Choosing RELX devices: disposable buyers edition (Kanger K2)
RELX devices advice for Bahamas, covering starter kits, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
Budget matters in Bahamas, but with relx devices the cheapest option is rarely the one that lasts. The Graphite finish hides fingerprints far better than the gloss options, which matters more than it sounds on a device handled daily.
Budget matters in Bahamas, but with relx devices the cheapest option is rarely the one that lasts. Two things to check before ordering: the USB-C socket on the base and whether the 0.6 Ω mesh coil is the newer generation.
Charging over USB-C takes about 39 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 USB-C socket on the base and whether the 0.6 Ω mesh coil is the newer generation. Battery behaviour is where the Hcigar Akso earns its keep: the 1000 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 30 and recharges over USB-C.
Build quality is the quiet differentiator here, with tight seams and a connector that has not loosened after repeated removal. The mesh tip mouthpiece is comfortable over long sessions and resists the condensation that gathers on narrower tips. Two things to check before ordering: the USB-C socket on the base and whether the 0.6 Ω mesh coil is the newer generation.
Replacement coils are widely available, and the 0.6 Ω mesh 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. What surprised us most was how little the 0.6 Ω mesh coil changes the draw character compared with the 80:20 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber.
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 80:20 PG/VG blend, so if you prefer a smoother draw, mix accordingly. Pricing in Bahamas shifts with import duty, so the figures here reflect current BSD rates rather than a fixed list price.
In Bahamas, availability of the 0.6 Ω mesh coil is the practical bottleneck, not the device itself. The Graphite finish hides fingerprints far better than the gloss options, which matters more than it sounds on a device handled daily. Worth noting that the 510 thread 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 Mango Tango Ice: sweet, tropical, described as ripe mango warmed by a light menthol coolness. On a 80:20 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 0.6 Ω mesh 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 0.6 Ω mesh and the USB-C are both in stock before committing, and check that the 510 thread matches your existing device if you already own hardware. Duty and BSD rates move, so treat prices as current rather than fixed.
