Budget Shoppers Flavour variety packs shortlist: On A Budget
Flavour variety packs advice for Liverpool, covering mixing ratios, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
Budget matters in Liverpool, but with flavour variety packs the cheapest option is rarely the one that lasts. Battery behaviour is where the Robust Pro earns its keep: the 1000 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 80 and recharges over Micro-USB.
Budget matters in Liverpool, but with flavour variety packs the cheapest option is rarely the one that lasts. For budget shoppers, the learning curve is shorter than the specification list suggests, and daily use is straightforward from the first charge.
The throat hit is noticeably firmer than a 55:45 PG/VG blend, so if you prefer a smoother draw, mix accordingly. Pricing in Liverpool shifts with import duty, so the figures here reflect current GBP rates rather than a fixed list price. Airflow control on the Robust Pro is adjustable enough to move from a warm, restrained draw to something far more open without removing the tank.
Expect roughly 806 full puffs from a charge at 6 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing. Delivery across Liverpool is typically two to four working days with tracked dispatch, and returns are straightforward within the standard window. The build quality on Robust 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.
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 1.0 Ω mesh coil changes the draw character compared with the 55:45 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber. Vapour production is more than adequate at 80, and pushing beyond that adds heat rather than anything worth carrying.
Replacement coils are widely available, and the 1.0 Ω mesh coil is the sensible default to keep in stock. Flavour tracking stays consistent from the first day to roughly the 1.0 Ω mesh mark before the profile flattens and a swap makes sense. What surprised us most was how little the 1.0 Ω mesh coil changes the draw character compared with the 55:45 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Pineapple Ice Cream: creamy, sweet, described as dairy-style pineapple dessert. On a 55:45 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 1.0 Ω 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 1.0 Ω mesh 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 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.
