Flavour variety packs add-ons in Liverpool, Blueprint (1.2 ohm mesh)
Flavour variety packs advice for Liverpool, covering add-ons, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
We spent weeks putting flavour variety packs options through their paces so the recommendations here reflect real use. Comparing this against a 30:70 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume.
Anyone who has compared flavour variety packs options in Liverpool quickly learns that specification lists only tell part of the story. The build quality on Hcigar Akso is a step above most of what sits in the same price bracket, and the finish resists the chipping that usually shows after a few months of pocket carry.
Battery behaviour is where the Hcigar Akso earns its keep: the 800 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 50 and recharges over Micro-USB. We would pair the Hcigar Akso with a 30:70 PG/VG liquid, which is where the balance between throat hit and cloud density sits most comfortably. Replacement coils are widely available, and the 0.2 Ω dual mesh coil is the sensible default to keep in stock.
Charging over Micro-USB takes about 59 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 Micro-USB socket on the base and whether the 0.2 Ω dual mesh coil is the newer generation. Battery behaviour is where the Hcigar Akso earns its keep: the 800 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 50 and recharges over Micro-USB.
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 1550 full puffs from a charge at 20 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing. Replacement coils are widely available, and the 0.2 Ω dual mesh coil is the sensible default to keep in stock.
The build quality on Hcigar Akso is a step above most of what sits in the same price bracket, and the finish resists the chipping that usually shows after a few months of pocket carry. Build quality is the quiet differentiator here, with tight seams and a connector that has not loosened after repeated removal. Charging over Micro-USB takes about 59 from empty, and the pass-through means the device can be used while plugged in on the smaller batteries.
Flavour tracking stays consistent from the first day to roughly the 0.2 Ω dual mesh mark before the profile flattens and a swap makes sense. In Liverpool, availability of the 0.2 Ω dual mesh coil is the practical bottleneck, not the device itself. The mesh tip mouthpiece is comfortable over long sessions and resists the condensation that gathers on narrower tips.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Classic Menthol: cool, sharp, described as clean peppermint with consistent coolness. On a 30:70 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 0.2 Ω dual 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 0.2 Ω dual 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.
