Choosing Nicotine salt liquids: pod fans edition (Kanger K2)
Nicotine salt liquids advice for Scotland, covering verdict, 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. Flavour tracking stays consistent from the first day to roughly the 2.0 Ω regular mark before the profile flattens and a swap makes sense.
Search results for nicotine salt liquids in Scotland are crowded, which is why this page focuses on what actually changes the experience. The included spare coils are useful for the first fortnight, after which you will be ordering your own.
We would pair the RELX Pro 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 2.0 Ω regular coil is the sensible default to keep in stock. The included spare coils are useful for the first fortnight, after which you will be ordering your own.
Comparing this against a 20:80 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume. The 5.0 ml capacity is a genuinely useful middle ground: enough liquid for a long session without turning the device into a pocket problem. Expect roughly 1374 full puffs from a charge at 6 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing.
Charging over Type-C fast charge takes about 54 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 Type-C fast charge socket on the base and whether the 2.0 Ω regular coil is the newer generation. Battery behaviour is where the RELX Pro earns its keep: the 800 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 50 and recharges over Type-C fast charge.
The build quality on RELX 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. What surprised us most was how little the 2.0 Ω regular coil changes the draw character compared with the 20:80 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber. The Lilac Mist finish hides fingerprints far better than the gloss options, which matters more than it sounds on a device handled daily.
For pod fans, 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. The throat hit is noticeably firmer than a 20:80 PG/VG blend, so if you prefer a smoother draw, mix accordingly.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Peach Blossom: sweet, delicate, described as soft white peach with a floral edge. On a 20:80 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 Scotland
Availability in Scotland is the factor that decides most outcomes here. Confirm the 2.0 Ω regular and the Type-C fast charge are both in stock before committing, and check that the 510-X matches your existing device if you already own hardware. Duty and GBP rates move, so treat prices as current rather than fixed.
If any of the above addresses what you were trying to solve, the rest of the pages in this section cover it in more detail.
