The arc GT2 is the latest addition to the arc family, and its the first high end arc device built around the GTL atomizer head range. It’s aimed squarely at MTL vapers who want a bit more power in reserve, without having to constantly fiddle with settings to get there.
First Impressions
Picking the GT2 up for the first time, it feels good in the hand. There’s a proper weight to it, enough to know its not some flimsy bit of plastic, but it doesn’t feel like your lugging around a brick either. The metal and glass tank looks the part too, its got a nice quality balance that a lot of kits at this price point don’t quite manage.
In the box you get:
- 1 x arc GT2 battery
- 1 x GT2 tank
- 2 x GTL 0.8ohm atomizer heads
- 1 x USB-C cable
- 1 x User manual
Introducing the arc GT2
If you’re already sold on the arc GT2, here’s everything you need to start vaping, but do bear in mind that the kit itself contains the battery, a tank, and coils. We’re just including the extra components here in case you want a spare or a different coil resistance.

Using the arc GT2
Setup is straightforward, attach the tank, fill it up through the sliding top fill (which is quick and doesn’t leave you with liquid all over your fingers), then five clicks of the button to power on.
The wattage dial doubles up as the power button, and its one of the nicer parts of the device. It’s tactile in a way that feels deliberate, you can tell when you’ve clicked into a setting rather than just hoping you have. Dialling in your vape is easy enough with the arc GT2 that you won’t need to keep referring to the manual.
The airflow slider is smooth too, no grinding or catching as you move it, which is more than I can say for some kits I’ve used. And the lock switch is one of my favourite bits, its robust and it clicks into place properly. I’ve had kits before where the lock feels like it might slip on its own in your pocket, this one doesn’t feel like that at all. Once it’s locked, its locked.
The tank connector (a standard 510) also feels strong. It screws in tight and doesn’t feel like its going to work loose with everyday use, which matters if your the kind of vaper who’s chucking it in a bag or pocket without much thought.
Battery Life
With a 3200mAh battery, this thing has some serious stamina. Totally Wicked reckon around 2.5 to 3 days for light to moderate use, and that tracks with what I found, though if your a heavier vaper you’ll probably be reaching for the USB-C cable a fair bit sooner than that.
Coil compatibility
One thing that stands out about the GT2 is the massive coil resistance range it supports, you can plug anything with a 0.2 – 3.0ohms resistance into the battery without any issues – providing the coil fits the tank you’re using, of course.
Speaking of, the arc GT2 tank takes GTL coils from Totally Wicked, but thanks to the standard 510 connector on the battery, you can pretty much use any tank on the GT2, if the coil within falls between 0.2-3.0ohms.
Would I recommend the arc GT2?
If your after an MTL kit that feels a cut above, the arc GT2 is well worth a look. It’s easy to use, it’s built with a level of quality that shows in the tank, the dial, and the lock switch, and the battery will comfortably see you through a few days without needing to charge.
It’s not the kind of device that tries to overwhelm you with settings, its just a solidly built kit that does what it says on the tin, and does it well.
