Choosing Flavour variety packs: beginners edition (Vanilla Custard)

Flavour variety packs advice for Liverpool, covering maintenance, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.

Local availability in Liverpool shapes the practical answer more than the marketing does. Comparing this against a 60:40 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume.

Budget matters in Liverpool, but with flavour variety packs the cheapest option is rarely the one that lasts. The instruction booklet is thin, but the diagrams are clear enough that most people set the device up without further help.

The instruction booklet is thin, but the diagrams are clear enough that most people set the device up without further help. Flavour tracking stays consistent from the first day to roughly the 0.15 Ω dual mesh mark before the profile flattens and a swap makes sense. In Liverpool, availability of the 0.15 Ω dual mesh coil is the practical bottleneck, not the device itself.

Vapour production is more than adequate at 60, and pushing beyond that adds heat rather than anything worth carrying. Materials are unremarkable on paper and feel reassuringly solid in the hand, with no flex in the body at all. The instruction booklet is thin, but the diagrams are clear enough that most people set the device up without further help.

What surprised us most was how little the 0.15 Ω dual mesh coil changes the draw character compared with the 60:40 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber. The Deep Purple 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 bottom pin takes a small amount of care to keep clean, which we cover in the maintenance section below.

Build quality is the quiet differentiator here, with tight seams and a connector that has not loosened after repeated removal. Charging over Type-C fast charge takes about 39 from empty, and the pass-through means the device can be used while plugged in on the smaller batteries. Worth noting that the 510 bottom pin takes a small amount of care to keep clean, which we cover in the maintenance section below.

Two things to check before ordering: the Type-C fast charge socket on the base and whether the 0.15 Ω dual mesh coil is the newer generation. Battery behaviour is where the Freemax Maxus earns its keep: the 800 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 60 and recharges over Type-C fast charge. We would pair the Freemax Maxus with a 60:40 PG/VG liquid, which is where the balance between throat hit and cloud density sits most comfortably.

For beginners, the learning curve is shorter than the specification list suggests, and daily use is straightforward from the first charge. 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. In Liverpool, availability of the 0.15 Ω dual mesh coil is the practical bottleneck, not the device itself.

Specifications

Here is what the engineering actually delivers, without the marketing language.

Flavour and performance notes

A representative profile is Strawberry Cream: creamy, sweet, described as smooth strawberry custard with a light dairy note. On a 60:40 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 0.15 Ω dual 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 0.15 Ω dual mesh and the Type-C fast charge 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.
