Nicotine liquids upgrades and spare parts (2000 mAh) (v2)
Nicotine liquids advice for Liverpool, covering first device, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
Budget matters in Liverpool, but with nicotine liquids the cheapest option is rarely the one that lasts. Materials are unremarkable on paper and feel reassuringly solid in the hand, with no flex in the body at all.
Anyone who has compared nicotine liquids options in Liverpool quickly learns that specification lists only tell part of the story. The included spare coils are useful for the first fortnight, after which you will be ordering your own.
Comparing this against a 55:45 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume. The 2.5 ml capacity is a genuinely useful middle ground: enough liquid for a long session without turning the device into a pocket problem. Expect roughly 769 full puffs from a charge at 3 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing.
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 55:45 PG/VG blend, so if you prefer a smoother draw, mix accordingly. Pricing in Liverpool shifts with import duty, so the figures here reflect current GBP rates rather than a fixed list price.
What surprised us most was how little the 1.2 Ω mesh coil changes the draw character compared with the 55:45 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber. The Crimson Red finish hides fingerprints far better than the gloss options, which matters more than it sounds on a device handled daily. Worth noting that the Q-Plus takes a small amount of care to keep clean, which we cover in the maintenance section below.
Charging over Type-C fast charge takes about 33 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 1.2 Ω mesh coil is the newer generation. Battery behaviour is where the Innokin X earns its keep: the 5000 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 40 and recharges over Type-C fast charge.
Vapour production is more than adequate at 40, 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. 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 Pineapple Ice Cream: creamy, sweet, described as dairy-style pineapple dessert. On a 55:45 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 Type-C fast charge are both in stock before committing, and check that the Q-Plus 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.
