    Artery Cold Steel AIO RBA Version 1.jpg


    Artery Cold Steel AIO introduction:
    As you can see from the pictures, this is a "Dual System" Mod Pod and Box Mod kit, but it has some features that make it special.
    It is constructed of durable zinc alloy and can work with three different types of batteries (18650-20700-21700).

    Available in two distinct versions, Artery Cold Steel AIO XP and Artery Cold Steel AIO RBA Version, the latter is the version of this test.

    The Artery Cold Steel AIO RBA Version Kit comes with a 3ml capacity cartridge compatible with a refined postless rebuildable deck, the kit also includes a 510 adapter that allows you to install any atomizer just like any Box Mod.

    The Artery Cold Steel AIO XP kit comes with a 4ml cartridge, its coils are compatible with those of the Nugget GT including the RBA that can be purchased separately.

    The Artery Cold Steel can deliver a maximum power of 120W and supports VW (Low, Medium High), TC (NI_TI_SS), TCR, Curve Mode (3 options) Bypass and Voltage modes.
    The super-complete chipset through the integrated resistance detection function (can be deactivated) automatically sets any atomizer to the best wattage, negating the possibility of exceeding the physical limit of the Coil.
    It also has an intelligent and patented sensor, able to keep the liquid level under control, practically when the Pod is empty, to avoid dry shots, the sensor detects the temperature of the coil in difficulty, immediately zeroing the power.
    Truly a combination of useful and innovative options, cheers !!

    First impressions, Artery Cold Steel AIO RBA Version:
    The name "Cold Steel" reminds me of Ehpro! ... But why is this new Mod branded Artery?
    Investigating the Ehpro website I discovered that thanks to a commercial agreement, this line will have the Artery brand.
    Ehpro will however continue to produce the Cold Steel 100 and 200.

    The first thing I noticed when I opened the package is that in this kit there are no XP coils, the supplied cartridge uses a beautiful postless regenerable Deck (very good).
    The XP model cartridge with relative XP coils can be purchased separately and used on the Mod.
    Not even the charging cable is present (no problem), I have always argued that external batteries must be charged with an external charger, however, those who want to recharge the mod directly can use a Type C cable by connecting it to the PC.

    For this test, I got the Gun Metal version, at first glance this new Mod seems very compact and despite the weight reaches almost 200 Gr the handling is excellent.

    In the image below the Artery Cold Steel AIO RBA Version compared to the best competitors on the market.

    How Artery Cold Steel AIO RBA Version is made:
    The frame is built in solid zinc alloy the polygonal form factor provides an angle that narrows both the front and the rear of the mod, the side panels have a texture deeply engraved in the metal that gives a good grip, towards the front area there is a slightly recessed smooth part where the fingers love to slide, at the top on both sides there are three air-flow loops (two are fake).
    Cold Steel Aio and Designed By Artery are the writings that appear at the bottom on one side.

    The front side features a dark plastic insert, inside we find a good quality Fire key with a shape similar to a light switch, a 0.96 "color OLED display and the rocker containing the Up selection keys. and Down.

    The rear area is smooth and bare, at the top you can see the attachment area of the cartridge, but also of the 510 adapter.

    Artery Cold Steel AIO RBA Version 9.jpg


    The compartment / pod is particular, there are no magnets, the hooking system for the cartridge or for the 510 adapter is made up of the internal conformation of the edges that effectively block both accessories.

    On the bottom of the compartment there are the two pins isolated from a peek base, the detail indicated by the arrow instead indicates the innovative liquid control sensor, this sensor detects the coil temperature and stops dispensing before the " dry puff ".

    On the bottom of the Mod there is the Type-C charging socket and the battery compartment access cap. There are two vent holes on the cap.

    The cap is unscrewed counterclockwise, the thread has a good smoothness and is also visually pleasing as it is gold in color.
    On the inside of the cap there is the indication of the negative pole, the positive pole is spring loaded and is located on the bottom inside the mod.
    The battery compartment is internally insulated.
    Through the adapter (included) the Artery Cold Steel can accommodate 18650 cells, without adapter it can accommodate 20700 and 21700 cells.

    Artery Cold Steel AIO Adapter 510:

    Artery Cold Steel AIO RBA Version 12.jpg


    Through this adapter you can quickly transform the Artery Cold Steel AIO into a mod with 510 attachment suitable for any atomizer up to 25mm in diameter without protrusions.

    The coupling system (the same in the pod) uses two joints with the internal edges of the mod, while the quick release takes place by pressing the button shown in the figure.

    The hole visible in the photo houses the liquid control sensor (inactive in this case), on the side you can see the terminal part of the two contact pins, the main one is spring loaded, both are peek insulated.

    Some examples of the Artery Cold Steel AIO in 510 version with different atomizers, RTA DL, RDA and MTL.

    Artery Cold Steel AIO RBA and XP Cartridges:
    The 4ml XP cartridge can be purchased separately together with its XP coils, the 3ml RBA cartridge is instead included in the kit, both are built in transparent PCTG. The sliding upper refill system offers a perfect closure and is very comfortable to operate, however it requires the use of dispencer with a rather long tip.

    Artery Cold Steel AIO RBA Version 15.jpg


    Cartridge with integrated RBA System:
    The Drip-Tip is of type 510, equipped with two sealing o'ring and is replaceable.
    The integrated bell has a wide band truncated cone top profile, its internal diameter is 18mm, the depth is equivalent to 16mm, indicated by the arrows the closing position of the RBA.

    The structure of the postless Deck uses an air-flow system with a honeycomb design, some holes are countersunk in order to project the air towards a large section of the coil.

    Included in the package is a 510 adapter for the RBA, very useful for testing the resistance before inserting it into the cartridge.

    RBA Build:
    For the regeneration i have installed the RBA with the 510 adapter and I used the Coil Ni80 Triple Fused Clapton that was included in the package, the final resistance was found to be 0.37Ω

    The four turrets make use of Allen screws for tightening the coil, the coil can also be installed indifferently with the legs down or up, the cutting of the legs is facilitated by a decent space for this operation.

    The cut of the cotton and its positioning is dictated by the shape of the buttonholes on the deck.

    Respecting the joints on the Pod I installed the RBA with the new coil, the lower part of the RBA provides an adjustable AFC ring with two opposing 8x2mm slots.

    Artery Cold Steel AIO Chipset:
    The chip communicates with a 0.96 "color oled screen, the screen shows by default; the power, the lock / unlock in the form of a padlock, the coil ohm, the total number of puffs, the length of the last puff and the graphic level of battery charge.
    Of course, there are countless other information depending on the mode of use of the Mod, for example the anti-dry-burn system when it comes into operation is represented by an icon on the screen that becomes dark.

    Artery Cold Steel AIO RBA Version Conclusions:

    I liked this two-in-one Mod very much, beautiful, gritty without excess and well sized, in particular I was struck by the completeness of this circuit, by the myriad of functions and adjustments to the ability to manage battery life well, OLED screen it is very bright and easy to read.

    The 510 module present in the package allows you to get a compact Mod with your favorite atomizer, the chipset with the Smart function activated is always able to recommend the best setting.

    The rebuildable base uses a refined postless deck with dimensions never before seen on a pod! And it is very easy to regenerate, it has an excellent yield in Flavor and an effective regulation of the AFC. It is unlikely that it will generate condensation, the cartridge contains only 3ml of liquid but it must be considered that you can vape in peace until the last drop of liquid because the "Dry-Burn" protection works perfectly, the refill from the top with opening sliding is comfortable and safe, however you must use dispenser with spout of adequate size.

    I can certainly recommend the purchase of this interesting device, hello and thank you for your patience.

    Thanks Sourcemore for sending me this product for review.
