RELX devices maintenance guide (Frozen Berry Sorbet) (v2)
RELX devices advice for Bahamas, covering shortfills, 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. Battery behaviour is where the Hcigar Akso earns its keep: the 650 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 80 and recharges over Micro-USB.
Budget matters in Bahamas, but with relx devices the cheapest option is rarely the one that lasts. Materials are unremarkable on paper and feel reassuringly solid in the hand, with no flex in the body at all.
Vapour production is more than adequate at 80, and pushing beyond that adds heat rather than anything worth carrying. 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.
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 0.8 Ω regular coil changes the draw character compared with the 65:35 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber. The Lilac Mist finish hides fingerprints far better than the gloss options, which matters more than it sounds on a device handled daily.
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. Charging over Micro-USB takes about 78 from empty, and the pass-through means the device can be used while plugged in on the smaller batteries. Materials are unremarkable on paper and feel reassuringly solid in the hand, with no flex in the body at all.
Comparing this against a 65:35 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume. The 2.5 ml capacity is a genuinely useful middle ground: enough liquid for a long session without turning the device into a pocket problem. Expect roughly 751 full puffs from a charge at 0 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing.
Battery behaviour is where the Hcigar Akso earns its keep: the 650 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 80 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. Replacement coils are widely available, and the 0.8 Ω regular coil is the sensible default to keep in stock.
Worth noting that the Q-Plus takes a small amount of care to keep clean, which we cover in the maintenance section below. Delivery across Bahamas is typically two to four working days with tracked dispatch, and returns are straightforward within the standard window. The build quality on Hcigar Akso is a step above most of what sits in the same price bracket, and the finish resists the chipping that usually shows after a few months of pocket carry.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Peach Blossom: sweet, delicate, described as soft white peach with a floral edge. On a 65:35 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 Bahamas
Availability in Bahamas 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 Q-Plus matches your existing device if you already own hardware. Duty and BSD rates move, so treat prices as current rather than fixed.
