RELX, as a leading brand in the industry, has gained widespread recognition for its products. So far, there are four generations of products: RELX Generation 1: Classic, RELX Generation 2: Alpha, RELX Generation 3: Spirit, and RELX Generation 4: Infinite. The most common question people ask is: which generation is better? Which one is the most suitable to start with? Here’s a comprehensive comparison of the different generations of RELX products to help you understand their strengths and weaknesses at a glance!

RELX Generation 1: Classic

Generation 1 remains the best-selling product of RELX to this day. It is ready to use right out of the box, disposable after use, compact in size, and easy to use, earning recognition from many users for its affordability and high cost-performance ratio!

Product Advantages:

1. Set price: 299 (1 device, 2 pods, 1 charging cable, 1 manual) is very affordable;

3. Simple and practical, with a relatively large vapor output;

4. The RELX tasting officer is currently only compatible with Generation 1 devices.

Product Disadvantages:

1. The device is smooth and easy to drop or lose; USB interface;

2. The straight airway design leads to more condensation and oil leakage (initial oil leakage, burnt coil, and no vapor issues were common, but quality control has improved significantly now);

3. Lacks technological features and user interaction experience, such as battery reminders, vibrations, Bluetooth, etc.; Overall, RELX Generation 1 can be considered the founding product of RELX, thanks to its high cost-performance ratio, making it highly recommended for beginners. The variety of flavors and sufficient quantity make it convenient and practical.

RELX Generation 2: Alpha

Generation 2 represents a significant technological advancement, featuring a more business-oriented design, innovative oil leakage prevention, and improved flavor experience.

Product Advantages:

1. Integrated aluminum alloy body, fresh business style, elegant appearance, and uses a Type-C interface for convenience;

2. Pods can be inserted either way, reducing vapor output, with a circular airway that enhances flavor smoothness;

3. A wall-mounted system for separating condensation, improving condensation prevention;

4. 10-minute 15-puff vibration reminder (15 puffs ≈ one cigarette);

Product Disadvantages:

1. The business style is not very friendly to women;

2. The set price is 399, which is not low, and each box contains only 2 pods, each with 1.6ml, making it less economical for long-term use; (However, Generation 2 has also released packs with three pods, indicating that the company is working to improve its cost-performance ratio);

3. Heat dissipation is slightly poor, with a high proportion of after-sales issues related to heat dissipation and dust accumulation;

4. The author believes it is an intermediate product, with better performance in the subsequent Generation 3.

In summary, RELX Generation 2 Alpha can be considered a significant advancement in RELX products, far surpassing other products of its time in terms of technology and features, making it more suitable for business professionals.

RELX Generation 3: Spirit

RELX Spirit is currently the highest quality and technology product from RELX. Based on Generation 2, it has advanced oil leakage prevention, condensation prevention, and technological features.

Product Advantages:

1. Set includes 1 device and 4 pods, allowing for a one-time experience of more flavors; the device is slim and stylish, with better rubber anti-slip effects;

2. Smoother and softer flavor, mimicking the sensation of smoking most realistically, with the highest flavor quality;

3. Oil leakage and condensation prevention technology at the highest level, with 4 layers of silicone sealing tightly;

4. In addition to the 15-puff vibration reminder and battery reminder, a new Bluetooth function has been added, allowing connection to the "RELX Me" app for real-time data monitoring.

Product Disadvantages:

1. Expensive! The product is excellent, but the price is relatively high at 450 per set;

2. Fewer pods per pack, with only 2 pods, each containing 1.45ml.

In summary, RELX Spirit is the strongest product from RELX, with the highest standards in pod quality control and user interaction, but this also means a higher price, making it more suitable for those with high flavor demands.

RELX Generation 4: Infinite

RELX Infinite is like an enhanced version of Generation 1, with a high cost-performance ratio and many impressive improvements! Generation 4 Infinite is also one of my favorites, providing a more comfortable experience.

Product Advantages:

1. Frosted texture, rounded appearance, compact and charming, with a great hand feel, winning international design awards;

2. Price is 439 per set (including the infinite charging case), with the same number of pods as Generation 1, 3 pods per box, making it very cost-effective;

3. Super long maze airway, extremely strong oil leakage and condensation prevention;

4. Flavor experience is improved over Generation 1, providing a more comfortable and rich taste;

5. 15-puff vibration reminder, Type-C charging port, battery reminder, and pods can be inserted either way;

6. A highlight is the infinite charging case, which acts as both a storage box and a power bank, capable of charging the device 3-4 times, convenient and stylish!

Product Disadvantages:

1. The paint on the device body is relatively thin, and it is easy to chip or wear off, affecting aesthetics;

2. The biggest issue is the insufficient supply, with Generation 4 pods frequently out of stock;

3. The number of flavors for Generation 4 is relatively small, although they are all popular flavors, the flavor experience is limited.

In summary, RELX Generation 4 is a highly cost-effective new product, significantly improving flavor and user experience based on Generation 1, making it a highly recommended product.

Above, I have introduced the advantages and disadvantages of each generation of RELX products. I believe everyone now has an understanding of the four generations of RELX products. In general, here’s a brief recommendation:

Generation 1 Classic: Suitable for beginners, extremely cost-effective, many flavors, affordable;

Generation 2 Alpha: Suitable for business professionals, improved flavor and oil leakage technology, but not highly recommended, average cost-performance;

Generation 3 Spirit: Suitable for those with high flavor demands, expensive, high quality, a top choice for affluent users;
