Best Nic Salt E-Liquid for Pod Kits UK 2026: Elux Legend Reviewed

by [name] 10 July 2025 [count] min read

Written by the Vape7Store UK Team — real vapers since 2024. Last updated: April 2026.

Elux Legend Nic Salts are the best-selling nic salt e-liquid at Vape7Store for 2026. The range includes 44 flavours in 10ml bottles, 10mg and 20mg strengths, a 50/50 VG/PG blend that works in every pod kit, and has won Best E-Liquid and Best Fruit Flavour at the Vapour Expo Awards. Our team's top three picks are Mr Blue (mixed berry slushy), Fizzy Cherry (cherry sherbet), and Kiwi Passionfruit Guava (tropical).

If you use a refillable pod kit, open pod system, or MTL tank, nic salt e-liquid is what you buy to refill it. Elux Legend has quietly become the dominant UK nic salt brand because it pairs excellent flavour quality with price accessibility — and it does both better than most competitors at a similar price point. This guide walks you through what makes Elux Legend worth buying, which flavours our team rates highest, and why stocking up now makes sense before the October 2026 vape tax.

Everything here is TPD compliant, TRPR registered, MHRA notified, and for adults 18+ only.

What Makes a Great Nic Salt E-Liquid?

Not all nic salts are created equal. Our team judges nic salt e-liquid on five criteria:

Flavour accuracy — Does it actually taste like the name on the bottle?
Smoothness — A proper nic salt at 20mg should feel as gentle as 6mg freebase
Nicotine delivery speed — You should feel the hit within 2–3 minutes
Longevity in the device — Some brands gunk up coils within days; the best ones last much longer
VG/PG balance — 50/50 is ideal for pod kits (good flavour, good wicking, decent vapour)

Elux Legend ticks all five boxes. The Vapour Expo 2024 awards jury agreed, naming it Best E-Liquid and Best Fruit Flavour in the same year.

Elux Legend's strongest suit is consistency. Where some budget nic salts hit hard and then fade, Elux Legend maintains flavour depth throughout the bottle and throughout the life of a pod. Our customers report coil lifespans comparable to any premium UK brand.

Best Elux Legend Flavours UK 2026 (Top 10)

1. Mr Blue — Our #1 Seller

Mixed berry slushy with a whisper of menthol. The inhale opens with ripe blueberry and blackcurrant, the mid-puff brings in raspberry and a slight strawberry note, and the exhale finishes with an icy slushy coolness that rounds everything off. One of our customers described it as "a summer drink you can vape." Our ex-smokers say it kills cravings faster than anything else they have tried. Consistently the #1 seller in the range.

2. Fizzy Cherry

Community-rated at 4.83 out of 5. Sweet black cherry on the inhale, then a fizzy sherbet exhale that tingles on the tongue. Reminds our team of cherry sherbet dip from the sweet shop. If you like dessert flavours without being overly sweet, this is the one.

3. Kiwi Passionfruit Guava

The same three-stage tropical blend that dominates the Lost Mary range, now in a refillable bottle. Sharp kiwi, tangy passionfruit, smooth guava. Our top pick for anyone switching from a Lost Mary BM6000 to an open pod system — the flavour experience is near identical.

4. Gummy Bear

Sweet mixed-fruit candy taste. If you have ever eaten gummy bears and thought "I wish I could vape this", this is for you. Not for subtlety fans, but brilliant for sweet-tooth vapers.

5. Blueberry Sour Raspberry

Raspberry-led with a tangy sour edge and sweet blueberry background. Closer to raspberry jam than a sour sweet. A great daytime all-rounder.

6. Cherry Cola

Juicy black cherry on the inhale, fizzy cola on the exhale. The non-fruit option for vapers who want something different without going full menthol.

7. Pink Lemonade

Light, refreshing, nostalgic. Sweet lemon base with soft berry undertones and a gentle tartness. Excellent summer all-day vape.

8. Watermelon Ice

Clean watermelon flesh with a cool menthol finish. Not cloying, not medicinal — the Goldilocks of ice flavours.

9. Triple Mango

Three mango notes layered together: ripe, green, and caramelised. No floral perfume notes. Exactly what mango fans want.

10. Fresh Mint

Clean menthol, no sweetness, no fruit. The closest thing to a menthol cigarette in the entire Elux Legend range. Our go-to recommendation for ex-menthol-cigarette smokers.

Which Devices Are Elux Legend Nic Salts Compatible With?

As a 50/50 VG/PG blend at 10mg or 20mg nic salt, Elux Legend works in any standard MTL device. That includes:

Refillable pod kits with 0.8Ω–1.2Ω coils
Open pod systems (Vaporesso Xros, Uwell Caliburn, SMOK Nord, etc.)
MTL tanks on low-wattage mods
Starter pen kits designed for nic salt vaping

Do NOT use Elux Legend in sub-ohm tanks (below 0.8Ω) at high wattage. Nic salt + high wattage + sub-ohm coils = an uncomfortable and potentially harmful amount of nicotine per puff.

10ml vs 20ml — Which Should You Buy?

UK law caps nicotine-containing e-liquid bottles at 10ml under Regulation 36 of the TRPR. You cannot legally buy a 20ml nicotine bottle in the UK. However, you can buy multiples of 10ml at a time — and at Vape7Store we often run deals like 3 for £10 or 10 for £30 that bring the per-bottle cost down significantly.

Our honest advice for heavy vapers: buy 10ml in bulk. Elux Legend bottles have an 18–24 month shelf life if stored upright in a cool, dark place, so stocking up 2–3 months worth is entirely reasonable.

Stock Up Before the October 2026 Vape Tax

From 1 October 2026, HMRC's Vaping Products Duty adds £2.20 per 10ml bottle of vaping liquid — regardless of nicotine content. This is a flat duty on all e-liquids, and after VAT on the duty the effective increase is approximately £2.64 per 10ml.

Here is what that means for Elux Legend:

Purchase	Current price (approx)	Post-Oct 2026 price	Increase
Single 10ml bottle	£3.99	£6.63	+66%
3 for £10 deal	£10.00	£17.92	+79%
10 for £30 deal	£30.00	£56.40	+88%

If you vape 2 bottles a week, that is a difference of roughly £275 a year just from the duty. Stocking up a 6-month supply now locks in today's prices. Full details of the duty on the GOV.UK Vaping Products Duty page.

Nic salt bottles store well — keep them upright, away from direct sunlight, at room temperature, and they stay fresh for 18–24 months. There is no practical downside to stocking up.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Elux Legend flavour?

Mr Blue is the best-selling Elux Legend flavour and our team's top pick. It is a mixed berry slushy with a hint of menthol that delivers satisfying flavour and fast nicotine hit — ideal for ex-smokers.

Is Elux Legend the same brand as Elux Bar?

Yes, Elux Legend is made by Elux — the same UK brand behind the original Elux Bar range. Elux Legend is their nic salt e-liquid line, developed to pair with refillable pod kits after the June 2025 single-use vape ban.

What strength should I buy, 10mg or 20mg?

If you smoked 10+ cigarettes a day, buy 20mg. If you smoked fewer than 10 a day or find 20mg harsh, buy 10mg. 20mg is the UK legal maximum and closest to cigarette nicotine delivery.

How long does a 10ml bottle of Elux Legend last?

On average, a 10ml bottle lasts a daily vaper 3–7 days, depending on device, draw length, and how much you vape. Heavy users may go through a bottle every 2–3 days.

Can I use Elux Legend in a Lost Mary BM6000?

No. The Lost Mary BM6000 uses prefilled pods and is not designed to be refilled with bottled e-liquid. Elux Legend is for refillable pod kits, MTL tanks, and open pod systems.

Are Elux Legend nic salts TPD compliant?

Yes. All Elux Legend nic salts sold at Vape7Store are TPD compliant, TRPR registered, and MHRA notified. Bottles are the UK legal maximum of 10ml, nicotine is capped at 20mg/ml, and health warnings are displayed as required by law.

How should I store Elux Legend bottles?

Store bottles upright, away from direct sunlight, at room temperature in a cool cupboard. Stored properly, nic salt e-liquid lasts 18–24 months.

Final Verdict

Elux Legend is the best all-round nic salt e-liquid on the UK market in 2026 — brilliant flavour range, excellent value, and award-winning quality. If you use a refillable pod kit or MTL tank, this is the range we recommend without hesitation. Stock up before October 2026 to lock in pre-tax pricing.
