For years, the name Elux was synonymous with the explosion of disposable vapes. Known for their "Legend" series, they captured the market with an intense, ultra-sweet flavour profile that traditional e-liquids struggled to match. However, as vapers moved toward more sustainable refillable systems, the brand adapted by releasing their secret sauce in bottle form: Elux Legend Nic Salts.

This article explores why these salts have become a staple for vapers and how they bridge the gap between convenience and performance.

What Are Elux Nic Salts?

Elux Nic Salts are 10ml bottles of e-liquid designed to replicate the exact taste found in Elux disposable vapes. Unlike standard "freebase" nicotine, these use nicotine salts, which are pH-balanced to be smoother on the throat.

The "Bar Salt" Phenomenon

The Elux Legend series belongs to a category known as Bar Salts. These are distinct because they use a higher concentration of flavourings and sweeteners than traditional e-liquids. This ensures that even in a smaller, refillable pod kit, you get that "punchy" taste typical of a disposable.

Key Specifications

Elux has kept the technical side simple to ensure compatibility with the most popular starter kits on the market.

  • Bottle Size: 10ml (TPD Compliant).

  • VG/PG Ratio: 50/50. This balanced ratio provides the perfect consistency for small coils, preventing leaks while maintaining excellent flavour.

  • Nicotine Strengths: Most commonly available in 10mg (1.0%) and 20mg (2.0%), though 5mg options are increasingly available for those tapering down.

  • Puff Equivalence: One 10ml bottle provides roughly 3,000 puffs, which is the equivalent of five standard 600-puff disposables.

Top 5 Elux Legend Flavours to Try

With over 40 flavours in the range, the choice can be overwhelming. Based on 2026 market trends and user reviews, these are the standout performers:

  1. Mr Blue: A sophisticated blend of blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries with a sharp, icy finish. It remains the brand's most iconic "all-day vape."

  2. Blueberry Sour Raspberry: The perfect tug-of-war between sweet forest fruits and a tangy, sour kick.

  3. Fizzy Cherry: Unlike a flat cherry flavour, this captures a "sparkling" sensation on the tongue, followed by deep, sweet fruit notes.

  4. Gummy Bear: A nostalgic, sugary mix of fruit candy that mimics the chewy texture of the real thing.

  5. Lemon & Lime: A citrus powerhouse that is often cited as the most refreshing in the range, cutting through the sweetness with zesty acidity.

Why Make the Switch from Disposables?

If you are currently using Elux disposables, moving to Elux Legend Nic Salts is a logical next step for three main reasons:

  • Cost Efficiency: A single bottle of Elux salt typically costs the same as one disposable but lasts five times as long.

  • Environmental Impact: By using a refillable pod kit, you stop discarding lithium batteries and plastic shells every few hundred puffs.

  • Performance: Pairing these salts with a quality pod system (like an OXVA Xlim or Vaporesso XROS) often results in better flavour and a more customized draw than a disposable can offer.

Pro Tip: For the best experience, use Elux salts with a coil resistance between 0.8Ω and 1.2Ω. This prevents the liquid from becoming too hot, which can over-caramelize the sweeteners and shorten your coil life.
