Argus GT - coil compatibility?

[New_Vaper]

It wont be dangerous if you vaped by accident in temperature control (tc) if you are using non tc wire but usually on mods you will get a poor vape if doing so ..... however, you must vape in temp control mode if using Ni 200 coils (Ni) or titanium coils(Ti)
Neither of the voopoo coils are of that material i believe so just use normal wattage mode , Also if you are using coils with stainless steel wire coils (ss) then they are able to be used in either temp control (ss) or normal wattage mode.

To get out of temp control mode on the argus gt , click three times on the fire button which will then take you to smart mode then click three times more and that will take you into wattage mode (R) which is adjustable above the smart mode maximum, or to get out of the screen which displays all three temp control modes, select one of the tc options by holding down the fire button and then when in temp control mode selected , click the fire button three times which will then select smart mode (S) and then click three times more which will take you into wattage mode (R) which can be adjustable above smart modes recommended wattage max setting.

Hope that helps.

Wow, a lot of info there for a dummy like me to take in

One thing with this Argus GT that I cannot figure out: how to clear the puff counter. If I go by the user manual instructions, which advise to press fire and the minus button at the same time - nope, this just brings up the chip ID info. Fire and plus button gives a lock/unlock function (not even sure what this is for!). I've googled how to clear puff counter and all the online advice seems to be the same as the user manual: Fire and minus button.

Any ideas?!

just tried on mine pressing down and fire and it cleared counter. I use it in rba mode though that shouldn't make any difference. I think it could just be timing to press both at exact time.

Edit, pressing up, down and fire brings up chip ID on mine so maybe you are pressing both up and down.

As said above by frogprince, press and hold fire button and minus key clears the puff counter.
Hope that helps.

I'm definitely only pressing Fire and Minus simultaneously, and it's still bringing up the chip ID info on the display. Tried about a dozen times now with the same result! weird...

Maybe you've got an Australian mod

Maybe you've got an Australian mod

Think I might try a firmware update, it's really the only thing I can think of now...

from past posts i wouldnt bother trying a software update unless the mod is totally broken as the majority that have posted on here with many mod makes theve all borked and killed the mod totally.
puff counter is a gimmic and not really needed unless you have ocd and are affected by numbers and have to vape exactly a certain amount

as youve tried both fire and down together try pressing down and then fire or fire and down but a split second appart and hold for a couple of seconds.

unless you have ocd.

Erm, yes!

Yep, that worked. Fire button first for a half second, and then click Minus: job done. It's just to try and get an average idea of the amount of puffs between coil changes - I'd gotten around 1400 from the 0.17ohm until it started to taste a bit off. Does that sound a lot?

Re what you've said about firmware updates, I think you're right. I've seen phones and laptops bricked from a firmware or BIOS update - if it can happen to them, I'd imagine it can happen to an e-cig board. If it ain't broke...

 

[MrDJ]

yay, job done

me never looked at puff counter so would have no idea on an average nuber per coil.
think its pure random as i can have a coil last for two weeks then the net one last 3 days and used exactly the same.

Jeez. As with anything, quality might differ slightly from item to item, but 2 weeks of use up against 3 days of use?! Surely must be a defective coil, I'd be looking to engage with the vendor to see if they'd be willing to offer a replacement...?
