Clean design, excellent machining quality
Simple but very functional display
Fire button very nice, but a little too small for my taste
Considering the price, the thread of the bottom cap could have been better

Reviewer's comments on functional features
A very precise mod, with a homemade chipset, formidable efficiency!
The signal (at 200 kHz) sent by the mod is alternating, the resistance measurement is done in a conventional way, but also in alternating mode and taking into account the inductance of the resistive, in order to better adapt the setting. The heat of the resistance is taken into account for the same purpose.

The mood ticket of the reviewer
An excellent electronic mod, very sober, well machined, with innovative ideas.
Using an alternating signal, and measuring the temperature of your resistance and thus adapt the signal is an absolutely brilliant idea.
You go with this mod, be able to vape in peace, without taking the lead with complex settings, because basic, it is enough.
For the more advanced, the Pro contains an advanced menu to go further in the settings.
An extension is available to switch its battery format to 18650 with almost nothing to change size! A feat!
We regret a package without notice and a box worthy of an entry-level manufacturer. A shame !
Note that the design of my Pipeline Pro is not original, I had it laser engraved to personalize it
