RELX is a leading global e-cigarette and vaping company, recognized as one of the largest in China and a major player worldwide. Founded in 2017 by Kate Wang, RELX Technology focuses on designing and manufacturing innovative vaping devices, prefilled pods, and disposable vapes for adult smokers looking to transition from traditional cigarettes. Headquartered in Beijing, the company operates in over 50 countries and is known for its sleek, user-friendly designs and advanced technology, such as the Super Smooth™ performance standard, developed through extensive R&D involving over 100 scientists. Their product lineup includes pod systems like the RELX Infinity, Essential, and MAXGO series, offering customizable nicotine levels (0% to 20%) and a variety of flavors, from fruity to tobacco-inspired.
RELX emphasizes harm reduction, claiming their products reduce health risks compared to traditional cigarettes by eliminating tar and offering customizable nicotine options. They’ve invested heavily in research, including a bioscience lab in Shenzhen to study vaping’s health effects, and comply with strict regulations like the French AFNOR standard. The company also prioritizes sustainability with rechargeable and refillable devices like the RELX MAXGO 33K and 12K, which aim to reduce waste. RELX has a strong market presence, reportedly holding nearly 70% of China’s pod vape market as of April 2020, and has expanded internationally through RELX International, a separate entity targeting markets like the UK, US, and Southeast Asia.
Kate Wang, the CEO, founded RELX after witnessing her father’s struggle to quit smoking, aiming to create high-quality vaping alternatives. The company went public on the New York Stock Exchange in January 2021, significantly boosting Wang’s net worth, with estimates reaching $24.8 billion at the time, making her one of China’s richest women. RELX has faced regulatory challenges, particularly in China and the US, but continues to innovate with features like leak-resistant coils and child-lock functions, while maintaining a strong distribution network, including a recent partnership with Chill Brands in the UK.
