Buying advice

[1] If you were not originally a smoker, don’t buy it;

[2] If you like high cost-performance, enjoy customizing your device with wraps and accessories, can accept and build the habit of cleaning the device regularly, don’t mind carrying an extra old-style USB charging cable, and enjoy trying new flavors, buy the RELX 1st Generation;

[3] If you are a long-time smoker, have tried some vaping devices but feel the throat hit is not strong enough, and can accept the price of ￥99/2 pods, buy the RELX Alpha (2nd Generation);

[4] If you like having a high degree of control and have children around you, or for other reasons truly need functions such as a child lock that are only supported through a Bluetooth phone connection, and you also don’t mind the ￥99/2 pods price, then buy the RELX Lingdian (3rd Generation);

[5] If you want the smoothest possible draw, dislike troubles like leaking and seepage, and may need features such as wireless charging now or in the future, buy the RELX Infinity (4th Generation). Don’t forget: the 4th generation also supports 5th generation pods;

[6] If you often feel anxious about battery life and need to check the remaining battery level of the device from time to time, and are also certain that you do not need wireless charging (since the hardware does not support it, you won’t be able to add it later), then buy the RELX Phantom (5th Generation). Honestly, the biggest problem with the 5th generation right now is lack of stock.

Some friends may ask: I’ve been using the RELX 1st Generation for several years and want to upgrade my device, but I’ve found that even the latest models don’t have many new flavors. In that case, which one should I buy?

In that situation, I recommend choosing between the 4th and 5th generations based on your own needs. Whether in terms of product-line priority or pricing strategy, it is not hard to see that future new flavors will likely focus first on the 4th and 5th generation devices. Besides, judging from the current flavor lineup, these two generations also urgently need a richer pod selection—trust me on this.
