In our testing, the strongest Artery picks in this group were its high-puff disposables. The CT3 kept things simple with a clear screen and two easy modes, while the CL6 Sweet-Ice Edition gave us more room to tune the puff through its ice, sweetness, and airflow controls. The choice mostly comes down to simplicity versus fine-tuning.

How We Tested It
We ran both devices through the same everyday pattern: short commute pulls, desk-break use, and longer evening sessions. In our actual testing, we logged Flavor, Throat Hit, Vapor Production, Airflow/Draw, Battery Life, Leak Resistance, Build Quality, Ease of Use, and Portability. We also tracked charge behavior, watched for leaks and condensation, and compared how each device held up when used lightly versus pushed harder.
Artery Vape: Our Testing Experience
Artery Vapor CT3 45K Disposable
Our Testing Experience
We treated the CT3 like a true daily carry disposable: quick pulls before driving, a few steady hits during breaks, and longer sessions at night. The clear display made it easy to keep an eye on battery and liquid, and the mode switch never felt gimmicky. In our testing, the difference between Normal and Turbo was easy to notice: Normal stayed smoother and more relaxed, while Turbo made the puff warmer, denser, and a little louder.
Our testing also showed that the CT3 stayed unusually tidy for a large disposable. The draw stayed consistent across short and longer pulls, and the device never needed much thought beyond checking the display and topping it up. Charging from low to full usually landed around the 50-to-60-minute mark on a basic USB-C setup, and Turbo clearly shortened the usable time between charges.
What we liked
-
Flavor stayed clean and steady across short and longer sessions
-
The display removed most of the usual disposable guesswork
-
The Normal/Turbo switch made a real difference instead of feeling cosmetic
Who it is best for
-
Adults who want a low-maintenance daily device
-
Users who like having a slightly warmer, denser puff on demand
-
People who value consistency more than deep customization
Where it falls short
-
There is only limited adjustment beyond the two modes
-
It takes up more pocket space than a slim disposable
-
Turbo drains faster and runs warmer when you lean on it

| Consistent flavor delivery | Limited adjustment range |

Artery CL6 Sweet-Ice Edition
Our Testing Experience
The CL6 was the more adjustable pick in our testing. We kept coming back to it when we wanted to change the puff instead of just taking it as-is. The sweet and ice controls were not subtle, and the airflow slider gave us enough range to keep the draw from feeling too sharp or too loose. That made the CL6 more flexible than the CT3, but it also meant there was more room to overdo it.
In longer sessions, the CL6 stayed impressively stable for a disposable. The vapor stayed strong, and the extra control let us clean up flavors that felt too cold or too candy-heavy at the start. Charging from low to full usually landed around 60 to 75 minutes in our logs. The trade-off was simple: this device is more fun when you actually use the controls, but it is less effortless than the CT3.
What we liked
-
The sweet and ice controls changed the vape in a noticeable way
-
Vapor stayed strong without turning harsh in normal use

Who it is best for
-
Adults who want a feature-rich disposable without moving to a refillable
-
Users who like cooling control and want to trim sweetness when needed
-

Where it falls short
-
The body is larger than many simpler disposables
-
The extra controls can feel busy if you just want a quick puff
-
It is easier to land on a setting mix that feels overdone

In our testing, the CT3 was the more even daily performer because it asked less from the user. The CL6 matched it on overall score, but it got there in a different way: more adjustability, stronger tuning potential, and a bigger chance of landing on a setup you may need to dial back.
How to Choose the Artery Vape?
Pick the CT3 if you are still figuring out how to choose a vape and want the easier device to live with day to day. It is the better fit for people who want a simple draw-activated disposable with a useful screen and a quick mode choice. Pick the CL6 Sweet-Ice Edition if you enjoy adjusting the puff and know you will actually use the extra controls. In our actual tests, the CT3 felt calmer and more direct, while the CL6 rewarded people who wanted to shape cooling, sweetness, and airflow instead of leaving everything fixed.

Pro Tips for Artery Vape
-
Use higher-output settings in shorter bursts if you want to make a disposable last longer; longer chains build more heat and shorten battery life.
-
Check the display before long outings instead of guessing when the device is almost empty.
-
On the CL6, change one control at a time so you can tell what actually improved the puff.
-
If the draw starts feeling too wet, check common leak issues before assuming the device is failing.
-
Charge before the battery gets fully drained, and recharge safely if you know you will be out for a while.
-
If flavor suddenly drops or starts tasting burnt, stop and troubleshoot instead of pulling harder or pushing a setting higher.
-
If the CL6 starts feeling too cold or too sweet, back one setting off first before changing airflow.
FAQs
Does the CT3 really feel different in Normal vs Turbo?
Yes. In our testing, Normal felt smoother and steadier, while Turbo gave a warmer, denser puff and used battery faster.
Are the CL6 sweet and ice controls actually useful?
They are. Small adjustments were enough to change both the cooling and the overall balance of the puff, especially on flavors that started too icy or too candy-heavy.
Which one is easier for everyday use?
The CT3 is easier to live with day to day, especially for newer users. It has less to manage, and that simplicity held up well in our actual testing.
Which one makes more sense if I want to adjust the puff?
The CL6 is the better fit. It gives you more control over sweetness, cooling, and draw style, so it suits users who like to tune the experience instead of leaving it fixed.
