Chinese e-cigarette maker RLX Technology Inc. is looking to raise as much as $1.17 billion from a U.S. initial public offering, highlighting how American stock exchanges remain attractive fund-raising avenues for mainland firms despite heated tensions between the world’s two biggest economies.

RLX Technology, backed by Sequoia Capital China, is selling 116.5 million American Depositary Shares at $8 to $10 each, according to a U.S. filing. Each ADS represents one ordinary share and will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
