The real story of RELX devices in Trinidad (Melon Cucumber)
RELX devices advice for Trinidad, covering reducing nicotine, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
Local availability in Trinidad shapes the practical answer more than the marketing does. Comparing this against a 65:35 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume.
The gap between a mid-range and a premium relx devices narrows once you know which components you actually use. The instruction booklet is thin, but the diagrams are clear enough that most people set the device up without further help.
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 2.0 Ω regular coil changes the draw character compared with the 65:35 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber. The Stealth Grey finish hides fingerprints far better than the gloss options, which matters more than it sounds on a device handled daily.
For experienced users, 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 65:35 PG/VG blend, so if you prefer a smoother draw, mix accordingly.
Battery behaviour is where the Hcigar Akso earns its keep: the 3000 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 25 and recharges over Micro-USB. We would pair the Hcigar Akso with a 65:35 PG/VG liquid, which is where the balance between throat hit and cloud density sits most comfortably. The throat hit is noticeably firmer than a 65:35 PG/VG blend, so if you prefer a smoother draw, mix accordingly.
Charging over Micro-USB takes about 71 from empty, and the pass-through means the device can be used while plugged in on the smaller batteries. 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 experienced users, the learning curve is shorter than the specification list suggests, and daily use is straightforward from the first charge.
Build quality is the quiet differentiator here, with tight seams and a connector that has not loosened after repeated removal. The narrow bore mouthpiece is comfortable over long sessions and resists the condensation that gathers on narrower tips. Worth noting that the 510 bottom pin takes a small amount of care to keep clean, which we cover in the maintenance section below.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Classic Menthol: cool, sharp, described as clean peppermint with consistent coolness. On a 65:35 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 Trinidad
Availability in Trinidad is the factor that decides most outcomes here. Confirm the 2.0 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.
