Tanks and clearomizers comparison: disposable edition
Tanks and clearomizers advice for Liverpool, covering comparison, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
Local availability in Liverpool shapes the practical answer more than the marketing does. Two things to check before ordering: the Type-C fast charge socket on the base and whether the 0.8 Ω regular coil is the newer generation.
There is no single best tanks and clearomizers for everyone in Liverpool, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling something. If you take one thing from this page, make it the coil compatibility check. A device that needs a coil you cannot source locally becomes an expensive ornament within a month.
Charging over Type-C fast charge takes about 27 from empty, and the pass-through means the device can be used while plugged in on the smaller batteries. Two things to check before ordering: the Type-C fast charge socket on the base and whether the 0.8 Ω regular coil is the newer generation. Battery behaviour is where the Robust Pro earns its keep: the 5000 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 90 and recharges over Type-C fast charge.
The 1.6 ml capacity is a genuinely useful middle ground: enough liquid for a long session without turning the device into a pocket problem. We would pair the Robust Pro with a 20:80 PG/VG liquid, which is where the balance between throat hit and cloud density sits most comfortably. Replacement coils are widely available, and the 0.8 Ω regular coil is the sensible default to keep in stock.
Comparing this against a 20:80 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume. Vapour production is more than adequate at 90, and pushing beyond that adds heat rather than anything worth carrying. Expect roughly 1788 full puffs from a charge at 10 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing.
The build quality on Robust Pro 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 Type-C fast charge takes about 27 from empty, and the pass-through means the device can be used while plugged in on the smaller batteries.
The throat hit is noticeably firmer than a 20:80 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 Robust Pro is adjustable enough to move from a warm, restrained draw to something far more open without removing the tank.
The Matte Sand finish hides fingerprints far better than the gloss options, which matters more than it sounds on a device handled daily. Materials are unremarkable on paper and feel reassuringly solid in the hand, with no flex in the body at all. The instruction booklet is thin, but the diagrams are clear enough that most people set the device up without further help.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Vanilla Custard: creamy, rich, described as warm vanilla bean with a smooth cream finish. On a 20:80 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 0.8 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 0.8 Ω regular and the Type-C fast charge are both in stock before committing, and check that the 510 thread matches your existing device if you already own hardware. Duty and GBP rates move, so treat prices as current rather than fixed.
