Recently, two major domestic e-cigarette brands launched their so-called "smart" e-cigarette products: the RELX Lingdian and the MOTI S from MOTI. The release of these two products has brought significant changes to the highly homogenized e-cigarette market, and this transformation in e-cigarettes will undoubtedly influence the observations of future entrants.
The RELX Lingdian smart e-cigarette went live and began pre-sales on August 14, while MOTI followed closely with the launch of its first smart e-cigarette, the MOTI S, on August 19. Without further ado, let's take a look at the breakthroughs in both products.
First, let's understand the RELX Lingdian. This product boasts a strong sense of technology in both its design and functionality. According to official information, the standard kit for the RELX Lingdian is priced at 450 yuan and includes one device and four pods. The technology emphasizes features such as a wave-patterned surface, smart child lock, type-C fast charging, and four-layer solid silicone sealing.
In terms of details, the RELX Lingdian works in conjunction with the RELX ME app on mobile, which can record usage counts, flavor preferences, and other usage data. It also features nicotine intake monitoring reminders and vertical community interactions, providing a new user experience. In the editor's view, RELX ME places greater emphasis on the social aspect.
Next, let's take a look at the MOTI S from MOTI. The overall appearance of this product looks very cool. From the app perspective, the iMOTI offers richer functionality and playability, allowing users to set different flavors and light colors, as well as the number of puffs. It also features locking and locating functions.
In terms of pricing, MOTI announced that users could obtain 20,000 units of the MOTI S for 0 yuan, which has generated significant interest among e-cigarette enthusiasts and coupon hunters. The so-called 0 yuan acquisition of the MOTI S requires participation in a support task to earn a 300 yuan discount coupon code, which can be redeemed for an order of 99 yuan. Finally, users can enter a community lottery for a chance to win a free order of 99 yuan. For those who do not win, they will receive three pods and one device for 99 yuan. In the editor's view, even without winning the free order, this price is incredibly valuable compared to RELX's 450 yuan.
The highlight of these smart e-cigarettes lies in the addition of Bluetooth modules.
In fact, as early as 2017, Shanlan's products already featured Bluetooth modules, but the Chinese e-cigarette market was still in its infancy at that time, and the connection between Bluetooth and e-cigarettes had not yet realized its value. Whether the utilization of Bluetooth modules will create a trend remains uncertain.
Recently, the RELX ME and MOTI iMOTI e-cigarette apps were reportedly removed from the Apple App Store for allegedly violating review regulations, undoubtedly dousing cold water on the momentum of e-cigarette innovators. However, both apps can still be downloaded from major Android app stores, allowing users who want to experience these apps to connect with Android devices.
Finally, regarding the editor's view on smart e-cigarettes, it is believed that the future of smart e-cigarettes will definitely be a combination of hardware and software. The editor hopes that future smart e-cigarettes can quickly sense people's needs like smart robots, integrating big data and introducing artificial intelligence technology to achieve human-machine interaction and provide a better lifestyle.
Whether all this can be realized remains to be seen.
