Flavour and performance notes

Practical considerations in Rio de Janeiro
Availability in Rio de Janeiro is the factor that decides most outcomes here. Confirm the 1.5 Ω regular 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 BRL 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.
