Tanks and clearomizers vs alternatives in Liverpool (v14)
Tanks and clearomizers advice for Liverpool, covering cost factors, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
There is no single best tanks and clearomizers for everyone in Liverpool, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling something. 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.
Search results for tanks and clearomizers in Liverpool are crowded, which is why this page focuses on what actually changes the experience. What surprised us most was how little the 0.2 Ω dual mesh coil changes the draw character compared with the 80:20 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber.
Two things to check before ordering: the USB-C socket on the base and whether the 0.2 Ω dual mesh coil is the newer generation. Battery behaviour is where the RELX Pro earns its keep: the 3000 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 120 and recharges over USB-C. We would pair the RELX Pro with a 80:20 PG/VG liquid, which is where the balance between throat hit and cloud density sits most comfortably.
Charging over USB-C takes about 55 from empty, and the pass-through means the device can be used while plugged in on the smaller batteries. Comparing this against a 80:20 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume. Battery behaviour is where the RELX Pro earns its keep: the 3000 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 120 and recharges over USB-C.
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. The 3.5 ml capacity is a genuinely useful middle ground: enough liquid for a long session without turning the device into a pocket problem. Expect roughly 1203 full puffs from a charge at 3 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing.
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 0.2 Ω dual mesh mark before the profile flattens and a swap makes sense. In Liverpool, availability of the 0.2 Ω dual mesh coil is the practical bottleneck, not the device itself.
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. The narrow bore mouthpiece is comfortable over long sessions and resists the condensation that gathers on narrower tips.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Cherry Lime Soda: sweet, tart, described as red cherry with a lime lift. On a 80:20 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 0.2 Ω dual 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 0.2 Ω dual mesh and the USB-C 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.
If any of the above addresses what you were trying to solve, the rest of the pages in this section cover it in more detail.
