The standard bore mouthpiece is comfortable over long sessions and resists the condensation that gathers on narrower tips. Comparing this against a 70:30 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume.

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 2.0 Ω regular coil changes the draw character compared with the 70:30 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.

For compact users, the learning curve is shorter than the specification list suggests, and daily use is straightforward from the first charge.

Flavour and performance notes

A representative profile is Cherry Lime Soda: sweet, tart, described as red cherry with a lime lift. On a 70:30 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 2.0 Ω regular mark before the coil begins to mute it.

Practical considerations in Rio de Janeiro

Availability in Rio de Janeiro is the factor that decides most outcomes here. Confirm the 2.0 Ω regular and the Micro-USB are both in stock before committing, and check that the 510 bottom pin matches your existing device if you already own hardware. Duty and BRL 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.
