Product intro and specs
The Artery CL6 is an exciting new disposable vape that takes flavor adjustability to a sweet new level. Since mid-2024, new disposable vapes started popping up with adjustability for ice, flavor, and even nicotine adjustability, but with varying degrees of success. The CL6 50K, however, delivers on its promise.
With the CL6 50K, you can adjust both the ice and sweetness levels. Insert astonished emoji! Sweetness adjustability sounds as groundbreaking as the OXBAR ICE-NIC Control, which allows for ice and nicotine adjustability. Unfortunately, the nicotine adjustability wasn’t noticeable on that device. In contrast, you can actually taste the sweetness adjustments on the CL6, and it’s much more fun to experiment with.
Other features with Artery CL6 50K include a generous 26 mL capacity of 5% nic salt, two power modes with individual airflow options, and a hidden screen that displays HD graphics of all your customized settings and power statuses. Powered by an 1150 mAh rechargeable battery, the CL6 utilizes a V-PRO quad-mesh coil that delivers notable performance with flavor and vapor, letting you get the most out of the 12 flavors on the menu.
Let’s get into the details of this awesome device and see if everything is as cool as it seems.

Size, look, and feel
The Artery CL6 is an attractive device that’s hard to ignore. It’s a rectangular box-style disposable with angled and rounded edges, measuring 28 mm x 48.5 mm x 92.5 mm and weighing about 90 grams. It features a monochromatic color scheme of contrasting matte and glossy finishes, which are easy on the eyes (and hands.) The branding and flavor graphics are glossy and embossed over the matte section, creating another tactile contrast that’s satisfying to run your fingers over. I find myself daydreaming and rubbing it like it’s a good luck charm.
The glossy front panel (which hides a beautiful screen display) looks like metal, but it’s electroplated plastic that shines with the luster of a freshly waxed car. This makes the hidden screen reveal even more surprising. Of course, with a shiny finish like that, it’s going to be a fingerprint magnet. I often have to wipe it clean after use.
Speaking of the screen, the display is phenomenal! It’s colorful, bright, and clear. When illuminated, the high-resolution screen shows you where all your settings are and the status of your battery and liquid levels. It’s organized nicely, easy to read, and well thought out. Everything about the design and build quality of the CL6 is done well.
Getting started
Despite having so many features, setting up the Artery CL6 is as easy to understand as any disposable. If this isn’t your first rodeo, just jump to the next section. For those who might be new to disposables, or maybe this is your first vape (lucky duck!), read on to get started.
- On/off: On the bottom of the device there’s a slider switch; slide it one space, and your CL6 will be on and ready to vape. It has an automatic draw, so you can puff when ready.
- Select power level:
- Normal power (N): This is the setting you’ll be in when you turn the device on. This setting will give you the best battery life and plenty of warmth and power to provide a great experience. It has its own airflow with only one small hole. This setting provides a loose MTL (mouth-to-lung) vape, similar to a cigarette draw.
- Turbo power (T): Slide the switch to the third setting for boosted power. This setting uses up the battery faster, which means you’ll have to charge sooner than in normal power. Boosted power generates more heat and power to amplify the experience. Its airflow setting has three small holes and provides a restricted lung hit, close to a hookah hit.
When you turn on the CL6, the screen illuminates. At the top of the screen, you’ll see the sweetness and coolness icons (a swirl for sweetness and ice cubes for coolness). Those icons correspond to the top two buttons. To change the levels, simply click the buttons. The button must be clicked once to wake up, and then you can adjust. This helps to keep accidental adjustments at bay.
- Ice: 0-5
- Sweet: 0-4
With the ice and sweetness adjustments, level “0” is effectively in the off position. So when sweet and ice are both at zero, it’s the normal taste of the eliquid. Most of the liquids already have a sweet taste, with some of them even having a hint of cooling. In some cases, like with blueberry watermelon, there’s a more tart taste when the sweetness is at zero. Adding sweetness to that one changes the flavor profile a little bit, and it's great to have that option.
Depending on the flavor, I keep my sweetness levels at 1 or 2. For ice, my preference varies. In the case of the mints and a couple of fruit flavors, I tend to keep the ice at 0. Interestingly, I found that adding sweetness levels can taste more prominent with the ice set to at least 1. That said, in my experience, when the sweetness is at 4, the overall flavor starts to get a little washed out. But that's all subjective.
I recommend setting both the sweetness and ice levels to zero before beginning. Try the flavor and see how it tastes without anything added. This will allow you to taste the differences best as you increase those settings.
How does it hit?
The CL6 50K hits quickly, warmly, and flavorfully. It’s an absolute pleasure to take a draw from these disposables. With just a slight inhale, the V-PRO quad mesh coil activates and produces tasty vapor almost instantaneously. These coils work flawlessly! I have had no issues with leaking, juice dribbling, or spitting.
I prefer keeping my CL6 in normal mode. As far as I’m concerned, it’s great that way. Turbo does amplify the experience, but I appreciate the tighter draw of the normal power.
Artery CL6 50K best flavors
There are some good flavors for the Artery CL6 50K. What’s on the menu is mostly fruits, sweets, and a couple of mints. I only had one flavor I didn’t care for, and that was sour apple (the flavor I never like.) Besides that, I think Artery did a great job with the flavor development. They’re accurate and flavorful. These are my five favorites, along with how I like to adjust the sweet and cool.
Vimto: Apparently, Vimto is a drink that tastes like grapes, raspberries, blackcurrants, herbs, and spices. A remarkably tasty flavor that will have you coming back for more. I like it with sweetness at 2 and cooling at 1.
Strawberry banana: Baked banana flavor with the earthy sweetness of strawberries. A classic pairing done well. Try it with sweetness at 1 and cooling at 0.
Blueberry watermelon: Tart blueberry and sweet watermelon. This one is fun to play with because you can really tweak the flavor profile. Adding sweetness tones down the tart blueberry and really amplifies the flavor how I want! I like it with sweetness at 2 and cooling at 1. Good stuff!
Peach +: A bright, juicy peach flavor with the unmistakable aroma of peach. Try it with sweetness at 1 and cooling at 2.
Miami mint: A vibrant melody of the three mints, spearmint, peppermint, and wintergreen. I recommend sweetness at 1 and cooling at 0. Because it’s mint, it’s already going to have some coolness.
Note: Regardless of how I suggest adjusting the ice/cool settings, have fun and experiment for yourself.
How long does it last?
With a long-lasting 1150 mAh battery, I can get close to two days of usage before needing to charge. Even on those days with heavy usage, which is most days when I use the CL6, I still have a couple of bars left on the battery meter.
Charging the CL6 takes 80 minutes, and there is no pass-thru charging. Although the charge is long, I can tolerate it since you get more usage than you would with other devices with similar charge times.
The only minor issue I have with the CL6 is the liquid run time. First of all, I don’t doubt that there is 26 mL included in the CL6 50K. The thing is, the devices are easy to vape heavily. Also, I’m sure the V-PRO quad-mesh coil guzzles juice. Then there’s also turbo (T) mode that consumes liquid at a faster rate.
I was able to go through three full charge cycles. That’s better than most, but a little shy of what I was expecting, considering the stated 50k. Then again, I take really long inhales, and those puff ratings are likely estimated based on one-second puffs.

Verdict
The Artery CL6 50K is a high-performing, thoughtfully designed, beautiful disposable vape. It features one of the most exciting features I’ve seen, which is the ability to adjust the sweetness level of the flavor. Of course, there’s also adjustable ice and two power modes. But what’s unique here is the sweetness adjustability.
I’ve been vaping for over a decade. Never would I have imagined this would one day be possible. Apparently, there are three separate tanks inside the CL6; one with the main liquid, one with menthol, and one with sweetener. Three tanks holding 26 mL of e-liquid, plus a 1150 mAh battery—I don’t know how it all fits in there!
I love the performance, customization, flavor menu, and overall design of the Artery CL6 50k. I’m not sure you’re going to get 50k puffs, but I bet you’re going to enjoy trying to.
