VapeCon starter kits maintenance guide (v13)
VapeCon starter kits advice for Austria, covering regulations, what to look for and where the trade-offs actually sit.
Most Austria buyers start with a well-known brand name and then discover that fit and coil availability matter far more. Comparing this against a 55:45 PG/VG setup shows the difference clearly: one favours flavour, the other favours volume.
Budget matters in Austria, but with vapecon starter kits the cheapest option is rarely the one that lasts. The included spare coils are useful for the first fortnight, after which you will be ordering your own.
The throat hit is noticeably firmer than a 55:45 PG/VG blend, so if you prefer a smoother draw, mix accordingly. Pricing in Austria shifts with import duty, so the figures here reflect current EUR rates rather than a fixed list price. Airflow control on the RELX Pro is adjustable enough to move from a warm, restrained draw to something far more open without removing the tank.
Flavour tracking stays consistent from the first day to roughly the 0.8 Ω mesh mark before the profile flattens and a swap makes sense. In Austria, availability of the 0.8 Ω mesh coil is the practical bottleneck, not the device itself. The mesh tip mouthpiece is comfortable over long sessions and resists the condensation that gathers on narrower tips.
What surprised us most was how little the 0.8 Ω mesh coil changes the draw character compared with the 55:45 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. Worth noting that the 510 thread takes a small amount of care to keep clean, which we cover in the maintenance section below.
We would pair the RELX Pro with a 55:45 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 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.
Vapour production is more than adequate at 25, 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 3.0 ml capacity is a genuinely useful middle ground: enough liquid for a long session without turning the device into a pocket problem. Expect roughly 1506 full puffs from a charge at 12 mg/ml, based on average session length in our testing. Delivery across Austria is typically two to four working days with tracked dispatch, and returns are straightforward within the standard window.

Flavour and performance notes
A representative profile is Grape Frost Breeze: sweet, fruity, described as dark grape with a cool, brisk finish. On a 55:45 PG/VG ratio this reads clearly on the first day and holds its character to roughly the 0.8 Ω mesh mark before the coil begins to mute it.
Practical considerations in Austria
Availability in Austria is the factor that decides most outcomes here. Confirm the 0.8 Ω mesh and the Type-C fast charge are both in stock before committing, and check that the 510 thread matches your existing device if you already own hardware. Duty and EUR rates move, so treat prices as current rather than fixed.
