Beijing Verdampfer comparison chart (2.0 ml)
Verdampfer advice for Beijing, covering mg per ml, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
Budget matters in Beijing, but with verdampfer the cheapest option is rarely the one that lasts. Flavour tracking stays consistent from the first day to roughly the 0.8 Ω regular mark before the profile flattens and a swap makes sense.
Anyone who has compared verdampfer options in Beijing quickly learns that specification lists only tell part of the story. Expect roughly 1523 full puffs from a charge at 12 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 50:50 PG/VG blend, so if you prefer a smoother draw, mix accordingly. Pricing in Beijing shifts with import duty, so the figures here reflect current CNY rates rather than a fixed list price.
Charging over Micro-USB takes about 91 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 0.8 Ω regular coil is the newer generation. Battery behaviour is where the RELX Pro earns its keep: the 5000 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 50 and recharges over Micro-USB.
The included spare coils are useful for the first fortnight, after which you will be ordering your own. What surprised us most was how little the 0.8 Ω regular coil changes the draw character compared with the 50:50 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber. The Stealth Grey finish hides fingerprints far better than the gloss options, which matters more than it sounds on a device handled daily.
The silicone tip mouthpiece is comfortable over long sessions and resists the condensation that gathers on narrower tips. Worth noting that the Q-Plus takes a small amount of care to keep clean, which we cover in the maintenance section below. For rechargeable users, the learning curve is shorter than the specification list suggests, and daily use is straightforward from the first charge.
Build quality is the quiet differentiator here, with tight seams and a connector that has not loosened after repeated removal. The build quality on RELX Pro 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. Worth noting that the Q-Plus takes a small amount of care to keep clean, which we cover in the maintenance section below.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Lemon Lime Soda: citrusy, crisp, described as zesty lemon over lime with gentle carbonation. On a 50:50 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 0.8 Ω regular 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 0.8 Ω regular and the Micro-USB are both in stock before committing, and check that the Q-Plus matches your existing device if you already own hardware. Duty and CNY 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.
