Overview: Elux Nic Salts 20mg Blueberry Bubblegum

Elux Nic Salts 20mg Blueberry Bubblegum is a 10ml bottle of nicotine salt e-liquid made for refillable pod kits and low-wattage mouth-to-lung devices. It combines a ripe blueberry note with a sweet, pink bubblegum finish and is supplied at 20mg/ml (2%) nicotine strength, which is the legal maximum for e-liquid sold in the UK. The 10ml bottle size is also the legal ceiling for nicotine e-liquid here, so you will not find a larger bottle of this liquid from a UK seller.

Elux is a brand most UK vapers know through its disposable range. The nic salt line takes the same flavour-first approach and moves it into a format where you choose the hardware, control the refill schedule and keep the running cost down. If you have been using disposables and want something you can refill rather than throw away, a bottle like this is the usual next step.

The key facts at a glance:

• Product: Elux Nic Salts, Blueberry Bubblegum flavour
• Nicotine strength: 20mg/ml nicotine salt (2%)
• Bottle size: 10ml, the UK maximum for nicotine e-liquid
• Typical base: a balanced VG/PG blend of the kind used in pod systems; always confirm the exact ratio printed on the bottle you receive
• Suited hardware: refillable pod kits and mouth-to-lung devices with coil resistance of roughly 0.6 to 1.2 ohm
• Flavour family: fruit and candy, sweet rather than sharp
• Age restriction: 18 or over only, with age checks on delivery

This guide covers how the liquid tastes, how it behaves at 20mg, which devices suit it, how long a bottle lasts and how it stacks up against other options. It is written as a buying guide rather than a sales pitch, so it also says plainly who should look elsewhere.

Nicotine is addictive. This product is for adult smokers and existing vapers who want an alternative to cigarettes. If you do not currently smoke or vape, do not start.

Flavour Profile: Blueberry Meets Bubblegum

The flavour is built around two ideas that sit comfortably together: a fruit note and a candy note. On the inhale, the blueberry comes first. It reads as a sweet, slightly jammy blueberry rather than a tart or sour one, closer to blueberry sweets or a blueberry yoghurt than to a handful of fresh berries. There is a mild darker, almost grape-like undertone that this type of blueberry flavouring usually carries.

As the vapour settles on the tongue, the bubblegum arrives. Expect the pink, fruity, slightly vanilla-sweet character of classic chewing gum rather than a minty one. It is a soft sweetness rather than a sharp one, and it lingers on the lips and the back of the tongue after you exhale. Many people describe the exhale as mostly bubblegum with the blueberry fading into the background.

This is not a cooling flavour. There is no menthol or ice component, so the vapour is neutral to slightly warm. That matters if you are used to ice-heavy flavours, because the sweetness is more noticeable without a cooling note to cut through it.

A few honest observations on the flavour:

• It is sweet. If you prefer dry, tobacco-style or lightly fruity liquids, this will feel too sugary.
• It is gentle. Neither note is sharp or sour, so it suits people who find acidic fruit flavours unpleasant.
• The gum note is the signature. Without it, this would be an ordinary blueberry liquid; the bubblegum is what separates it.
• It can fatigue the palate. Sweet flavours sometimes flatten after a few days of constant use, an effect often called vaper's tongue. Rotating with a second flavour helps.

If you enjoy this style, you may also want to look at other flavour families that are commonly found across UK nic salt ranges, including blue raspberry, strawberry ice, watermelon ice, cherry cola, mixed berry, grape and peach. Elux releases and reformulates variants from time to time, so check the Elux nic salts collection for the current line-up rather than relying on a fixed list.

Performance and Throat Hit at 20mg

Nicotine salts behave differently from the freebase nicotine used in traditional e-liquids. The salt form has a lower pH, which means 20mg/ml can be inhaled with less harshness than the same strength of freebase would produce. You still get a noticeable throat hit at 20mg, but it tends to be rounded and short rather than scratchy.

In a typical pod kit running somewhere between 8 and 15 watts, you can expect the following:

• Throat hit: medium to firm. A first-time salt user may find it stronger than expected; an experienced vaper moving from 10mg will notice the step up.
• Nicotine delivery: fairly quick. Salts are absorbed faster than freebase, which is why many smokers find they satisfy cravings with only a few puffs.
• Vapour production: moderate. Low-wattage pod systems produce compact clouds, which is part of the appeal for discreet use.
• Flavour intensity: clear and sweet at lower wattage, with the blueberry more obvious on short, cool puffs and the bubblegum building on longer, warmer ones.

Because the nicotine is delivered efficiently, you do not need long or frequent draws. A common mistake with salts is vaping them as if they were a 3mg sub-ohm liquid, taking big lungfuls at high power. That produces far more nicotine in a short time than most people want, and it is the main reason new users report dizziness or nausea.

Draw style matters. A slow, tight mouth-to-lung puff of two to three seconds, held briefly and then inhaled, gives the most controlled hit. If your device has an adjustable airflow ring, start with it mostly closed, then open it slightly if the throat hit feels too sharp.

Consistency across the bottle is generally good. Sweet liquids do tend to leave residue on the coil over time, which can slowly dull the flavour, so performance in the final third of a coil's life will not match the first few days. That is a property of the flavour style rather than a fault with the liquid itself.

Nicotine Strength Guidance: Is 20mg Right for You?

The 20mg/ml strength is the highest level permitted in UK e-liquid, and the same cap applies to refillable liquids and to the rechargeable disposable-style products that were sold before the single-use ban took effect in June 2025. A higher number is not automatically better. The right strength is the one that stops you wanting a cigarette without making you feel unwell.

As a rough guide for adult smokers:

• 20mg/ml: usually suits people who smoke around ten or more cigarettes a day, or who smoke first thing in the morning and find cravings strong. It also suits those using very low-power, restricted pod devices.
• 10mg/ml: usually suits lighter smokers, social smokers, or anyone who finds 20mg too sharp. It is also a sensible step-down point if you want to reduce nicotine over time.
• Lower strengths: useful when you are close to quitting nicotine entirely, or if you vape heavily and want longer sessions with less intensity.

Signs a strength is too high include dizziness, nausea, a racing heart, headaches, sweating or a hot, shaky feeling. If this happens, stop vaping, sit down, drink some water and eat something. Next time, use a lower strength, take fewer puffs or reduce device power. Signs it is too low include chain-vaping, constant cravings and still reaching for cigarettes; in that case moving up from 10mg to 20mg is reasonable.

One important warning: never use 20mg nicotine salt in a sub-ohm or high-wattage device. Those devices are designed for low-strength freebase liquid and produce large volumes of vapour. Putting 20mg salt through them delivers a very large dose of nicotine in a short time, which is unpleasant and potentially harmful. Keep 20mg salts to pod kits and low-power mouth-to-lung setups.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a heart condition or are taking medication, speak to a pharmacist or GP before using any nicotine product. NHS stop smoking services can also give free, tailored support if you are trying to quit altogether.

Coil and Mesh Tech: Choosing a Compatible Device

Nic salt liquids are designed around low-power hardware, so the coil is the part that matters most when matching a device to this bottle. In practice, you are choosing between three coil styles.

• Standard cotton or ceramic pod coils, 0.8 to 1.2 ohm: the common choice for pod kits. They run at roughly 8 to 14 watts, give a tight mouth-to-lung draw and pair well with a 20mg salt.
• Mesh pod coils, 0.6 to 0.8 ohm: a flat mesh surface heats more evenly than a wound wire, which usually improves flavour and gives a little more vapour. They run at slightly higher power and suit people who want fuller flavour from a sweet liquid like this one.
• Sub-ohm coils, below 0.5 ohm: avoid for 20mg salt. Restricted direct-to-lung use is the exception, and only on devices specifically designed for salts.

Before you buy, check that your device has a refill port that fits the bottle tip. Most 10ml bottles in the UK use a slim nozzle that fits the small ports found on popular pod kits, but it is worth confirming with the manufacturer's guide. Some pod systems are sealed and cannot be refilled; those will not work with a bottle.

Sweet liquids contain more sugar-like compounds that caramelise on the coil. In practice that means a coil used with this flavour may last somewhere between one and three bottles, depending on your power setting and puff habits. Replace the coil when the flavour turns flat, burnt or slightly metallic, rather than waiting for it to fail completely.

When you fit a fresh coil, let it soak. After filling the pod, wait five to ten minutes so the cotton or ceramic wicking material can absorb liquid. Skipping this step causes dry hits and shortens coil life.

If you are not sure which pod kit to pair with this liquid, look for one with adjustable airflow, a USB-C port and replaceable coils. A device with an inhale-activated firing system is simplest, because there is no power button to misjudge.

Design and Build Quality of the Bottle

The packaging matters more than people expect. A bottle that leaks, sticks or opens too easily wastes liquid and creates a mess. Elux nic salts come in a 10ml squeezable plastic bottle with a slim tip, which is the standard format for UK nicotine e-liquid and the one most pod kit ports are built to accept.

What you should expect to find on a correctly supplied bottle:

• Child-resistant cap: a push-and-turn or squeeze-and-turn closure, required by UK rules for nicotine e-liquid. It takes a little practice, but it is there for a good reason.
• Tamper-evident seal: a ring or band that breaks when the cap is first opened. If it is already broken on delivery, contact the seller.
• Health warning: the statement that the product contains nicotine, which is highly addictive, printed on the label.
• Ingredients, batch number and strength: printed on the label so that you can verify what you have. Check the nicotine strength reads 20mg/ml before filling.
• Manufacturer details and notification: UK sellers must notify nicotine e-liquid products to the MHRA before sale, which is a requirement for products on the legal market.

The flexible walls let you control the flow, and the slim nozzle reduces spills. Squeeze gently, because nic salt bottles are thin and a hard squeeze can send liquid out quickly. If the tip is sealed or tight, a slight twist when opening usually frees it.

The label artwork follows the Elux style with bright colour and a fruit and gum theme. It is easy to identify, but do double-check the strength each time if you own more than one bottle of the same flavour. Mixing up 10mg and 20mg bottles is a common mistake.

To keep the liquid in good condition for longer, keep the bottle upright, capped tightly and away from heat and direct sunlight. Nicotine liquids darken slightly over time, which is normal and does not usually affect safety, though flavour can alter after many months.

Battery, Charging and Recycling for Your Device

An e-liquid bottle has no battery of its own, so battery and charging performance come from the device you use. It is still worth understanding what to expect, because the strength and flavour you choose affect how often you reach for the charger.

Most refillable pod kits have a rechargeable lithium-ion battery between roughly 400mAh and 1,000mAh, charged by a USB-C cable. At low wattage and with a 20mg salt, a mid-range pod kit generally lasts a full day of moderate use between charges. Heavier use or a higher wattage setting shortens that, and mesh coils draw slightly more power than standard coils.

Sensible charging habits:

• Use the cable supplied, or a reputable replacement, and plug into a normal USB wall adapter or computer port.
• Do not charge under a pillow, on a sofa or anywhere that traps heat.
• Do not leave a device charging unattended overnight where you can avoid it.
• Stop using any device that is swollen, hot to the touch, or has damaged casing or exposed wiring.
• Keep the charging port dry. Liquid leaking into the port can damage the device or cause a short circuit.

Charging typically takes between 30 and 90 minutes for a pod kit, depending on battery capacity and the charger.

UK vapers also have recycling responsibilities. Devices that contain batteries are electrical waste and should never go in household bins, because damaged lithium-ion cells can cause fires in collection lorries and recycling plants. Take old devices, pods and batteries to a recycling drop-off point. Many council recycling centres, supermarkets and vape retailers offer these, and under UK rules retailers selling electrical goods must provide a way to return old equipment. Empty plastic e-liquid bottles can usually be recycled with household plastics once they are completely empty and capped; check your local council guidance, as it varies by area.

Longevity and Value for Money

How long a 10ml bottle lasts depends on how you vape, which device you use and how much nicotine you need. Salts at 20mg tend to be used more sparingly than low-strength freebase, because each puff delivers more nicotine.

As a rough guide for a typical pod kit:

• Light use (a few sessions a day): around two weeks or slightly longer.
• Moderate use (replacing around ten cigarettes a day): around five to nine days.
• Heavy use (replacing a pack a day or more): around three to five days.

In puff terms, a 10ml bottle contains five times the liquid of a typical 2ml pod or disposable, so a ballpark figure is somewhere in the low thousands of puffs, depending on draw length and wattage. Treat that as an estimate rather than a promise, because real figures vary by device.

For value, think in cost per millilitre and cost per week rather than in headline price. Divide the bottle price by ten to get the cost per ml. For illustration only, a bottle priced at five pounds works out at fifty pence per ml, so ten ml costs five pounds in total. Check the current price on this page rather than relying on that example.

Compared with disposables, refillables are usually cheaper per millilitre once you have bought a starter device, and they produce much less waste. The trade-off is an upfront hardware cost and the need to buy replacement coils every few weeks. If you vape every day, the maths generally favours refillable. If you vape only occasionally, a single bottle may last long enough that you need to consider shelf life instead.

Multi-buy offers and bundles can lower the cost per bottle further. If you find a flavour you like, buying several bottles at once can be sensible, as long as you store them properly.

How to Fill, Prime and Use

Using nic salt e-liquid is straightforward, but doing it carefully avoids leaks, dry hits and wasted liquid. Follow these steps for a new pod or coil.

• Check the label. Confirm the flavour and the 20mg/ml strength, and check the tamper-evident seal is intact.
• Shake gently. A light shake mixes the contents, since the ingredients can settle slightly in storage.
• Open the bottle. Use the child-resistant mechanism, and keep it away from children and pets throughout.
• Remove the pod. Take the pod out of the device before filling, and find the refill port.
• Fill slowly. Hold the pod upright and fill in short bursts, stopping just below the maximum line. Leaving a little air stops the liquid forcing its way into the airflow channel.
• Prime the coil. Wait five to ten minutes before use so the wicking material absorbs the liquid.
• Take a gentle first puff. A few short pulls with no firing helps move liquid into the coil before you vape at normal strength.
• Reseal the bottle. Wipe the tip and close the cap fully.

For devices with a power button, start at the lowest recommended setting and raise it in small steps. If the manufacturer gives a range, begin at the lower end, because 20mg salt is already a strong hit.

Keep a sensible pace. Take a puff, wait a few seconds, and see how you feel. If you are new to salts, try a few puffs and then pause for ten minutes before going further. The nicotine from a salt arrives quickly, and it is easy to take more than you intend.

When a pod is empty, do not top up with a different flavour while old liquid remains, because the flavours mix and taste unpleasant. Run the pod almost empty, rinse and dry it if the manufacturer allows, then refill. Always store the device upright and out of reach of children.

Troubleshooting Common Problems

Most problems with refillable devices have simple fixes. Here are the ones that come up most often with sweet nic salts like this one.

• Burnt or acrid taste: usually a dry hit from an under-primed coil, a nearly empty pod, or a worn coil. Refill, wait ten minutes, and if the taste persists, replace the coil.
• Gurgling or spitting: too much liquid in the pod or condensation in the airflow channel. Wipe the mouthpiece, tilt and blow gently through the device, and avoid overfilling.
• Leaking: check that the pod is seated firmly, the fill plug is closed and the coil is properly pressed in. Cracks in the pod also cause leaks, and changing pressure on aeroplanes or high altitude can force liquid out.
• Weak or flat flavour: either the coil is nearing the end of its life or you have developed vaper's tongue. Try a different flavour for a few days, drink water and replace the coil if necessary.
• No vapour: check the battery, make sure the pod is correctly seated, clean the contacts with a dry cotton bud and check for air bubbles blocking the wick.
• Too harsh at 20mg: reduce wattage, take shorter puffs, close the airflow, or switch to the 10mg version.
• Dizziness or nausea: stop vaping and rest. This usually means too much nicotine too quickly.
• Sticky residue on the device: sweet liquids leave a film. Wipe the exterior and contacts with a dry or slightly damp cloth and let it dry fully before use.
• Cap will not open: child-resistant caps need firm pressure while turning. Read the arrows or instructions on the cap.

If a bottle seems faulty, for example it arrives with a broken seal, leaks in transit or the label does not match what you ordered, keep the packaging and contact the seller promptly with photographs. If a device misbehaves, check the manufacturer's guidance before assuming it is the liquid, because the cause is more often a coil or seating issue than the e-liquid itself.

Who It Is For, and Who Should Skip It

No single e-liquid suits everyone, and being honest about that saves you money. Here is a clear breakdown.

This is a good fit if you:

• Are an adult smoker moving away from cigarettes and need a meaningful nicotine strength.
• Currently use disposables and want a refillable alternative with lower waste.
• Enjoy sweet fruit and candy flavours rather than tobacco, menthol or dessert profiles.
• Use a low-power pod kit or mouth-to-lung device with a coil between 0.6 and 1.2 ohm.
• Prefer a smooth throat hit at a strength that gives real nicotine satisfaction.

You should look elsewhere if you:

• Do not smoke or vape. Nicotine is addictive, and a 20mg product is a strong place to start for someone with no tolerance.
• Are under 18. It is illegal to sell nicotine products to anyone under 18, and age checks apply.
• Use a sub-ohm or high-wattage device. The strength and base are wrong for that hardware.
• Dislike sweet flavours. If you like dry, tobacco or crisp mint profiles, this will feel cloying.
• Are very sensitive to nicotine. Try 10mg or lower strengths first.
• Are pregnant, breastfeeding or have heart health concerns. Seek medical advice before using any nicotine product.
• Want a bigger bottle for lower cost. UK law caps nicotine bottles at 10ml, so the only way to economise is multi-buys or a lower-cost brand.

If you are not sure whether 20mg is right for you, start with 10mg and move up only if cravings are not controlled. It is easier to step up than to cope with a strength that makes you feel unwell.

How It Compares With Other Options

Choosing between nic salt brands usually comes down to flavour, price and what device you own. Here is an honest comparison.

• Versus Elux disposables: the flavour direction is similar, but a bottle costs less per ml, produces less waste and lets you choose your own device. The trade-off is that you must buy and maintain hardware, and refilling takes a few minutes. Disposables are simpler but costlier over time, and single-use versions have been restricted in Great Britain since June 2025.
• Versus other 10ml salt brands such as Pod Salt, IVG Salts, Nasty Salt or Hayati: most operate at the same 10mg and 20mg strengths and a similar VG/PG balance, so the real difference is flavour and price. Some competitors offer a wider range of dessert, tobacco and menthol profiles, while Elux concentrates on fruit and candy. If you like a specific flavour family, pick whichever brand suits your taste and budget, and consider buying one bottle of each to compare.
• Versus Elf Bar and Lost Mary salt liquids: these brands are known for similar bright fruit flavours. They are broadly comparable in strength and bottle size, so it often comes down to which specific flavour you prefer and which is priced better on the day.
• Versus freebase liquids at 3mg or 6mg: freebase is designed for higher-power devices and larger clouds, with a different throat hit. If you like big vapour and sub-ohm hardware, freebase is the better match; if you want compact, discreet, nicotine-efficient vaping, salts win.
• Versus the same flavour at 10mg: the flavour is identical, only the nicotine strength changes. Lighter smokers and anyone who finds 20mg too sharp should choose 10mg.

Where this product stands out is its simple, approachable flavour and the convenience of a widely stocked brand. Where it is less compelling is variety, since a sweet fruit and gum profile will not appeal to everyone, and price, since some competitors run frequent multi-buy deals. None of these are dealbreakers, but they are worth weighing before you buy.

In short, this is a sensible choice if the flavour appeals, you already have a compatible pod kit and you want 20mg. If any of those three points is uncertain, test a smaller commitment first.
