Choosing Nicotine salt liquids: budget shoppers edition (Beipu B2)
Nicotine salt liquids advice for Scotland, covering review, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
Anyone who has compared nicotine salt liquids options in Scotland quickly learns that specification lists only tell part of the story. The included spare coils are useful for the first fortnight, after which you will be ordering your own.
The gap between a mid-range and a premium nicotine salt liquids narrows once you know which components you actually use. Build quality is the quiet differentiator here, with tight seams and a connector that has not loosened after repeated removal.
The Matte Sand finish hides fingerprints far better than the gloss options, which matters more than it sounds on a device handled daily. Worth noting that the Q-Plus takes a small amount of care to keep clean, which we cover in the maintenance section below. For budget shoppers, the learning curve is shorter than the specification list suggests, and daily use is straightforward from the first charge.
The wide bore mouthpiece is comfortable over long sessions and resists the condensation that gathers on narrower tips. Comparing this against a 20:80 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume. The 8.0 ml capacity is a genuinely useful middle ground: enough liquid for a long session without turning the device into a pocket problem.
Expect roughly 1242 full puffs from a charge at 20 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing. Delivery across Scotland is typically two to four working days with tracked dispatch, and returns are straightforward within the standard window. 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.
Airflow control on the RELX Pro is adjustable enough to move from a warm, restrained draw to something far more open without removing the tank. Vapour production is more than adequate at 50, 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.
Pricing in Scotland shifts with import duty, so the figures here reflect current GBP rates rather than a fixed list price. What surprised us most was how little the 0.8 Ω mesh coil changes the draw character compared with the 20:80 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber. Vapour production is more than adequate at 50, and pushing beyond that adds heat rather than anything worth carrying.
Charging over Micro-USB takes about 62 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 Micro-USB socket on the base and whether the 0.8 Ω mesh coil is the newer generation. For budget shoppers, 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 Vanilla Custard: creamy, rich, described as warm vanilla bean with a smooth cream finish. On a 20:80 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 0.8 Ω mesh 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 0.8 Ω mesh and the Micro-USB are both in stock before committing, and check that the Q-Plus matches your existing device if you already own hardware. Duty and GBP rates move, so treat prices as current rather than fixed.
