Reviewer comments on business characteristics
The Phébé range of Titanide has no less than 6 high-end mods. The quality of the work is exceptional and feels perfectly in use.
For each model there is a dedicated clearomizer in order to use it as a hybrid, namely that the pin of the reservoir is in direct contact with the positive pole of the accumulator.
The atomizer remains compatible with the Kanger BDC, VOCC and VaporWerxUSA KR103 coils.
But today the review will rather be based on the hits themselves.
Manufactured in titanium, so almost indestructible and scratch-resistant, Titanide even offers customization for its tubes. The locking ring of the switch, also called the locking ferrule, is in 24 carat gold plated brass except for the 26650 model where it is in titanium. The contact screws remain in brass.
Each mod is guaranteed for LIFE by the manufacturer, its investment and therefore profitable over the years ... since the acquisition goes directly into the family heritage.
Let's find out more about these exceptional mods ...

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
Absolutely everything fits together perfectly: a thread quality bordering on perfection. Whether it is the thread of the safety ferrule or even that of the top cap, it gives the impression that there is oil. No noise, no addicts, it's perfectly fluid.
Titanium does not take fingerprints, the only place there may be is on the safety ferrule.
For his switch, mama mia, it's butter. A flexibility and a conductivity which completely stand out… it is extraordinary.
If you are using a pin battery, you only need to remove the two o-rings at the bottom of the mod to make the adjustment.
The mod's drop volt is almost zero with four thousandths of loss. Suffice to say nothing, it is not felt on the vape it provides, perfectly smooth. The mods are designed to work with IMR (Lithium Manganese) batteries.
It is possible to disassemble the mod entirely to be able to clean it in depth and not lose anything in conductivity. Ditto for the switch. To do this, all you have to do is keep the switch pressed, and using a large flat screwdriver, loosen the screw located at the bottom of the tube.
A small cleaning once every two weeks will allow you not to lose any conductivity, and to maintain optimal comfort of use.
It is not easy to adjust the pin, in fact, after removing the top cap, you have to put it upside down and tap on the pin to bring it up. Then, you have to put it back on the mod, and screw the clearomizer or dripper until the pin makes contact with the battery. These mods are clearly intended for use as a dedicated set up, and not to support four atomizer changes per day ... the quality of conductivity seems to have a price to pay ... and as we will see later , this will undoubtedly be the only flaw that we can blame this mod.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
The range has six mods, five of which are compatible with dedicated hybrid clearomizers.
Each mod is named as Titanide Phébé 14500, 14650, 18350, 18500, 18650 and 26650.
The figures correspond to the battery model used with the mod.
The design is the same for everyone, only the 26650 differs, the safety ferrule is not gold plated brass, but titanium. The ring is a little more worked because it has laser engravings.
In this picture we can see from left to right: 14500, 14650, 18350, 18500, 18650 and 26650
As a vent for the heat, the brand's logo is laser-cut .... well seen! The aesthetics thus remains perfect.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning
The drawer-size cardboard box gives it all the protection it needs to get to your home.
When you open it you will find the mod in a foam covered with soft black velvet.
On the front of the box, inserted in a silvery elliptical shape, we can perfectly read the name of the manufacturer with the site and “MADE IN FRANCE”. An elegant curve is visible once the box is closed.

Vapelier's rating in terms of ease of use: 5/5
Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
It is a different type of vape than vaping on a mechanical mod. It is necessary to have a minimum of knowledge on the realization of resistances, the different types of wires to build them, and to master the law of OHM. With these two little reminders you are all set.
You also need to know what your battery can take as discharge in amperes and thus make your assemblies a bit above the limits in order to keep a safety margin and avoid degassing and death of the battery. Finally, last point, avoid discharging your batteries below the 3,2 volts threshold in order to give them a longer life.
Then it's up to you to see if you are more of a dripper or a clearomiser…. My configuration for the test suits me perfectly, a double coil dripper for a value of 0,15 ohm, gives me a perfect vape for me.

The mood ticket of the reviewer
What a pleasure to vape on such a mod. The conductivity is perfect and nothing comes to alter it.
The vape is is smooth is pleasant ... it is indescribable and really out of the ordinary ... no electronic mod will ever be able to compete with such a feeling ... never.
I wish all those who like the vape on mechanical mod to have the chance to test a model of the range.
Admittedly its investment is expensive but in case of breakage, know that Titanide guarantees for life all its mods. We are fortunate in France to have a know-how, as well as craftsmen continuing to exploit it for our greatest satisfaction.
I'm thinking of falling for one of these mods (please don't tell my wife…), I have a dripper that suits her perfectly… look… what a beautiful set-up isn't it?
Good vape to all.
