Arcana SBS by Arcana Mods & PIPELINE

The Arcana SBS is a compact, high-end side-by-side 18650 mod developed through the collaboration between Arcana Mods and PIPELINE.

Following on from the popular PIPELINE Box and Arcana Box, the SBS brings the same focus on build quality, reliability and everyday usability into a slimmer side-by-side form factor. Constructed from premium materials and powered by the precise ARC1 chipset, the Arcana SBS delivers consistent performance in a refined, low-profile design that sits comfortably in the hand and pocket.

Build quality & design

The Arcana SBS is built to a very high standard, combining anodised aluminium with 304 stainless steel components. The body is made from anodised aluminium for resistance to scratches and hand sweat, while the front, top and bottom plates, the buttons and the battery sleeve are all manufactured from 304 stainless steel. A spring-loaded copper-beryllium positive contact ensures excellent conductivity and a reliable connection with your atomiser. The result is a slim side-by-side mod that feels solid and well balanced for everyday use.

For those choosing the DLC version, the Diamond-Like Carbon coating provides an additional layer of durability and scratch resistance.

ARC1 Chipset - Reliable & Precise

At the heart of the device is the ARC1 chipset, offering stable and accurate power delivery alongside efficient battery management.

• Power range from 1 to 60 watts
• Temperature control support for Ni200, SS316 and Titanium
• Output voltage up to 8V
• Resistance range from 0.1 to 3.0 ohms

The chipset is designed to be straightforward to use while still offering the features most users need, making it a good balance between performance and simplicity. A built-in safety feature requires a confirmation press of the fire button after inserting a battery or restarting the device, helping to prevent accidental firing.

Everyday practicality

The OLED display provides clear information, and the device is easy to navigate without complex menus. A supplied screen protector helps protect both the display and the stainless steel base plate from scratches and also improves the fit when using a sleeve.

Two rubber O-rings are also supplied as an unscrewing aid for atomisers that have become firmly seated. For 23mm atomisers a single ring is generally enough; for 22mm atomisers we recommend stacking both rings together for additional grip. The rubber surface dramatically improves purchase without scratching the atomiser body.

Battery flexibility & charging

The Arcana SBS is designed for versatility, with support for different battery sizes via interchangeable sleeves.

• Supplied with an 18650 battery sleeve as standard
• Optional accessories (available separately) allow use of 18500 batteries
• On board USB-C charging (up to 1.2A) or external charging (using an external charger is recommended for optimal battery longevity).

Which Arcana SBS is right for me?

If you primarily vape in Variable Wattage (VW) mode, the Arcana SBS is the right choice. If you prefer vaping in Temperature Control (TC) mode, use different wire types, and want a colour display along with extensive on-device configuration options, we recommend the Arcana SBS DNA60C.

Notes
Atomisers and additional battery sleeves are not included. Only use high-quality, unprotected batteries suitable for vaping devices. Clean the base plate before applying the screen protector for best results.
