RELX devices maintenance guide (30 W)

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

We spent weeks putting relx devices options through their paces so the recommendations here reflect real use. Airflow control on the Hcigar Akso is adjustable enough to move from a warm, restrained draw to something far more open without removing the tank.

Budget matters in Trinidad, but with relx devices the cheapest option is rarely the one that lasts. The Matte Sand finish hides fingerprints far better than the gloss options, which matters more than it sounds on a device handled daily.

What surprised us most was how little the 1.2 Ω mesh coil changes the draw character compared with the 70:30 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber. 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.

Two things to check before ordering: the Micro-USB socket on the base and whether the 1.2 Ω mesh coil is the newer generation. Battery behaviour is where the Hcigar Akso earns its keep: the 4000 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 200 and recharges over Micro-USB. We would pair the Hcigar Akso with a 70:30 PG/VG liquid, which is where the balance between throat hit and cloud density sits most comfortably.

For flavour seekers, 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 70:30 PG/VG blend, so if you prefer a smoother draw, mix accordingly.

The included spare coils are useful for the first fortnight, after which you will be ordering your own. 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.

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 1.2 Ω mesh mark before the profile flattens and a swap makes sense. In Trinidad, availability of the 1.2 Ω mesh coil is the practical bottleneck, not the device itself.

Expect roughly 806 full puffs from a charge at 3 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing. Replacement coils are widely available, and the 1.2 Ω mesh coil is the sensible default to keep in stock. Pricing in Trinidad shifts with import duty, so the figures here reflect current TTD rates rather than a fixed list price.

Specifications

The specification sheet is where the real trade-offs show.

Flavour and performance notes

A representative profile is Pineapple Ice Cream: creamy, sweet, described as dairy-style pineapple dessert. On a 70:30 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 Trinidad

Availability in Trinidad is the factor that decides most outcomes here. Confirm the 1.2 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 TTD rates move, so treat prices as current rather than fixed.
