Nicotine liquids for budget shoppers: what works (1500 mAh)

Nicotine liquids advice for Scotland, covering test report, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.

The Scotland market for nicotine liquids has grown steadily, and the choice on offer now is genuinely broad. Build quality is the quiet differentiator here, with tight seams and a connector that has not loosened after repeated removal.

The Scotland market for nicotine liquids has grown steadily, and the choice on offer now is genuinely broad. Replacement coils are widely available, and the 0.8 Ω mesh coil is the sensible default to keep in stock.

Vapour production is more than adequate at 100, 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.

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 0.8 Ω mesh 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.

Worth noting that the 510 thread takes a small amount of care to keep clean, which we cover in the maintenance section below. For budget shoppers, the learning curve is shorter than the specification list suggests, and daily use is straightforward from the first charge. Flavour tracking stays consistent from the first day to roughly the 0.8 Ω mesh mark before the profile flattens and a swap makes sense.

Battery behaviour is where the RELX Pro earns its keep: the 2000 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 100 and recharges over USB-C. 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.

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 1102 full puffs from a charge at 12 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing. Replacement coils are widely available, and the 0.8 Ω mesh coil is the sensible default to keep in stock.

In Scotland, availability of the 0.8 Ω mesh coil is the practical bottleneck, not the device itself. The standard bore mouthpiece is comfortable over long sessions and resists the condensation that gathers on narrower tips. Comparing this against a 65:35 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume.

Specifications

Every unit in the RELX Pro family shares the same core platform, so the differences come down to the numbers below.

Flavour and performance notes

A representative profile is Blue Raspberry Frost: sweet, tangy, described as sharp blue raspberry with a long cold finish. On a 65:35 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 0.8 Ω mesh mark before the coil begins to mute it.

Practical considerations in Scotland

Availability in Scotland is the factor that decides most outcomes here. Confirm the 0.8 Ω mesh and the USB-C 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.

Take the time to get it right the first time; the difference shows up over months of use rather than days.
