Nicotine salt liquids head to head for diy mixers: On A Budget
Nicotine salt liquids advice for Scotland, covering head to head, 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. Expect roughly 1631 full puffs from a charge at 3 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing.
Anyone who has compared nicotine salt liquids options in Scotland quickly learns that specification lists only tell part of the story. Delivery across Scotland is typically two to four working days with tracked dispatch, and returns are straightforward within the standard window.
In Scotland, availability of the 0.8 Ω regular coil is the practical bottleneck, not the device itself. The wide bore mouthpiece is comfortable over long sessions and resists the condensation that gathers on narrower tips. Comparing this against a 80:20 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume.
Airflow control on the Lost Vape Thru is adjustable enough to move from a warm, restrained draw to something far more open without removing the tank. 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 1631 full puffs from a charge at 3 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing.
Build quality is the quiet differentiator here, with tight seams and a connector that has not loosened after repeated removal. Charging over Micro-USB takes about 58 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 regular coil is the newer generation.
What surprised us most was how little the 0.8 Ω regular coil changes the draw character compared with the 80:20 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber. Vapour production is more than adequate at 150, and pushing beyond that adds heat rather than anything worth carrying. Expect roughly 1631 full puffs from a charge at 3 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Cherry Lime Soda: sweet, tart, described as red cherry with a lime lift. On a 80:20 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 0.8 Ω regular 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 regular and the Micro-USB are both in stock before committing, and check that the magnetic contact matches your existing device if you already own hardware. Duty and GBP rates move, so treat prices as current rather than fixed.
Our advice is to order one, use it for a fortnight, and only then decide whether to stock up.
