RELX Infinity vs RELX Essential: Which One Should You Buy?
Short answer: they vape the same because they use the same pods. The Infinity is slimmer and feels more premium. The Essential is cheaper and a little wider. If you are spending more than the Essential anyway, also look at the Infinity 2, which adds a bigger battery, fast charging and power modes.

Feel and design
The Infinity is slimmer and sits in the hand like a pen. The Essential is a little wider and lighter-feeling. Neither is better, it is personal preference.
