Which e-cigarette brand is better?
Actually, I have been vaping for almost a year now, and generally speaking, most people who ask this question are not very familiar with e-cigarettes. The real development of e-cigarettes has been over the past decade, but it really exploded in China only in 2018, due to significant technological breakthroughs, particularly the invention of nicotine salts. Many brands began to emerge rapidly.
I have personally tried brands like RELX, YOOZ, MOTI, and others. If I had to purely find the best, it would still be RELX, as it is widely recognized, but other brands are also quite good.
Which e-cigarette brand is better? In terms of flavor, I find it hard to recommend because each brand has its unique flavors, and most consumers tend to get tired of the flavors, including the brand itself, so trying out other brands is also a good choice.
Which e-cigarette brand is better? In terms of price, many people think RELX is expensive while other brands are cheaper. I believe this is a misconception. I compared many brands and found that the official prices of the pods are almost the same, fluctuating around 33 RMB each (of course, this is excluding purchases from unofficial channels). Why do I compare the prices of pods across brands? Because for real e-cigarette users, the biggest expense is on the pods, not the device. The device is a one-time purchase that is reused, while the ongoing cost is always the pods.
For example: one person buys a RELX 4th generation device for 268 RMB, while another buys a YOOZ device for 9.9 RMB. If both use 9 pods a month, the cost for RELX would be 33*9=297 RMB a month, while YOOZ would be 35*9=315 RMB. Therefore, the annual cost for RELX would be 3564+268=3832 RMB, while YOOZ would be 3780+9.9=3790 RMB. So clearly, the price of the device has almost no impact on your annual e-cigarette expenses.
So which brand is better?
I personally find it hard to define, just like cigarettes. How many people smoke for the flavor? I believe not many. Cigarettes from different brands are almost indistinguishable in flavor; the urban tobacco flavor is what most people smoke for, and the more expensive the cigarette brand, the more it reflects personal status. Personally, I feel there is not much difference between smoking Zhonghua and Baisha. It's mostly about face.
So I believe that e-cigarettes may also become like cigarettes in the future, where brand value plays a significant role in consumer psychology.
