Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the PAL SE Pod Kit from Artery. The PAL SE Pod Kit was supplied for the purpose of this review by Hugo from Artery.
https://www.arteryvapor.com/project/pal-se-kit/
Introduction
Artery are a brand of their parent company EHPro and since the invasion of pod devices have concentrated on pod and AIO devices while EHPro have concentrated more on mods and atty's.
Here we have an open pod system which if it had been released about 8 months ago would of been giving the very popular Caliburn a run for it's money and after revisiting the Caliburn while testing the Pal SE device dare i say come out on top.
The device like with the Caliburn is both draw and button activated but the Pal SE has a much bigger battery, Type C USB and 2 different resistance pods. Coming in 4 stylish design options the Pal SE is worth a closer look!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Pal SE Pod Kit came in cardboard packaging and on opening i was met by a stylish looking device with Carbon Fiber inserts both front and back but other options are available. The colour/design options are Black Carbon Fiber, Brown Leather, Black Leather and Royal White, the Leather versions have Leather inserts while the Royal White is a White device with Blue fused metallic panels, also included is the obligatory lanyard!
The device reminds me of the Caliburn in so many ways and it's form factor is like a much chunkier Caliburn but has some extra weight which in part will be the larger battery. The device has a high quality Zinc Alloy construction and the comfortable Delrin mouthpiece protrudes from the top of the device. The one i received as mentioned has Carbon Fiber Inserts and has a Gun Metal chassis and fire button. The Zinc Alloy large round fire button is towards the top on the front insert and below we have an LED for battery status indication. On both sides we have vertical slots cut out that act as viewing windows to see your juice level, also on one side we have a Type C USB port for charging. Finally on the base we have safety stamps and venting just in case.
The device as mentioned has some reassuring weight and is slightly bigger than the average for this type of device but is still both very ergonomic and portable.

The Pod
You get two pods included which is very good to see, the pre-installed pod houses a 1.0ohm coil with Sea Grass Fiber Cotton and the other included pod houses a 1.4ohm coil with the same wicking material, the resistance is marked on the coils but also the 1.0ohm pod has a Red band towards the bottom. The coils are fixed and not replaceable so once the flavour has muted to the point it's no longer acceptable (differs from person to person) the whole pod needs replacing.
The pod is clear which is another pro and the mouthpiece get's pulled off to fill the pod as it's top-fill. When you pull the mouthpiece off you reveal 2 fill ports, looking inside the mouthpiece you can see the 2 protruding pieces that plug the ports when fitted. The ports are big enough for needle nose nozzles but glass droppers will present a problem, whichever port you use for filling air can escape from the other, filling is a stress free experience as you can clearly see the juice level with the pod being clear.
Looking at the base we can see the 2 contacts and outer magnets, we can also see the 2mm air intake that leads to the membrane switch. The pod holds 2ml of e-liquid which for both a 1.4ohm and 1.0ohm coil is acceptable and also makes it TPD compliant.
Finally down both sides of the pod we have protruding rails (one each side centrally) that slot nicely into the cutout slots at the top of the device to form viewing windows.
