RELX pods are prefilled, replaceable cartridges for RELX’s closed-pod devices. In Dubai, they come in several models, flavour profiles and nicotine strengths, and which one you can use depends on the RELX device you own. This guide compares RELX Pod Pro and Pod Pro 2, explains device compatibility, walks through the flavour families, shows how pod pricing works in the UAE, and lists what to check before you buy. It is written for adults who already use nicotine products and does not encourage anyone to start.
What Are RELX Pods?
RELX pods are sealed cartridges filled with nicotine e-liquid, each with a built-in ceramic coil. You attach one to a compatible RELX battery device and replace it when it is empty. You never refill it.
That closed design means there is no liquid to pour, so spills are less likely, and RELX promotes leak resistance through its SuperSmooth™ technology. The trade-off is limited choice: you can only use pods made for your device. Nicotine is addictive, so pods are intended only for adults who already use nicotine.
RELX Pod Models Sold in the Dubai
Two pod models are most relevant to Dubai buyers. Both are 1.9 ml closed pods, and both are sold in the RELX pod collection.
RELX Pod Pro
Pod Pro is the earlier model. RELX’s UAE-facing product information lists it for Infinity, Artisan and Essential devices. It gives a fixed power output. Puff counts are quoted differently by different sellers (figures from roughly 500 to 600 appear), so treat any number as a rough guide, since real use varies.
RELX Pod Pro 2
Pod Pro 2 is the newer pod, built to work with the Infinity 2’s adjustable power modes. Retailers describe it as using an upgraded coil and revised seals, and quote higher puff figures than Pod Pro. Those figures are seller claims and vary between listings, so verify them against RELX’s own product page.
Pod Pro vs Pod Pro 2
| RELX Pod Pro | RELX Pod Pro 2 | |
| Capacity | 1.9 ml | 1.9 ml |
| Power adjustment | Fixed output | Enables adjustable modes on Infinity 2 |
| Puff count | Varies by listing (~500–600 quoted) | Varies by listing (quoted higher) |
| Best matched to | Infinity, Essential, Artisan | Infinity 2 (check other devices) |
Specifications differ between sellers. Confirm the details on the pack or the manufacturer’s page.
RELX Pod Compatibility Guide
In short, match the pod to your exact device model. Pod Pro 2 is the pod that unlocks Infinity 2 power adjustment. Older devices are generally listed with Pod Pro. Sources disagree on some cross-fits, so verify before buying.
Compatibility at a glance
| Device | Pod Pro | Pod Pro 2 | Notes |
| Infinity | Listed by RELX | Reported by some sellers | Check the pack for your device |
| Infinity 2 | Reported to work; fixed output | Yes, unlocks power modes | Some sellers say Pod Pro 2 only |
| Essential | Listed by RELX | Varies by seller | Confirm before buying |
| Artisan | Listed by RELX | Varies by seller | Confirm before buying |
Do not assume that similar-looking pods are interchangeable. At least one UAE seller warns that the Pod Pro and Pod Pro 2 shells are different, and forcing a pod into a device can cause poor contact or leaks. If a pod does not seat easily, stop and check compatibility.
How the Infinity 2 power modes work
Pressing the side button cycles through three modes, shown by LED colour:
- Eco (about 5.5W, green): lighter vapour, intended to stretch each pod
- Smooth (about 6.5W, blue): a balanced draw
- Boost (about 8W, purple): stronger flavour and a firmer throat hit
Higher power generally uses a pod faster. Some sources report that with older pods the device simply stays at 6.5W.
Which RELX Pod Should You Choose?
This is about fit, not one pod being better.
Choose Pod Pro if:
- your device is listed for it
- you own an Infinity, Essential or Artisan device
- the flavour or strength you want is stocked in that model
Choose Pod Pro 2 if:
- you own an Infinity 2 and want the adjustable power modes
- your device is confirmed as compatible with it
- the flavour or strength you want is stocked in that model
Start with your device name, then pod model, then flavour and strength.
RELX Pod Flavours in the UAE
In short, RELX pod flavours fall into fruit, fruit-and-ice, menthol, beverage, tea and tobacco families. Availability varies by model, nicotine strength, retailer and stock.
Flavour families
| Family | Examples | Profile |
| Fruit | Smooth Mango, Strawberry Burst, Tangy Grape | Sweet and fruity |
| Fruit and ice | Watermelon Ice, Banana Freeze | Fruit with cooling |
| Menthol | Menthol Plus, Menthol Xtra, Fresh Red | Mint and cooling |
| Beverage | Dark Sparkle (cola), Orange Sparkle, Pink Lemonade | Soda-inspired |
| Tea | Longjing Ice Tea, Oolong Ice Tea, Jasmine Green Tea | Tea and herbal |
| Tobacco | Classic Tobacco, Rich Tobacco | Tobacco |
UAE listings also show others, such as Blue Raspberry, Lemon Mint and Double Apple, and stock changes often.
Choosing by taste profile
- Fruity: start with the fruit family. Fruit-and-ice adds a cooling finish.
- Cooling: menthol and “Ice” or “Freeze” names generally signal a cooling effect.
- Less sweet: tea and tobacco profiles tend to be less sugary than fruit and beverage flavours.
- Drink-inspired: the Sparkle range and Pink Lemonade suit this taste.
Taste is personal, so buying a single pack first is a low-commitment way to try a flavour.
Nicotine Strengths
RELX pods are commonly listed in 18mg, 30mg and 50mg strengths, or 1.8%, 3% and 5%. Percentages and mg/ml describe the same thing, where 3% equals 30mg/ml. Not every flavour comes in every strength, and permitted levels can change, so check the label and current UAE rules. A higher strength is not a better product, and it carries more nicotine.
RELX Pod Prices in Dubai
Prices vary by model, flavour, pack size, retailer and promotion. UAE listings reviewed in September 2026 showed examples from about AED 39 to AED 45 for certain Pod Pro products, and promotional listings can be lower. Check the product page for today’s price.
Price per pod
Divide the pack price by the number of pods. For example, a two-pod pack at AED 45 works out to AED 22.50 per pod. Multi-pack bundles usually lower this figure. Monthly spend depends entirely on how many pods you buy, so comparing per-pod cost is more useful than any monthly estimate.
What affects the price
- Model and flavour: listings can differ between Pod Pro and Pod Pro 2
- Pack size: larger bundles usually cost less per pod
- Retailer: shops, online stores and marketplaces price differently
- Promotions: deals change often
- Authenticity: an unusually low price is a warning sign
Buying RELX Pods in Dubai: What to Check
The details differ between sellers, so check these points on the product page:
- online store or physical shop, and whether delivery covers your area
- current stock for your exact model, flavour and strength
- price per pod compared across sellers
- age verification at checkout or in store
- packaging condition on arrival
How to check that pods are genuine
- Scan the anti-counterfeit code. Genuine RELX packaging carries a QR code you can verify through RELX’s official channel.
- Inspect the packaging. Look for damaged seals, blurry printing, inconsistent branding or missing information.
- Check the seller. An established retailer with clear product details is safer than an anonymous listing.
- Compare against official information. Use RELX’s product pages as a reference.
- Be wary of very low prices. They are a common counterfeit signal.
If a code fails to verify or the packaging looks wrong, do not use the product.
Age and regulatory basics
The legal age to buy vaping products in the UAE is 18, online and in store. UAE authorities set product standards, nicotine limits, online-sale rules, and import requirements, and these can change. Check current official guidance before you buy, rather than relying on any single retailer’s summary.
How Long Does a RELX Pod Last?
There is no guaranteed figure. Lifespan depends on the device, power setting, puff length, how often the pod is used and the pod itself. Signs a pod is finished include:
- noticeably weaker flavour
- reduced vapour
- a burnt taste
- unusual leaking
- an inconsistent draw
Stop using a pod that tastes burnt or looks damaged and replace it.
How to Store RELX Pods in Dubai’s Heat
Store pods away from direct sunlight and excess heat, in their original packaging until needed, and out of reach of children and pets. Do not leave them in a parked car. Follow any storage guidance printed on the pack, as I could not verify a specific temperature range.
Device Care
- Clean the contacts. Wipe the connector pins with a dry cotton swab from time to time.
- Prevent condensation. Moisture near the pod connection can affect performance.
- Keep it dry. Humidity and water damage devices.
- Never force a pod in. A poor fit points to a compatibility problem.
- Charge with the supplied cable and follow RELX’s charging guidance for your device.
Common RELX Pod Problems
Leaking. Possible causes include condensation, a damaged pod, poor seating, heat exposure or a contact problem. Remove the pod, wipe the contacts and try again with an undamaged pod.
Burnt taste. Often a sign the pod is nearly empty or defective. Replace it.
Weak vapour. Check the device charge, pod connection, contacts and compatibility.
Pod not recognised. Check that the pod model is listed for your device and that it is fully seated.
