RELX Ultra Refill Pods Sunrise Lemon Lime: what you are buying

RELX Ultra Refill Pods in Sunrise Lemon Lime are pre-filled replacement pods for the matching RELX pod device. Instead of buying a whole new device every time the liquid runs out, you keep the battery unit you already own and swap in a fresh pod. That is the whole idea behind a closed-pod system: the e-liquid, the heating element and the mouthpiece are sealed together in a single cartridge, and you click it in, vape it down and replace it.

Sunrise Lemon Lime is a citrus flavour built around two familiar fruits. Expect lemon and lime working together with a sweet-and-sour edge rather than a harsh, acidic one. It sits in the fruity, non-menthol part of the range, which makes it a sensible choice for anyone who wants something lighter than a dessert or tobacco profile without committing to a heavy cooling effect.

This page walks through what the pods are, how they are likely to perform day to day, how they compare with other options sold in the UK, and what to do when something goes wrong. Where a figure is an estimate rather than a published number, we say so, because puff counts and battery life always depend on how you vape.

• Format: sealed, pre-filled refill pod for a RELX pod device, not a standalone vape.
• Flavour: Sunrise Lemon Lime, a fruity citrus profile.
• Nicotine: nicotine salt e-liquid, with strength options shown on the product listing.
• Who it is for: adult smokers and existing vapers who already own, or plan to buy, a compatible RELX device.
• Age restriction: 18+ only, in line with UK law, and age checks apply at purchase and on delivery.

One important point up front: these are refill pods, not a device. If you do not already own a compatible RELX battery unit, the pods will not work on their own. Check that the generation of your device matches the pod before ordering, because pods from different product generations are not always interchangeable even when they look similar.

Specifications at a glance

Brands do not always publish every figure, so the list below separates what is standard for this type of pod from what is an estimate. Treat the estimates as a guide for planning purchases rather than a promise.

• Product type: closed refill pod, pre-filled with nicotine salt e-liquid.
• E-liquid capacity: up to 2ml. That is the maximum tank or pod size allowed for nicotine vaping products sold in the UK, and most pods in this class are built to sit at or just under it.
• Nicotine strength: UK law caps nicotine e-liquid at 20mg/ml (2%). Pods in this category are commonly offered at 20mg/ml and a lower option such as 10mg/ml. Use the strength selector on the listing to see exactly what is in stock.
• Heating element: a ceramic-based heating element built into the pod rather than a traditional cotton-and-wire coil.
• Estimated puffs per pod: roughly 300 to 500 puffs, depending on draw length and frequency. That figure is our estimate for a 2ml nicotine salt pod, not a manufacturer guarantee.
• Activation: draw-activated, so there is no button to press.
• Device battery: lives in the device, not the pod. Compact pod devices of this type typically carry batteries somewhere in the 350 to 500 mAh range, which we explain in the battery section below.
• Pack size: pod packs from this brand are usually sold as multipacks. The exact count is shown on the listing, so check it before comparing prices with a single-pod product.

Why list capacity and nicotine limits so prominently? Because they shape everything else. A 2ml pod holds a fixed amount of liquid, so the number of puffs you get is tied to how much liquid each puff vaporises. A lower-wattage ceramic pod uses liquid slowly and steadily, which is why a single pod tends to last longer than people who are new to pod systems expect.

If you are used to open refillable tanks where you pour in as much liquid as you like, the closed format will feel more restrictive in capacity but far tidier in use. There is no bottle, no spillage and no priming ritual beyond a short wait after fitting a new pod.

Flavour profile: how Sunrise Lemon Lime tastes

Lemon and lime are close cousins, but they are not the same flavour, and the pairing works because each covers a gap in the other. Lemon brings the bright, zesty top note; lime adds a slightly greener, sharper and more bitter-edged citrus core. Together they land closer to a lemon-lime soft drink or a citrus sherbet than to a fresh-squeezed fruit juice.

On the inhale you should get the zesty lemon first, with a gentle sweetness that takes the edge off the sourness. Mid-draw, the lime shows up as a slightly tangier layer. On the exhale the flavour rounds out into a lightly sweet citrus finish that fades fairly quickly, which is typical for fruit profiles. There is no heavy cream, custard or dessert base, so the flavour stays clean and the aftertaste is light.

A few practical notes on what to expect:

• Sweetness: moderate. Sweet enough to take the bite off the citrus, not so sweet that it coats your tongue.
• Sourness: noticeable but rounded. This is not a sour-candy profile that makes you wince.
• Cooling: the name does not suggest menthol, so do not expect an icy finish. If you want a cold hit, look for the dedicated ice or menthol variants in the range.
• Throat hit: light to moderate, mostly set by the nicotine strength you choose rather than by the flavouring.
• Aftertaste: short and clean, which suits all-day vaping better than a sticky dessert profile.

Citrus flavours tend to feel brightest on the first few days of a pod and a touch softer as the liquid level drops. That is a normal feature of how fruit flavouring behaves in a heated, sealed pod, not necessarily a fault. If you find fruit flavours fade on you quickly, rinsing your palate with water between sessions helps, and so does avoiding vaping straight after coffee or mint, both of which dull your perception of citrus.

If you like lemonade, lemon sherbet or lemon-lime fizzy drinks, this is the sort of profile that should feel familiar. If you prefer tobacco, creamy desserts or heavy berry blends, a different flavour in the range will probably suit you better.

Performance and puff delivery

Pod systems of this type are designed around a mouth-to-lung style of vaping. That means you draw the vapour into your mouth first, pause briefly, then inhale. It mimics how many smokers draw on a cigarette, and it is why these devices suit people who are switching from smoking rather than people chasing big clouds.

The draw is activated by airflow, so you just inhale on the mouthpiece. Vapour production is modest rather than dramatic, and the throat hit comes mainly from the nicotine salt formulation. Nicotine salts are absorbed more smoothly than traditional freebase nicotine, so a 20mg/ml salt pod feels gentler on the throat than a 20mg/ml freebase liquid would, while still delivering nicotine quickly enough to help with cravings.

How long a pod lasts depends on how often you draw and how long each draw is. As a worked example, if a 2ml pod gives about 400 puffs and you take roughly 150 puffs a day, one pod lasts around two and a half days. A lighter user taking 60 puffs a day could stretch the same pod to about a week, while someone who vapes constantly through the day could get through a pod in a single day.

• Light use (under 80 puffs a day): roughly five to seven days per pod.
• Moderate use (100 to 200 puffs a day): roughly two to four days per pod.
• Heavy use (300 or more puffs a day): around one day per pod.

These ranges are planning estimates. Real life varies, so track your own usage for the first couple of pods and adjust how many multipacks you keep in stock.

Consistency is where closed pods earn their keep. Because the liquid, wicking and heating element are matched at the factory, you are not troubleshooting coil builds or guessing liquid ratios. Draw number one and draw number three hundred should feel broadly similar, with a slight drop-off in flavour intensity as the pod empties.

One thing to be aware of is chain vaping. Taking draws back to back without a pause does not give the wick time to re-saturate, which can lead to a hot, slightly burnt taste near the end of a pod. Spacing out your draws by a few seconds keeps the flavour clean and extends pod life.

Design and build quality

A refill pod is a simple object, but small design details decide whether it is a pleasure or a nuisance to live with. The pod is a compact sealed cartridge that clicks into the top of the device. The liquid reservoir, the heating element and the mouthpiece are all part of the same moulded unit, and the connection to the device is made through contacts at the base, so there are no threads to cross-tighten and no parts to lose.

The pods are sealed at the factory, and there is no user-accessible fill port. That is deliberate. It keeps the pack tamper-resistant, reduces spill risk, and means the liquid you vape is the liquid that was filled at the factory. It also means you should not try to prise a pod open and refill it. Doing so can damage the seal, cause leaks, invite air into the wicking system and may void any warranty on the product.

• Fit: the pod should seat firmly with a distinct click. If it feels loose or wobbles, remove it and re-seat it before using it.
• Mouthpiece: slim and rounded, comfortable between the lips and easy to wipe clean with a dry cloth.
• Material: a lightweight plastic body, which keeps the whole set-up light for a jacket pocket but means it should be kept away from heat sources.
• Leak resistance: sealed liquid chambers and an internal air path help limit leaking, but any pod can seep if stored on its side in a warm bag or pressed under other items.
• Liquid visibility: check the listing images to see how easily you can read the remaining liquid level, since that varies between pod generations.

Build quality in this category is judged less by dramatic features and more by whether a pod works reliably straight out of the packet. Pods that fit snugly, prime quickly and do not leak in a pocket are the ones that people reorder. That is the standard these refill pods are aiming to meet.

When you open a multipack, give each pod a quick visual check. Look for cracks in the casing, visible liquid around the base contacts or a damaged seal on the air inlet. If you spot any of these, do not use the pod and contact the seller, as set out on the returns policy. A faulty pod is a small problem to fix at the point of delivery and a bigger one if it leaks into your device.

Device battery and charging

The refill pod itself has no battery. Power comes from the device that the pod clicks into, so battery life and charging behaviour are properties of your RELX device, not of the pods. That said, the pod and battery work as a pair, so it helps to understand the numbers.

Compact pod devices of this type typically carry batteries in the range of roughly 350 to 500 mAh. That is small by disposable-vape standards, where large built-in cells are common, but it is matched to a low-power, ceramic-heated pod that does not need much energy per puff. Because the power demand is low, a charge usually gets you through a good part of a day of moderate use.

As a rough planning guide, one full charge often covers somewhere between one and two pods of vaping, but that depends on the exact device generation, how old the battery is and how you draw. Treat this as an estimate and check the manual that came with your device for specifics.

• Charge before it dies: top up when the indicator light shows low battery, rather than running the device flat every time. Lithium cells last longer when they are not repeatedly fully drained.
• Use a decent cable and charger: a standard 5V USB source is fine. Avoid cheap unbranded chargers with no safety markings.
• Do not leave it charging unattended overnight: as with any small lithium device, charge where you can see it and not under a pillow or on soft furnishings.
• Keep it cool: do not leave the device on a car dashboard or in direct sun, since heat degrades the battery and can make a pod leak.
• Check the port: if the device will not charge, check for lint or dust in the charging port before assuming the battery has failed.

Because the battery is separate from the pod, replacing pods does not reset the battery life of your device. Over a long period the battery will gradually hold less charge, which is a normal property of lithium cells. When the device battery noticeably declines, you may find it is time to replace the device rather than the pods.

If the pod is correctly fitted, the device is charged and nothing happens when you draw, see the troubleshooting section below. In most cases it comes down to a loose pod, a flat battery or a pod that needs a minute to prime.

Heating element and coil technology

The part that actually turns liquid into vapour is the heating element, and this is where pod systems differ most from older vaping hardware. These refill pods use a ceramic-based heating element rather than a traditional cotton wick wrapped with a metal wire coil. Ceramic wicking is made of a porous material that holds e-liquid in its structure and heats evenly when current passes through the element.

There are three main heating technologies you will come across in the UK market, and it helps to know where this one sits among them.

• Cotton and wire coils: the traditional approach. Cheap, easy to manufacture, and capable of strong flavour, but cotton can burn if it dries out and the wire can develop residue over time.
• Mesh coils: a flat metal mesh in place of a round wire. Large heating surface area, fast ramp-up, and generally higher vapour output. Common in larger disposables and open pod kits.
• Ceramic elements: a porous ceramic body that is heated evenly. Known for clean, consistent flavour and a smoother, lower-temperature vaping experience, with less risk of a burnt taste if used normally.

The trade-off with ceramic is vapour volume. Ceramic elements are usually designed for lower-wattage operation, so you get less cloud than a mesh pod would deliver. For a mouth-to-lung nicotine salt user that is rarely a disadvantage, because the goal is nicotine delivery and flavour rather than volume.

Resistance in closed pod elements of this type usually sits at around 1 to 1.5 ohms, though the exact value is set by the manufacturer and matched to the device output. That pairing matters: the device supplies a fixed power profile, and the pod is built to work with it. Using a pod designed for a different device generation can lead to weak vapour or a harsh draw.

To get the best out of the element, prime it properly. After clicking in a new pod, wait two to three minutes so the ceramic has time to absorb liquid fully. Then take a few gentle, short draws before settling into your normal pattern. Skipping this step is the most common reason a brand new pod tastes dry or burnt on the first few puffs.

Nicotine strength guidance and UK rules

Choosing the right nicotine strength matters more than most people expect. Too low and you will keep reaching for the device and still feel unsatisfied. Too high and you may feel lightheaded, queasy or jittery. The aim is to pick the lowest strength that stops you wanting to smoke.

Here is how the UK rules shape your options. Nicotine e-liquid sold in the UK is capped at 20mg/ml, which is 2%. That cap applies across nicotine vaping products, including pods and the single-use devices that were previously sold. Single-use disposable vapes have also been banned from sale in Great Britain since 1 June 2025, which is one reason closed refill pods have become a more common route for people who liked the simplicity of disposables. A refill pod is not a disposable because the device it fits is reusable. Pod and tank capacity is also limited to 2ml.

• 20mg/ml: generally the choice for people coming off a regular smoking habit, for example those who smoked around a pack a day or more, or who are switching from stronger tobacco. Nicotine salts make this strength smoother than it would be in a freebase liquid.
• 10mg/ml: a sensible option for lighter or social smokers, for people already part way through reducing their intake, or for existing vapers who find 20mg too strong.
• Lower than 10mg/ml: if offered, suited to people who want to cut down further as part of a stepped reduction plan.

Signs your strength may be too high include dizziness, nausea, headache, a racing heart or a very harsh throat hit. If you notice these, stop, rest, and drop down a strength next time. Signs it may be too low include constant cravings, chain vaping and still wanting a cigarette.

If you do not smoke, you should not start vaping. Nicotine is addictive, and vaping is intended as a tool for adult smokers who want an alternative. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a heart condition or take regular medication, speak to a GP or pharmacist before using any nicotine product. The NHS also runs free local stop smoking services that can be combined with vaping to improve your chances of quitting.

Always check the strength printed on the pod packaging when it arrives. Strength options vary by stock, and the product listing is the source of truth for what you are ordering.

Who these pods suit, and who should skip them

Every product has an ideal user and a user who will be happier elsewhere. Being honest about that saves money and frustration.

These refill pods are a good fit for:

• Adult smokers switching to vaping: the mouth-to-lung draw and smooth nicotine salt hit feel closer to smoking than a high-powered cloud device does.
• Existing RELX device owners: if you already have the matching device, pods are the simplest way to keep using it with a flavour you enjoy.
• People who like simplicity: no coils to change, no liquid to pour, no settings to adjust.
• Fruit and citrus fans: anyone who prefers a clean, bright fruit flavour over dessert or tobacco profiles.
• People who want discreet vaping: low vapour output and a compact device make it practical in situations where large clouds would be unwelcome, subject to local rules about where vaping is allowed.
• People moving on from disposables: the click-in format keeps the convenience while letting you reuse the battery unit.

You may want to look elsewhere if:

• You are under 18: it is illegal to sell nicotine vaping products to anyone under 18 in the UK, and age verification applies on this site and on delivery.
• You have never smoked: vaping is not recommended for non-smokers, and nicotine is addictive.
• You want big clouds: a ceramic pod device is not designed for sub-ohm style vapour production. A mesh-based or open system suits that better.
• You want to choose your own e-liquid: closed pods lock you into the flavours and strengths on offer. Refillable systems give you more freedom.
• You do not own a compatible device: the pods will not work on their own, and they are not a starter kit.
• You are sensitive to nicotine, pregnant, or have a medical condition: speak to a healthcare professional first.

If you sit somewhere in the middle, for instance you are a heavy smoker who wants more vapour, think about whether a more powerful kit would serve you better. Matching the hardware to your habits matters more than picking a particular flavour.

How to fit, use, store and dispose of the pods

Using a refill pod is straightforward, but a few good habits make the pods last longer and avoid common problems. Follow this sequence for a trouble-free start.

• Step 1, check the pod: inspect the casing and base for cracks, leaks or a damaged seal before fitting it.
• Step 2, remove any protective cap or film: take off any packaging seal over the mouthpiece or air inlet as instructed on the pack.
• Step 3, click it in: push the pod straight into the device until it seats with a click. Do not twist or force it.
• Step 4, wait: leave the pod for two to three minutes so the heating element can prime fully.
• Step 5, take a gentle first few draws: short, smooth puffs, then settle into a normal rhythm.
• Step 6, pace yourself: leave a few seconds between draws instead of chain vaping.

Storage matters more than you might think. Keep pods upright, in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight. A hot car in summer is one of the quickest ways to cause leaks. If you carry spare pods, keep them in their original packaging or a small case so they are not pressed against keys or coins.

Keep all vaping products and nicotine pods out of reach of children and pets. Nicotine is toxic if swallowed or if liquid gets on skin, so if there is any spill, wash the area with water and avoid touching your eyes.

When a pod is finished, do not throw it in the household bin or the kerbside recycling. Used pods contain small electrical components and residual liquid, so they belong in the waste electrical stream. In the UK, many vape shops and larger retailers operate take-back points, and household waste recycling centres accept small electricals. You can search for a nearby drop-off using a postcode locator such as the Recycle Your Electricals service. Never put pods or devices in general waste where crushing in a refuse lorry can create a fire risk.

If you are switching flavours, simply remove the old pod and click in the new one. There is no need to clean the device between flavours, though wiping the contacts with a dry cloth now and then keeps the connection reliable.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most issues with closed pod systems come down to a handful of causes, and the majority can be fixed in a minute or two. Work through the list below before assuming a pod is faulty.

• No vapour, nothing happens when you draw: first check the pod is seated fully by removing it and clicking it back in. Then confirm the device has charge. If the indicator is dead, charge the battery for a while and try again. If both are fine, the pod may need priming time.
• Weak flavour or thin vapour: a new pod that has not been primed will taste weak. Wait a few minutes and take a couple of gentle draws. If the pod is nearly empty, flavour naturally fades and it is time to swap.
• Burnt or harsh taste: usually caused by chain vaping, a low liquid level or a pod that was not primed. Rest the device for a few minutes. If the taste persists, replace the pod and avoid long, rapid draws.
• Gurgling or spitting: can be caused by condensation in the airflow path. Gently blow through the mouthpiece away from your face, or wipe the mouthpiece and re-seat the pod.
• Leaking from the pod or base: stored on its side, exposed to heat or damaged in transit. Wipe the pod and device contacts dry with a cloth. If liquid keeps escaping, stop using that pod and contact the seller with a photo and your order details.
• Device lights flashing or no recognition of the pod: flashing patterns differ between device generations, so check your manual. Common causes are a dirty contact, a loose pod or an incompatible pod.
• Device will not charge: try a different cable and a different power source. Look for lint in the port. If it still will not charge, the battery or port may be at fault and the device may be eligible for a warranty check.
• Sore throat or tight chest: reduce your nicotine strength, take smaller puffs and drink water. If symptoms persist, stop and seek medical advice.

If none of these steps fix the problem, keep the pod and the packaging and get in touch with the retailer. Photos of the issue speed up the process considerably. Refunds or replacements for genuinely faulty items are covered by consumer law, which is covered in the returns and warranty FAQ below.

It is worth remembering that a pod problem is not always a pod fault. A loose connection, a flat battery or a hot pocket are far more common culprits than a manufacturing defect.

Value for money and honest comparisons

Value is not just the price on the label. It is what you pay per day of use, and what you give up in exchange for convenience. A multipack of refill pods looks more expensive up front than a single disposable once did, but because each pod can last several days for a moderate user, the cost per day of use often works out lower than people expect. Compare any multipack by dividing the price by the number of pods, then dividing again by how many days you expect each pod to last.

For smokers, there is a bigger comparison to make. Vaping typically costs a fraction of what a daily cigarette habit costs in the UK, and that saving builds quickly over a month.

Here is how this style of pod compares with other options that are commonly sold in the UK:

• Versus other closed-pod systems such as Vuse ePod: both use sealed pods with nicotine salts and a simple click-in experience. Choice often comes down to which flavour range and which device feels better in your hand, plus how easy pods are to find locally. Neither is inherently better for everyone.
• Versus refillable pod kits such as the OXVA Xlim or SMOK Novo families: open systems let you fill your own e-liquid, which usually costs less per ml and gives you thousands of flavour choices. The trade-off is more handling, more potential for spills and more things to maintain. A closed pod wins on simplicity, an open kit wins on running cost and variety.
• Versus mesh-based larger kits: these deliver more vapour and often stronger flavour, but they use more battery and liquid and suit people who prefer a looser, cloud-focused draw. A ceramic pod is gentler and more discreet.
• Versus disposables: single-use vapes are no longer legal to sell in Great Britain. Refill pods give a similar plug-and-play feel while the device is reused, which reduces waste when pods are recycled properly.

Honest limitations are worth stating too. You are tied to one device ecosystem, so if the manufacturer changes pod designs your device may eventually become harder to supply. The flavour range is fixed. And a closed pod will never be as cheap per ml as bottled e-liquid in a refillable tank.

Where these pods make sense is for people who value consistency and ease: you get the same experience each time, with a flavour many adults find easy to live with day after day. Buy from a UK retailer that checks age on delivery, keep your order in sealed original packaging, and recycle used pods at an electricals drop-off point. Do that, and Sunrise Lemon Lime is a straightforward, low-fuss citrus option for adult smokers who want an alternative.
