How we test Tanks and clearomizers in Liverpool (v3)

Tanks and clearomizers advice for Liverpool, covering warranty, 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. The instruction booklet is thin, but the diagrams are clear enough that most people set the device up without further help.

Budget matters in Liverpool, but with tanks and clearomizers the cheapest option is rarely the one that lasts. Comparing this against a 20:80 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume.

We would pair the Freemax Maxus with a 20:80 PG/VG liquid, which is where the balance between throat hit and cloud density sits most comfortably. Replacement coils are widely available, and the 2.0 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.

Vapour production is more than adequate at 60, 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.

Comparing this against a 20:80 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume. The 5.0 ml capacity is a genuinely useful middle ground: enough liquid for a long session without turning the device into a pocket problem. Expect roughly 1501 full puffs from a charge at 12 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing.

Worth noting that the 510 thread takes a small amount of care to keep clean, which we cover in the maintenance section below. For nic salt users, 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.

Battery behaviour is where the Freemax Maxus earns its keep: the 2500 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 60 and recharges over Micro-USB. Two things to check before ordering: the Micro-USB socket on the base and whether the 2.0 Ω regular coil is the newer generation. The throat hit is noticeably firmer than a 20:80 PG/VG blend, so if you prefer a smoother draw, mix accordingly.

Airflow control on the Freemax Maxus is adjustable enough to move from a warm, restrained draw to something far more open without removing the tank. Delivery across Liverpool is typically two to four working days with tracked dispatch, and returns are straightforward within the standard window. The build quality on Freemax Maxus 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.

Specifications

Here is what the engineering actually delivers, without the marketing language.

Flavour and performance notes

A representative profile is Cherry Lime Soda: sweet, tart, described as red cherry with a lime lift. On a 20:80 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 thread matches your existing device if you already own hardware. Duty and GBP rates move, so treat prices as current rather than fixed.
