ARCANA SBS By Arcana Mods
Following the popular PIPELINE BOX, Arcana Mods and PIPELINE present their second battery carrier: the ARCANA SBS.
The body of the ARCANA SBS is made of anodized aluminum, making it particularly resistant to scratches and perspiration. The front, top, and bottom plates, as well as the buttons and battery sleeve, are made of high-quality 304 stainless steel. The ARCANA SBS features a spring-loaded copper-beryllium positive contact to ensure optimal conductivity.
Our goal remains unchanged: to develop high-end battery carriers made from premium materials and equipped with robust, reliable components.
The ARCANA SBS was designed to be compact, expandable, and compatible with various battery sizes.
Above all, it was intended to offer a worthwhile and affordable entry point into the otherwise quite expensive high-end market for a broad range of users.
The standard 18650 battery sleeve is also available in other sizes, allowing the use of 18500 batteries.
To meet these high standards, the teams at Arcana Mods and PIPELINE rigorously tested numerous electronic components and ultimately found the ARC1 chipset, a near-perfect solution for this ambitious project.
In addition to precise power output and temperature control, the electronics offer efficient battery management, a compact form factor, and high reliability in long-term testing.
While we are confident in the durability of the ARCANA SBS, we want to emphasize our commitment to sustainability and customer satisfaction by offering our in-house repair service in Munich to our customers even after the standard one-year manufacturer's warranty has expired.
The battery can be charged either with a charger or directly via the integrated USB-C port at a maximum current of 1.2A.
We recommend charging the batteries with an external charger. A subtle red LED next to the USB-C port illuminates when the battery is charging.
The ARCANA SBS comes with two rubber rings that serve as a removal aid should an atomizer become stuck.
For atomizers with a 23 mm diameter, one rubber ring is usually sufficient. For 22 mm atomizers, we recommend using both rings on top of each other to ensure adequate grip.
When sliding the rubber rings on, they will need to be stretched slightly to fit snugly around the atomizer. This is normal and improves the grip when unscrewing.
Slide the rubber ring over the atomizer as far down the atomizer base as possible. Then, gently stretch the ring (or rings), grip it with your thumb and forefinger, and carefully unscrew the atomizer.
The rubberized surface significantly improves adhesion without scratching the atomizer.
The ARCANA SBS also includes a screen protector that protects both the display and the stainless steel base plate.
Even when using a sleeve, we recommend using the screen protector, as it ensures a tighter fit and provides additional scratch protection.
Before applying the screen protector, the stainless steel base plate should be thoroughly cleaned with isopropyl alcohol to remove any grease and dust residue.
Then, carefully and precisely position the screen protector – the screw holes on the base plate are particularly useful for alignment.
When replacing the screen protector, please completely remove any adhesive residue with isopropyl alcohol before applying a new one.
Screen protectors are also available as an optional 5-pack.
Notes:
- The atomizers and sleeve shown in the images are not included.
- Fire button protection function: After changing the battery or restarting the device, the first press of the fire button – with the atomizer attached – serves as a brief activation confirmation. Only the second press of the button initiates the firing process.
This deliberately implemented safety feature helps prevent accidental firing immediately after switching on the device.
Which ARCANA SBS is right for me?
If you primarily vape in Variable Wattage (VW) mode, we recommend the ARCANA SBS. If you prefer vaping in Temperature Control (TC) mode, use different wire types, and want a color display and advanced settings, we recommend the ARCANA SBS DNA60C.
