RELX Flavors: The Full Lineup and What’s Legal to Buy in the US

RELX runs two separate product lines, a rechargeable pod system and a newer range of high-puff disposables, and the flavor list differs depending on which one you mean and which country’s storefront you’re looking at. There’s also a regulatory reality most retailer pages skip entirely: RELX isn’t on the FDA’s authorized products list. Here’s the full flavor breakdown, plus what that legal status actually means for anyone buying in the US.

RELX Has Two Different Product Lines

RELX Pod Pro and RELX Ultra Pod are rechargeable pod systems with swappable cartridges. Nova, Crystal, Creator, and Pocket are disposables. Flavors don’t automatically carry over between the two.

  • Pod system (Infinity platform). RELX Pod Pro pods work with the RELX Essential, Infinity, Phantom, and Artisan devices. RELX’s own site states the Pod Pro line has been tested across 145 flavors with more than 10,000 consumers, the widest flavor count in the RELX catalog. The newer RELX Ultra Pod is compatible with both the Infinity devices and the RELX Ultra device, though its flavor list is smaller and more curated.
  • Disposables (SilkMesh line). Nova, Crystal, Creator, and Pocket are RELX’s newer high-puff disposables, built to compete with brands like Geek Bar and Lost Mary on puff count. These run a separate flavor lineup from the pod system, and RELX’s Infinity pods aren’t compatible with them.

If a flavor you’ve seen mentioned isn’t showing up on the device you own, this is usually why.

RELX Pod Flavors (Pod Pro and Ultra Pod)

CategoryExamples
Tobacco and mentholClassic Tobacco, Menthol Plus, Double Mint
Fruit and iceWatermelon Ice, Fresh Peach, Fresh Strawberry, Green Grape Ice
Tea and botanicalJasmine Green Tea, DaHongPao Lemon Tea, Green Plum Ice Tea
Dessert and specialtyTaro Scoop, Dark Sparkle (cola), Coconut Water

These names come directly off RELX’s own official product listings. The full 145-flavor catalog spans far more than what’s listed here, this is a representative slice across the main taste categories.

RELX Disposable Flavors (Nova, Crystal, Creator, Pocket)

The disposable line leans harder into tea and Asian dessert profiles than most competing US disposable brands, alongside standard fruit and mint options.

CategoryExamples
Tea and botanicalLongjing Ice Tea, Tieguanyin Tea, Oolong
Asian dessertLudou Ice (mung bean), Red Bean, Taro
Fruit and iceMango, Lychee, Watermelon, Grape
Mint and otherMint Freeze, Cola Ice

Longjing Ice Tea in particular shows up repeatedly as RELX’s most-referenced flavor across retailer and review sites, and it’s one of the few disposable flavors in the US market built around an actual tea profile rather than a fruit-and-cream combination.

Are RELX Flavors Legal to Buy in the US?

No, not in the sense that matters legally. RELX is not one of the five manufacturers with FDA-authorized e-cigarette products, and RELX Pod has been specifically named in federal enforcement actions targeting illegally imported e-cigarettes.

As of mid-2026, the FDA’s authorized ENDS list covers 45 products from five manufacturers, JUUL, Vuse (tobacco-flavored Alto pods only), NJOY, Logic, and Glas. RELX isn’t among them. In a 2024 joint federal operation seizing more than $18 million in illegal e-cigarettes, the FDA specifically named RELX Pod alongside Elf Bar, Lost Mary, and Funky Republic as unauthorized products imported from China.

This trips people up because RELX’s official global site ships directly to US customers, and the products themselves are authentic RELX hardware, not counterfeits. Authenticity and legal authorization are two different things. A genuine RELX pod is still an unauthorized tobacco product under US federal law if it hasn’t received FDA marketing authorization, and flavored versions specifically face the steepest bar, since the FDA’s public health standard weighs heavily against non-tobacco flavors in ENDS products.

If you specifically want a nicotine vape product with full FDA marketing authorization, your options are currently limited to tobacco or menthol-flavored products from the five authorized manufacturers listed above, not RELX.

Does RELX Sell the Same Flavors Everywhere?

No. RELX’s flavor lineup and nicotine strengths both vary by country, driven by local regulation, not preference.

The UK caps nicotine at 20mg/ml under TPD rules, well below the 50mg strengths common in RELX’s US-facing and Chinese product lines. Flavor availability follows the same pattern: some flavors sold through RELX’s China or Southeast Asia storefronts, including several tea and dessert profiles, aren’t listed on region-specific pages built for stricter markets. If a flavor you’ve seen mentioned online isn’t showing up where you’re shopping, regional restrictions are the most likely reason.

Frequently Asked Questions

What flavors does RELX offer?

RELX splits its flavors across two product lines. The Pod Pro system spans tobacco, menthol, fruit, tea, and dessert profiles, tested across 145 flavors per RELX’s own site. The newer disposable line (Nova, Crystal, Creator, Pocket) runs a separate, smaller catalog leaning into tea and Asian dessert flavors like Ludou Ice and Longjing Ice Tea.

Is RELX legal in the US?

Not in the sense of holding FDA marketing authorization. RELX isn’t among the five manufacturers with authorized e-cigarette products, and RELX Pod has been named in federal seizures of illegally imported e-cigarettes. Authentic RELX products bought online are still legally unauthorized for US sale.

What’s the difference between RELX pods and RELX disposables?

Pods (Pod Pro, Ultra Pod) are cartridges for a rechargeable device you keep. Disposables (Nova, Crystal, Creator, Pocket) are sealed, single-use devices you throw away when the e-liquid or battery runs out. The two lines don’t share flavors or hardware.

Do RELX flavors differ by country?

Yes. Nicotine strength and flavor availability both change based on local rules, the UK’s 20mg/ml cap is a good example of how one region’s regulation reshapes what’s actually for sale there.

What’s RELX’s most popular flavor?

Longjing Ice Tea is the flavor referenced most consistently across RELX retailers and reviewers, particularly for the disposable line. Classic Tobacco and Menthol Plus remain the standard anchor flavors for the pod system.
