Cloud Chasers guide to Nicotine liquids (essential) (Kanger K2)
Nicotine liquids advice for Scotland, covering long-term test, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
There is no single best nicotine liquids for everyone in Scotland, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling something. Charging over USB-C takes about 89 from empty, and the pass-through means the device can be used while plugged in on the smaller batteries.
We spent weeks putting nicotine liquids options through their paces so the recommendations here reflect real use. Comparing this against a 65:35 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume.
Two things to check before ordering: the USB-C socket on the base and whether the 0.2 Ω dual mesh coil is the newer generation. Battery behaviour is where the Beipu B2 earns its keep: the 1000 mAh cell holds a usable charge for most of a day at 65 and recharges over USB-C. We would pair the Beipu B2 with a 65:35 PG/VG liquid, which is where the balance between throat hit and cloud density sits most comfortably.
The silicone tip mouthpiece is comfortable over long sessions and resists the condensation that gathers on narrower tips. Comparing this against a 65:35 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume. The 3.5 ml capacity is a genuinely useful middle ground: enough liquid for a long session without turning the device into a pocket problem.
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 0.2 Ω dual mesh coil changes the draw character compared with the 65:35 PG/VG liquid sitting in the chamber. The Cobalt Blue finish hides fingerprints far better than the gloss options, which matters more than it sounds on a device handled daily.
In Scotland, availability of the 0.2 Ω dual mesh coil is the practical bottleneck, not the device itself. Pricing in Scotland shifts with import duty, so the figures here reflect current GBP rates rather than a fixed list price. Comparing this against a 65:35 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume.
The throat hit is noticeably firmer than a 65:35 PG/VG blend, so if you prefer a smoother draw, mix accordingly. The build quality on Beipu B2 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. Comparing this against a 65:35 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume.
Flavour tracking stays consistent from the first day to roughly the 0.2 Ω dual mesh mark before the profile flattens and a swap makes sense. Replacement coils are widely available, and the 0.2 Ω dual mesh coil is the sensible default to keep in stock. The silicone tip mouthpiece is comfortable over long sessions and resists the condensation that gathers on narrower tips.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Blue Raspberry Frost: sweet, tangy, described as sharp blue raspberry with a long cold finish. On a 65:35 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 0.2 Ω dual mesh 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 0.2 Ω dual mesh and the USB-C are both in stock before committing, and check that the 510 bottom pin 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.
