Reviewer comments on business characteristics
Artery is a rather unknown brand in France, their most famous product is probably a small box named Nugget.X.
La Pal One Pro presents itself as a product that rides on the return of MTL and vape at low power, ideal for nicotine salts and CBD with 1.2 resistance Ω but it also promises some versatility by bringing you to the threshold of DL with its 0.7 resistance Ω.
A tank of 3ml, a battery of 1200mAh, a nice look that will not be without reminding you a little something.
This new kit is found at the price of 54.90 € at our partner which places it rather in the high range of this type of product.
So let's see what gives us Artery for this price because I admit to being inhabited by a certain curiosity.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
If you know the world of vaping, you will immediately find the stylistic affiliation of the Pal One Pro. Indeed, it is obvious that Artery was inspired a lot by the famous and almost untouchable, for the common people, “Billet Box”.
Entirely made of aluminum, the Pal One Pro is rather compact and light enough. The design is quite simple, simple lines without much frills.
On the front face in the left corner, we find the switch, just above on the “Top-Cap”, we find a short Drip-Tip in ultem.
The back side does not house anything in particular. On the bottom of one of the edges, we can see the micro USB port and the two small holes in the airflow.
The front and back panels are removable. Under that of the front panel, there is nothing special. On the other hand, when you remove the one on the back side, you access the integrated 3ml tank and a small screw for adjusting the air inlet.
This little Box is rather pretty, the design is effective (even if a bit pumped), the build quality is very correct, the fact that we are dealing with aluminum and not Zamac reinforces the price a little more higher than average.
A promising little product, let's see what happens next.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
This compact Box kit is very, very simple. In fact, it is about a battery which delivers a constant current of 3.7V, equipped with a small housing which contains a tank equipped with a resistance and which takes the form of an “all in one” way Box .
You can access the tank by removing one of the hoods, it is equipped with a sliding window to allow filling.We can see the resistance and a small chimney, everything is very simply nested and the whole is held in place by the part in metal where the Drip-Tip sits which is screwed into the frame.
Just below this compartment, a small golden screw which is used to adjust the air intake, it is also the only adjustment.
The 1200mAh battery is charged by the Micro-USB port, no fast charge but a pass-through system.
The Box is well protected, no risk in sight, anti short circuits, discharge limit ... in short, the necessary.
An ultra-simple product, quite in phase with what works well in the range of Stater Kits.

Vapelier's note on packaging: 5 / 5 
Reviewer's comments on conditioning
This little Aio Box comes to us in a clean packaging with a certain visual neutrality. A sheath that features the photo of your new toy, surrounded as it should by the brand and name of the product.
The code scratches, the normative pictograms, the technical description, the contents of the pack occupy, as always, the other faces of this over-packaging.
Once removed, access to a white box on which is inscribed, in black letter, the name of the Box. Inside, we find the Pal One Pro, a USB cord, two resistors, one of 0.7Ω and one of 1.2 Ω as well as a tank maintenance kit.
To complete the whole, a notice in several languages. In short, a very correct package without great originality but very complete.
Appreciations in use
- Transport facilities with the test atomizer: Ok for an inside jacket pocket (no deformations)
- Disassembly and cleaning facilities: Easy, even standing in the street, with a simple tissue paper
- Easy to change batteries: Not applicable, the battery is only rechargeable
- Did the mod heat up? No
- Has there been any erratic behavior after a day of use? Yes
- Description of situations in which the product has experienced erratic behavior
I would not speak here of an erratic behavior of the electronics but of the regular leakage of the liquid by the airflow and since it is an AIO system, I find that this type of problem can appear in this item.
Vapelier's rating in terms of ease of use: 4/5
Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
La Pal One Pro is compact, it slips easily into a pocket (remember to have a piece of paper handkerchief or other to wrap it). The start-up is simple, filling, waiting around ten minutes. As for filling, the system is quite practical, we slide the small plastic window to access the filling slot. The tank has a good capacity when it does not empty itself.
Once the ten minutes past, just press 5 once the switch to turn on the Box. We support and we vape.
The only thing you can influence is the air inlet, you turn a small golden screw to vary the size of the air inlet. Finally, there is something else that will vary your vape, it is the choice of your resistance between 0.7Ω (DL, finally semi DL) and 1.2Ω MTL. Both work correctly but those who know the DL will probably be on the reserve with the 0.7Ω because we are not quite there.
The sensations are correct but not extraordinary, our kit is placed in the small average but do not expect miracles.
The battery has a correct capacity with its 1200mAh, it recharges in about two hours.
Finally, the ergonomics are rather average, the position of the airflow holes on the bottom of the slice means that we tend to block them with the fingers. It would have been wise to place them on the top of the edge, we would have killed two birds with one stone by improving ergonomics and probably limiting leaks.

The mood ticket of the reviewer
When discovering this little Box, I admit that I was quite enthusiastic. Indeed, the Pal One Pro is quite pretty and original even if it is very clearly inspired by the form factor of the Billet Box. The build quality is good and is reinforced by the use of real aluminum rather than the traditional Zamac.
So we are not too surprised by the price that is a little above the products in this sector.
Getting started is simple, which is a good thing for a starter kit.
The vaping sensations are similar to those provided by a “Nautilus” Clearomiser, moreover, it is possible to use Apire BVC coils.
In short, if we stop there, we can say that this product is still not bad but it is in use that its faults are revealed Indeed, I had the right to frequent leaks. For no apparent reason, the liquid is discharged through the airholes in a fairly regular manner. I tried to fight these by looking for the origin but I did not find anything tangible. I do not know if it is me, in any case I did not manage to use this box in a satisfactory way.
If we add to this the position of the airflow holes which are harmful to ergonomics, then this nice affair turns into a small disappointment.
For me this product should be avoided, even if its appearance may appeal to you, its use is far from being up to par and at the moment, there are quite a few new starter kits that work much better and are often less expensive.
Too bad for Artery who misses a great opportunity to shine, a version 2 is approaching, let's hope that the latter will not be content to be pretty like its big sister and that it will be more effective.
Good vape,
Vince.
