Combining Device Hardware With Established Flavor Assets

The focus of the collaboration is not a new device launch, but the combination of hardware and branded e-liquid.

Compared with closed-system products, open systems require consumers to select both devices and e-liquids. Bundled products can simplify the entry process by offering a matched hardware and flavor combination.

The RELX Prime Pro × Red Astaire bundle represents a model where:

● RELX provides the hardware platform;

● T-Juice provides established flavor recognition;

● The bundle delivers a complete retail proposition.

Prime Pro Continues an Existing Hardware Platform

Prime Pro is not a newly introduced device for this French collaboration.

Public product information indicates that the Prime Pro platform was first publicly launched in Indonesia in December 2025. The French release represents a T-Juice Red Astaire co-branded version of the existing device platform.

The Prime Pro features:

● 1,350mAh battery;

● USB-C charging;

● Up to 45W output;

● Dual Mesh coil structure

● 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω pod options.

The device also supports Smooth and Boost modes alongside four display themes.

French Retail Channels Add Co-Branded Bundle

The RELX Prime Pro × Red Astaire bundle appeared across French retail and distribution channels in August 2026.

Related RELX × T-Juice Prime and Prime E bundles also appeared during the same period, indicating broader collaboration between RELX hardware platforms and T-Juice e-liquid products.

The partnership combines hardware, e-liquid and retail packaging into a bundled open-system proposition for French consumers.

Industry Perspective

As competition in refillable vape systems develops, hardware companies are increasingly exploring partnerships with established e-liquid brands.

Rather than competing only through device specifications, open-system brands are building broader ecosystems that combine hardware, consumables and flavor recognition.

The RELX and T-Juice collaboration reflects this shift, showing how e-liquid partnerships can support the commercialization of refillable platforms beyond standalone device sales.
