Comparison

    Alibarbar Ingot 9000 vs RELX: Disposable vs Pod System

    Written by Jason SmithReviewed by Alibarbar Team

    About RELX

    RELX popularised the closed pod-system format: a reusable, rechargeable device that takes replaceable flavour pods. It's designed for people who want a longer-term device and swap pods rather than replace the whole unit.

    This is a different experience from an all-in-one disposable — more upfront setup, but a reusable body.
