RELX Vape Reviews (2026)

RELX stays in the lane of easy, pocketable closed-system vapes. For this review, we focused on four mainstream picks—Infinity 2 Plus, Essential 2, Artisan Plus, and MagicGo 4000—and scored each one on flavor, throat hit, vapor production, draw feel, battery life, leak resistance, build quality, ease of use, and portability. Our actual testing focused on how they behaved in repeat daily use, not just on spec sheets.

Product Overview

Device Overall Score What Stood Out Trade-Offs Best For
RELX Infinity 2 Plus 4.4/5 Three useful power modes, fast charging, balanced draw Still limited compared with open systems Adults who want one device that can shift intensity
RELX Essential 2 4.1/5 Low entry cost, simple carry, steady output Smaller battery, no modes Adults who want the easiest daily carry
RELX Artisan Plus 4.3/5 Premium feel, clearer battery readout, smooth delivery Highest upfront cost in this group Adults who care about finish and comfort
RELX MagicGo 4000 4.0/5 Zero-maintenance convenience, large capacity, easy carry Disposable trade-offs, weaker finish near empty Adults who want true grab-and-go use

How We Tested It

In our actual testing, we rotated each device through commute use, desk breaks, and evening sessions to see how they handled short pulls, longer sessions, pocket carry, and quick top-ups. We scored flavor, throat hit, vapor production, airflow and draw, battery life, leak resistance, build quality, ease of use, and portability on the same 5-point scale every time. Marcus Reed pushed heavier puff patterns, Jamal Davis focused on pocket carry and quick breaks, and Dr. Adrian Walker reviewed wording for clinical neutrality. These products are for adults only, and our impressions are practical testing notes rather than medical advice.

RELX Vape: Our Testing Experience

RELX Infinity 2 Plus

Our Testing Experience

RELX Infinity 2 Plus

The Infinity 2 Plus was the easiest device here to tune around the day. In our testing, Eco felt light and clean for commutes, Smooth gave the most balanced everyday puff, and Boost added extra density without turning the device harsh. That made it the most flexible pick in the lineup.

Battery behavior stayed steady in actual use, and the fast top-up mattered more than expected. Our charge checks landed at roughly 15 minutes to reach 80%, which is enough for a quick reset before heading back out. Pod life also held up well: depending on pacing and mode, we usually landed in the 520-to-610-puff range before flavor started to flatten.

What we liked:

  • Three genuinely different power modes without menu clutter

  • Fast charging that fits short breaks

  • Balanced draw with reliable flavor continuity

Who it is best for:

  • Adults who want a pod device that can shift intensity

  • People who recharge in short windows

  • Users who value predictable daily performance

Where it falls short:

  • Not built for large, airy direct-lung pulls

  • Still tied to pod availability and format

  • Boost mode runs pods down faster

RELX Infinity 2 Plus

  • Device type: Prefilled pod device.

  • Power output: 6.5W / 8W / 10W.

  • Battery capacity: 440mAh.

RELX Essential 2

Our Testing Experience

RELX Essential 2

The Essential 2 is the plainest device here, and that is mostly its point. It runs at a fixed 10W, so the puff feels the same from morning to night. In our testing, it never felt flashy, but it did feel easy to learn and easy to repeat.

That simplicity worked well for pocket carry and short breaks. The trade-off showed up when we pushed it harder: long back-to-back pulls made it feel a little drier than the larger devices. The 380mAh battery also showed up sooner in daily use, although our charging checks still reached about 80% in roughly 30 minutes.

What we liked:

  • Simple, repeatable 10W output

  • Low entry cost

  • Easy pocket carry for short sessions

Who it is best for:

  • Adults who want the simplest RELX daily carry

  • People buying a backup device

  • Users who prefer a steady puff every time

Where it falls short:

  • Less flexible than multi-mode devices

  • Smaller battery than the 440mAh options

  • Can feel flat under heavy chain use

RELX Essential 2

Pros & Cons

Pros Cons
Very low device cost No power modes
Steady 10W behavior Smaller battery for heavier users
Simple daily carry Not ideal for long chain sessions

Details

  • Device type: Prefilled pod device.

  • Power output: 10W.

RELX Artisan Plus

Our Testing Experience

RELX Artisan Plus

The Artisan Plus stood out less for raw performance and more for how finished it felt in the hand. The grip, weight, and battery readout all felt more deliberate than the cheaper devices. In daily use, that made it the calmest device to live with.

Its 8W output did not hit as hard as the Infinity 2 Plus in Boost, but it stayed smooth and even. We also liked the clearer battery feedback: the 4-stage indicator cut down on guesswork during normal carry, and the 440mAh battery kept pace with the Infinity 2 Plus in our routine.

What we liked:

  • Premium hand feel and comfort

  • Clear battery indicator

  • Smooth, even output

Who it is best for:

  • Adults who care about build and in-hand comfort

  • People who want predictable sessions over higher intensity

  • Users who like clearer battery feedback

Where it falls short:

  • Highest device price in this group

  • No mode range like the Infinity 2 Plus

  • Premium finish will not matter to everyone

RELX Artisan Plus

Pros & Cons

Pros Cons
Premium-feeling design Highest price among the pod devices here
Clear 4-stage battery indicator Less output range than the Infinity 2 Plus
Smooth 8W performance Overkill if you only want cheap and simple

Details

  • Device type: Prefilled pod device.

  • Power output: 8W.

  • Battery capacity: 440mAh.

  • Charging: USB-C.

  • Battery indicator: 4-stage indicator with 25% steps.

  • Compatible pods: RELX Pod Pro and RELX Pod.

RELX MagicGo 4000

Our Testing Experience

RELX MagicGo 4000

The MagicGo 4000 was the easiest device here to live with because it asks almost nothing from you. No cable, no pods, and no setup. In our testing, it worked best on errand days, car trips, and other situations where convenience mattered more than fine control.

The draw stayed smooth early on, and the ceramic setup helped it avoid the rougher feel we often get from weaker disposables. Like most disposable vapes, though, it was best in the first stretch of its life. As the device got closer to empty, flavor lost some fullness and the experience became more about convenience than peak performance.

What we liked:

  • True convenience with no charging or refilling

  • Large capacity for a disposable

  • Smooth draw in the stronger part of its run

Who it is best for:

  • Adults who want the simplest possible routine

  • Travel days and busy schedules

  • People who do not want to carry pods or cables

Where it falls short:

  • Disposable waste and one-way lifecycle

  • Flavor drops off near the end

  • Less precise than a good pod setup

RELX MagicGo 4000

Pros & Cons

Pros Cons
No charging or refilling Disposable waste and one-way lifecycle
6 mL capacity with a large battery Flavor can fade near the end
Smooth ceramic-coil draw Less consistent than a fresh pod setup

Details

  • Device type: Disposable vape.

  • Puff class: 4000+ puffs.

  • Battery: 1100mAh.

  • E-liquid capacity: 6 mL.

  • Coil: Ceramic coil system.

  • Power: 8W.

The Infinity 2 Plus was the most even do-it-all performer because its modes let us change the feel without changing devices. The Artisan Plus came closest on day-to-day balance and clearly led on fit and finish. The Essential 2 won on ease and value but gave up flexibility. The MagicGo 4000 scored highest on convenience, with the expected late-run drop in flavor.

How to Choose the RELX Vape?

Start with how much involvement you want. Choose the Infinity 2 Plus if you want to adjust the feel across the day. Choose the Essential 2 if you want the lowest-friction daily carry with the simplest feature set. Choose the Artisan Plus if comfort, finish, and clearer battery feedback matter most. Choose the MagicGo 4000 if you want the least maintenance and the fewest extras to carry. In simple terms: long days and mixed pacing point to the Infinity 2 Plus, a backup role fits the Essential 2, a nicer daily carry fits the Artisan Plus, and short trips or busy schedules favor the MagicGo 4000.

Limitations

  • RELX Infinity 2 Plus: pod-dependent, limited direct-lung airflow, and faster pod use in Boost.

  • RELX Essential 2: no modes, smaller battery, and less composure under heavy chain use.

  • RELX Artisan Plus: higher price, no mode range, and a premium finish that not everyone will value.

  • RELX MagicGo 4000: disposable waste, no recharge option, and weaker flavor near the end.

RELX Vape Vs. Alternatives

Pro Tips for RELX Vape

  • Pick one mode on the Infinity 2 Plus and stay with it for a full day before deciding how much power you really want.

  • Use short USB-C top-ups instead of waiting for a full drain on the rechargeable devices.

  • Keep pods upright in a bag when you can, especially in warm weather.

  • If flavor starts to dull, slow your puff cadence before assuming the pod is spent.

  • Wipe the pod contacts and device bay with a dry swab every week or two.

  • For disposables, expect the final stretch to be more about convenience than best flavor.

  • Give each device a few seconds between pulls instead of chain-hitting it nonstop.

FAQs

Which RELX device felt most set-and-forget?

The Essential 2 was the most hands-off. It has one output level, a simple indicator, and the most predictable puff pattern in the group.

Do the Infinity 2 Plus modes really change the experience?

Yes. Eco feels lighter, Smooth is the most balanced setting, and Boost adds density and a firmer mouthfeel. It is still the same device, but the difference is easy to notice in real use.

How do I reduce leaks or condensation with pod devices?

Keep pods upright when possible, avoid long chains of back-to-back pulls, and wipe the contacts regularly. In our testing, most day-to-day leak complaints looked more like condensation buildup than major liquid loss.

About the Author: Chris Miller

Chris Miller is the lead reviewer and primary author at VapePicks. He coordinates the site’s hands-on testing process and writes the final verdicts that appear in each review. His background comes from long-term work in consumer electronics, where day-to-day reliability matters more than launch-day impressions. That approach carries into nicotine-device coverage, with a focus on build quality, device consistency, and the practical details that show up after a device has been carried and used for several days.

In testing, Chris concentrates on battery behavior and charging stability, especially signs like abnormal heat, fast drain, or uneven output. He also tracks leaking, condensate buildup, and mouthpiece hygiene in normal routines such as commuting, short work breaks, and longer evening sessions. When a device includes draw activation or button firing, he watches for misfires and inconsistent triggering. Flavor and throat hit notes are treated as subjective experience, recorded for context, and separated from health interpretation.

Chris works with the fixed VapePicks testing team, which includes a high-intensity tester for stress and heat checks, plus an everyday-carry tester who focuses on portability and pocket reliability. For safety context, VapePicks relies on established public guidance and a clinical advisor’s limited review of risk language, rather than personal medical recommendations.
