Review of Artery PAL 3 Pod Kit

The decision to purchase a pod-mod is being made by more and more vapers, even those who have rejected them for a long time and remained faithful to the 0.05 Ohm pod mod and the 200+ Watt box mod. This attention to sub-systems is explained by the fact that modern devices are already free of a number of problems that the first devices had, for example, they provide power and airflow adjustment. Artery Vapor has always been famous for its pod-mods, and vapers liked the PAL series the most. Deciding to continue this series, the company released the Artery PAL 3 Pod Kit, a rather interesting, practical and easy-to-use pod-mod that will definitely find a place in a vaper’s pocket.

General information

Artery PAL 3 Pod Kit is a compact pod-mod, powered by a built-in medium-capacity battery, equipped with a proprietary chipset and designed for the use of replaceable evaporators. The device looks like a small box with a drip tip sticking out on top, which fits perfectly into a pocket or clutch. The presence of a simple chipset will allow the vaper to use the device in vari-watt mode with a maximum power of 25 Watts. The removable cartridge is designed for installation of branded evaporators with a resistance of 0.7 and 1.2 Ohm. You can buy the Artery PAL 3 Pod Kit in six colors: black, red, white, blue, green and pink.

PAL 3 Device Battery Pack

It’s unlikely that anyone would argue that Artery is not as active as Smok or Voopoo, since it does not release new devices as often. But this also has a significant advantage: the company does not produce clones of its devices; each device represents a well-done job by all participants in the production process: designers, constructors, engineers, and marketers. Many vapers know the PAL series, which already includes more than a dozen devices of various formats, but the developers do not stop, so the Artery PAL 3 Pod Kit was released.

The designers of the Artery company clearly don’t get their salaries in vain, so the PAL 3 Pod Kit turned out to be very neat and stylish; it’s a small rectangular device with slightly rounded corners and edges, thanks to which it fits perfectly in the hand. The overall dimensions of the device are quite modest 83*38*16 mm, so it fits perfectly in your pocket. The design is discreet, without unnecessary decor or drawings, but the device is made in quite bright colors.

The maximum power of the Artery PAL 3 Pod Kit is 25 Watts, and it is provided by a built-in battery with a capacity of 1000 mAh – not very much, but given the high resistance of the evaporators used, autonomous operation throughout the day is guaranteed.

The battery is charged using the USB Type-C connector located on the back of the device, with a current of 1A.

Artery PAL 3 Pod Kit is equipped with a fairly simple chipset, thanks to which the vaper will have access to a variable watt mode with a power range of 5-25 watts, which can be changed with one button. The minimum resistance with which the board operates is 0.5 Ohm. The device is equipped with a small monochrome display on which you can find a minimum set of information about the operation of the device: power, battery charge level, number of puffs, voltage and resistance of the evaporator.

PAL 3 Pod Cartridge

Despite the fact that the PAL 3 Pod Kit is a fairly compact device, it uses a cartridge designed for the use of replaceable evaporators. The battery pack holds the cartridge securely using three fairly strong magnets.

The PAL 3 Pod cartridge is designed for the use of two types of evaporators with a resistance of 0.7 and 1.2 Ohm, and the manufacturer recommends filling the first with liquids based on freebase nicotine with a strength of 3-6 mg/ml and containing VG 70, and the second or stronger liquids based on freebase nicotine (6-12 mg/ml, VG50-70), or liquids based on salt nicotine (20-50 mg/ml, VG50-60).

An important positive aspect of the PAL 3 Pod is the presence of airflow adjustment. It is implemented using a small base into which the evaporator is screwed (the solution is a little outdated, but effective).

To refill the cartridge, you need to remove it from the battery pack, open the silicone plug and fill in 3 ml of liquid.

Conclusions and impressions

If a vaper is looking for a universal device for vaping liquids both on freebase and on salt nicotine, then he should definitely buy the Artery PAL 3 Pod Kit. The device will pleasantly surprise you not only with its compact size and pleasant design, but also with the ability to set power and airflow, as well as good autonomy and practicality.
