2026 Aussie Travel Vape: iGET One vs RELX Pods for Beginners

Travel Vaping in 2026: Two Very Different Paths

Australian travellers face a unique challenge: balancing convenience, battery regulations, and enough e-liquid to last a holiday. The two most popular choices are the IGET One 12000 (high-capacity disposable with LED screen) and the RELX Pod System (rechargeable device with pre-filled closed pods). [1].

From October 2025, therapeutic vapes with ≤20mg/mL nicotine became available over‑the‑counter at pharmacies, while higher strengths still require a prescription [4]. All products featured here contain 5% (50mg) nicotine – always carry your prescription if flying internationally, and check local laws.

Head‑to‑Head: IGET One 12000 vs RELX Pods

Let's break down the specs that matter when you're packing light [2][3].

Feature	iGET One 12000	RELX Pod System
Type	Disposable (non‑rechargeable battery, single unit)	Closed pod system (rechargeable device + replaceable pods)
Puff count	Up to 12,000 puffs (Standard mode) / 9,000 (Turbo mode) [2]	~650 puffs per pod
Nicotine strength	5% (50 mg/ml) salt nicotine	3% or 5% options available
E‑liquid capacity	18 ml pre‑filled	1.9 ml per pod
Battery	2700 mAh non‑rechargeable [2]	380–440 mAh rechargeable (device lasts years)
Tech features	LED screen, Turbo mode, dual mesh coil 0.6Ω	Draw‑activated, magnetic pods, consistent output
Weight	~118 g [7]	Device ~30 g + pod ~6 g
Best travel scenario	2‑week trip, no access to charging, minimal luggage	Multi‑week travel, carry pods, charge via USB‑C

The IGET One is a true “grab‑and‑go” companion – you don't need to pack cables or worry about charging. Its 2700 mAh battery lasts the entire 18 ml of e‑liquid [6]. In contrast, the RELX device is tiny and requires a USB‑C charger (same as most phones), but you'll need to carry enough pods for your trip.

IGET One 12000: The All‑in‑One Travel Tank

With a massive 18 ml pre‑fill and 2700 mAh battery, the IGET One is designed for travellers who want zero maintenance. It features a 0.6Ω dual mesh coil and a switchable Turbo mode that increases vapour and throat hit (at the cost of ~3,000 puffs) [2]. The integrated LED screen shows remaining battery and e‑liquid – no more guesswork mid‑flight [7].

Australian frequent flyer Sarah N. from Brisbane says: “I take the IGET One on FIFO swings. No charger, no pods, just 12,000 puffs in my pocket. The Turbo mode is great for wind‑down after shift.” [6]

What about airline rules?

Lithium batteries must be carried in cabin baggage. The IGET One's 2700 mAh battery (2.7 Wh) is well under the 100 Wh limit [6]. However, because it's non‑rechargeable, you must dispose of it responsibly at your destination – never bin lithium batteries.

RELX Pod System: The Lightweight Modular Traveller

If you're travelling for more than two weeks or like switching flavours, RELX pods are the smarter choice. The device itself is featherlight (≈30 g) and charges fully in 35–45 minutes via USB‑C [3]. Each pod delivers roughly 650 puffs – a pack of 10 pods gives you ~6,500 puffs, similar to the IGET One, but you can mix flavours and never run out of battery as long as you have a power bank.

Closed pod systems are recommended by the RACGP for smoking cessation because the nicotine concentration is controlled and tamper‑proof [1]. All RELX pods sold at gdayvape.com are genuine, with batch tracking and TGA compliance.

Packing tip for RELX travellers

Pods are pressurised – store them upright in a sealed bag to avoid minor leakage during altitude changes. The device can be left on charge overnight safely (overcharge protection).

Which Travel Vape Should You Choose?

Base your decision on trip length and charging access:

Frequently Asked Questions (Travel Edition)

Can I take IGET One or RELX on a plane?

Yes, but strictly in carry‑on luggage. Checked baggage prohibits lithium batteries. The IGET One's 2700 mAh is well within IATA limits [6]. For RELX, pack pods in a clear zip‑lock bag to avoid pressure‑related leaks.

How long does a 10‑pack of RELX pods last on holiday?

Approximately 6,500 puffs. For a moderate vaper (200 puffs/day), that's about 32 days. For heavy use (400 puffs/day), about 16 days. The IGET One's 12,000 puffs would last a moderate vaper 60 days – enough for even the longest trip.

Which one is better for backpacking?

IGET One wins for simplicity – no charger, no pods to lose. But if you're backpacking for months, RELX + power bank is more sustainable (just buy pods locally where legal).
