dramatically below the AED 120-180 typical UAE retail price for the standard Infinity 2 across licensed vape shops. That single fact reframes the entire buying decision for anyone considering the RELX ecosystem. This guide walks through what the Infinity 2 actually delivers, how the Plus variant fits alongside it, which pods work with the device (including older RELX Pod Pro compatibility that most reviews don't mention), and what the ongoing cost picture looks like after purchase.
Whether you're upgrading from the Infinity classic, switching from disposable vapes to a pod system, or comparing pod ecosystems at the AED 100-200 tier, the Infinity 2 has genuinely earned its position as one of the most-established closed-pod devices in the UAE market.
RELX Infinity 2 vs Infinity 2 Plus: Which Model Is This?
Two closely related models sit under the "Infinity 2" name in the UAE market:
RELX Infinity 2 — the standard flagship, launched 2023 with 2024 color updates. The reference model that most SERP content and reviews cover. Typical UAE retail price: AED 120-180 across licensed retailers.
RELX Infinity 2 Plus — the enhanced variant, currently stocked at VapeDeals at Dhs. 34.99. Same core platform (three power modes, USB-C fast charging, RELX Pod Pro/Pod Pro 2 compatibility, backward compatibility with older RELX pods), with variations at the Plus tier that may include enhanced battery, additional color options, or refinements over the standard.
For this guide, we cover the Infinity 2 platform as the reference technology — the same core engineering applies to both variants — and note VapeDeals' specific Infinity 2 Plus pricing where relevant. If you're looking specifically at the Plus at VapeDeals' current price, the platform description and pod ecosystem details below all apply directly.
RELX Infinity 2 — Full Specification Deep Dive
Core specifications:
-
Battery: 440mAh, USB Type-C fast charging (~15 minutes to 80% charge; ~27 minutes to full)
-
Weight: 40 grams (genuinely lightweight, easy pocket carry)
-
Power modes: Three selectable modes — Eco, Smooth, Boost
-
Activation: Draw-activated (no buttons to press)
-
Pod compatibility: RELX Pod Pro and Pod Pro 2 (1.9ml pre-filled, closed-system)
-
Puffs per pod: 400-600 puffs (up to 65% more in Eco Mode)
-
Backward compatibility: Works with older RELX Pod Pro devices' pods (rare feature — see below)
-
Colors: Obsidian Black, Blue Bay, Royal Indigo, Red, Green, and other shades depending on availability
The three power modes matter more than they sound. This is where the Infinity 2 outperforms simpler pod devices in the same tier:
-
Eco Mode — extends puff count by up to 65%, delivering a lighter, more sustained vape ideal for extended sessions or when battery life matters most. This is where the Infinity 2 doubles as a genuine all-day device.
-
Smooth Mode — the balanced default. Consistent output, standard flavor delivery, most vapers land here.
-
Boost Mode — increased output for a stronger throat hit and denser vapor production. Best for shorter, more intense sessions or when you want maximum flavor punch.
Being able to shift between these modes throughout the day — Eco during work, Smooth during downtime, Boost for a satisfying evening session — is a genuine feature the Uwell Caliburn G2 and Vaporesso XROS 3 Nano at similar price points don't offer.
The 15-minute fast charging is another practical advantage. Most pod systems charge in 45-90 minutes. Fifteen minutes to 80% means a genuinely quick top-up during a coffee break or lunch is enough to get through the rest of the day. Combined with the 440mAh capacity, the Infinity 2 delivers a full daily runtime without battery anxiety.
Backward Compatibility: Why Existing RELX Users Should Care
Here's a feature that most Infinity 2 reviews skip entirely: the Infinity 2 is compatible with both current RELX Pod Pro 2 AND the older RELX Pod Pro pods from the original Infinity classic device.
This matters for two specific buyer profiles:
Upgrading from RELX Infinity classic. If you've been using the original Infinity and have unused Pod Pro pods left over, they work with the Infinity 2 without any conversion or adapter. You're not throwing away existing pod stock when you upgrade — the same pods just get better performance from the newer device's improved battery and power modes.
Buying at different retailers. Because both pod generations work, you're not locked into buying only Pod Pro 2 packs. If Pod Pro packs are cheaper or more available at a particular retailer, they work equally well with your Infinity 2.
This backward compatibility is a rare positioning choice — most brands lock users into proprietary pods with each new generation to force pod purchases. RELX taking the opposite approach with the Infinity 2 is genuinely user-friendly and rewards long-term brand loyalty.
RELX Pod Pro & Pod Pro 2 Range
The Infinity 2 uses 1.9ml pre-filled closed-system pods — you insert a filled pod, vape until it's empty (typically 400-600 puffs), then replace it with a new pod.
Pod Pro 2 — the current generation. Improved coil design over the original, enhanced flavor delivery and slightly longer pod life. Typical UAE retail price: AED 45-55 per pack.
Pod Pro (original) — the legacy generation. Still fully compatible with the Infinity 2 thanks to backward compatibility. Generally cheaper per pack when available.
VapeDeals pricing on RELX Infinity 2 Pods: Dhs. 29 per pack — meaningfully below the typical AED 45-55 UAE retail range, matching the aggressive pricing on the device itself.
Flavor range across Pod Pro and Pod Pro 2 covers the mainstream UAE preference spectrum: menthol variants (Fresh Red, Ludou Ice, Watermelon), fruit blends (Blueberry Splash, Mango Ice, Passion Fruit), tobacco profiles (Classic Tobacco), and dessert-adjacent options (Vanilla Custard, Cheesecake variants depending on availability).
Pod refill frequency: for moderate daily vapers, a single Pod Pro 2 typically lasts 2-4 days. Heavy vapers may see 1-2 days per pod. Pod life depends significantly on which power mode you use — Eco Mode genuinely extends pod life by 40-65% over Boost Mode.
Price Guide: VapeDeals vs UAE Market Rate
Here's the pricing picture worth understanding before you buy anywhere:
Standard RELX Infinity 2 device at typical UAE licensed retailers: AED 120-180 depending on store and colour availability. Some retailers price closer to AED 220 for premium colors.
RELX Infinity 2 Plus device at VapeDeals: Dhs. 34.99 — approximately 70-80% below the typical market rate.
RELX Infinity 2 Pods at VapeDeals: Dhs. 29 per pack vs typical AED 45-55 at other UAE retailers.
If those VapeDeals prices are current at time of purchase, the total cost of getting into the RELX Infinity 2 Plus ecosystem — device plus initial pods — comes in dramatically below what buying the same experience anywhere else in the UAE would cost. Compared to sourcing an Infinity 2 device (AED 150 average) plus a pod pack (AED 50 average) elsewhere at AED 200 total, the VapeDeals equivalent lands around Dhs. 64 combined — a difference of over 200 dirhams.
Ongoing Cost Picture: What You'll Actually Spend
Beyond the initial device purchase, the ongoing cost picture for the RELX Infinity 2 is straightforward:
Regular Pod Pro 2 packs — at VapeDeals' Dhs. 29 per pack, a moderate daily vaper going through 1-2 packs per week spends roughly Dhs. 125-250 monthly on pods. Heavy daily users may spend Dhs. 300+ monthly. Eco Mode significantly extends pod life and reduces this ongoing cost.
Battery replacement — the Infinity 2's 440mAh battery is designed for the full device lifetime. Under normal charging cycles, expect 1-2 years of daily use before battery performance meaningfully degrades. There's no user-replaceable battery, so when the battery reaches end-of-life, you replace the entire device.
Charging cable — a USB-C cable is typically included with the device. Charging cable replacements are inexpensive if needed later.
The RELX Infinity 2 is a closed-pod system by design — this trades ongoing flavor freedom for guaranteed pod-to-pod consistency and simpler daily use. For vapers who value that trade-off, the ongoing costs are predictable and manageable.
Buying Authentic RELX in the UAE
RELX Infinity 2 is one of the most counterfeited pod devices in the UAE market — the brand's global popularity and premium positioning make counterfeits genuinely profitable. Every authentic RELX device sold in the UAE should carry ECAS certification through MoIAT and include verification codes or holographic markings on the packaging that can be scanned to confirm authenticity via RELX's official system.
Two important checks:
-
Scan the verification code on the packaging using RELX's official authentication method
-
Buy from licensed UAE retailers rather than unofficial resellers, and be wary of pricing that seems abnormally low relative to the current market
At Dhs. 34.99, VapeDeals' Infinity 2 Plus pricing is genuinely low — but as a licensed UAE retailer, that's a legitimate promotional or clearance pricing rather than a counterfeit signal. Verify the RELX authentication on the specific device you receive at purchase to confirm authenticity as with any RELX device from any retailer.

Final Thoughts
The RELX Infinity 2 has genuinely earned its position as one of the UAE's most-established pod systems — three-mode power adjustment, USB-C fast charging, backward compatibility with older RELX pods, and the closed-pod simplicity that suits vapers who want predictable performance without configuration complexity. VapeDeals' current pricing on the Infinity 2 Plus at Dhs. 34.99, combined with Dhs. 29 pod packs, makes this one of the strongest value entries into the RELX ecosystem currently available in the UAE.
