Flavor GuideNicotine StrengthsCompatibilityTroubleshooting

Choosing the right relx pods can feel overwhelming at first. Flavor names vary, nicotine strength labels aren’t always standardized across markets,
and device generations introduce compatibility nuances. This buyer’s guide simplifies the process so you can match a pod to your taste preferences, pick an
appropriate nicotine strength, and ensure it fits your relx vape device.

Flavor Profiles: How to Pick a Pod You’ll Actually Finish

RELX has built its reputation around approachable flavor lines—classic tobaccos, mentholated mints, fruit-forward blends, and dessert-inspired options.
While availability varies by region, the flavor logic is consistent: provide a tight set of reliable profiles that balance sweetness, cooling, and throat hit.

Tip: if you’re unsure, start with mint or a balanced fruit. These categories tend to maintain flavor clarity over the life of the pod and are less prone to “flavor fatigue.”

Nicotine Strengths: Finding Your Comfort Zone

Nicotine labeling can differ by region (percentage vs. mg/mL), but the experience guidance remains similar:

• Lower strengths (e.g., 1–2%): Softer throat hit, suitable if you are sensitive to nicotine or use your device frequently throughout the day.

• Mid strengths (e.g., 3–4%): A balanced option for users seeking noticeable satisfaction without an aggressive throat hit.

• Higher strengths (e.g., 5% where permitted): More pronounced throat hit and faster satisfaction; best for shorter, spaced-out sessions.

Start a level lower than you think you need. You can always step up, but stepping down is harder if you’ve already adapted to a higher strength.

Compatibility: Matching Pods to Devices

RELX devices and pods are designed as closed systems, so physical fit and electrical contacts matter. When shopping, match the pod series to your device
series name (often printed on packaging or in the user manual). If your device name and the pod series don’t explicitly match, assume they’re not compatible.

Performance Tips: Getting the Most from Each Pod

• Store upright: Helps keep wicks evenly saturated and reduces the chance of gurgling.

• Gentle draws: Quick, hard puffs can flood the coil; steady draws yield smoother vapor.

• Room temperature: Extreme heat or cold can thin/thicken e-liquid and affect flavor.

• Wipe contacts: A dry cotton swab on the device and pod contacts prevents misfires.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Weak flavor or muted vapor: Try a fresh pod, fully charge the device, and ensure firm pod seating.
Gurgling or spitback: Remove, tap the pod gently mouthpiece-down on a tissue, wipe contacts, re-seat, and take softer draws.
Leaking: Avoid pocket pressure, don’t leave pods in hot cars, and keep them upright.

How Do RELX Pods Compare with High-Capacity Disposables?

Closed-pod systems and high-capacity disposables serve different needs. If you prefer a compact rechargeable device with quick flavor swaps, RELX pods are
a natural fit. If you want an all-in-one with extremely long range between replacements, you might consider a modern disposable like
Foger Bit 35K. It’s a different product class, but comparing it to a
pod-based setup helps clarify your priorities: do you prefer the simplicity of swapping a small pod, or the longevity of a single sealed unit?

How to Choose: A Simple Decision Flow

1. Pick a flavor family you’re likely to enjoy daily (mint or fruit are safe first picks).

1. Select nicotine strength based on session length: lower for frequent, longer sessions; higher for short, infrequent sessions.

1. Confirm compatibility by matching pod series to your device name.

1. Test and adjust: If the throat hit is too strong, step down; if satisfaction is lacking, step up modestly.

Quick FAQ

Can I mix flavors? Yes—many users rotate mint with fruit to keep taste buds fresh.

How long does a pod last? It depends on draw length and frequency. If flavor dulls or vapor drops, replace the pod.

What if I’m between strengths? Choose the lower one first; you can take an extra puff rather than overdoing the hit.
