RELX 5th Gen Phantom Authenticity Identification Guide

The RELX 5th Gen Phantom features a unique four-bar light display that shows battery level and charging progress at any time. Combined with upgraded leak-resistant performance, the RELX 5th Gen quickly became a core best-seller in the RELX lineup. As demand for the RELX 5th Gen surged, counterfeit versions also began to appear on the market.

RELX 5th Gen Authentic vs. Fake Comparison:

• First, compare the external appearance. The outer packaging details of counterfeit products are relatively rough, lacking the textured raised-and-recessed finish. Fake packaging is comparatively flat, while the genuine product has a recessed area here. Starting with the packaging, the printing of the production date and anti-counterfeiting label differs from the genuine product in size and darker color. More importantly, the printing of the product’s anti-counterfeiting code is very different from the authentic one, and the coating over the code also differs in both material and appearance.
  

• In addition, some counterfeit products have blurry text on the outer packaging, giving a feel that is completely different from the genuine product.

• After opening the package and comparing the devices, the genuine 5th Gen tidal light is smaller, while the counterfeit tidal light is larger, and there are also differences in detailed dimensions. In theory, the 5th Gen’s charging efficiency should be improved by about 30%, but counterfeit products charge far more slowly than a normal RELX 5th Gen. In addition, once you hold a counterfeit product, you will usually notice a significant difference in feel compared with the genuine one.

• The internal components used are also low-quality parts. In terms of performance, counterfeit products also suffer from insufficient power and inconsistent internal motor feedback. Vapor production and draw feel also differ to some extent from genuine RELX products. The independent pressure-relief hole added to the bottom of the 5th Gen device is designed to balance the pressure difference inside and outside the device. Generally speaking, most products purchased through online channels are discounted products, offering some price advantage, but consumer rights protection becomes more difficult and official intervention is harder to obtain.
