Tanks and clearomizers long-term test: noob edition (50 W)
Tanks and clearomizers advice for Liverpool, covering long-term test, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
Local availability in Liverpool shapes the practical answer more than the marketing does. Delivery across Liverpool is typically two to four working days with tracked dispatch, and returns are straightforward within the standard window.
The gap between a mid-range and a premium tanks and clearomizers narrows once you know which components you actually use. The included spare coils are useful for the first fortnight, after which you will be ordering your own.
Replacement coils are widely available, and the 0.8 Ω regular coil is the sensible default to keep in stock. 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 30:70 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber.
The 3.0 ml capacity is a genuinely useful middle ground: enough liquid for a long session without turning the device into a pocket problem. Expect roughly 1332 full puffs from a charge at 10 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing. Delivery across Liverpool is typically two to four working days with tracked dispatch, and returns are straightforward within the standard window.
Pricing in Liverpool shifts with import duty, so the figures here reflect current GBP rates rather than a fixed list price. Airflow control on the Lost Vape Thru 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 70, 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. 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 0.8 Ω regular mark before the profile flattens and a swap makes sense.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Raspberry Lemonade: sweet, tart, described as summer lemonade with a raspberry accent. On a 30:70 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-X matches your existing device if you already own hardware. Duty and GBP rates move, so treat prices as current rather than fixed.
Take the time to get it right the first time; the difference shows up over months of use rather than days.
