Reviewer comments on business characteristics
There are names in the vape that always make an impact. Pipeline is one of the big names category. Of course when we hear that the Pipeline 3 th the name is out, we rush. So I logically jumped on it.
The price immediately brings us back to the reason, we are on the high-end. 229 € the ticket is a sum. But we must not forget to confront him with the 2-year warranty and the seriousness of the German brand.
In short, I have the holy Pipeline 3 in my hands, and for the moment I would say….

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
… That there is nothing new under German skies. Our pipeline pro 3 is a perfect copy of the 1, 2, 2plus. Never change a winning team. Indeed, even if we would like sometimes a fantasy, or a small stylistic change, we do not regret to find this drawing. A tube of a simplicity, refined, the design reflects this sober and efficient spirit, purely Germanic.
His measurements do not change a hair, 104,5 mm long for a diameter of 22mm. The top-cap and its spring-loaded pin do not change either. We find the button guaranteed 2 million clicks with pleasure as it is neat.
The small size OLED screen is plugged into the blank opposite the button. Small but clear, it does not evolve either. The quality of the bottom-cap thread is also pleasant to find, be careful not to drop it on a hard surface, the yarns are precise but fragile.
In short, it is a Pipeline in all its splendor in grade 1.403 stainless steel.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
The pipeline offers everything you need in terms of functions and protections. Here is an exhaustive list:
- Temperature control possible with different resistive wires by adjusting the heating coefficient.
- Heat protection mode, it is a protection against overheating of the configurable coil. We regulate the cut-off time of the heating during the puff.
- Power Boost mode this one is like in K2000, when you activate it you take off faster.
- Bypass mode (unregulated but electronically protected against overloads)
- Possible adjustment of the minimum battery cut-off voltage from 2,5V to 3V
- Resistance measurement
- Battery voltage display under atomizer charge
- Adjustable screen brightness
- Adjustment and display of the scrolling velocity of the menu
- Sleep setting
- Setting of the number of activation clicks (0-5)
- Information menu
- Supported atomizer resistance range: from 0,05 to 5ohms
- Atomizer resistance range supported at 60W: from 0,17 to 2,1 ohms
- Reverse polarity protection
- Overheating protection
The pipeline is still the only one to deliver an alternating current, although I have heard here and there that this is wrong, of course these are only the claims of some detractors of this product.
There still nothing new, at the same time the mod has everything you need, so we are satisfied with the increase in power to 60 watts.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning
This is one of the rare points that annoys a bit when you buy a product with more than 200 balls. We expect something other than this square plastic tube whose two parts fit together in an unpleasant noise. Nothing, except for the mod inside, and I forgot this cardboard sheath soberly decorated with the filigree design of the mod, on the back of which you are told that you will have to go on the internet to download its mode. job because it turns out to be a bit complex.
In short, a mini scandal, please Mr Dicodes give your best seller a presentation worthy of the name.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
This mod is compact, easy to transport. It does not suffer from any major defect and in addition it offers you (it is my opinion) one of the best sensations of vape. I like to say that the vape it offers is full, perfectly smooth. It is therefore a joy, at least once you manage to master the settings. Indeed this mod as we know, offers a multitude of settings, number of clicks to enter the menu, battery cut-off voltage, screen brightness, I will not list them to you I will just show you the 'extand menu tree:
As it is illegible because it is intended to be viewed in A4 format, I invite you to download the user guide by clicking HERE.
That's it, all this must be managed with a single button and multiple scrollable screens, where the slightest uncontrolled click exposes you to a ride in the middle of the various menus and functions to be able to return to your blunder.
There is something to break your head a bit, especially at the beginning. The game is worth the effort, but what a lot of effort.

The mood ticket of the reviewer
Pipeline 3 continues the quiet path opened by its predecessors. It doesn't change much except for the extra 20 watts.
But let's be clear, this mod is already provided at the base of everything you need. In addition, its simple and refined design is a real pleasure for the eye. We are facing a beautiful German, who breathes, seriousness, class, sobriety, and efficiency. The vape it offers is always according to my tastes one of the best on the market.
Beyond the slightly alienating side of the tuning mode and the mediocre packaging, you have an indisputable Top Mod.
Good vape
