Reviewer comments on business characteristics

Unlike most drippers today, the PelsoV3 offers a versatile board with three evenly distributed studs. The originality of this dripper is the negative studs that we can move to best stick to the vape that suits us. Thus the assembly can be in single or in double coil and we can place the resistance (s) as best as possible.

KHW Mods offers a high end product on a 22m platter with an average size that allows us to keep a wide range of use of the high powered cloud to flavor on more modest rigs. However, the "worked" resistive is considerably restricted, not to say banned, since the fixing of each leg of your resistors will be tightened around the screw.

This Pelso V3 comes with an adjustable BF pin and the airflow offers several openings to fit the single or double coil but also the power you apply.


The stainless steel look is quite simple but can vary with optional accessories like the black top-cap in delrin or transparent tanks, one very airy and the other tighter, non-adjustable.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

The machining quality of the Pelso V3 is superb, both in terms of the quality and quantity of all stainless steel material, as well as the execution of the work and its shape. The finishes are neat and the sobriety of the look gives it a beautiful elegance.

The plateau is very particular since the three studs, one positive and two negative, occupy the surface in a triangular manner. Between the two negative studs, a threaded hole offers a different disposition of the contact elements by unscrewing them and rearranging even its deck to obtain a different layout.

The top of the atomizer is in three parts. The lower part consists of 2 series of 5 holes of different sizes ranging from 2.8mm to 1mm, plus an additional hole offset from the others for a diameter of 2.8mm. A ring comes to fit on it, with two holes to adjust the airflow in single opening or double to the desired size. Then the cap is screwed to lock the ring and accommodate the drip-tip with an 510 connection. This passage is of an honorable diameter of 9mm.

On the base of the plate, two seals ensure the maintenance and tightness of the tank. These joints are of good quality and their size perfectly matches their function. The threads are impeccable. All in all a nice qualitative product.

Functional features

  • Presence of air flow regulation? Yes, and variable
  • Diameter in mm maximum of the air regulation possible: 6
  • Minimum diameter in mm of the air regulation possible: 0.1
  • Air regulation positioning: Lateral positioning and benefiting resistors

  • Heat dissipation of the product: Normal

Reviewer's comments on functional features

The functions of this atomizer orient it mainly towards flavors. However, it is quite possible to make the cloud (reasonably) while respecting the energy evacuation capacity of the atomizer which offers only two airflow openings, limited and an air passage on the connection of less than 8mm when the drip-tip is placed.


The mounting possibilities are varied, ranging from a simple coil by removing one of the negative studs and leaving the remaining two offset on an edge or centered. With the two studs centered, it is also possible to run a double coil, unless the assembly is more convenient for you with the three studs.

The wire that can be used is classic and limited (with at most 0.4mm 26 gauges) because the fixing is done by placing the resistive around the thread of the screw which must then tighten with a BTR key.

The BF pin is perfectly suited to its function, ensuring the correct passage of the fluid to the plate, to soak the capillary.

Drip-Tip Features

  • Drip tip type: 510 Only
  • Presence of a Drip-Tip? No, the vapoteur will have to acquire a compatible drip-tip, in order to be able to use the product
  • Length and type of drip-tip present: No drip tip present
  • Quality of the present drip-tip: No present drip tip

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

No drip tip. It is just dismal and petty on a product of this price. Being High End doesn't mean you can afford such a dead end.

Evaluation of the packaging

  • Presence of a box accompanying the product: Yes
  • Would you say that the packaging is up to the price of the product? We make fun of us!
  • Presence of a user manual? No
  • Is the manual understandable for a non-English speaker? No
  • Does the manual explain ALL features? No

Vapelier's note on packaging: 0.5 / 5 0.5 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

A minimalist packaging in two semi-rigid plastic mini-tubes that fit together, the dripper takes place, accompanied by a BTR key and a bag of seals.

I find it scandalous for high-end products. I just feel like we're making fun of the world!

Appreciations in use

  • Filling facilities: Super simple, even blind in the dark!
  • Easy to change resistances: Difficult, requires various manipulations
  • Is it possible to use this product throughout the day with several vials of EJuice? Yes perfectly
  • Was there leak after one day of use? No
  • In the event of leaks during the tests, descriptions of the situations in which they occur:

Vapelier's note on ease of use: 4.2 / 5 4.2 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

In use, the Pelso is simple since it adapts to your needs. In double coil, the assembly is simple to do but it is imperative to use a 0.2 or 0.3mm wire, since the positive pad accumulates the two fasteners of the legs, which limits the value of the resistance and the power. However, one retains a suitable flavor for a balanced to dense steam.

In single coil, I opted for the studs positioned on an edge, so my resistance was centered in the middle of the board. With a value of 1.2Ω, the taste is correct but not as concentrated as I would have liked. The steam is just warm with good heat dissipation.

The BF pin properly performs its function to soak the capillary easily.

Recommendations for use

The mood ticket of the reviewer

This Pelso V3 remains in my opinion a good atomizer for correct flavors, but too expensive and poorly equipped compared to the market proposals in this price segment.

Too limited on the possibilities of using different resistives, this imposes single or double coil assemblies with a value between 0.6 and 2Ω. We therefore remain on a flavor-type atomizer, which is not a fault. But even there, I found that the atomization chamber is still a bit too big with airflow not always oriented as it should. The flavors are not concentrated enough in my opinion with a taste aspect that remains limited.

There is only double coil 0.8 Ω that the result was appreciable, with a good compromise flavor / steam. The cloud is possible with a thick resistive but the fixation of the legs remains perilous with an airflow sometimes too fair.

For the price, I am terribly disappointed by the sketchy packaging and an absent drip-tip which is sorely lacking. I found that indecent. The machining quality and the quantity of material are, on the other hand, two good points.
