How we test Tanks and clearomizers in Liverpool (Vanilla Custard) (v2)

Tanks and clearomizers advice for Liverpool, covering mouthfeel, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.

The gap between a mid-range and a premium tanks and clearomizers narrows once you know which components you actually use. What surprised us most was how little the 0.8 Ω regular coil changes the draw character compared with the 80:20 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber.

Local availability in Liverpool shapes the practical answer more than the marketing does. We would pair the Innokin X with a 80:20 PG/VG liquid, which is where the balance between throat hit and cloud density sits most comfortably.

The included spare coils are useful for the first fortnight, after which you will be ordering your own. What surprised us most was how little the 0.8 Ω regular coil changes the draw character compared with the 80:20 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber. The Rose Quartz finish hides fingerprints far better than the gloss options, which matters more than it sounds on a device handled daily.

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. The throat hit is noticeably firmer than a 80:20 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.

Replacement coils are widely available, and the 0.8 Ω regular coil is the sensible default to keep in stock. The build quality on Innokin X 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. What surprised us most was how little the 0.8 Ω regular coil changes the draw character compared with the 80:20 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber.

Flavour tracking stays consistent from the first day to roughly the 0.8 Ω regular mark before the profile flattens and a swap makes sense. Airflow control on the Innokin X 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.

For daily vapers, the learning curve is shorter than the specification list suggests, and daily use is straightforward from the first charge. We would pair the Innokin X with a 80:20 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 80:20 PG/VG blend, so if you prefer a smoother draw, mix accordingly.

Specifications

Here is what the engineering actually delivers, without the marketing language.

Flavour and performance notes

A representative profile is Classic Menthol: cool, sharp, described as clean peppermint with consistent coolness. On a 80:20 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 Micro-USB 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.
