Choosing RELX devices: cloud chasers edition (Classic Menthol)

RELX devices advice for Trinidad, covering comparison, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.

There is no single best relx devices for everyone in Trinidad, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling something. The throat hit is noticeably firmer than a 40:60 PG/VG blend, so if you prefer a smoother draw, mix accordingly.

Budget matters in Trinidad, but with relx devices the cheapest option is rarely the one that lasts. Vapour production is more than adequate at 70, and pushing beyond that adds heat rather than anything worth carrying.

Comparing this against a 40:60 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 735 full puffs from a charge at 3 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing.

Airflow control on the SMOK Nord 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 70, and pushing beyond that adds heat rather than anything worth carrying. Expect roughly 735 full puffs from a charge at 3 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing.

Charging over Micro-USB takes about 38 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 1.5 Ω regular coil is the newer generation. Battery behaviour is where the SMOK Nord earns its keep: the 2500 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 70 and recharges over Micro-USB.

We would pair the SMOK Nord with a 40:60 PG/VG liquid, which is where the balance between throat hit and cloud density sits most comfortably. Replacement coils are widely available, and the 1.5 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.

Worth noting that the 510 bottom pin takes a small amount of care to keep clean, which we cover in the maintenance section below. For cloud chasers, 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.

Flavour tracking stays consistent from the first day to roughly the 1.5 Ω regular mark before the profile flattens and a swap makes sense. In Trinidad, availability of the 1.5 Ω regular coil is the practical bottleneck, not the device itself. The silicone tip mouthpiece is comfortable over long sessions and resists the condensation that gathers on narrower tips.

Specifications

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

Flavour and performance notes

A representative profile is Pineapple Ice Cream: creamy, sweet, described as dairy-style pineapple dessert. On a 40:60 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 1.5 Ω regular mark before the coil begins to mute it.

Practical considerations in Trinidad

Availability in Trinidad is the factor that decides most outcomes here. Confirm the 1.5 Ω regular and the Micro-USB are both in stock before committing, and check that the 510 bottom pin matches your existing device if you already own hardware. Duty and TTD 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.
