Portable Users Tanks and clearomizers shortlist (800 mAh)

Tanks and clearomizers advice for Liverpool, covering safety checks, 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. For portable users, the learning curve is shorter than the specification list suggests, and daily use is straightforward from the first charge.

We spent weeks putting tanks and clearomizers options through their paces so the recommendations here reflect real use. What surprised us most was how little the 1.5 Ω regular coil changes the draw character compared with the 70:30 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber.

For portable 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. The throat hit is noticeably firmer than a 70:30 PG/VG blend, so if you prefer a smoother draw, mix accordingly.

Replacement coils are widely available, and the 1.5 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 1.5 Ω regular coil changes the draw character compared with the 70:30 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber.

We would pair the Lost Vape Thru with a 70:30 PG/VG liquid, which is where the balance between throat hit and cloud density sits most comfortably. 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.

Expect roughly 1349 full puffs from a charge at 0 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. The included spare coils are useful for the first fortnight, after which you will be ordering your own.

Charging over Type-C fast charge takes about 41 from empty, and the pass-through means the device can be used while plugged in on the smaller batteries. Two things to check before ordering: the Type-C fast charge socket on the base and whether the 1.5 Ω regular coil is the newer generation. Battery behaviour is where the Lost Vape Thru earns its keep: the 1000 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 120 and recharges over Type-C fast charge.

The 6.5 ml capacity is a genuinely useful middle ground: enough liquid for a long session without turning the device into a pocket problem. Materials are unremarkable on paper and feel reassuringly solid in the hand, with no flex in the body at all. Delivery across Liverpool is typically two to four working days with tracked dispatch, and returns are straightforward within the standard window.

Flavour and performance notes

A representative profile is Mango Tango Ice: sweet, tropical, described as ripe mango warmed by a light menthol coolness. On a 70:30 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 1.5 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 1.5 Ω regular and the Type-C fast charge 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.
