Nicotine salt liquids buying guide for Liverpool (Innokin X) (v2)
Nicotine salt liquids advice for Liverpool, covering B2B, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
We spent weeks putting nicotine salt liquids options through their paces so the recommendations here reflect real use. Worth noting that the magnetic contact takes a small amount of care to keep clean, which we cover in the maintenance section below.
We spent weeks putting nicotine salt liquids options through their paces so the recommendations here reflect real use. Charging over Type-C fast charge takes about 31 from empty, and the pass-through means the device can be used while plugged in on the smaller batteries.
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. 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.
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 0.8 Ω regular coil is the practical bottleneck, not the device itself.
What surprised us most was how little the 0.8 Ω regular coil changes the draw character compared with the 40:60 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 magnetic contact takes a small amount of care to keep clean, which we cover in the maintenance section below.
Battery behaviour is where the IQOS III earns its keep: the 3000 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 200 and recharges over Type-C fast charge. We would pair the IQOS III with a 40:60 PG/VG liquid, which is where the balance between throat hit and cloud density sits most comfortably. The throat hit is noticeably firmer than a 40:60 PG/VG blend, so if you prefer a smoother draw, mix accordingly.
Expect roughly 1514 full puffs from a charge at 0 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing. Replacement coils are widely available, and the 0.8 Ω regular coil is the sensible default to keep in stock. Pricing in Liverpool shifts with import duty, so the figures here reflect current GBP rates rather than a fixed list price.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Frozen Berry Sorbet: sweet, icy, described as cold berry inhale with a soft exhale. On a 40:60 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 Liverpool
Availability in Liverpool is the factor that decides most outcomes here. Confirm the 0.8 Ω regular and the Type-C fast charge are both in stock before committing, and check that the magnetic contact 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.
