Verdampfer for loyal customers: what works (1200 mAh)
Verdampfer advice for Beijing, covering price breakdown, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.

Charging over Micro-USB takes about 76 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 Voopoo Drag earns its keep: the 650 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 200 and recharges over Micro-USB.
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 20:80 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.
What surprised us most was how little the 0.8 Ω regular coil changes the draw character compared with the 20:80 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber. The Champagne Gold 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.
The included spare coils are useful for the first fortnight, after which you will be ordering your own. Build quality is the quiet differentiator here, with tight seams and a connector that has not loosened after repeated removal. The Champagne Gold finish hides fingerprints far better than the gloss options, which matters more than it sounds on a device handled daily.
We would pair the Voopoo Drag with a 20:80 PG/VG liquid, which is where the balance between throat hit and cloud density sits most comfortably. Replacement coils are widely available, and the 0.8 Ω regular coil is the sensible default to keep in stock.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Passion Fruit Guava: tropical, tangy, described as tropical duo with a sour-sweet balance. On a 20:80 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.
Take the time to get it right the first time; the difference shows up over months of use rather than days.
