RELX Pod Pro 2 and JUUL 2 pods do not fit each other’s devices, so the device you already own decides first. If you are choosing from scratch, RELX Pod Pro 2 holds more liquid (1.9 mL vs 1.2 mL), costs less per mL in the UAE, and comes in far more flavors and three nicotine strengths. JUUL 2 suits vapers who want a short tobacco and menthol lineup at one strength, 18 mg/mL, in a device designed to work only with authentic JUUL 2 pods.
RELX Pod Pro 2 and JUUL 2 pods are two of the most popular prefilled pods in Dubai, and on paper they look alike. Both are closed, ready to use and non-refillable. Once you look closer, they differ on almost everything that affects your daily vaping: which device they fit, how much nicotine they carry, how long a pod lasts and what you pay per mL.
This guide compares the two side by side: compatibility, nicotine strength, capacity, flavors, price per mL and how to avoid fake pods, so you can choose with the facts in front of you.

What Are RELX Pod Pro 2 and JUUL 2 Pods?
Both are sealed, prefilled nicotine salt pods that you click in, use and replace. The real difference is the system around them: RELX Pod Pro 2 is a pod line built for RELX devices, while JUUL 2 is one device paired with one pod type.
RELX Pod Pro 2: Prefilled Pods for RELX Devices
RELX Pod Pro 2 is RELX’s prefilled pod line for its closed-pod devices. Each pod holds 1.9 mL of nicotine salt e-liquid, uses a ceramic FEELM coil and snaps onto the device magnetically. In the UAE it is sold as one pod per pack, and the nicotine strength (1.55%, 3% or 5%) depends on the flavor you pick.
JUUL 2 Pods: Prefilled Pods Made Only for the JUUL 2 Device
JUUL 2 pods are made only for the JUUL 2 device. Each pod holds 1.2 mL of e-liquid at 18 mg/mL, which works out to 21.6 mg of nicotine per pod according to JUUL’s pack information. They are sold in packs of two, and the device recognises each pod when you insert it.
RELX Pod Pro 2 vs JUUL 2: Are They Interchangeable?
No. RELX Pod Pro 2 and JUUL 2 pods have different shapes and connections, and each only works in its own brand’s devices.
Which RELX Devices Support Pod Pro 2?
RELX Pod Pro 2 pods are compatible with the RELX Infinity, Infinity Plus, Infinity 2, Infinity 2 Plus, Essential, Artisan and Artisan Plus. On the RELX Infinity 2, Pod Pro 2 also works with all three power modes: Eco, Smooth and Boost. Our RELX Infinity 2 guide covers the device and its power modes in detail.
Which Device Uses JUUL 2 Pods?
Only the JUUL 2 device. JUUL 2 pods do not fit the original JUUL, and original JUUL pods do not fit the JUUL 2. JUUL also states that the JUUL 2 device is designed to work only with authentic JUUL 2 pods.
Can RELX Pod Pro 2 Fit a JUUL 2 Device?
No. A RELX pod will not physically connect to a JUUL 2, and the JUUL 2 device is designed to function only with authentic JUUL 2 pods.
Can JUUL 2 Pods Fit a RELX Device?
No. JUUL 2 pods are shaped for the JUUL 2 device only and will not seat or fire in any RELX device.
Switching From JUUL 2 to RELX Pod Pro 2: What to Know
If you only own a JUUL 2, switching means buying a compatible RELX device as well as pods, since nothing from your JUUL 2 setup carries over. Before you order, check two things.
- Strength: JUUL 2 pods are all 18 mg/mL (1.8%). RELX Pod Pro 2 comes in 1.55%, 3% or 5%, depending on the flavor, so compare the mg/mL on the box rather than the flavor name.
- Flavor: Use the table below as a starting point. These are similar flavor families, not identical tastes.
| If you like this JUUL 2 flavor | Try this RELX Pod Pro 2 profile |
|---|---|
| Virginia Tobacco or Autumn Tobacco | Classic Tobacco 5% |
| Polar Menthol or Crisp Menthol | Menthol Xtra 5% or Mint Freeze 5% |
| Summer Menthol | Lemon Mint 5% |
| Tropical Medley | Passion Fruit 3% or Smooth Mango 3% |
| Blackcurrant Tobacco | No close RELX match |
Nicotine Strength Compared
RELX Pod Pro 2 comes in 1.55%, 3% or 5% depending on the flavor, while every JUUL 2 pod is 18 mg/mL (1.8%). Converting both to mg/mL makes them easy to compare.
RELX Pod Pro 2 Nicotine Strengths: 1.55%, 3% and 5%
- 1.55%: Green Melon
- 3%: flavors such as Watermelon Ice, Thai Milk Tea and Dark Sparkle
- 5%: flavors such as Classic Tobacco, Menthol Xtra and Mint Freeze
The strength is shown in every product name, so you always know which version you are buying.
JUUL 2 Nicotine Strength: One Option at 18 mg/mL
JUUL 2 pods come in one strength, 18 mg/mL (1.8%), across the whole flavor range. Your choice comes down to flavor alone.
How to Convert Nicotine Percentage to mg/mL
For these products, 1% equals about 10 mg/mL.
| Label | Approximate mg/mL |
|---|---|
| 1.55% (RELX Pod Pro 2) | about 15.5 mg/mL |
| 1.8% (JUUL 2) | 18 mg/mL |
| 3% (RELX Pod Pro 2) | about 30 mg/mL |
| 5% (RELX Pod Pro 2) | about 50 mg/mL |
Nicotine Concentration vs Total Nicotine per Pod
Concentration tells you how much nicotine is in each mL. Total nicotine is that figure multiplied by the pod’s capacity. A JUUL 2 pod holds 18 mg/mL × 1.2 mL = 21.6 mg. A RELX Pod Pro 2 holds more liquid, so it contains more nicotine in the e-liquid at every strength, even 1.55% (about 29 mg). These figures describe nicotine in the e-liquid, not the amount your body absorbs. A higher number is not better or worse, just different, so choose the strength that matches what you already use.
Capacity, Puff Count and How Long a Pod Lasts
A RELX Pod Pro 2 holds about 58% more e-liquid than a JUUL 2 pod, so for the same vaping habits it lasts longer.
E-Liquid Capacity: 1.9 mL vs 1.2 mL
RELX Pod Pro 2 holds 1.9 mL per pod and JUUL 2 holds 1.2 mL. Capacity is the most reliable way to compare the two, because it is printed by both brands and doesn’t depend on how anyone vapes.
Advertised Puff Count: 650 vs 200 per Pod
RELX advertises up to about 650 puffs per Pod Pro 2, and a JUUL 2 pod is rated at about 200 puffs, or about 400 for a pack of two. Both are estimates that change with how long and how often you puff.
Which Pod Lasts Longer in Daily Use?
Pod for pod, RELX Pod Pro 2 holds more e-liquid, so it gives more use between pod changes. How many days a pod lasts you depends on:
- how long and how often you puff
- the power mode, since Boost on the Infinity 2 uses liquid faster than Eco
- heat, as warm conditions thin the e-liquid and can cause leaks
In UAE summers, keep pods out of cars and direct sun. Our guide to why RELX pods leak explains what to do if it happens.
Flavor Comparison

Which Pod Has More Flavor Variety?
RELX Pod Pro 2, by a wide margin, especially for fruit, tea and sparkling flavors that JUUL 2 doesn’t offer at all. JUUL 2 is the stronger choice for tobacco fans, with three tobacco flavors against RELX’s one, and five menthol options against RELX’s three.

Price and Value in the UAE
At current UAE prices, RELX Pod Pro 2 costs about 43% less per mL of e-liquid than JUUL 2.
RELX Pod Pro 2 and JUUL 2 Pod Prices in the UAE
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| RELX Pod Pro 2, 1 pod | AED 25 |
| JUUL 2 Pods, pack of 2 | AED 55 |
Cost per 10 mL of E-Liquid
Comparing per 10 mL shows what you’d spend for the same amount of liquid, whatever your vaping habits.
| RELX Pod Pro 2 | JUUL 2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Pods needed for 10 mL | about 5.3 | about 8.3 |
| Cost for 10 mL | about AED 132 | about AED 229 |
Which Pod Offers Better Value for Money?
On liquid per dirham, RELX Pod Pro 2 is the clear winner. Value also depends on whether you’ll use the product, though: if your favourite flavor is a JUUL 2 tobacco, or you already own a JUUL 2, buying JUUL 2 pods is the better spend. If you’re starting from zero, add the device price to a month of pods for each brand before you decide.
Availability and Authenticity in the UAE
Both ranges are available with 1-hour delivery in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman and 12-hour delivery to Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Umm Al Quwain and Ras Al Khaimah. Delivery is free on orders over AED 450, and you can pay by cash or card on delivery.
Finding Replacement Pods When Your Flavor Runs Out
The pod you choose is only useful if you can keep buying it. Individual flavors on both brands go in and out of stock, but RELX’s larger range makes it easier to find a close substitute when your usual flavor runs out. With JUUL 2, a missing menthol is easy to replace; a missing tobacco flavor has only two alternatives.
How to Spot Genuine RELX and JUUL 2 Pods
JUUL 2 The device is designed to work only with authentic JUUL 2 pods, which gives JUUL 2 users an advantage when it comes to avoiding fakes.
RELX Counterfeit RELX pods do circulate in the UAE, and RELX devices are not described as working only with authentic pods in the way JUUL 2 is. Buy from an established retailer, check that the packaging is sealed and the print is sharp, and use the verification code on the pack where one is printed. Our guide on how to spot fake RELX pods walks through each check.
Which Should You Choose?
Start with the device you own; if you own neither, choose by the priority that matters most to you.
- If You Already Own a RELX Device now ends with “You’ll find pods and devices together in our RELX Dubai range.”
- If You Already Own a JUUL 2 Device now ends with “Pods and devices are all in our JUUL Dubai range.”
If You Own Neither Device
| Your priority | Better fit |
|---|---|
| Lowest cost per mL | RELX Pod Pro 2 |
| Widest flavor range | RELX Pod Pro 2 |
| A choice of strengths, 1.55%, 3% or 5% | RELX Pod Pro 2 |
| Fruit, tea or sparkling flavors | RELX Pod Pro 2 |
| Several tobacco flavors | JUUL 2 |
| One fixed strength, 18 mg/mL | JUUL 2 |
| A device designed to work only with authentic pods | JUUL 2 |
Then compare the full starting cost: the device plus about a month of the pods you’d actually use.

Final Verdict
If you own a compatible RELX device, buy RELX Pod Pro 2. If you own a JUUL 2, buy JUUL 2 pods, since nothing else fits. If you own neither, RELX Pod Pro 2 is the better all-round choice for most UAE vapers: more liquid per pod, about 43% lower cost per mL, three strengths and a much wider flavor range.
JUUL 2 earns its place if you want several tobacco flavors, one fixed 18 mg/mL strength and a device designed to work only with authentic pods.
