RELX at VapeShopOnline: Big-Puff Combo Kits from a Closed-Pod Pioneer

RELX occupies an unusual position in the UK vape market. Most brands on our shelves grew up making either e-liquid or disposable hardware, then pivoted when the rules changed. RELX did it the other way round. The company built its reputation on sleek closed-pod systems long before big-puff devices existed, and that engineering-first background shows in the range we stock today. Our RELX collection currently holds 10 products, every one of them priced at £11.99, and every one of them built around the MAXGO Combo 33K platform, a prefilled vape kit rated at 33,000 puffs that pairs two complementary flavours in a single package.

That single price point makes this one of the simplest collections on the site to shop. There is no working out whether the version you want costs more, no premium charged for popular flavours, and no budget tier with cut-down specs. You pick the flavour pairing you like, pay £11.99, and you are done. Better still, the collection runs a standing buy 2 for £22 deal, which trims the effective price to £11 per kit when you stock up in pairs.

Strength options follow the familiar UK pattern: 10mg and 20mg nicotine salt, both fully compliant with TPD rules that cap nicotine at 20mg per millilitre. Flavours across the range cover mixed berries, raspberry, blueberry, cherry, ice, pineapple, apple, lemon, lime, watermelon, strawberry and mint, usually arranged in the twin-flavour pairings that give the Combo its name.

On this page we take the collection apart properly: what the MAXGO Combo actually is, how the two-flavour format works in daily use, how the value maths stacks up against smaller 6000 puff vapes and mid-size 10000 puff devices, which strength suits which vaper, and how RELX compares with the other big names in the prefilled world. Everything ships from UK stock, orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the same day for next-day delivery, and delivery is free on orders over £20, which a single pair of RELX kits clears comfortably.

From Closed Pods to the MAXGO Era: How RELX Got Here

Understanding why the MAXGO Combo feels different from other big-puff kits means understanding where RELX came from. The brand made its name internationally with closed pod systems: slim, rechargeable devices that took prefilled pods and aimed squarely at adults switching from smoking who wanted something that simply worked. No coils to screw in, no bottles to decant, no settings to misconfigure. That philosophy of removing friction is still the spine of everything RELX designs.

When the UK banned single-use disposable vapes, the market split. Some brands rushed out rechargeable versions of their old disposables with the minimum changes the law required. Others treated the ban as a design brief and rebuilt from scratch. RELX sat firmly in the second camp. The MAXGO Combo 33K is not a disposable with a charging port bolted on; it is a pod platform in the tradition of the company's original systems, scaled up for the big-puff era and sold as a complete prefilled kit.

The result is a device that behaves more like a small pod kit than a throwaway bar. You charge it, you swap between flavours, and the rated capacity stretches to 33,000 puffs, which puts it in the top tier of what we sell. For context, our 30000 puff vapes collection gathers the heavyweight class together, and RELX sits comfortably inside it while undercutting plenty of rivals on price.

The brand identity has stayed consistent through the transition. RELX hardware has always favoured understated looks over loud graphics, and the MAXGO continues that: it is a device you can put on a desk in an office without it screaming for attention. Flavour development follows the same restrained logic. Rather than chasing novelty blends, the range concentrates on proven profiles, cherry, mint, watermelon, pineapple, lemon, lime, blueberry and raspberry among them, executed cleanly and paired thoughtfully. For vapers who find the wilder end of the market a bit much, that discipline is precisely the appeal.

It also explains the collection's tight focus. Ten products, one platform, one price. Where a brand like Elf Bar spreads across hundreds of lines, RELX would rather do one thing thoroughly. Whether that focus suits you depends on how you vape, which is exactly what the rest of this page will help you work out.

What Exactly Is the RELX MAXGO Combo 33K?

Strip away the branding and the RELX MAXGO Combo 33K Prefilled Vape Kit is a rechargeable pod system sold as a complete kit with its pods already filled. The 33K in the name refers to the rated puff count: around 33,000 puffs from the kit as supplied, assuming typical draw lengths. The Combo part is the clever bit. Rather than committing you to a single flavour for the life of the kit, each Combo pairs two flavours, so a kit like the Cherry Ice/Blueberry Raspberry version gives you both profiles to move between.

Why does that matter? Ask anyone who has bought a large-capacity device in a single flavour and grown tired of it a third of the way through. Flavour fatigue is real: your palate acclimatises to one profile vaped constantly, and what tasted vivid on day one fades into background noise by week two. Splitting the capacity across two complementary flavours is a direct answer to that problem. Switch between them and each one stays fresher for longer, the same reason seasoned e-liquid users rotate bottles rather than draining one at a time.

The kit is rechargeable, as every legal big-puff device must be since the single-use ban, so the battery tops up over USB while the prefilled pods hold the e-liquid. Nicotine comes as nicotine salt in your choice of 10mg or 20mg, and the liquid itself complies with the TPD framework that governs every product we sell: nothing over 20mg strength, with pod capacities inside the legal limits.

What is in the range

The collection's ten products are all variations on this platform. Highlights include the Cherry Ice/Blueberry Raspberry combo, the Cool Mint/Watermelon Breeze combo and the Pineapple Ice/Lemon Lime combo, each at £11.99. If you prefer to browse the base listing and pick your pairing from there, the standard RELX MAXGO Combo 33K Prefilled Vape Kit page covers the options in one place.

If you have used prefilled pod hardware before, from our wider prefilled pod kits range for instance, the MAXGO will feel immediately familiar: inhale-activated, no buttons, no menus. The difference is scale. This is a kit designed to be your daily device for weeks, not days.

Flavour Pairings Explained: Finding Your Combo

Because every RELX Combo is a two-flavour proposition, choosing one is really choosing a relationship between two profiles. Some pairings are built on contrast, others on kinship. Here is how the range breaks down and who each pairing tends to suit.

Cherry Ice / Blueberry Raspberry

The dark-fruit pairing. Cherry Ice leads with a rich, slightly sharp cherry cooled by a frosty exhale, while Blueberry Raspberry runs sweeter and rounder, all soft berry with no chill. Moving between them is a swing from crisp to cosy, which makes this the combo for vapers who like fruit in all its moods. If berries are your thing generally, our blue raspberry e-liquids collection shows how deep that flavour family goes across other formats.

Cool Mint / Watermelon Breeze

The freshness pairing. Cool Mint is exactly what it promises, clean and brisk with nothing sugary hanging around, while Watermelon Breeze brings a light, juicy sweetness with a gentle cool edge. This is the combo we suggest to former menthol smokers who want one familiar profile and one small adventure. Watermelon fans can explore further in our watermelon e-liquids range once they know the profile suits them.

Pineapple Ice / Lemon Lime

The sharp pairing. Pineapple Ice is tangy tropical fruit under a cold finish; Lemon Lime is pure citrus zip, sweet and sour in balance. Together they suit vapers who find berry blends too soft and want every draw to bite a little. It is arguably the best summer combo in the range.

Across the wider collection you will also find mixed berries, apple, strawberry and straight mint appearing in various pairings, so the ten products cover most of the mainstream flavour map. What you will not find are dessert, custard or tobacco profiles: RELX has kept this platform entirely in fruit and mint territory, where big-puff hardware tends to perform at its best.

A practical tip for first-time buyers: pick a combo where you already love one flavour and merely like the sound of the other. The guaranteed pleaser keeps you satisfied while the second profile earns its place, and most vapers find the flavour they were unsure about becomes the one they reach for by the end of the kit. If you want to compare how these profiles taste in other brands before committing, our ice e-liquids collection is a good reference point for the frosted side of the range.

10mg or 20mg? Picking the Right Strength

Every RELX Combo comes in a choice of 10mg or 20mg nicotine salt, and picking correctly matters more on a 33,000 puff device than on a small one. Get it wrong on a cheap bar and you have wasted a few pounds; get it wrong on a kit designed to last weeks and you will either be vaping constantly without satisfaction or finding the strength harsher than you enjoy for a long time. Here is how to choose with confidence.

Choose 20mg if you are moving across from a regular smoking habit, particularly if you smoked heavily or reached for a cigarette within half an hour of waking. 20mg is the strongest nicotine level legal in the UK under TPD rules, and nicotine salt at this strength delivers quickly and smoothly, which is what makes the switch stick for most adults. It is also the sensible pick if you have vaped 20mg disposables or pods before and found them about right. Most of the prefilled market sells predominantly at this strength, and our 20mg e-liquids collection shows how standard it is across formats.

Choose 10mg if you were a lighter smoker, you find 20mg products leave you slightly buzzy or throaty, or you are deliberately stepping your intake down. Half the strength does not mean half the experience: the flavour and vapour are identical, and the smoothness of nicotine salt means 10mg still satisfies rather than teasing. Vapers who use their device frequently through the day often do better at 10mg than 20mg, because dose adds up across many small sessions. Browse our 10mg e-liquids range and you will see the same logic reflected across hundreds of products.

One honest caveat about big-puff kits and stepping down: because the MAXGO lasts so long, you commit to a strength for the life of the kit. If you are actively reducing, a workable approach is to buy your current strength now and drop to 10mg on your next purchase, using the buy 2 for £22 deal to pair one of each and transition gradually. And a compliance note worth repeating: nothing on this site exceeds 20mg, nothing is sold to anyone under 18, and every product is the genuine, UK-compliant article. That is not marketing, it is the law, and it is also our policy without exception.

The Value Maths: What 33,000 Puffs at £11.99 Really Works Out To

Big numbers on vape packaging can blur together, so let us do the arithmetic properly. A RELX MAXGO Combo 33K costs £11.99 and is rated at 33,000 puffs. Divide it out and you are paying roughly 0.036 pence per puff. Take the buy 2 for £22 deal, which brings each kit to £11, and that figure drops to around 0.033 pence per puff. In plain English: a pound buys you somewhere in the region of three thousand puffs.

Now compare that with the smaller capacity bands, using real starting prices from our own shelves. Devices in our 4000 puff vapes collection start from £2.99, which works out near 0.075 pence per puff at the entry price. The 6000 puff band starts from £3.99, roughly 0.066 pence per puff. Mid-size devices from £3.99 in the 10000 puff class get you to about 0.04 pence. The RELX undercuts all of them on a per-puff basis, and only the very cheapest entries in the 30000 puff class, which starts from £5.99, compete with it at the bottom end.

Per-puff price is not the whole story, though, and we would rather you buy the right kit than the biggest number. Three other factors belong in the calculation.

• Commitment. A 33,000 puff kit is a multi-week relationship with two flavours. If you crave variety weekly, two smaller devices may serve you better even at a higher per-puff cost.
• Up-front outlay. £11.99 buys one RELX or several budget bars. If cash flow matters more than long-run economy, the smaller bands exist for a reason.
• Usage rate. Rated puff counts assume typical short draws. A heavy, long-draw vaper will land under the rating; a light vaper may exceed it. Treat 33,000 as a comparative benchmark, not a promise.

For a heavy daily vaper, the sums are compelling. Two kits for £22 could realistically cover well over a month of vaping, which compares favourably with almost anything else in the shop outside the bulk deals in our vape deals section. And because £22 clears our free delivery threshold of £20, the pair ships to your door at no extra cost.

Who the RELX Range Suits Best

No single vape suits everyone, and the MAXGO Combo has a clear personality. After selling a lot of them, we have a good picture of who ends up delighted and who should probably buy something else. See if you recognise yourself below.

The heavy daily vaper

If your current device empties in a couple of days, the economics of the RELX transform your month. One kit replaces a fistful of small bars, the per-puff cost is among the lowest we sell, and the two-flavour format holds off the boredom that big single-flavour devices induce. This is the core RELX customer.

The adult switching from smoking

RELX built its entire brand around making the transition undemanding, and it shows. No buttons, no refilling, no maintenance, just draw and go, with 20mg nicotine salt available for those who need proper delivery. The polished, unflashy hardware also appeals to switchers who feel self-conscious about brightly coloured devices. If you are brand new, it is worth also looking at our vape starter kits to compare approaches before committing to a big-capacity purchase.

The commuter and traveller

One device that lasts for weeks, charges over USB and slips into a pocket removes the ritual of packing spares. For long trips where buying replacements is inconvenient, a Combo or two covers the whole journey. Remember the liquid inside is TPD-compliant for the UK; rules abroad vary, so check before you fly.

The value hunter

If you shop primarily on cost per puff, the maths in the previous section speaks for itself, especially with the buy 2 for £22 deal applied.

Who should look elsewhere

Flavour butterflies who want a new profile every few days will feel locked in, and would enjoy our broader disposable vapes wall more, where small-capacity rechargeables come in hundreds of flavours. Vapers who prefer refilling with their own e-liquid should head for refillable pod kits instead; the MAXGO is prefilled only. And anyone chasing huge clouds wants open-system hardware, not a closed pod platform tuned for tight, cigarette-like draws.

RELX vs Hayati, Lost Mary and IVG: How the Big Names Compare

The prefilled big-puff market is crowded, and RELX shares our shelves with some formidable competition. Here is an honest comparison with three of the biggest, so you can see exactly what you are trading in each direction.

RELX vs Hayati

Our Hayati collection is the largest brand range in the shop at 721 products, starting from £2.69. Hayati's strategy is saturation: every capacity band, every flavour fashion, every price point. RELX's strategy is the opposite, one platform executed carefully. Choose Hayati when you want maximum choice and low entry prices; choose RELX when you want a single dependable kit with the two-flavour trick and top-tier capacity. On per-puff economics at the big end, the two trade blows, and plenty of our customers keep a foot in both camps.

RELX vs Lost Mary

Lost Mary runs 305 products from £2.89 and has arguably the strongest flavour reputation in the prefilled world, with a huge spread of profiles and formats. Where Lost Mary leans colourful and trend-driven, RELX leans minimal and consistent. If flavour novelty is your priority, Lost Mary wins on sheer breadth. If you want restrained hardware and a capacity that dwarfs most of the Lost Mary line-up, the MAXGO makes its case.

RELX vs IVG

IVG is the interesting middle ground: 540 products from £2.89, spanning e-liquids as well as devices, with a long UK heritage in flavour making. IVG's strength is that its device flavours draw on years of e-liquid craft. RELX counters with hardware pedigree, the combo format and the flat £11.99 price. Vapers who rank taste complexity first often land on IVG; vapers who rank longevity and simplicity first tend to land here.

The honest summary: nobody in the shop offers quite the same package of 33,000 puffs, two flavours per kit and a single sub-£12 price. That specific combination is the reason to pick RELX. If it does not fit how you vape, one of the three above almost certainly will, and all of them qualify for free delivery over £20 just the same.

UK Rules, the Disposable Ban and Why 33K Devices Are Legal

Customers regularly ask how a 33,000 puff device can be legal when the UK has banned disposable vapes. It is a fair question, and the answer is worth understanding because it explains the entire shape of today's market.

The ban that took effect in 2025 targeted single-use vapes: devices that could be neither recharged nor refilled and went in the bin when they died. The law did not ban large capacity, it banned throwaway design. A device that can be recharged and has a replaceable or refillable pod system sits on the right side of the rules regardless of its total puff rating. That is exactly what the MAXGO Combo is: a rechargeable kit whose e-liquid comes in pods, engineered specifically for the post-ban framework. The big-puff category we gather under big puff vapes exists precisely because manufacturers redesigned around these requirements.

Alongside the ban, the older TPD framework still governs everything: nicotine strength is capped at 20mg per millilitre, individual containers of nicotine liquid respect the 2ml limit, and 10ml is the maximum bottle size for separately sold nicotine e-liquid. High puff counts within these rules are achieved through pod systems and efficient hardware rather than one giant illegal tank. Packaging must carry health warnings, products must be notified to the UK regulator before sale, and childproofing standards apply.

Then there is age. Every nicotine product in this shop, RELX included, is strictly 18+. We operate age verification on orders and we support the challenge policies retailers use in person. There is no flexibility here and there never will be.

Why does buying from a compliant UK retailer matter? Because the popularity of big-puff hardware has attracted a grey market of non-compliant imports, some claiming absurd specifications, some skipping notification entirely, and none offering any assurance about what is actually in the liquid. Everything we sell is sourced through legitimate UK channels and is 100% genuine stock. If you ever see a RELX product elsewhere at a price that looks too good to be true, with packaging that lacks UK warnings, that is precisely what it is. Our broader prefilled vape pods and kit ranges follow the same sourcing standards without exception.

Living With a MAXGO: Charging, Storage and Everyday Care

A device built to deliver 33,000 puffs will be in your life for a while, so a little care goes a long way. None of this is complicated, but each habit below protects your £11.99 and keeps the last week of the kit tasting like the first.

Charging habits

The MAXGO recharges over USB, and the golden rule is simple: top up little and often rather than running the battery flat and leaving it dead overnight. Lithium cells live longest when kept away from the extremes of empty and jammed-full. Use a standard low-wattage USB source rather than a high-speed laptop charger brick where possible, and never leave any vape charging unattended on soft furnishings. If the device feels warm after heavy use, let it rest a few minutes before plugging in.

Storage

Heat and direct sunlight are the enemies of both battery and flavour. A car dashboard in summer is the worst place in Britain for a vape; a drawer or bag pocket at room temperature is ideal. Store the device upright where practical, and keep it well away from children and pets at all times, as with every nicotine product.

Getting the best flavour

Draw gently. Closed pod systems are tuned for a relaxed, cigarette-like inhale, and hauling on them aggressively just floods the wick faster than it can feed, muting flavour. Alternate between your two flavours rather than draining one then the other; the contrast keeps both vivid and is half the point of the Combo format. If flavour fades near the very end of the kit's life, that is the natural end of the e-liquid supply, not a fault.

End of life

When the kit is finally spent, do not bin it with household rubbish. Vapes contain lithium batteries that cause fires in refuse lorries and belong at a battery or small electricals recycling point; most supermarkets now host collection bins. Then, if the format served you well, the new arrivals page is where fresh RELX pairings land first, and our sale section is always worth a scan before you reorder.

A Realistic Month with a RELX: What the Puff Rating Means Day to Day

Puff ratings are the most argued-over numbers in vaping, so rather than repeating the headline figure, let us walk through what a 33,000 puff rating translates to in an ordinary British week. The honest answer is that it depends on three things: how often you reach for the device, how long your draws are, and how the two flavours in your combo share the workload.

Start with frequency. A light vaper who takes a handful of short sessions a day, perhaps 150 to 200 puffs in total, is looking at a kit that could plausibly run for months. A moderate vaper in the 300 to 400 puff a day region, which is where many adults who switched from a pack-a-day habit tend to settle, would see somewhere around three months at the low end of that usage and still several weeks at the high end. A genuinely heavy vaper pulling 600 or more puffs daily will get proportionally less, and will also draw longer on each puff, which consumes e-liquid faster than the rating assumes. That is why two heavy vapers can report wildly different lifespans from identical kits, and why we always describe the rating as a comparison tool rather than a promise.

Draw style is the quiet variable. The rating is measured with short, machine-standard puffs. A relaxed two-second draw uses roughly double the liquid of a one-second sip, so a long-draw vaper should mentally halve any rated figure before doing their budgeting. If you know you draw long and deep, the maths still favours the MAXGO over smaller devices, but set your expectations accordingly and you will never feel short-changed.

Then there is the combo effect. Because each kit carries two flavours, most users do not drain them evenly. A common pattern we hear from customers: the fresh profile, a mint or an ice, becomes the daytime workhorse, while the sweeter fruit profile becomes the evening treat. One side of the kit therefore empties first, and the remaining flavour carries the final stretch solo. There is nothing wrong with this, but if you strongly prefer one profile in a pairing, expect the kit's practical life to lean on how fast you burn through your favourite.

What does all this mean for buying decisions? Roughly this: if your last 6000 puff device lasted you a week, a MAXGO should cover you for somewhere around five weeks of the same behaviour, and the buy 2 for £22 pair takes care of most of a season. Keep a note of the date you start a kit and the date it dies. One cycle of real data about your own usage is worth more than any rating on any box, and it turns every future purchase, RELX or otherwise, into simple arithmetic instead of guesswork. It also tells you your true daily spend, which for most MAXGO users lands somewhere between 30p and 50p a day, a figure worth knowing when you compare it with what a smoking habit costs per day at current UK prices.

Ordering RELX from VapeShopOnline: Delivery, Deals and Guarantees

The practical bit, and the reasons to buy your RELX here rather than anywhere else. Every product in the collection is £11.99, and the standing buy 2 for £22 deal applies across the range, so mixing two different combos still triggers the saving. Two kits also carry you past £20, which means free UK delivery on the pair; below that threshold, standard rates apply.

Order before 4pm on a working day and your parcel is dispatched the same day for next-day delivery. That matters more with vapes than most goods, because nobody plans running out. If your current device dies on a Tuesday evening, an order placed Wednesday morning is vaping by Thursday. Stock levels shown on product pages are live, so if a flavour pairing shows as available, it is genuinely on the shelf in our UK warehouse, not on a boat.

Everything we sell is 100% genuine, sourced through authorised UK distribution, TPD-notified and correctly labelled. With counterfeit big-puff devices circulating online, that guarantee is worth more than any discount. We are also strict on age: all sales are 18+ with verification, no exceptions.

A few sensible ways to build an order around the RELX range:

• The pair. Two combos for £22, free delivery, a month or more of vaping sorted for most users. The obvious play.
• The hedge. One RELX kit plus a couple of cheap small-capacity bars from the disposables and rechargeables wall as pocket backups for nights out.
• The household split. Two vapers, two different combos, one delivery. Four flavours between you and the deal still applies.
• The explorer. A RELX alongside picks from another brand you are curious about, say SKE or Elux, both starting under £3, to compare platforms cheaply.
