RELX Blueberry Splash and RELX Strawberry Burst are both sweet fruit pods, but they are not interchangeable. Blueberry Splash leans darker and slightly tart, while Strawberry Burst is brighter and candy-sweet. If you want a juicy, grown-up fruit, pick Blueberry Splash. If you want a sweeter, dessert-style berry, pick Strawberry Burst.
This face-off is for UAE vapers trying to choose one, or deciding which to rotate. I will compare how each tastes, how sweet they run, how they hold up in the heat, and who each one suits. RELX pods are sealed and click in, so there is no refilling, just a flavour choice.
You can open the RELX Blueberry Splash in Dubai listing as you read, so the tasting notes below have something to anchor to before you decide.

What does RELX Blueberry Splash taste like?
RELX Blueberry Splash tastes like a juicy dark berry with a slight tartness that keeps it from turning sugary. The blueberry reads ripe and rounded rather than artificial, with only a mild cool on the finish. That tart edge makes it a little more grown-up than a straight candy fruit, and easier to vape all day.
What does RELX Strawberry Burst taste like?
RELX Strawberry Burst tastes like a ripe, sweet strawberry with a candy-like top note, so it reads brighter and sweeter than Blueberry Splash. The fruit is clear and pleasant, with a mild cool underneath. It is the more dessert-leaning of the two, which fans of sweet pods tend to love and sweetness-averse vapers find a touch much.
If this brighter, sweeter profile is what you want, the RELX Strawberry Burst at Relx Dubai listing is worth a look alongside the blueberry option so you can compare the two directly.
Which is sweeter, and which lasts better on the palate?
Strawberry Burst is the sweeter of the two, and that sweetness is exactly why some vapers tire of it faster over a long day. Blueberry Splash, with its tart edge, tends to stay interesting for longer without feeling cloying. Palate fatigue is personal, but the tarter pod usually wins on all-day staying power.
- Pick Blueberry Splash if you want juicy fruit with a tart edge that resists getting cloying.
- Pick Strawberry Burst if you want a sweeter, dessert-style berry as a treat.
- Rotate both if you like fruit all day but want to avoid palate fatigue.
- Skip both if you dislike sweet pods and prefer tobacco or strong menthol.
How do they handle the Dubai heat?
Both pods are bright, juicy, and refreshing, which suits the summer well. Neither leads with strong cooling, so they refresh through fruit rather than chill. If you want more of a cold hit, you would pair either with a mint pod rather than expecting the fruit alone to cool you down.
- Store spare pods upright and out of the heat to protect the fruit flavour.
- Prime a fresh pod for a minute so the first draw is not thin.
- Rotate a mint pod if you want a cold edge the fruit does not provide.
- Swap a pod when the fruit turns flat rather than chasing the last draws.
Which should a UAE vaper buy first?
If you are unsure, start with Blueberry Splash. Its tart-sweet balance is easier to live with across a full day and less likely to feel sickly. Choose Strawberry Burst first only if you already know you love sweet, candy-style fruit and want that as your main flavour.
One honest limitation: both are sweet fruit pods, so neither suits someone who wants a tobacco base or a strong menthol. If you find sweet vapes tiring, keep a tobacco or mint pod to rotate. A dessert-style option like RELX Hazelnut Latte is another sweet change of pace, not a palate cleanser.
What if you want something different from fruit?
Fruit pods are easy to enjoy, but a steady rotation keeps any flavour fresh. If you fancy a creamy, dessert-style change rather than another berry, a coffee-leaning pod gives your palate a complete break from the sweetness of Blueberry Splash and Strawberry Burst without jumping straight to tobacco or mint.
For that creamy switch, the RELX Hazelnut Latte in Dubai is a smooth, nutty coffee option that contrasts well with the two berries and works nicely as an evening pod when you want something richer.
How do Blueberry Splash and Strawberry Burst suit different times of day?
Both pods are daytime-friendly, but they lean slightly differently. Blueberry Splash, with its tart edge, carries through a long working day without feeling sickly, while Strawberry Burst reads more like a treat you dip into when you want something sweet and bright rather than something you draw on constantly.
A simple way to place them in your day:
- Blueberry Splash as the steady all-day pod when you want fruit without fatigue.
- Strawberry Burst as a sweeter pick for breaks, afternoons, or a dessert-style moment.
- Either one in the heat, since both refresh through juice rather than strong cooling.
- A mint pod alongside when you want a cold edge neither fruit provides.
Neither is locked to a time slot, but matching the sweeter pod to treat moments keeps both tasting fresh for longer.
Which pod is easier for a new RELX vaper to start with?
Blueberry Splash is usually the easier starting pod because its tart-sweet balance is simple to live with and less likely to feel cloying early on. Strawberry Burst is lovely but sweeter, which some new vapers enjoy and others tire of, so it is a better second pod once you know you like candy-style fruit.
For a newcomer, the sensible approach is to buy one pod, match the nicotine strength to your habit, and judge it over a full day rather than a few draws. Starting with the more balanced berry gives a fairer first impression of RELX fruit pods, and you can add the sweeter option later once your palate has a reference point.
How do these pods hold their flavour in a Dubai summer?
Both pods keep their fruit well when stored indoors, but heat is the enemy of their brightness. A pod left in a hot car loses its juicy top notes fast, and since neither leads with strong cooling, there is no icy edge to mask a flat flavour once the fruit dulls. Storage is the deciding factor.
A little care keeps each pod tasting as intended.
- Keep spare pods upright in a cool drawer, never in a glovebox or on a dashboard.
- Let a cold-stored pod reach room temperature before the first draw.
- Prime a fresh pod for a minute so the opening draw is not thin.
- Swap a pod once the fruit turns flat rather than chasing the final draws.
Treat storage as part of the flavour, and both berries reward you with the bright, juicy character that makes them worth choosing in the first place.
How do these two berries compare with a mint or tobacco pod?
Both berries sit firmly in the sweet-fruit camp, so they refresh through juice rather than chill or tobacco body. Next to a mint pod, they feel warmer and rounder with no cold edge, and next to a tobacco-led option they are far sweeter and lighter. Knowing that helps you build a rotation that does not tire you.
A simple way to picture where each one sits:
- Blueberry Splash: tart-sweet dark berry, mild cool, easy all-day fruit.
- Strawberry Burst: candy-sweet ripe strawberry, mild cool, more of a treat.
- A mint pod: cold-led and clean, the contrast both berries lack.
- A tobacco-style pod: a complete change of character for a different mood.
If sweet fruit is all you vape, the two berries alone can start to blur over a long day. Pairing one of them with a cooler or richer pod keeps your palate sharp, so the juicy fruit stays enjoyable rather than fading into background sweetness you stop noticing.
Does nicotine strength change which berry suits you?
Nicotine strength does not change the flavour of either berry, but it shapes how often you reach for the pod. A strength that matches your habit satisfies with fewer draws, so a sweet pod like Strawberry Burst feels less cloying because you vape it less. A mismatch can make any flavour tiring.
If you find a sweet pod wears on you quickly, the strength may be part of the reason rather than the fruit itself. Choosing a strength that suits your habit lets the brighter, sweeter profile stay a pleasure instead of something you draw on too often. Match the strength first, then judge the sweetness fairly.
