RELX Models: Which Device Is Right for You?

RELX Models

Choosing between RELX models can feel overwhelming.

RELX has grown from a simple pod system into a full lineup of devices. Premium leather and metal Artisan designs. Flagship Infinity devices. Budget-friendly Essential picks. Each one serves a different type of vaper.

This guide breaks down every current RELX model, real specifications, pricing, pod compatibility, and which device actually fits your lifestyle.

RELX Models Explained: Which Device Is Actually Different?

Strip away colours and branding, and the RELX lineup splits into five clear roles.

Essential is the entry-level RELX, the cheapest and simplest device built for beginners. Infinity is the classic mainstream flagship, with a clean aluminium body and a more familiar, polished feel than Essential. Infinity Plus is the refined fixed-output middle ground, better suited to daily carry than Infinity without adding any extra complexity. Infinity 2 is the adjustable-power RELX, the only model here that lets you change output strength. Artisan is the premium materials and design-first RELX, focused on finish over features.

In simple terms: if you want the cheapest RELX, buy Essential. If you want the best all-round balance, buy Infinity Plus. If you want the most control, buy Infinity 2. If you care most about premium design, buy Artisan.

Note: UAE retailer listings don’t consistently publish an exact battery figure for the Infinity, so no single number is stated as confirmed here.

Availability, colour options, and pricing can vary by UAE retailer, so it’s worth checking current local listings before buying.

What Matters Most When Choosing a RELX Device

Five factors matter more than anything else when comparing RELX models.

Pod compatibility. Not every device supports the same pod families. If you already use Pod Pro or Pod Pro 2, compatibility may matter more than battery size or design.

Fixed output vs adjustable power. Most RELX devices are fixed-output and built for simplicity. The Infinity 2 only makes sense as an upgrade if you actually plan to use its power modes, not just for the bigger battery alone.

Budget vs long-term value. The cheapest device isn’t always the best buy. If a slightly pricier model gives you better battery life or pod flexibility, it can offer better value over time.

Premium design vs practical carry. Artisan is a materials and finish upgrade, not necessarily a performance upgrade. Essential and Infinity stay more practical and minimal.

Battery and charging convenience. Heavy users may lean toward Infinity 2 for its larger capacity, while casual users may not need it at all.

What Makes RELX Different From Other Pod Devices

Every RELX model uses a closed pod system: the device handles battery and heating, the pod holds pre-filled e-liquid. Insert a pod, inhale, done. No refilling, no mess.

That consistency carries across the whole lineup, from the budget Essential to the premium Artisan.

RELX Artisan: The Premium Choice

The RELX Artisan is built from genuine leather or textured metal, not plastic. It is designed for users who care about grip, finish, and long-term daily use.

Users upgrading from Infinity or Essential who want a more premium feel. Anyone who values build quality and finish over raw price.

RELX Essential: The Budget-Friendly Original

RELX Infinity Plus: The Balanced Middle Ground

The RELX Infinity Plus is best understood as a refinement of the Infinity rather than a cut-down Infinity 2. It keeps the fixed-output simplicity of the original Infinity while offering a more refined overall package, making it a stronger “buy once, use daily” option.

RELX Infinity vs Infinity Plus vs Infinity 2

Infinity: the cheapest Infinity-series entry. Fixed output. Good if you want a clean RELX experience without paying more.

Infinity Plus: better all-around value for most users. Fixed output, but a more refined overall package, the better choice if you want a “buy once, use daily” middle ground.

Infinity 2: the only choice if you want adjustable power. Largest confirmed battery. Best for users who want more control and don’t mind the Pod Pro 2 dependency.

Which one should you buy? If you don’t care about modes, skip Infinity 2 and save money with Infinity Plus. If you want control over your vape, Infinity 2 is the only option that delivers it.

Pod Pro vs Pod Pro 2

Pod Pro is the standard RELX experience, compatible across Artisan, Essential, Infinity, and Infinity Plus.

Pod Pro 2 is the more future-proof option. It works across Essential, Infinity, and Infinity Plus too, but becomes essential rather than optional once you own an Infinity 2, since power mode switching won’t work without it.

Best RELX Model by User Type

Best for beginners: Essential. Best for most users: Infinity Plus. Best for ex-smokers wanting simplicity: Essential or Infinity. Best for adjustable power: Infinity 2. Best for premium feel: Artisan. Best if you already use Pod Pro 2: Infinity 2 or Infinity Plus, depending on budget. Best if you want to spend the least: Infinity or Essential. Best for the most future-proof option: Infinity 2.

Should You Upgrade Your RELX Device?

Upgrade from Essential to Infinity if you want a more refined, flagship-style RELX experience.

Upgrade from Infinity to Infinity Plus if you want a more polished daily device and better value, without moving to adjustable power.

Upgrade from Infinity or Infinity Plus to Infinity 2 if you want power modes and the biggest battery in the lineup.

Stay with your current RELX if you’re already satisfied with fixed-output performance and don’t need a more premium finish.

Are Older RELX Devices Still Worth Buying?

Yes, if your priority is simplicity, lower price, and compatibility with the RELX pod ecosystem rather than adjustable power. Infinity and Essential still make sense for users who don’t need power modes and want a familiar closed-pod experience. Infinity 2 is more advanced, but it isn’t automatically the best choice for every user.

RELX Troubleshooting

Device not charging: Check the USB-C cable and clean the charging port of any debris.

Weak vapour or no vapour: Confirm the pod is seated correctly. Replace the pod if the issue continues.

Red blinking light: Usually signals low battery. On the Infinity 2, it can also mean an incompatible pod.

Device not firing: Clean the pod contact pins gently with a dry cloth. Avoid water or liquid cleaners.

Infinity 2 not changing colour or mode: Confirm you’re using a Pod Pro 2, then press the base button firmly.
