Cloud Chasers Tanks and clearomizers shortlist (Suorin Air Plus)
Tanks and clearomizers advice for Liverpool, covering which to pick, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
Most Liverpool buyers start with a well-known brand name and then discover that fit and coil availability matter far more. The throat hit is noticeably firmer than a 55:45 PG/VG blend, so if you prefer a smoother draw, mix accordingly.
We spent weeks putting tanks and clearomizers options through their paces so the recommendations here reflect real use. Replacement coils are widely available, and the 1.5 Ω regular coil is the sensible default to keep in stock.
Two things to check before ordering: the USB-C socket on the base and whether the 1.5 Ω regular coil is the newer generation. Battery behaviour is where the Kanger K2 earns its keep: the 800 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 80 and recharges over USB-C. We would pair the Kanger K2 with a 55:45 PG/VG liquid, which is where the balance between throat hit and cloud density sits most comfortably.
The throat hit is noticeably firmer than a 55:45 PG/VG blend, so if you prefer a smoother draw, mix accordingly. Pricing in Liverpool shifts with import duty, so the figures here reflect current GBP rates rather than a fixed list price. Airflow control on the Kanger K2 is adjustable enough to move from a warm, restrained draw to something far more open without removing the tank.
The build quality on Kanger K2 is a step above most of what sits in the same price bracket, and the finish resists the chipping that usually shows after a few months of pocket carry. Build quality is the quiet differentiator here, with tight seams and a connector that has not loosened after repeated removal. Charging over USB-C takes about 26 from empty, and the pass-through means the device can be used while plugged in on the smaller batteries.
Expect roughly 652 full puffs from a charge at 20 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing. Replacement coils are widely available, and the 1.5 Ω regular coil is the sensible default to keep in stock. The included spare coils are useful for the first fortnight, after which you will be ordering your own.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Grape Frost Breeze: sweet, fruity, described as dark grape with a cool, brisk finish. On a 55:45 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 1.5 Ω regular mark before the coil begins to mute it.
Practical considerations in Liverpool
Availability in Liverpool is the factor that decides most outcomes here. Confirm the 1.5 Ω regular and the USB-C are both in stock before committing, and check that the 510 bottom pin matches your existing device if you already own hardware. Duty and GBP rates move, so treat prices as current rather than fixed.
Take the time to get it right the first time; the difference shows up over months of use rather than days.
