Tanks and clearomizers reviews: tested in Liverpool (v3)
Tanks and clearomizers advice for Liverpool, covering maintenance, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
The Liverpool market for tanks and clearomizers has grown steadily, and the choice on offer now is genuinely broad. Charging over Micro-USB takes about 55 from empty, and the pass-through means the device can be used while plugged in on the smaller batteries.
Budget matters in Liverpool, but with tanks and clearomizers the cheapest option is rarely the one that lasts. The mesh tip mouthpiece is comfortable over long sessions and resists the condensation that gathers on narrower tips.
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 55 from empty, and the pass-through means the device can be used while plugged in on the smaller batteries.
For budget shoppers, 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 65:35 PG/VG blend, so if you prefer a smoother draw, mix accordingly.
We would pair the RELX Pro with a 65:35 PG/VG liquid, which is where the balance between throat hit and cloud density sits most comfortably. Replacement coils are widely available, and the 1.0 Ω mesh coil is the sensible default to keep in stock. Pricing in Liverpool shifts with import duty, so the figures here reflect current GBP rates rather than a fixed list price.
Delivery across Liverpool is typically two to four working days with tracked dispatch, and returns are straightforward within the standard window. 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 1.0 Ω mesh coil changes the draw character compared with the 65:35 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Grape Frost Breeze: sweet, fruity, described as dark grape with a cool, brisk finish. On a 65:35 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 1.0 Ω 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 1.0 Ω mesh 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.
