Nicotine salt liquids for value hunters: what works (RELX Pro)
Nicotine salt liquids advice for Liverpool, covering mixing ratios, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
We spent weeks putting nicotine salt liquids 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.
We spent weeks putting nicotine salt liquids options through their paces so the recommendations here reflect real use. The included spare coils are useful for the first fortnight, after which you will be ordering your own.
Flavour tracking stays consistent from the first day to roughly the 1.2 Ω mesh mark before the profile flattens and a swap makes sense. In Liverpool, availability of the 1.2 Ω mesh coil is the practical bottleneck, not the device itself. The silicone tip mouthpiece is comfortable over long sessions and resists the condensation that gathers on narrower tips.
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. The silicone tip mouthpiece is comfortable over long sessions and resists the condensation that gathers on narrower tips.
Comparing this against a 80:20 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume. The 3.5 ml capacity is a genuinely useful middle ground: enough liquid for a long session without turning the device into a pocket problem. Expect roughly 533 full puffs from a charge at 6 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing.
The Ocean Teal finish hides fingerprints far better than the gloss options, which matters more than it sounds on a device handled daily. Worth noting that the 510 bottom pin takes a small amount of care to keep clean, which we cover in the maintenance section below. For value hunters, the learning curve is shorter than the specification list suggests, and daily use is straightforward from the first charge.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Vanilla Custard: creamy, rich, described as warm vanilla bean with a smooth cream finish. On a 80:20 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 1.2 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 1.2 Ω mesh and the USB-C 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.
If any of the above addresses what you were trying to solve, the rest of the pages in this section cover it in more detail.
