Liverpool Tanks and clearomizers starter bundle (v12)
Tanks and clearomizers advice for Liverpool, covering long-term test, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
Anyone who has compared tanks and clearomizers options in Liverpool quickly learns that specification lists only tell part of the story. The 2.0 ml capacity is a genuinely useful middle ground: enough liquid for a long session without turning the device into a pocket problem.
The gap between a mid-range and a premium tanks and clearomizers narrows once you know which components you actually use. Comparing this against a 80:20 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume.
Comparing this against a 80:20 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume. The 2.0 ml capacity is a genuinely useful middle ground: enough liquid for a long session without turning the device into a pocket problem. Expect roughly 584 full puffs from a charge at 20 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing.
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 0.15 Ω dual mesh coil changes the draw character compared with the 80:20 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber. The Emerald finish hides fingerprints far better than the gloss options, which matters more than it sounds on a device handled daily.
Two things to check before ordering: the Micro-USB socket on the base and whether the 0.15 Ω dual mesh coil is the newer generation. Battery behaviour is where the Hcigar Akso earns its keep: the 1200 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 60 and recharges over Micro-USB. We would pair the Hcigar Akso with a 80:20 PG/VG liquid, which is where the balance between throat hit and cloud density sits most comfortably.
For tank lovers, the learning curve is shorter than the specification list suggests, and daily use is straightforward from the first charge. 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.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Cola Zero: sweet, fizzy, described as cola sweetness with a light fizz. On a 80:20 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 0.15 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 0.15 Ω dual mesh 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.
