RELX Artisan Metal Black Wave: Precision Craftsmanship in Dubai
What Makes the Metal Black Wave Different
The Black Wave finish is not a colour it is a material and construction choice. The raised wave-relief pattern is machined directly into the zinc alloy body, not applied or painted on. This creates a device where the texture is structural: the waves provide grip, create shadow and depth in the all-black colourway, and are integral to the surface rather than sitting on top of it. Unlike the leather Artisan variants (Robin Blue, Royal Saddle, Indigo Denim) which are warm to the touch and develop a patina, the Metal Black Wave is cold, hard, and immutable it looks identical on day one and after six months of daily use. The matte black finish hides fingerprints and smudges effectively. At approximately 36g, it carries more weight than leather variants a deliberate choice that gives it a premium, executive feel in the hand.

Metal devices in UAE heat – what you need to know
Never leave in a parked car. UAE summer interiors exceed 70°C – the 380mAh battery swells permanently above 45°C. Zinc alloy retains heat longer than aluminium, so the device heats up faster in direct sun.Keep out of direct sunlight. Prolonged sun exposure can cause the matte finish to develop uneven heat marks. Store in a bag or pocket when not in use.Clean the textured surface regularly. Use a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth on the wave-relief pattern. For the gold magnetic contact pins, wipe weekly with a dry cotton swab UAE coastal humidity causes condensation build-up that disrupts draw activation.Charge in short cycles. Full charge in 45 minutes avoid overnight charging. Short complete cycles preserve the 500+ cycle battery rating.

Who Is the Metal Black Wave For?
- Professionals who want presence without colour – all-black, matte, near-silent 10dB draw. Commands attention without announcing itself.
- Vapers upgrading from standard devices – the zinc alloy body and SmartPace vibration alert mark a clear step up from plastic and thin aluminium pod systems.
- Users who want grip without leather – the wave texture provides natural tactile grip that smooth metal variants don’t offer.
- Smokers switching to pod vaping – draw-activated firing mirrors a cigarette draw; compatible nicotine salt pods deliver comparable satisfaction.
Not ideal for: vapers who prefer lighter carry (at 36g, heavier than leather Artisan variants), those who want leather warmth (choose Robin Blue or Royal Saddle), or pure flat minimalism without texture (choose Dark Stealth).
