HQD vs Relx is mostly a question of capacity, because the two sit at the same typical price. Figures are from our in-stock catalogue on 10 October 2026, so check each product page before you order.
1. HQD vs Relx: quick comparison
The table shows the main numbers side by side. Prices are for in-stock disposables with a single listed price. Replacement pods and pod kits are left out of the counts.
| Feature | HQD | Relx |
|---|---|---|
| In-stock disposables | 8 | 7 |
| Price range | AED 35 to AED 55 | AED 45 to AED 60 |
| Median price | AED 50 | AED 50 |
| Puff counts in names | 1,200 to 20,000 | 4,000 to 60,000 |
| Strengths in names | 0%, 2%, 20mg, 50mg | 20mg, 50mg |
2. Range and puff counts
HQD covers the lower and middle of the market. It starts at the 1,200 puff Cuvie Plus Black Ice and tops out at 20,000 puffs with the HQD Shisha 20000. The Glaze Plus 12000 sits in between.
Relx begins higher and goes much further. In our stock it runs from 4,000 puffs with the MagicGo GA4000 up to 60,000 with the Relx Optimus. Other examples are the Relx Ace 20000 and the Relx Blade 50k. Puff counts are the maker’s claim, so see our puff-life guide for what changes real use.
3. Price
In the HQD vs Relx price comparison, the typical listing is the same: both have a median of AED 50. HQD has the lowest entry at AED 35, while Relx starts at AED 45 and tops out at AED 60 against HQD’s AED 55.
Because the prices are so close, puff count is the better yardstick. For example, a 60,000 puff Relx listing at AED 60 and a 12,000 puff HQD at AED 55 are priced within a few AED of each other. For wider context, see our disposable vape price guide.
4. Nicotine labels
HQD names show four labels: 0%, 2%, 20mg and 50mg. One listing, the Miracle 8000, is shown as zero nicotine at 0%. Relx names show 20mg and 50mg only, and some listings do not state a strength in the name.
Percent and mg figures are not directly comparable, so check the product page for the exact strength. Our nicotine strength guide explains how to read labels. We do not recommend a strength.
5. HQD pros and cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Lowest entry price in this comparison, AED 35 | Top puff count is 20,000, well below Relx’s 60,000 |
| Small devices available, from 1,200 puffs | One strength variant has no price shown at present |
| Wider choice of strength labels, including a 0% listing | Units vary between percent and mg, so labels need care |
6. Relx pros and cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Much higher puff counts, up to 60,000 | Entry price starts higher, at AED 45 |
| Also stocks pod kits and replacement pods | Top listing is AED 60, above HQD’s AED 55 |
| Strengths limited to two labels, 20mg and 50mg | Fewer low-puff devices, starting at 4,000 |
7. How to choose
When weighing HQD vs Relx, decide your puff target first. For a smaller, short-term device, HQD’s lower bands fit. For a very long-life device, Relx reaches higher. Neither says anything about taste, which depends on the flavour you choose. Brand names alone also say little about build quality or battery life, so use the specifications on the product page and the reviews rather than the logo.
A light user may never finish a 60,000 puff device, and a heavy user may find a 1,200 puff one runs out in days, so match capacity to how you use it. Relx also lists pod kits and pods, which is a different category covered in our disposable vs pod comparison.
Once you have narrowed it down, read the HQD Shisha 20000 review and the Relx Ace 20000 review. For more brand matchups, see Al Fakher vs Elf Bar and Elf Bar vs Vozol. Delivery details are in our vape delivery guide.
