Reviewer comments on business characteristics
Artery Vapor is a rather discreet brand in France. Today, she is able to penetrate the French market with a first-vapoteur-type product, intended more particularly for the fairer sex.
The LadyQ adopts the look of a high-end cosmetic product.
It is a complete set-up consisting of a 1000mah battery and an atomizer with a capacity of 1,5ml, mounted on a retractable base. This set-up uses proprietary resistors, but it is also compatible with the resistors aspires Nautilus BVC.
The price seems to me to be quite related to this product, the seriousness of which could be doubted. Indeed, the concept is a little “gadget”, the tube of lipstick that turns into an e-cig, at best it looks like James Bond, at worst it makes Kinder. In one case, it's class and in the other… loooose. Let's see the result !!!

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
When you open the box and discover this product, it is impossible not to make the immediate connection with a high-end cosmetic product. The copy is just perfect: the colors, the materials, the style… it's a perfect camouflage, capable of deceiving the customers of the Nocibé or Sephora brands…
The set-up adopts a square section, most of which has a uniform varnished color (black, red or pink). We notice that the top is a kind of golden cubic piece nested in the colored section. The illusion is perfect, I immediately recognized one of my wife's many beauty products. Chanel, Dior, Guerlain, I don't really know, but in any case, it's something like that.
On one side, there is a discreet “Lady Q” engraving and, on another, the micro USB port and the brand. The underside is a plastic bottom typical of this type of packaging. It hides the touch button to start and shoot.
It's very elegant, but where's my e-cig?
To reveal the atomizer, you will simply remove the golden part.
By separating it from the battery, you will discover that it hides an atomizer, equipped with a pirex tank with a capacity of 1,5ml. We put the part back in the battery housing, and here is our e-cig that appears.
It is very pretty and elegant, the girls will fall for this nice look.
The very reasonable weight, the overall quality satisfactory in view of the price, its small footprint (89mm x 21mm closed version, 118mm x 21mm in deployed version), make this Lady Q the ideal companion to be slipped into your pocket or your little one handbag.
Let's see how it works.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
If I dared, I might start like this:
“Tap the 'Q' 5 times and it starts up.” ! Don't see any sort of je ne sais quoi of disrespect for the weaker sex, it's just an insignificant touch of humor and, I admit, pretty mediocre. (editor's note: did you go to circus school?)
A bright green halo surrounds the touch button to confirm startup, the LED color will change depending on the battery charge level (green up to 80%, yellow from 80 to 30% and red below 30% ).
The battery is equipped with the necessary protection systems: against short circuits, against overheating, cut-off at 8 seconds and, of course, a discharge limit.
Let's talk about the atomizer: in addition to being retractable, our little atomizer fills up, it is enough to unscrew the top-cap to reveal the two small openings.
The atomizer is equipped with proprietary resistors type vertical coil. There is also an airflow adjustment ring. Indeed, you can rotate a silver piece of the base. This "square ring" has a rectangular skylight, there are four positions (one per face). It goes from very tight to medium air. The system is practical and quite accurate.
A primo product, simple and accessible, which does not suffer from any lack.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning
Here again, we are in the world of cosmetics. The scabbard features a photo of the product, and if it weren't for the ridiculous nicotine warnings, one might miss it by ignoring that it's an electronic cigarette it is.
Once removed the cardboard tunnel, we discover a sober black box that bears only the name of the brand in a golden typography.
Inside, our Lady Q and two small black boxes with a golden band. The content is written in white: USB cable and accessories. So we have a USB cable, a spare pyrex, a spare resistor and seals.
The experts will undoubtedly recognize the spirit of the mark worn by Karl L.
Of course, there is a notice but it is not translated ... too bad.
It's clean, strongly inspired in every sense of the word and, for the price, the pack is very complete.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
The filling is easy, especially if you use conventional 10ml bottles with fine tips. The Lady Q is ultra-easy to carry. Compact, it is really made to slip into a purse but you will also put it in a pocket.
The retractable system will prevent you from breaking the pyrex (fragile) of the tank, it will also avoid unwanted shoots facilitated by the touch sensitive button if you forget to extinguish it before putting it away.
Moreover, on this subject, the button is very responsive and, if you put your Lady Q standing, usually nothing happens, unless it is on a metal surface. On this type of surface, the fire button is inevitably activated.
The capacity of the battery is 1000mAh which does not allow you to hold a whole day especially with resistors in 0,7Ω. However, the reload is fast and the system allows you the vape during the loading.
The vape? It is completely in line with the standards of this market sector. Resistances are very correct, the airflow system is also effective and the restoration of flavors very honest.
No big defects, the product works very well, it is rather practical. Just beware of the very sensitive touch switch.

The mood ticket of the reviewer
With the Lady Q, the Chinese Artery will undoubtedly attract the favors of novice vapers or those more seasoned who like discreet and classy set-ups.
Indeed, by choosing to give his latest starter kit the appearance of a luxury cosmetic product, it's a safe bet that the girls will absolutely want to slip one in their bags. With this “so pretty” look, I would say they are comfortable making 50-60% of the way to seduction.
Once the little gem is transformed into an e-cig, I think the charm will continue to operate, at least for beginners. The set-up is easy to use and the vape it provides is very correct and this, in particular, thanks to the Aspire Nautilus type coils, formidably effective.
The autonomy is certainly a little tight but the charging function via the micro USB is passthrough, which should compensate a bit.
For more advanced vapers, this little set-up will undoubtedly have a slightly gadget side, but the latter could nevertheless be seduced by its so advantageous physique. As for the vape, it's rather tight so made for indirect inhalation.
A nice little product, which is not just a gadget, but a real little set-up which should win the support of beginners and intermediates looking for a sexy set. Some small reservations, on the reliability of the fire button over time and on the durability of the gold on the base which undergoes friction with each installation.
But given the price, the risk is minimal, so ladies, treat yourself.
Good vape
