Beijing Verdampfer FAQ and answers (v3)

Verdampfer advice for Beijing, covering charging, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.

We spent weeks putting verdampfer options through their paces so the recommendations here reflect real use. The throat hit is noticeably firmer than a 30:70 PG/VG blend, so if you prefer a smoother draw, mix accordingly.

There is no single best verdampfer for everyone in Beijing, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling something. Replacement coils are widely available, and the 1.2 Ω mesh coil is the sensible default to keep in stock.

Two things to check before ordering: the Micro-USB socket on the base and whether the 1.2 Ω mesh coil is the newer generation. Battery behaviour is where the RELX Pro earns its keep: the 3000 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 25 and recharges over Micro-USB. We would pair the RELX Pro with a 30:70 PG/VG liquid, which is where the balance between throat hit and cloud density sits most comfortably.

The Forest Green 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 tank lovers, the learning curve is shorter than the specification list suggests, and daily use is straightforward from the first charge.

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 1734 full puffs from a charge at 3 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing. Replacement coils are widely available, and the 1.2 Ω mesh coil is the sensible default to keep in stock.

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 68 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 1.2 Ω mesh coil is the newer generation.

What surprised us most was how little the 1.2 Ω mesh coil changes the draw character compared with the 30:70 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber. The silicone tip mouthpiece is comfortable over long sessions and resists the condensation that gathers on narrower tips. Worth noting that the 510 thread takes a small amount of care to keep clean, which we cover in the maintenance section below.

Pricing in Beijing shifts with import duty, so the figures here reflect current CNY rates rather than a fixed list price. Comparing this against a 30:70 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.

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 Peach Blossom: sweet, delicate, described as soft white peach with a floral edge. On a 30:70 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 Beijing

Availability in Beijing is the factor that decides most outcomes here. Confirm the 1.2 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 CNY 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.
