Tanks and clearomizers mg per ml: advanced edition (800 mAh)
Tanks and clearomizers advice for Liverpool, covering mg per ml, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
Local availability in Liverpool shapes the practical answer more than the marketing does. Expect roughly 793 full puffs from a charge at 12 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing.
Local availability in Liverpool shapes the practical answer more than the marketing does. What surprised us most was how little the 0.8 Ω mesh coil changes the draw character compared with the 30:70 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber.
Airflow control on the IQOS III is adjustable enough to move from a warm, restrained draw to something far more open without removing the tank. Vapour production is more than adequate at 65, and pushing beyond that adds heat rather than anything worth carrying. Materials are unremarkable on paper and feel reassuringly solid in the hand, with no flex in the body at all.
Comparing this against a 30:70 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume. The 6.5 ml capacity is a genuinely useful middle ground: enough liquid for a long session without turning the device into a pocket problem.

The narrow bore mouthpiece is comfortable over long sessions and resists the condensation that gathers on narrower tips.

The 6.5 ml capacity is a genuinely useful middle ground: enough liquid for a long session without turning the device into a pocket problem.
Battery behaviour is where the IQOS III earns its keep: the 650 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 65 and recharges over Micro-USB. We would pair the IQOS III with a 30:70 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 mesh coil is the sensible default to keep in stock.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Watermelon Chill: sweet, juicy, described as watermelon with a clean cooling exhale. On a 30:70 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 0.8 Ω mesh 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 mesh and the Micro-USB are both in stock before committing, and check that the Q-Plus matches your existing device if you already own hardware. Duty and GBP rates move, so treat prices as current rather than fixed.
Our advice is to order one, use it for a fortnight, and only then decide whether to stock up.
