Most RELX fruit flavors sit in one of three groups: citrus, berry, or tropical. Each group tastes different, and picking the wrong one is the usual reason a new pod disappoints. A pod that looks perfect on the shelf can feel too sharp, too sweet, or too heavy once you use it, and with pre-filled pods you only find out after the pack is open.
This guide is written for adult smokers and nicotine users in the UAE who already know they want a fruit flavor and want to narrow it down. It compares the three groups, shows how cooling changes them, explains why the same flavor name can differ between RELX ranges, and finishes with how to check what is actually available before you order.
How Citrus, Berry, and Tropical RELX Flavors Differ
The quickest way to choose is to match the flavor group to the kind of sweetness you enjoy. Fruits are not one category with small variations. They are three different experiences that share the word fruit.
| Profile | General character | Best if you like |
| Citrus | Sharp, bright, and tangy | Lemonade, lime, or orange drinks |
| Berry | Rounded, sweet with a slight tartness | Berry juices and candy |
| Tropical | Heavy, sweet, and aromatic | Mango, guava, or passion fruit |
These are general profiles based on the fruit itself. Individual pods vary, so treat them as a starting point rather than a promise.
RELX Citrus Flavors
What Citrus Tastes Like
Citrus is the lightest of the three groups. The fruit is acidic, so these pods tend to taste crisp rather than syrupy. Lime and lemon names usually point to the sharpest end, while orange and pomelo are rounder and a little sweeter.
Citrus Names on the Pod Pro 2 Range
On the RELX Pod Pro 2 range, citrus-style names include Pod Pro 2 Lime Sparkle, Orange Sparkle, Pink Lemonade, and RELX Pod Pro 2 Honey Pomelo. Lemon also appears paired with mint as Lemon Mint, which belongs half in this group and half in the cooling category. A name like Pink Lemonade suggests a softened, drink-style take rather than raw sour fruit.
Who Citrus Suits
Citrus suits people who find sweeter taste tiring after a few sessions. If you drink lemonade, sparkling water, or sour sweets, the acidity will feel familiar rather than sharp, and it is often the group that people who normally avoid fruit flavors end up enjoying.
How Citrus Feels Over a Full Pod
Sharpness is the part of citrus most people notice first, and it often stands out most in the opening sessions. As your palate adjusts, the tang usually feels less intense, and the fruit notes become easier to pick out. If a citrus pod feels too sharp on day one, give it a few more sessions before writing it off, and consider a rounder name such as an orange or pomelo version next time instead of switching groups entirely.
RELX Berry Flavors
What Berry Tastes Like
Berry aromas are the most familiar and the easiest starting point. They usually taste sweet first, with a mild sour edge that stops them feeling flat. Blue-colored names such as blueberry and blue raspberry lean sweeter, while red and dark berries such as cranberry or forest berries tend to read tarter.
Berry Names on Pod Pro and Pod Pro 2
Pod Pro 2 names include RELX Pod Pro 2 Blueberry Splash, Blue Raspberry, Strawberry Burst, Forest Berries, Ruby Raspberry and Cranberry Blast. The original Pod Pro range lists RELX Pod Pro Blueberry, Mixed Berries and Pod Pro Strawberry. Single-fruit names point to one clear note, while mixed names layer several and are harder to pin down.
Who Berry Suits
Berry suit anyone who prefers fruit juice, jam, or berry yogurt. It gives sweetness without the heaviness of tropical fruit, which is why it is often the gentlest change for someone moving away from tobacco flavors.
Why Berry Works as a Reference Flavor
Because berry sits between the other two groups, it makes a useful benchmark. After a berry pod, you can tell quickly whether you wanted more sharpness, which points to citrus, or more richness, which points to tropical. That makes a berry pod a low-risk first purchase when you are new to RELX fruit taste or to a range you have not tried before, such as moving from RELX Pod Pro to Pod Pro 2.
RELX Tropical Flavors
What Tropical Tastes Like
Tropical fruit is the sweetest and most aromatic group. Mango, guava, lychee and passion fruit have a heavier, fuller character than citrus or berry, so they tend to feel richer from the first puff. Passion fruit usually reads sharper and more perfumed than mango, and lychee is typically lighter and floral rather than syrupy.
Tropical Names on Pod Pro and Pod Pro 2
Pod Pro 2 also includes RELX Pod Pro 2 Mango, Smooth Mango, Passion Fruit, Pink Guava and Lychee Ice. Blended options such as Strawberry Mango and Fruit Cocktail on the original Pod Pro range sit between berry and tropical. Plain Mango suggests the fruit as it is, while Smooth Mango suggests a softer, creamier version.
Who Tropical Suits
Tropical suits people who like mango lassi, fruit cocktails, or dessert-style drinks and are comfortable with rich, sweet aroma. It can feel heavy over a full pod, so it is better chosen once you know you enjoy sweetness. If you get bored of one flavor quickly, a blended name that mixes groups changes as you go.
How Tropical Holds Up Over Time
Sweetness fatigue is the main thing to watch with tropical pods. Rich, perfumed character can feel wonderful at first and then become cloying if they are the only flavor you use day after day. Many adult users keep tropical as one choice among several rather than the only one, and they pay attention to whether a pod still tastes pleasant halfway through rather than only at the first puff.
Citrus vs Berry vs Tropical: Side-by-Side Comparison
Comparison Table
| Factor | Citrus | Berry | Tropical |
| Sweetness | Lowest | Medium | Highest |
| Sharpness | Highest | Mild to medium | Lowest |
| Body | Light | Medium | Full |
| Aroma | Fresh and zesty | Familiar and fruity | Perfumed and heavy |
| Suits all-day use | Yes, rarely tiring | Yes | Can feel rich over time |
| Easiest first pick | Good | Best | Good |
How to Use the Comparison
If you cannot decide, start with berry. It is the middle option on almost every row, so it is the least likely to feel wrong. Once you know whether berry felt too sweet or too plain, move toward citrus or tropical accordingly.

What Cooling Actually Does
Cooling does not change which fruit you taste. It changes how it feels in your mouth and throat. Names with “ice” or “freeze,” such as RELX Pod Pro 2 Watermelon Ice or Banana Freeze, add a chilled sensation on top of the fruit.
Where Cooling Helps
Cooling can make a very sweet flavor feel less heavy, which is why it works well on tropical and watermelon-style pods. It can also soften a sharp citrus pod and make it easier to use for longer.
Where Cooling Gets in the Way
A strong cooling effect can hide the finer fruit notes. If you want the fruit itself to stand out, pick a version without the cooling suffix.
Why the Same Flavor Name Can Differ Between RELX Ranges
Pod Pro and Pod Pro 2 Are Separate Ranges
An aroma with the same name is not guaranteed to taste identical across products. Pod Pro and Pod Pro 2 are different ranges, and their pods are formulated separately, so a pod called Blueberry on one range and Blueberry Splash on another should not be treated as the same product.
Naming and Strength Differ Too
The original Pod Pro list uses plainer names such as RELX Pod Pro Lemon Mint and Watermelon, while Pod Pro 2 uses more descriptive ones. Nicotine strengths are listed differently as well, with Pod Pro shown at 1.8% and Pod Pro 2 at 3% or 5% on Vape Hype.
Regional Line-ups Vary
Markets can carry different line-ups, so a flavor you saw online or tried abroad may not be sold here. Browse the Pod Pro range and the Pod Pro 2 range separately and read the exact product name before you buy.
Choosing and Trying a RELX Fruit Flavor
Common Mistakes When Choosing
- Choosing by color or fruit name alone. Two pods with the same fruit can taste different once sweeteners, blends, or cooling are added.
- Buying the sweetest option first. Tropical taste impress in the first few puffs but can feel heavy over a full pod.
- Mixing up character and strength. The fruit group does not decide how strong the nicotine is. Strength is set separately on each product, so check it on the listing.
- Assuming a pod fits any device. RELX pods as compatible with devices such as the RELX Infinity 2, RELX Essential and RELX Artisan, but check the product page for your own device.
Tips for Trying a New Flavor
- Try one new flavor at a time, so you know what you are reacting to.
- Use it for a full session, not straight after a strong menthol or tobacco, which can dull your taste.
- Give it a few sessions before deciding, because your sense of taste adjusts.
- Note whether it felt too sweet, too sour, or too cold, and use that to pick the next pod.
- If a pod tastes burnt or off, it may be a fitting or device issue rather than the taste. Our RELX troubleshooting guide covers the common causes.
How to Check RELX Flavor Availability in Dubai and the UAE
Do Not Assume the Global Catalogue Is in Stock
The global RELX catalogue is larger than what any single UAE seller carries, so do not assume an aroma you have read about is stocked locally. Open the seller’s category page, such as the full RELX collection, rather than relying on a list in a review.
What to Confirm Before You Order
Match the exact product name, including the range and the strength, and confirm the pod is compatible with your device. If a taste is not shown, ask the seller directly instead of guessing. Flavor names and ranges change over time, so a list printed here may not match the live page by the time you read it.
How to Read UAE Product Titles
Listing titles carry more information than the character alone. On Vape Hype, a title such as “Relx Pod Pro 2 Blueberry Splash 3%” tells you the range, the flavour, and the nicotine strength, while “RELX Pod Pro Blue Raspberry 18mg” shows the older range with the strength written differently. Reading all three parts before you add a pod to your cart avoids the common mistake of buying the right fruit in the wrong range or strength.
Frequently Asked Questions

They tend to taste tangy rather than sour, though how sharp they feel depends on the specific pod and your own preference.

They are separate ranges with different names and formulations, so the same fruit can taste different between them. Check each range’s product page for the exact line-up.

It changes the sensation more than the fruit itself. Cooling can soften sweetness, but a strong cooling effect can also mask subtle fruit notes.

Conclusion
Choose citrus for a crisp, light finish, berry for a balanced and familiar sweetness, and tropical for a rich, aromatic one.
