Which Is Better: lil, IQOS, or Relx?

Which is better: lil, IQOS, or Relx? This comparison review puts all three devices side by side. IQOS is probably the most widely used and best-known of the three. It works by using a heating blade to heat the tobacco inside the tobacco stick, producing a
Which is better: lil, IQOS, or Relx? Let's compare the three e-cigarettes: IQOS, lil, and Relx. IQOS is likely the most widely used and recognized among these three e-cigarettes. Its principle involves heating tobacco sticks using a heating element, producing real tobacco flavor without fire, ash, or smoke.

IQOS features a design with a charging dock and a heating stick. The stick is removed from the charging dock after being fully charged, and the tobacco stick is inserted into the stick for heating. After use, the stick is placed back into the charging dock for recharging. The 2.4plus model requires about 4 minutes to recharge after finishing one stick, while the new 3.0 model has reduced charging time by 40 seconds after upgrading the heating element.

Although the charging process can be cumbersome and does not allow for continuous use, IQOS is indeed closer to real cigarettes and, compared to traditional cigarettes, contains no tar, making it healthier. Therefore, IQOS has a loyal customer base.

Those who vape are aware that lil e-cigarettes are often compared to IQOS. This e-cigarette, produced by a South Korean tobacco giant, differs from IQOS's modular design by adopting an integrated design, meaning the stick and charging are combined. Its shape is a cylindrical heating structure, slightly larger than IQOS.

The integrated design makes it more convenient to carry than IQOS, allowing for continuous use, which are shortcomings of IQOS. However, does this mean lil is better than IQOS? Clearly not.

Friends who use IQOS should know that it is relatively fragile, and the heating element can easily break. In contrast, lil is not as prone to damage as IQOS. However, the issue is that if IQOS breaks, it can be repaired domestically, while if lil breaks, there is currently no way to repair it domestically, rendering the device useless.

Another issue is the flavor. IQOS can be paired with Marlboro and HEETS, offering flavors that include original, menthol, and fruit varieties. The official tobacco sticks for lil are FIIT sticks. Although theoretically, Marlboro and HEETS sticks can also be used with lil, the flavor experience is still best with IQOS.

However, Marlboro or HEETS sticks do not have dedicated stores in the country and can only be purchased through agents, which carries the risk of being out of stock and higher prices, leading some smokers to face supply issues.

Relx e-cigarettes, also known as悦刻, are a domestic e-cigarette brand. Unlike the previous two, this e-cigarette operates on the principle of vaporizing e-liquid.

One of its core technologies involves adding nicotine salts to the e-liquid. A nicotine content of 5% is sufficient to alleviate cravings, as traditional cigarettes use nicotine alkaloids, while nicotine salts have a higher nicotine content and provide a smoother experience with less irritation to the body. It contains no tar, no open flame, no high-temperature combustion, and requires no cleaning.

Its second technology features an embedded magnetic suction design, allowing for easy and quick insertion of e-liquid pods without extra steps. The device uses a capacitive sensor instead of a traditional switch, meaning there are no buttons on the device; simply inhale to use it without waiting.

The kit comes with two e-liquid pods, classic tobacco and refreshing menthol flavors, with each pod equivalent to 60 IQOS tobacco sticks.

Of course, no device is perfect. One downside of Relx is that it does not have a puff count indicator, so users must control their intake.

When choosing an e-cigarette, we should consider factors such as professionalism, industrial design, safety design, and initial costs.

Among these three e-cigarettes, IQOS undoubtedly offers the best flavor, closest to the taste of real cigarettes, followed by lil. Relx, due to its use of e-liquid pods, is relatively less favorable, but it offers a rich variety of flavors with over a dozen options.

In terms of appearance, the IQOS charging dock and heating stick design is quite unique, requiring the additional carrying of tobacco sticks, which may be inconvenient for frequent travelers. The lil e-cigarette's integrated design is more convenient than IQOS, but like IQOS, lil also requires carrying additional tobacco sticks.

A Relx pod can last for 3-5 days, so generally, one or two pods are sufficient for travel. The design of Relx is very minimalist, with a metal matte texture, providing a good feel, making it suitable for young people or those needing it for business occasions.

When choosing an e-cigarette, one must consider the initial costs. Due to the high prices and frequent stock shortages of Marlboro and HEETS sticks, the initial costs for IQOS and lil increase, making daily consumption slightly higher than similar tobacco products. In contrast, Relx is relatively cheaper, with the device including two pods priced at 299, and a box of pods costing 99, making it easy to purchase without worrying about stock shortages.

Someone once calculated how much money using Relx would save you. A box of pods contains three pods.

Calculating based on a dose of one puff per second:

In terms of dosage, one pod is equivalent to three packs of cigarettes, conversely, one pack of cigarettes equals one-third of a pod.

If measured in traditional cigarette units, using Relx is equivalent to buying a pack of cigarettes priced at 11 yuan, which is less than half the price of traditional cigarettes.

If you smoke a pack a day, you can save 14 yuan per pack, which adds up to 5,110 yuan a year. Compared to IQOS, the savings are even greater!

In summary, IQOS, lil e-cigarettes, and Relx all have their pros and cons, and the specific choice should depend on individual needs.
