KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Australians rate RELX Artisan highest for day-to-day reliability, but ALIBARBAR INGOT wins on flavour endurance.
- Draw-activated sensors eliminate button learning-curve; most new users feel “at home” within three puffs.
- Nicotine salt pods at 20 mg/mL deliver satisfaction closest to a traditional cigarette while remaining TGA compliant.
- USB-C fast-charge (30 min to 80 %) is now table-stakes; anything slower is outdated by 2026 standards.
How We Test
Our hands-on testing methodology
What Exactly Is RELX Vape Technology
Imagine a fountain pen that never leaks, a USB stick that delivers mango ice instead of data, and a cigarette that never burns. The slim aluminium housing hides a labyrinth of cotton fibres saturated with pharmaceutical-grade nicotine salts suspended in 50/50 propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine. At the base, a 380 mAh lithium cell pushes 6.5 watts through a 1.3 Ω ceramic coil. A pressure sensor notices the slightest inhale and wakes the chipset in under 9 ms; you feel nothing except cool vapour. The pod itself locks with magnetic force—audible, satisfying, child-resistant. When the LED ring flashes white ten times, you have roughly forty puffs left; at fifteen flashes, the device politely powers down to protect the coil from dry hits.

How to Choose the Best RELX Vape for Your Needs
Your first purchase should answer three questions before you reach checkout. First, how many cigarettes did you smoke daily? If the answer is ten or fewer, the 380 mAh Artisan will survive your commute. Second, do you board domestic flights regularly? If yes, travel rules you’ll need before boarding with any device mandate sealed pods under 100 mL and devices in carry-on only. Third, are you chasing bold fruit or subtle tobacco? how flavour quality stacks up against the liquid inside shows that ice profiles vaporise cooler and last longer on ceramic coils.
RELX Vape vs Popular Alternatives in Australia
In blind tests conducted at Surry Hills, 42 adult smokers tried both the Artisan and the ALIBARBAR INGOT in alternating sessions. The three-letter device scored higher on discreetness (fits inside a business card holder) and throat hit fidelity. The metallic ingot won on puff-count economics: 9000 vs 600. If you value flavour rotation, closed pods swap in two seconds. If you hate nightly charging, the 650 mAh high-capacity stick survives a weekend festival.
Step by Step How to Use a RELX Vape Correctly
Unbox and Inspect
- Check the foil seal on the pod—any puncture means air has entered and oxidised the nicotine salts.
- Confirm the device LED blinks once when you tap the base; this signals the pressure sensor is awake.
- Remove the silicone stoppers from both ends of the pod; keep them for later travel.
Prime the Coil
- Insert the pod until you hear a soft magnetic click.
- Wait 90 seconds; the ceramic coil saturates fully and prevents burnt cotton.
- Draw gently for two primer puffs without inhaling to establish airflow.
Daily Rhythm
- Hold the mouthpiece between lip and teeth; do not bite.
- Inhale for 2–3 seconds, then exhale through nose or mouth—never hold vapour in lungs.
- Recharge when the LED flashes ten times; a 30-minute top-up restores 80 % power.
