Reviewer comments on business characteristics

The Baal version 3 is a small dripper with good performance, both on steam and flavor. Equipped with a plateau type velociy, it allows to mount double coils without any difficulty. For the more adventurous, the quad-coil will also be possible and a small tank is even dug to offer a little autonomy, even if it is restricted.

Delivered with a drip-top, the huge opening intended this dripper for big vapors, while the second top-cap offers the possibility of placing a drip-tip with an 510 connection in order to obtain beautiful flavors.

This dripper is available in four colors: copper, black, gold or steel. So you can easily tune it to your mod. You will also be able to simply acquire the tube which is sold separately to 24,90 € to change of style.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

For this test, the model on loan has a copper tank, it can easily be cleaned so that the brilliant pink color reappears or we can also keep this slightly oxidized exterior to give it a patina appearance.

The thickness of the material is sufficient to not have a tank that folds easily. On this tank, we have, on each side, a series of holes that form a kind of pyramid, to offer a very airy vape. On both sides of these airholes, the engravings are superb. One represents the name of the dripper and the other a head with demon horns. The engravings are deep and extremely well done.

The tray is made of 303 steel, it is hollowed out so as to offer a double tank to have a slight reserve of liquid, however its 0.5ml capacity remains low. The studs are rather massive and each have two holes with an appreciable diameter of 3mm for the legs of your resistors. The spacing between the studs is 0.5mm, enough to build pretty assemblies with substantial wires.

Two top-caps are provided, the base is in stainless steel and has two fins which act as an airflow reducer. The top is in delrin, which helps to reduce the heat. Two top-caps but a single drip-top with a large opening of 12mm in diameter, the second top-cap has a more standard opening to accommodate a drip-tip with an 510 connection.

Under the dripper, the pin is adjustable through a screw and a clean engraving gives us the serial number of the product.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

The function of this dripper is to be able to make big assembly in double coil.

The holes for each leg of the resistors can easily accommodate a kanthal 1mm thick and more, which suggests large assemblies for maximum steam sub-ohm with high power.

The more traditional montages are also possible using the top-cap with the 510 connection, which will be very sufficient to appreciate the flavors restored by this Baal V3

The airflow is adjustable and can go from a tight draw to very airy. The pine is also adjustable if necessary by a silver-plated copper screw and ensures a perfect and durable conductivity.

Drip-Tip Features

  • Type of drip-tip attachment: Owner but passage to 510 through a supplied adapter
  • Presence of a Drip-Tip? Yes, the vaper can immediately use the product
  • Length and type of drip-tip present: Short
  • Quality of the drip-tip present: Very good

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

The Baal V3 is supplied with a very open drip-top since the internal diameter measures 12mm. Fairly short in size, the delrin part is large, which allows not to feel the temperature intensely at high power. This drip-top acts as a top-cap and screws onto the steel part which has fins.

Another top-cap is provided but it is devoid of drip-tip. However, it is only in one part with the same steel fins as the previous one and the delrin top is totally bonded to the steel, forming only one piece with an 510 connection to fit a drip -tip standard.

Vapelier's note on packaging: 1 / 5 1 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

Although the packaging is pretty thin for a product of this price, there has been some meager effort made. 

In addition to the dripper, in a semi-rigid round cardboard box, there is an additional screw (and only one) with a seal, a top-cap that has fins and a circular delrin piece. Breakthrough in the center, this piece can dissipate even more heat under the dripper and avoids scratching the mod by screwing.

For a product in this category, I must say that we remain on his hunger, it's a shame.

Vapelier's note on ease of use: 4.4 / 5 4.4 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

Whatever the editing, the ease is at the rendezvous. The fixing of the legs is done with a very small flat screwdriver. In addition to the fun aspect of the assembly, the maintenance of the legs is excellent with solid threads, just like the threads of other parts.

The tank has a good support thanks to the seal that ensures this function and is perfectly stable.

The airflow is adjusted by rotating the top-cap and the nine holes on each side of the dripper reduce the flow accurately by eliminating one by one these openings of 2mm.

On a double coil of 0.8Ω to 29W, the flavors are pleasant, sweet and well restored.

On a 0.1Ω double coils with a worked wire, I increased the power to more than 70W, the PEEK insulation has not moved, the heat is properly distributed and the steam is substantial. However, the airflow was fully open and very airy, which favored good heat dissipation.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

The Baal V3 by El Diablo, is an interesting dripper that can provide a beautiful steam sub-ohm but also beautiful flavors according to the top-cap used. However, the combination of the two can be done by keeping one or the other of the top-caps, but it will modulate on the taste or on the clouds to, finally, remain rather classic.

The assembly of the simple coil until the quad-coil is easy to realize, the tank is restricted but appreciable for a dripper and airflow simple to regulate and effective.

The quality is correct with a tank that can be in a color copper, gold, SS or black according to your tastes.
