The IGET Bar is a single-use disposable; the Relx Infinity 2 is rechargeable and takes replaceable pods. The Infinity 2 costs more upfront and less within the first month — roughly $885–$1,430 a year against $2,160–$3,360 on IGET Bars. It also delivers consistent flavour, since every pod brings a fresh coil.
Should you switch from IGET Bars to a Relx Infinity 2?
Over the past four years, single-use disposable devices like the IGET Bar 3500, IGET Legend 4000, and GunnPod 2000 surged across Australia due to zero setup complexity. However, rising retail costs, environmental concerns over discarded lithium-ion cells, and inconsistent battery performance have led tens of thousands of Australian adult vapers to transition to rechargeable closed-pod systems — led by the Relx Infinity 2.
If you currently buy disposable vapes weekly, this guide breaks down the real puff mathematics, actual 12-month financial savings, hardware safety differences, and flavour translation to help you make an informed switch.
Puff Mathematics: Marketing Claims vs Real-World Inhales
The number printed on disposable packaging (e.g., '3,500 puffs') is derived from automated testing machines taking rapid 1.0-second draws with wide airflow. In real-world adult use, average mouth-to-lung draws last between 2.5 and 3.5 seconds.
| Specification / Metric | IGET Bar 3500 (Single-Use Disposable) | Relx Infinity 2 + Pro Pods (Rechargeable System) |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware Format | All-in-one single-use (Discarded when empty) | Rechargeable device body + Replaceable 1.9ml pods |
| Advertised Puff Count | ~3,500 machine puffs (1.0s) | ~500 – 650 puffs per pod (FEELM ceramic) |
| Actual Real-World Draws | ~1,100 – 1,400 adult draws (2.5s) | ~550 – 650 adult draws per pod |
| E-Liquid Capacity | 12.0ml internal sponge reservoir | 1.9ml precision sealed ceramic chamber |
| Battery Architecture | 1500mAh non-rechargeable lithium cell | 440mAh CE/RoHS rechargeable lithium (USB-C) |
| Vaporisation Core | Standard cotton fiber roll + wire | FEELM honeycomb micro-porous ceramic |
| Power Output Control | Fixed output (Voltage drops as battery drains) | 3-Mode Variable (Eco 8W, Smooth 10W, Boost 15W) |
| Leak Prevention | Basic silicone end plugs | 11-layer acoustic & capillary maze structure |
12-Month Financial Audit: Disposables vs Relx Pods
Because disposables require purchasing an entire battery, casing, packaging, and circuit board with every few milliliters of liquid, ongoing costs accumulate dramatically compared to replacing only the pod.
| Expense Category | IGET Bar 3500 (Weekly Repurchase) | Relx Infinity 2 (Rechargeable Setup) |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Hardware Setup | bash.00 (Device included with purchase) | 5.00 (One-time device body purchase) |
| Weekly Running Cost | 5.00 (1x IGET Bar per week) | 8.50 (~1.5 pods per week at 5 per 2-pack) |
| 6-Month Expenditure | 10.00 AUD | 16.00 AUD (Device + 38 pods) |
| 12-Month Total Expenditure | ,820.00 AUD | 97.00 AUD (Device + 78 pods) |
| Net Annual Cash Savings | — | 23.00 – 80.00 AUD SAVED |
The Verdict on Cost: Switching from weekly IGET Bar purchases to the Relx Infinity 2 pays for the initial device within 3 weeks and saves more than 00 AUD every calendar year thereafter.
Environmental & Safety Realities
- 52 Discarded Batteries Per Year: A vaper consuming one disposable per week discards 52 lithium-ion batteries into the municipal waste stream annually. Because disassembling glued plastic disposables is difficult, millions of these batteries end up in Australian landfill, posing serious fire risks in garbage collection vehicles.
- Stable Rechargeable Engineering: With the Relx Infinity 2, a single battery chassis lasts for years with regular USB-C recharging. The spent plastic pods can be safely disposed of without lithium hazard.
- Consistent Voltage Output: Single-use devices experience severe voltage drop — the flavour and vapor density during the final 30% of battery life is weak, cool, and muted. In contrast, the Relx Infinity 2 employs an active buck-boost circuit that regulates voltage to deliver identical vapor temperature from full charge down to 5%.
Flavour Translation Guide: Matching IGET to Relx
If you enjoy specific disposable flavour profiles, here are direct genuine Relx Pro pod matches:
- If you vape IGET Blackberry Ice / Mixed Berry: Switch to Relx Tangy Grape or Dark Sparkle.
- If you vape IGET Strawberry Watermelon Ice: Switch to Relx Watermelon Ice (Fresh Red).
- If you vape IGET Passionfruit Mango: Switch to Relx Golden Slice (Mango).
- If you vape IGET Double Apple / Mint: Switch to Relx Menthol Xtra or Zesty Menthol.

Two different propositions, not two versions of the same thing
The IGET Bar is a single-use device: battery, coil, liquid and casing in one sealed unit, discarded when the liquid runs out. The Relx Infinity 2 is a reusable device that takes replaceable pods. Comparing them on price alone misses the point — they answer different questions.
| IGET Bar 3500 | Relx Infinity 2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Single-use disposable | Rechargeable device + pods |
| Upfront | $18 – $28 | $45 – $70 (device only) |
| Ongoing | Full price each time | $28 – $38 per 4-pack of pods |
| Rated capacity | 3,500 puffs | ~650 puffs per pod |
| Power control | None | Three modes |
| Coil | Fixed, degrades through use | Fresh ceramic with every pod |
| Charging | None on most units | USB-C |
| Flavour switching | Buy a new device | Swap the pod |
| Authentication | Varies; heavily counterfeited category | Scratch panel + QR verification |
| Waste per month | ~10 lithium cells | ~8 plastic pods |
How much does each option cost over a year?
Assuming a moderate user getting through roughly one IGET Bar every three days, or the equivalent in pods:
| Period | IGET Bar | Infinity 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Month 1 | $180 – $280 | $115 – $180 (device + pods) |
| Month 3 | $540 – $840 | $255 – $410 |
| Month 12 | $2,160 – $3,360 | $885 – $1,430 |
The Infinity 2 pulls ahead inside the first month and the gap widens steadily. That said, if the lowest possible cost is the priority, neither is the answer — a refillable pod kit with bottled liquid sits well below both.
Flavour consistency
This is the difference most people notice first in daily use. A disposable's coil degrades progressively through its life, so the last third of an IGET Bar does not taste like the first third. With the Infinity 2, every pod brings a fresh ceramic coil, so the experience resets every couple of days and the final draws of a pod are close to the first.
Whether that matters depends on how sensitive you are to it. Plenty of people barely notice; others find the fade the single most irritating thing about disposables.
Control, and what it is worth
The Infinity 2's three power modes are more useful than they sound. Eco runs the coil cooler and extends pod life noticeably on sweet flavours; Boost runs hotter and suits menthol and tobacco. A disposable gives you one fixed output regardless of what is in it. If you rotate flavour families, matching mode to pod is a real, ongoing benefit.
Authentication and the counterfeit problem
Disposables are where the majority of counterfeit product circulates in Australia, because the format is high-volume, low-cost and easy to imitate. Counterfeit units may carry unverified liquid and, more seriously, unprotected battery cells. The Relx platform's scratch-panel and QR verification gives you a definitive check before first use, which is a meaningful advantage in a market with this much fake product in it.
Waste
A moderate IGET Bar user discards around ten lithium cells a month, roughly a hundred and twenty a year, none of which belongs in kerbside recycling or general waste. The Infinity 2 user discards plastic pods and keeps the battery for a year or more. If environmental impact factors into the decision at all, this is not a close comparison.
Which to choose
The IGET Bar suits you if
- You vape occasionally and a rechargeable device would sit flat between uses.
- You want zero commitment or maintenance.
- You are sampling the format before deciding whether to invest.
The Infinity 2 suits you if
- You vape daily and the running cost matters.
- You want consistent flavour rather than a fade through each device.
- You want to switch flavours without buying new hardware.
- Verification and waste both factor into the decision.
