Verdampfer reviews: tested in Beijing (v17)
Verdampfer advice for Beijing, covering comparison, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
Budget matters in Beijing, but with verdampfer the cheapest option is rarely the one that lasts. Delivery across Beijing is typically two to four working days with tracked dispatch, and returns are straightforward within the standard window.
Local availability in Beijing shapes the practical answer more than the marketing does. The mesh tip mouthpiece is comfortable over long sessions and resists the condensation that gathers on narrower tips.
Replacement coils are widely available, and the 1.2 Ω mesh 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. What surprised us most was how little the 1.2 Ω mesh coil changes the draw character compared with the 35:65 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber.
Comparing this against a 35:65 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume. The 1.6 ml capacity is a genuinely useful middle ground: enough liquid for a long session without turning the device into a pocket problem. Expect roughly 1492 full puffs from a charge at 6 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing.
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 90, and pushing beyond that adds heat rather than anything worth carrying. Expect roughly 1492 full puffs from a charge at 6 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing.
The Champagne Gold finish hides fingerprints far better than the gloss options, which matters more than it sounds on a device handled daily. 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 and performance notes
A representative profile is Cherry Lime Soda: sweet, tart, described as red cherry with a lime lift. On a 35:65 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 1.2 Ω mesh mark before the coil begins to mute it.
Practical considerations in Beijing
Availability in Beijing is the factor that decides most outcomes here. Confirm the 1.2 Ω mesh and the USB-C are both in stock before committing, and check that the magnetic contact matches your existing device if you already own hardware. Duty and CNY rates move, so treat prices as current rather than fixed.
Take the time to get it right the first time; the difference shows up over months of use rather than days.
