Arizer ArGo

[-dab8-]

Mine just got here Saturday. I think I love it? Going to play with the fury 2 pods a bit, but the flavor from the stems without the pods is pretty great.

It’s small! Smaller than I expected. This was a very pleasant surprise.

Not sure I love the part that rises up to cover the stem. Seems cheap and likely to break. Hopefully just FEELS figidity as I haven’t heard of anyone having any trouble.

I just got mine last week and really like it. I’ve already used it on the go a couple of times and I always leave the top part down.

I have an IQ too and like the ArGo better.

I have had mine for months and the 'cover' has never been flipped up.

All pretty common observations. I can't recall anyone not being impressed?

Congratulations to both of you, good choice (but I guess you've figured that out on your own?). BTW, before you ask, the factory 18650 is the hands down best choice to power this guy. Other versions either don't have the minimal power needed or have sacrificed more capacity (run time) than is necessary to get power potential we can't use. Top pick on Arizer's part.....go figure. Many others will work ArGo but the Panasonic NCR18650B can't be beat at this point in time.

Regards to all.

While the fanboys may take my Argo away from me, I prefer my Fury(s) to my Argo which has seen little
Or no action.

First, it’s form factor is ho-hum boring, no aesthetics, something geezers might find alluring; secondly,
It takes forever to warm up, while a Fury comes up to speed lickitysplit!

Lastly, the glass stem protector seems like an afterthought of a sophomoric design student. YMMV

Perhaps, one of these days I might try it out (when I have ample waiting time) again, when I periodically
Charge it. (or I could just take the 18650 out, a definite + for the Argo)


PS POTV came out with a Fury clone, + a unique attachment

I strongly considered a fury 2 given all the hype, and the great 420 prices (under $100), and that it take capsules. If it had a replaceable battery I would already own one.

I still may get one for concerts and such; it seems like the most durable out and about option other than maybe cartridges.

I love the form factor of the Argo, but I agree the stem protector could be better.

The large-ish rectangular form must be attractive to old(er) people, more substantial
To hold on to when one has arthritis; while the small(er) Fury feels nice n’ stealth-like
To the young?

Lol older people. I’ll take that as a compliment. Or maybe it means I just write like an old person. Hmmm...

Also I don’t know anyone that doesn’t have a large black rectangle on their person at any given moment, often made by Apple or Samsung.

Your fury isn’t pictured. It would be neat to see them side by side since you are comparing them.

I have cartridges for true stealth that no other vape can compete with. I have an Argo, fog, and vapcaps for all the other times.

 

[LabPong]

Fury vapor = subpar
Argo vapor = very good

I use mine like this.

I can see why you might think so, but ironically it seems just the opposite is true? In case you don't know him, and IMO you should, our very own @Vitolo is doing some truly incredible work supporting that part of our family. Older, often complete novices, with critical health related issues:

His 'favorite' vape for these 'customers' is F2, and he should know? ArGo can actually be hard to hold onto once it gets hot. I find it so, as has been discussed here (and in my personal experience). Not so with F2. He also favors 'dosing capsules' which can be pre filled for easy use by those with limited dexterity.

Good show there are so many fine vapes in the marketplace these days for us to pick from.

Regards to all.

Here's my observations:

Fury 2 cloud production: very good
ArGo cloud production: subpar

Fury 2 form factor: very good
ArGo form factor: subpar (stem's too short – and the flip up lid? seriously?)

Fury 2 heat up time: very good
ArGo heat up time: subpar

Fury 2 portable usage: very good
ArGo portable usage: subpar (no dosing caps – Fury dosing caps do work with the ArGo)

Fury 2 flavour: good (very good with glass mouthpiece)
ArGo flavour: very good

1, truth be told, they are (physically) roughly the same size, it’s prolly a psychological thang; I like the quick heat up, prolonged waiting ups my angst! Looks cute, 2.

Here y’Argo. Plus, OG Fury:

If I wanna B (stealthy), I would fly with a CCell Dart (but since Mass went legat, no one gives a hot shit what you pack). LOL

But, since it is 90%+ THC, it kicks my butt each and every time

Warning. Image is LARGE

"First, it’s form factor is ho-hum boring, no aesthetics, something geezers might find alluring; secondly,

Because the Fury 2 form factor is anything to write home about? I'd take removable batteries over a 5 second longer heat-up any day of the week.

"Lastly, the glass stem protector seems like an afterthought of a sophomoric design student. YMMV"
The glass stem protector does the job that it's meant to do. Since it's so basic, I'd love to hear you improve upon it...

"Perhaps, one of these days I might try it out (when I have ample waiting time) again, when I periodically

No one is charging their ArGo. You just insert fresh batteries and off you go. Enjoy waiting for your Fury 2 to charge...oh wait, you forgot to complain about that part, or the plastic taste.

Donno about you 56+, I have both versions of the Fury, plus its Daddy, a Fierce, so no issues about batteries.

Don’t have to worry about the Argo either, I have as many 18650 as some folks have AAs.

Perhaps Arizer is not my thang (I still have an unopened new Air 1 from some years ago, sitting in my unopened Pile. Plus a few OG Air, some Solos

. . . I'd take removable batteries over a 5 second longer heat-up any day of the week . . .

I must admit to more than a little skepticism on your stated heat-up time differential, with all due respect, so I conducted my own test.

Heat up time results (full battery charge, from off to 180º C, empty oven):

Fury 2: 13.32 seconds
ArGo: 93.02 seconds

The ArGo took 79.7 seconds longer than the Fury 2 to reach the same temperature.

For the sake of clarification: are you saying that when you tested the heat-up time of your ArGo and your Fury 2 side by side it took only 5 seconds longer for the ArGo to reach the same temperature?

 

[-dab8-]

If their was one vape that was best for everyone’s needs, we wouldn’t have an ever growing marketplace full of different vapes.

Argo is a great portable session vape, with great flavor, and replaceable batteries. It can take the fury 2 dosing caps, or you can bring along an extra stem. There are longer stems, and cooling stems, and water pipe adapters available.

If less than 30 second heat up time is a concern, there are plenty of on demand vapes available.

 

[stark1]

MODs please delete. Got totally baked.

80s = 5s longer wen UR baked? (A minute, and a half. Unthinkable.)

Kidding aside, and aside from the longish heating time, and looks only the ugly can appreciate,
The Argo could be a nice session vape (once it finally heats up).

I resemble that remark.................carry on.

Yeah. I'm sitting at home at 10:20 in the morning timing vape heat-up times.

I'm not a temperamental child so 20 seconds or 90 seconds doesn't really matter to me in terms of heat-up time.

 

[stark1]

Possibly U have plenty of time in UR hands (since retirement)?

Many people come to these threads in order to decide which vaporizer is a good fit – and I cannot doubt that such persons appreciate accurate claims, since this allows them to make an informed decision on their purchases.

To say that the ArGo takes only 5 seconds longer than the Fury 2 to reach temperature is not an accurate claim.

Luckily you're not a "temperamental child" – otherwise the merit of objectivity might escape you.

Are you one too? Stand by while I flash you the secret hand sigh.......

Amen, Brother!!! I too want FC to be a reliable source of 'the straight poop' so folks can make informed decisions. We want no less 'coming from the other side'?

Opinions are fine, great even. Provided they're sincere and have something to back them up. Complex issues, much of which is unfortunately subjective. Collectively we are much wiser than any individual. IMO we are obligated to keep it between the ditches with our advice, so it may be trusted.

Well done, JC.

I guess mighty users are retired too since it takes up to 120 seconds to heat up.

Good luck with ensuring all posters aren’t vague, incorrect or exaggerate.

Have fun with that.

I have never sought to ensure such a thing – nor would I.

I am responsible only for my own words, and I always seek objectivity in the hope of helping others make informed decisions.

This should not be too difficult to understand.

I just heated up my ArGo to 356f/180c and it took less than 60 sec. I did notice that when I heated it to 370-380f it takes a while longer. Doesn’t really bother me though. I bought it for the portability, battery life, and ease of loading/cleaning.

I owned a Mighty and Crafty for almost 2 years and I prefer my Solo 2/ArGo. I never have to worry about battery life and loading/cleaning is easy. I don’t see the need for pods. I just use a doob tube to load my stems.
