitting a higher-resistance coil, reduce your wattage setting if the device allows adjustment, as higher wattage increases current draw.
- Avoid leaving the device in direct sunlight or high-temperature environments, as heat can reduce effective battery performance.
- If none of the above steps resolve the issue, contact VooPoo support directly at support@voopoo.com, as the battery or internal hardware may need assessment.
Replacement pods and coils
Worn pods and coils cause most of these faults. We stock the parts that fit the Argus G4.
Other Argus G4 problems
- Device won't fire or produce vapour You press the fire button or draw on the pod and nothing happens, no vapour, no airflow, no response from the device.
- Fire button not responding or feels stuck You press the fire button and nothing happens, or the button feels stiff and unresponsive. The device may otherwise appear powered on but simply will not fire.
