Elux Nic Salts 20mg Apple Peach overview

Elux Nic Salts 20mg Apple Peach is a 10ml bottle of nicotine salt e-liquid built around two familiar fruit notes: a crisp, slightly tart apple and a soft, ripe peach. It is aimed at adults who already vape or are moving away from cigarettes, and who would rather refill a pod kit or small tank device than buy something they will throw away after a few days. The strength is 20mg/ml, which is the legal ceiling for nicotine vaping liquid in the UK, and the 10ml bottle size is also the maximum allowed for refill bottles sold here.

If you have tried Elux disposables, the brand name will be familiar. The nic salt range takes the same fruit-forward approach to flavour and puts it into a format where you control the device, the coil and the cost per millilitre. That matters more than it used to. Single-use vapes were banned from sale across the UK in June 2025, so refillable systems and pre-filled pod kits are now the normal route for anyone who wants a compact, easy-to-use device.

Here is what you are getting at a glance:

• Volume: 10ml per bottle, supplied sealed with a child-resistant, tamper-evident cap
• Nicotine: 20mg/ml nicotine salt, which works out at 200mg of nicotine across the full bottle
• Flavour: apple and peach, with no menthol or cooling agent suggested by the name
• Base: a balanced VG/PG blend designed for pod systems and low-power devices (check the exact ratio printed on your bottle)
• Suited to: refillable pod kits, 0.6 to 1.2 ohm coils, mouth-to-lung and restricted direct-to-lung draw styles
• Not suited to: sub-ohm tanks run at high wattage, or anyone who has never used nicotine

The rest of this guide covers what the liquid tastes like, how it behaves in different devices, how to fill and look after it, where things can go wrong, and how it compares with other ways of buying nicotine salt in the UK. We have tried to be straight about the limits as well as the strengths, because a 20mg bottle is not the right answer for everyone who lands on this page.

Flavour profile: apple and peach

The name tells you most of what to expect, but the balance between the two fruits is what decides whether you will enjoy a bottle for ten days or give up after two. In Elux Nic Salts Apple Peach the apple leads on the inhale. It reads as a juicy, lightly tart apple rather than a sharp green sour one, closer to fresh apple juice than to a boiled sweet. As the vapour settles on the palate, the peach comes through in the middle of the draw, with the soft, slightly floral sweetness you get from tinned peach slices or peach nectar.

On the exhale the two fruits blend. The peach lingers a little longer than the apple, leaving a gentle sweet aftertaste that fades within a few seconds rather than coating the mouth. There is no cooling effect listed in the product name, so you should not expect a menthol rush. If you want a cold finish you would normally look at a flavour with Ice in the title, and that is a separate bottle.

Some practical notes on how the flavour behaves:

• Sweetness: medium to medium-high. It is a dessert-adjacent fruit rather than a dry, crisp one, so it suits people who enjoy sweet drinks.
• Intensity: clear but not overpowering. At low wattage the apple is more obvious; turn the power up a little and the peach comes forward.
• Temperature: warm vapour from a hotter coil tends to flatten the apple and make the peach taste more like candy. Cooler, lower-power vaping keeps both notes distinct.
• Staying power: fruit blends like this one can cause flavour fatigue after a few days of constant use. If the taste seems to fade, it is often your palate rather than the liquid.

If you like Elux fruit flavours in general, or you are coming from a pre-filled device in a similar fruit profile, Apple Peach sits in comfortable territory. If you prefer tobacco, creamy or heavily candied profiles, this is not going to change your mind, and you will be happier with a different bottle. Fruit flavours are also the category where personal taste varies widely, so treat any description, including this one, as a guide rather than a guarantee.

One small tip: the first few puffs from a freshly filled pod can taste slightly muted while the cotton or mesh wicks the liquid in. Give it a few minutes before judging the flavour, and take short, gentle draws at first.

Performance and vapour delivery

Nicotine salts are made by combining nicotine with an acid, usually benzoic acid, which lowers the pH of the liquid. The practical effect is a smoother throat hit at a given strength compared with traditional freebase nicotine. That is why nic salts are normally sold at 10mg and 20mg rather than the 3mg to 6mg common in freebase liquid for larger tanks. At 20mg/ml, Apple Peach delivers a noticeable but rounded throat hit, and nicotine reaches the bloodstream faster than freebase at the same strength.

That fast delivery is the main reason ex-smokers pick nic salts. A few puffs can satisfy a craving in a way that low-strength freebase often does not, which is also why you tend to take fewer, shorter draws than you would on a sub-ohm device. It also means you should be honest with yourself about how much nicotine you need, which we cover in the strength section below.

What to expect in real use:

• Vapour volume: modest. This liquid is intended for low-power pod systems, so clouds are small and discreet compared with sub-ohm vaping.
• Throat hit: medium at 20mg. People used to cigarettes often find it comfortable; people new to nicotine may find it strong.
• Consistency: a balanced VG/PG mix wicks reliably in most pod coils, so you should get steady flavour from the first draw to the last of each fill.
• Puff count per bottle: as a rough guide, 1ml of nic salt in a pod kit lasts somewhere around 150 to 250 puffs depending on draw length and wattage. That puts a 10ml bottle in the region of 1,500 to 2,500 puffs. This is an estimate based on typical pod use, not a measured figure for this specific bottle.

For comparison, the old 2ml pre-filled disposables were usually marketed at around 600 puffs. A 10ml bottle therefore covers the equivalent of roughly three to four of those, and you keep the device. Real-world numbers vary with how hard you draw, how long each puff lasts, and whether your device is regulated or draws fixed power from the battery.

A final point on performance: nic salts are designed for low-wattage vaping. If you push 20mg liquid through a high-power device, you get more vapour, more heat and a much larger nicotine dose per puff, which is neither pleasant nor sensible. Stay within the power range your pod or coil is rated for.

Bottle design, build quality and UK rules

The bottle is a standard 10ml soft plastic dropper-style bottle with a narrow nozzle, which is the format UK rules require for nicotine liquid. Under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016, refill bottles are capped at 10ml, nicotine strength is capped at 20mg/ml, and bottles must carry a child-resistant, tamper-evident closure. Elux Nic Salts follow that format, so the cap needs a firm press-and-turn to open. That is an annoyance when you are in a hurry and a genuine safeguard if you have children or pets in the house.

Build quality points worth checking when your bottle arrives:

• Seal: the tamper ring should be intact. If it is broken on delivery, do not use the bottle and contact the shop.
• Label: it should list the nicotine strength, flavour, batch number, ingredients and the required health warning. Keep the batch number in case of a query.
• Nozzle: the thin tip should fit into the fill port of most pod cartridges without forcing. If a pod has a wide silicone bung, you may need to pull it out first.
• Squeezability: the plastic is soft enough to give a controlled drip. Squeeze gently and release slowly to avoid air gulping back into the bottle.

Storage. Keep the bottle upright, capped, and away from heat and direct sunlight. A cupboard or drawer at room temperature is ideal. Heat and light break down flavour compounds and can darken the liquid, and a bottle left in a hot car will leak or taste off. Store it well out of reach of children and pets. Nicotine liquid is toxic if swallowed or if it gets on the skin in quantity, so wash any spills off promptly with soap and water.

Age and ID. You must be 18 or over to buy nicotine vaping products in the UK. Expect age verification at checkout and possibly on delivery.

Recycling. Empty bottles are small plastic items that should not go loose in household recycling until they are completely empty and dry. Check your local council guidance, because rules vary. Any vape device with a battery, including rechargeable pod kits, counts as electrical waste and should be taken to a WEEE drop-off point, a household waste recycling centre, or a retailer take-back scheme. Many UK vape shops and supermarkets now accept used batteries and devices. Never put a lithium battery in your general bin.

Devices that suit this liquid, battery and charging

Elux Nic Salts Apple Peach is liquid only, so the battery and charging you rely on belong to the device you put it in. Because nic salts are designed for low power, they suit the compact refillable pod kits that have largely replaced disposables. Typical devices in this category use batteries of roughly 400mAh to 1,000mAh, charge over USB-C, and either draw a fixed output or let you choose between a couple of power levels.

Choosing a device for 20mg nic salt:

• Refillable pod kits (the usual home for nic salts): small, simple, usually with 2ml pods and coils in the 0.6 to 1.2 ohm range
• Slim pen-style kits: a little more battery and sometimes adjustable airflow
• Small tank kits with mesh coils: work as long as the coil is rated for low wattage and the airflow can be tightened

Avoid large sub-ohm tanks and box mods. They are built for high wattage and thin, low-nicotine liquid. Running 20mg salt through one produces too much heat, too much vapour and far too much nicotine per puff.

Battery and charging tips that apply to almost any pod device you pair with this bottle:

• Charge with the cable supplied, or a decent USB-C cable, from a standard 5V wall adapter or a computer port. Avoid cheap unbranded fast chargers.
• Do not charge unattended or overnight on a bed or sofa. Lithium cells are safe in normal use, but a damaged or poorly made charger is the usual cause of problems.
• A small pod battery of around 400mAh to 500mAh typically charges in 30 to 60 minutes. Larger cells of 800mAh to 1,000mAh take 60 to 90 minutes. Check your device manual for its own figure.
• Expect one charge to cover a day or more of light to moderate use. Heavier vaping will mean a top-up every evening.
• Do not use a device with a swollen, hot or damaged battery. Stop charging it and take it to a recycling point.

Remember that battery life and charge time are properties of the hardware, not the liquid. If you are choosing a new device mainly to use with this bottle, look for a regulated output, a screen or LED battery indicator, and replacement pods that are easy to buy in the UK so you are not stuck when a coil wears out.

Coil and mesh compatibility

The coil is where liquid turns to vapour, and choosing the right one matters more than any other part of the setup. Nic salts are thin enough to flow through most coils, but they are intended for resistance values of roughly 0.6 ohm to 1.2 ohm run at low power, typically somewhere between 8W and 20W. Within that window Apple Peach tastes clean, the throat hit stays smooth, and the nicotine dose per puff is sensible.

The coil types you will meet:

• Mesh coils: a flat sheet of fine metal mesh gives a larger heating area and more even vaporisation than a wire. In a pod kit a 0.8 to 1.0 ohm mesh coil usually delivers fuller flavour from fruit blends and warms up quickly. This is the format we would suggest for Apple Peach if you are choosing a new device.
• Ceramic coils: found in many closed pods. They are good at keeping flavour consistent and generally cope well with sweeter liquids, though they can feel slightly less vivid on fruit.
• Traditional wire coils: fine at 1.0 to 1.5 ohm for gentle mouth-to-lung vaping, but they can overheat a sweet liquid if you push the power.

Sweeteners in fruit liquids caramelise on the coil over time. Expect a mesh or wire coil to last somewhere between one and two weeks in daily use before the flavour dulls or starts to taste faintly burnt. Ceramic coils can run a little longer. If you vape at the top of your device's power range, coils wear faster.

A few ways to extend coil life when using this bottle:

• Prime a new coil by dripping a little liquid directly onto the cotton and letting it sit for five minutes before the first puff.
• Take steady draws of two to three seconds rather than long, hard ones. Chain vaping does not give the cotton time to refill.
• Do not let the pod run empty. A dry coil burns instantly and can ruin the next fill.
• If your device has adjustable power, start at the low end of the coil's rated range.

If your device uses a 0.3 ohm or lower sub-ohm coil, this liquid is the wrong choice regardless of how appealing the flavour sounds. The high wattage and wide airflow suit a lower-nicotine freebase juice, not a 20mg salt.

Nicotine strength guidance: is 20mg right for you

20mg/ml is the maximum strength allowed in the UK. It is not automatically the correct choice. Choosing too high a strength leads to nausea, headaches, dizziness, jitteriness and a harsh throat hit. Choosing too low leaves you unsatisfied and often means you end up vaping more, or going back to cigarettes.

As a very rough starting point, based on how much you smoke or have previously vaped:

• Around 10 or more cigarettes a day, or heavy use of high-strength pods: 20mg nic salt is a reasonable starting point.
• Around 5 to 10 cigarettes a day, or you want a lighter hit: 10mg nic salt is often enough. If you are unsure, try the lower strength first.
• Social smoker or occasional vaper: 10mg or lower freebase is more appropriate than 20mg.
• Non-smoker and never used nicotine: do not start vaping. Nicotine is addictive and there is no benefit in beginning.

Signs that 20mg is too strong for you include feeling light-headed after a few puffs, a racing heart, an uncomfortably harsh throat, or needing to stop and wait between draws. Signs that it might be too weak include taking many more puffs than you used to smoke, craving soon after vaping, or still reaching for cigarettes in the evening. Adjust gradually, and give a new strength several days to settle before deciding.

A few other points on strength:

• Do not mix strengths without working out the maths. Mixing 10ml of 20mg salt with 10ml of 10mg salt gives 15mg, but diluting with unflavoured base reduces flavour as well.
• Nicotine salts carry more nicotine per puff than freebase at the same strength, so do not match a number you used with freebase to a salt directly.
• If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a heart condition or take regular medication, speak to a GP, pharmacist or local stop smoking service before using nicotine products.

The NHS offers free stop smoking support, and many local services will supply vape starter kits on referral. If your aim is to quit nicotine entirely, a stepped plan that reduces strength over time is usually more manageable than stopping suddenly.

Who it is for, and who should skip it

Apple Peach at 20mg suits a fairly specific group. It is useful to be clear on this because a bottle that is wrong for you is wasted money and, in the case of nicotine, a poor experience that does not need to happen.

It is a good fit if you:

• Smoke daily or have recently switched from cigarettes and need a decent nicotine hit from a small, discreet device
• Already use a refillable pod kit with 0.6 to 1.2 ohm coils and want a fruit flavour that is not menthol-heavy
• Are replacing a disposable vape and want to keep a similar fruity taste at lower cost per puff
• Like sweet, juicy flavours rather than tobacco, dessert or heavy candy blends
• Prefer mouth-to-lung vaping with a snug draw

You should look elsewhere if you:

• Have never smoked or vaped. Nicotine is addictive, and vaping is meant for adult smokers who want to quit, not for starting a habit.
• Are under 18. It is illegal to sell nicotine products to anyone under 18 in the UK.
• Use a large sub-ohm tank, a box mod or any device running above roughly 25W. Pick a lower-strength freebase liquid instead.
• Dislike sweet liquids. Apple Peach is a sweet fruit blend and will taste cloying if you prefer dry or tart profiles.
• Are sensitive to nicotine. Try a lower strength, such as a 10mg nic salt, before committing to 20mg.
• Want a cooling finish. This flavour has no Ice or menthol listed in its name.

Another group who might skip this bottle is people who value convenience above everything else. A refillable device needs filling, coil changes and occasional cleaning. If you want a completely maintenance-free product, a pre-filled pod system with sealed cartridges may suit you better, although you will pay more per millilitre for that convenience.

Finally, anyone who is pregnant or has a heart or blood pressure condition should take advice from a healthcare professional rather than relying on a product page. Vaping is far less harmful than smoking, according to Public Health England and the NHS, but it is not risk free.

How to fill, prime and use it

Refilling a pod kit takes about a minute once you have done it a few times. Follow these steps with a fresh bottle of Elux Nic Salts Apple Peach and a compatible refillable pod or tank.

• 1. Switch the device off. If it has a power button, press it five times or use the lock mode so it cannot fire while you fill.
• 2. Remove the pod. Pull it straight out. Hold it upright so it does not leak from the mouthpiece.
• 3. Open the fill port. Most pods use a silicone bung on the side or bottom. Lift it with a fingernail or the tip of a pen.
• 4. Open the bottle. Press down and turn the child-resistant cap. Keep the bottle upright so the liquid sits at the bottom.
• 5. Fill slowly. Put the nozzle into the fill port and squeeze gently, aiming for about 80 to 90 per cent of the pod. Do not fill to the brim, and avoid squirting into the central airflow tube.
• 6. Close the port. Press the silicone bung firmly back into place and wipe any spilt liquid off the pod.
• 7. Wait for five to ten minutes. This gives the cotton time to soak. It prevents dry hits, which burn the coil.
• 8. Reinsert the pod. Push it fully home. Take two or three gentle draws without pressing the button, if your device is draw-activated.

Once it is filled, use short, steady draws of two to three seconds. Inhale into your mouth first, hold the vapour for a moment and then breathe in to your lungs. This mouth-to-lung method suits tighter airflow and nic salt strength. A gentle, lower-power vape is more satisfying than a hard, rapid one.

Everyday habits that help:

• Wipe the mouthpiece when it gets sticky or smells of old vapour.
• Top up when the pod is about a quarter full rather than waiting for it to run dry.
• Keep the device upright when carrying it so liquid does not pool in the airflow channel.
• Wash your hands after filling, particularly before touching your eyes or food.
• Rinse the empty bottle nozzle with warm water once it is empty if you intend to recycle it, then let it dry.

If you swap between flavours in the same pod, rinse and dry it first or replace the coil. Otherwise tastes carry over and neither flavour will be accurate.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with refillable devices are about wicking, coil age and filling technique rather than anything wrong with the liquid. These are the issues we see most often and the fixes that usually work.

• Burnt or acrid taste: the coil is usually dry or worn. Replace the pod or coil, prime it properly, and stop taking back-to-back long draws.
• Weak or washed-out flavour: this is often vaper's tongue after several days of the same fruit flavour. Switch to another flavour for a day, drink water and give your palate a rest. If a fresh coil does not help, the problem is more likely to be the palate than the liquid.
• Gurgling noise: too much liquid has pooled in the airflow channel. Blow gently through the mouthpiece with the pod removed, wipe it dry and fill slightly less next time.
• Leaking from the pod or device: the bung may not be seated, the pod may be cracked, or you have overfilled. Re-seat the bung, wipe the contacts and leave the device upright. Replace the pod if the crack is visible.
• Dry hit even though the pod is full: usually an unprimed coil, or liquid too cold from storage. Let the bottle reach room temperature and wait longer after filling.
• Sticky bottle: a bit of liquid on the nozzle is normal. Wipe it with a tissue and keep the cap on tight.
• Throat hit feels harsh: try shorter draws, lower power or a lower nicotine strength. Overly high power on a 20mg salt makes the throat hit sharper.
• Headache, dizziness or nausea: you may have taken too much nicotine. Put the device down, take fresh air and drink water. If it keeps happening, move to a lower strength.
• Device will not fire: check the battery charge, make sure the pod is seated correctly, and clean the metal contacts with a dry cotton bud.
• Liquid has darkened: a slight change in colour over weeks is normal for nic salts, especially when exposed to light or warmth. If it smells off or tastes strongly different, stop using it and contact us.

If none of these resolve the issue, note the batch number from the label and the device model, and get in touch. A short, specific description helps us identify whether it is a bottle fault, a device problem or a mismatch between the two.

Value for money and how long a bottle lasts

Cost per puff is where refillable vaping beats disposables. A pre-filled disposable carried a fixed amount of liquid, usually 2ml, and was thrown away along with its battery. A 10ml bottle gives you five times that liquid, the device is reused, and the bottle itself costs a fraction of a single multipack of disposables.

A simple way to think about it:

• Volume: 10ml of liquid, enough to fill a typical 2ml pod around four to five times with a little margin for spills
• Typical daily use: a light to moderate user might get through 1ml to 2ml a day. That gives roughly five to ten days from one bottle
• Heavy use: a smoker moving across from 15 to 20 cigarettes a day might use 3ml or more, so a bottle could last three or four days
• Add-ons: budget for replacement pods or coils roughly every one to two weeks, since these are what really determine your running cost

When you compare prices, work in pence per millilitre rather than price per bottle, and include coils. A cheap bottle needing frequent coil changes because of poor wicking can cost more than a slightly pricier bottle with predictable behaviour. Check the live price on this page, as promotional prices and multi-buy offers change regularly.

On value, there are a few honest caveats. Nic salt liquid is more expensive per millilitre than freebase, but you use less of it because the strength is higher. If you buy several bottles at once, you save on postage and often on per-unit price. Do not stockpile more than you will use in a few months, since flavour fades over a long storage period even when sealed and kept in a cool dark place.

Compared with cigarettes, vaping is usually considerably cheaper. A pack-a-day smoker spends well over £4,000 a year on tobacco at current UK prices, while a regular vaper with a pod kit typically spends a few hundred pounds. Those figures vary by individual, but the direction is clear. If you are switching to cut costs and health risk, a refillable system with a 10ml bottle like this one is a sound way to do it.

How it compares with other options

Plenty of nic salt brands sell 10ml fruit liquids at 10mg and 20mg, so it is fair to ask where Elux Nic Salts Apple Peach sits in the field. We would rather be accurate than flattering, so here is a straightforward comparison on the things that matter in everyday use.

• Against other Elux nic salt flavours: Apple Peach is a quieter, sweeter fruit than the berry-and-ice flavours in the range. If you like cooling blends, you will probably prefer an Ice variant. If you want something less sharp, Apple Peach is a sensible alternative.
• Against other mainstream fruit salts such as IVG, Hayati or Nasty: all of these brands make competent 10ml 20mg salts, and the main difference is flavour balance rather than technical quality. Some competitors lean more heavily on sweetness, others are drier. It is a matter of taste, so smaller or sample sizes are a low-cost way to find out.
• Against pre-filled pod systems: sealed pods are tidier and quicker but cost more per millilitre and lock you into one brand. A bottle is cheaper and more flexible, but needs filling.
• Against freebase e-liquid: freebase at 3mg to 6mg is better for sub-ohm devices and big clouds. It suits lower nicotine needs and people who like a rougher throat hit. Salts are better for compact kits and quick satisfaction.
• Against disposables: these are no longer legally sold in the UK, so the comparison is mainly historical. Refillable kits cost less over time, produce less waste and let you choose the flavour you want.

Where the product is genuinely limited: it is a single fruit flavour in a single strength option on this page, it will not suit high-power devices, and its sweetness may be too much for some people. It is also a nicotine product, which means it carries risks and is only right for adults who currently use nicotine.

If you are shopping around, compare the things that can actually be measured: bottle size, strength, VG/PG ratio, price per millilitre, batch labelling and the shop's returns policy. Do not rely on star ratings alone, since fruit flavours are subjective. A reliable retailer will answer questions about storage dates and batch numbers, and will have clear delivery and age-verification processes. That is the sort of detail that tells you how seriously a seller takes the UK rules, and it matters more than a slogan on the label.
