How we test Flavour variety packs in Liverpool (60 W)
Flavour variety packs advice for Liverpool, covering airflow control, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
The gap between a mid-range and a premium flavour variety packs narrows once you know which components you actually use. Replacement coils are widely available, and the 1.0 Ω mesh coil is the sensible default to keep in stock.
Local availability in Liverpool shapes the practical answer more than the marketing does. Airflow control on the Kanger K2 is adjustable enough to move from a warm, restrained draw to something far more open without removing the tank.
Two things to check before ordering: the Micro-USB socket on the base and whether the 1.0 Ω mesh coil is the newer generation. Battery behaviour is where the Kanger K2 earns its keep: the 5000 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 150 and recharges over Micro-USB. We would pair the Kanger K2 with a 20:80 PG/VG liquid, which is where the balance between throat hit and cloud density sits most comfortably.
The Midnight Black 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 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.
The throat hit is noticeably firmer than a 20:80 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. Airflow control on the Kanger K2 is adjustable enough to move from a warm, restrained draw to something far more open without removing the tank.
What surprised us most was how little the 1.0 Ω mesh coil changes the draw character compared with the 20:80 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber. Vapour production is more than adequate at 150, 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.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Cinnamon Danish: sweet, spiced, described as cinnamon pastry with a light glaze. On a 20:80 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 1.0 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 1.0 Ω mesh 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.
Our advice is to order one, use it for a fortnight, and only then decide whether to stock up.
