Relx – What is it in Vaping?
Definition
Relx is a closed-system pod vape brand that delivers Nicotine Salt”>nicotine salte-liquid through pre-filled, leak-resistant cartridges called “Relx Pods.” Designed as an ultra-portable alternative to Rebuildable Dripping Atomizers (RDAs) and RTAs, Relx devices use automatic draw activation—no buttons, coils, or wicking skills required. The purpose is to offer smokers and new vapers a cigarette-like experience with minimal setup, consistent flavour, and higher nicotine satisfaction than traditional freebase e-liquids.
Technical Details
Relx devices operate via a constant 3.7 V output from a 350 mAh lithium-ion cell, delivering roughly 7–8 W to a 1.0–1.2 Ω Coil“>ceramic coil housed inside each sealed pod. The pod capacity is 1.9 mL (TGO 110 compliant in Australia) and uses FEELM ceramic wicking for even heating and reduced spit-back. Pods come in 20 mg/mL or 30 mg/mL nicotine salt strengths, with magnetic gold-plated contacts ensuring a secure, tool-free connection. Variations include the Relx Infinity (USB-C, 380 mAh), Relx Essential (budget model), and Relx Phantom (larger 400 mAh). Unlike Refillable pod systems or RDTAs, Relx pods are disposable once empty.
Usage & Tips
- Priming: No priming needed—insert pod and inhale gently; avoid hard draws that can flood the coil.
- Charging: Use the supplied 0.5 A cable; full charge in ~45 min. Red LED = charging, white = ready.
- Common Issues: Weak vapour? Check pod seating; residue on contacts can be cleaned with a dry cottontip. Burnt taste? Pod is empty—replace immediately.
- Safety: Store pods below 25 °C; nicotine salts are toxic if swallowed. Dispose of pods at e-waste or pharmacy drop-off points.
History & Context
Founded in Beijing in 2017, Relx Technology grew alongside Australia’s nicotine prescription regulations. Its closed-system approach sidesteps the DIY complexity of RDAs and RTAs, appealing to smokers seeking a legal, low-maintenance alternative under the Personal Importation Scheme.
