Tanks and clearomizers for pod fans: what works (Blue Raspberry Frost)
Tanks and clearomizers advice for Liverpool, covering maintenance, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
We spent weeks putting tanks and clearomizers options through their paces so the recommendations here reflect real use. Battery behaviour is where the RELX Pro earns its keep: the 1200 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 200 and recharges over Micro-USB.
We spent weeks putting tanks and clearomizers options through their paces so the recommendations here reflect real use. Pricing in Liverpool shifts with import duty, so the figures here reflect current GBP rates rather than a fixed list price.
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 tracking stays consistent from the first day to roughly the 2.0 Ω regular mark before the profile flattens and a swap makes sense.
The build quality on RELX 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 Micro-USB takes about 35 from empty, and the pass-through means the device can be used while plugged in on the smaller batteries.
In Liverpool, availability of the 2.0 Ω regular coil is the practical bottleneck, not the device itself. The narrow bore mouthpiece is comfortable over long sessions and resists the condensation that gathers on narrower tips. Comparing this against a 55:45 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume.
Airflow control on the RELX Pro 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 200, 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.
What surprised us most was how little the 2.0 Ω regular coil changes the draw character compared with the 55:45 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber. The 2.5 ml capacity is a genuinely useful middle ground: enough liquid for a long session without turning the device into a pocket problem. Expect roughly 801 full puffs from a charge at 3 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Cola Zero: sweet, fizzy, described as cola sweetness with a light fizz. On a 55:45 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 2.0 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 2.0 Ω regular and the Micro-USB 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.
Our advice is to order one, use it for a fortnight, and only then decide whether to stock up.
