Elux Nic Salts 20mg Blueberry Sour Raspberry: what you are buying

Elux Nic Salts 20mg Blueberry Sour Raspberry is a 10ml bottle of nicotine salt e-liquid made for refillable pod kits and other low-power mouth-to-lung devices. Elux is a name most UK vapers know from its ready-made disposable range, and this bottle takes the same fruit-forward flavour thinking into a format you can refill again and again. The flavour is built around ripe blueberry, a sharp sour edge and a raspberry finish, and the nicotine is a nicotine salt at 20mg/ml, which is the highest strength that can legally be sold in the UK.

The product sits in a specific niche. It is not a shortfill, it is not meant for high-wattage sub-ohm tanks, and it is not a disposable. It is a small, concentrated, smooth-hitting liquid for people who want a satisfying nicotine delivery from a compact pod device without the throat harshness that freebase nicotine can bring at the same strength.

Since the UK ban on single-use vapes came into force in June 2025, a lot of adult smokers and vapers who used to buy a new disposable every few days have moved to refillable pod kits. A 10ml bottle like this one is the other half of that switch. One bottle holds 200mg of nicotine in total (10ml multiplied by 20mg/ml), and it can be poured into a pod several times, which gives a similar flavour experience over a longer period and with far less waste going in the bin.

On this page we cover how the flavour behaves, what hardware suits it, how strong it will feel, how long a bottle tends to last, how to fill and troubleshoot your pod, and where it makes sense compared with other products. We have written it as a buyer's guide rather than a sales pitch, so you will also find a clear section on who should skip it.

Important: nicotine is addictive. This product is intended for adult smokers and existing vapers only. If you do not currently use nicotine, do not start.

Specifications at a glance

Here are the headline figures for this bottle. Where a detail can vary by batch, we say so and point you to the label on your bottle, which is always the final word.

• Brand: Elux
• Product type: nicotine salt e-liquid, not a disposable device
• Flavour: Blueberry Sour Raspberry
• Bottle size: 10ml, the maximum permitted size for nicotine e-liquid bottles in the UK
• Nicotine strength: 20mg/ml (2%), the UK legal maximum
• Total nicotine in the bottle: 200mg
• Nicotine type: nicotine salt, which pairs the nicotine with an acid so it stays smooth at higher strengths
• VG/PG base: nic salt liquids in this style are typically a balanced blend around 50/50; check your label for the exact ratio
• Suited to: pod kits and low-wattage devices, roughly 8W to 25W, with coil resistance from about 0.6 ohm to 1.2 ohm
• Not suited to: high-wattage sub-ohm tanks or any device that runs above roughly 30W
• Closure: child-resistant, tamper-evident cap with a narrow nozzle for filling pods

A little arithmetic helps put these figures in context. A typical refillable pod holds about 2ml of liquid. At 20mg/ml, a full pod therefore contains around 40mg of nicotine, and a 10ml bottle covers roughly five fills of that size. In practice you will usually get four to five once you allow for the small amount that stays in the nozzle and the occasional drip. Heavier users will get through a bottle in about a week; lighter users can stretch it to two weeks or more.

The 10ml size and the 20mg/ml ceiling are not marketing choices, they are set by UK law. The same rules limit refillable tank capacity to 2ml, which is why pod kits and small tanks are built the way they are. If you see a nicotine-containing product claiming a stronger strength or a bigger bottle, it is not a legitimate UK-market product.

Flavour profile: blueberry, sour and raspberry

The name tells you most of what you need to know, but the way the flavours layer is worth describing. This is a sweet-and-sharp fruit profile rather than a soft, creamy or dessert-style liquid. Here are the notes most people pick up, roughly in the order they arrive on the inhale and exhale.

• Ripe blueberry: the lead note. It reads as juicy, slightly jammy blueberry rather than a dry, perfumed one.
• Dark berry skin: a faint, slightly bitter depth behind the sweetness that stops the blueberry tasting flat.
• Sour tang: a sharp, mouth-puckering edge, similar to the sour dusting on fruit sweets. It is clearest at the start of the puff.
• Red raspberry: a brighter, lighter berry that takes over on the exhale and gives the profile its tartness.
• Syrupy sweetness: a moderate sweetener level that rounds off the sour notes without turning the liquid sticky.
• Candy finish: a lingering, sweet-shop aftertaste that fades over several seconds.

If you have tried the matching Elux disposable flavour, the liquid will feel familiar. Bottled salts usually taste a little cleaner and less compressed than a pre-filled disposable, partly because you control the wattage and partly because a fresh coil at a sensible power setting does not scorch the flavour compounds.

Wattage changes the flavour. At lower power (around 8W to 12W) the blueberry and sour notes dominate and the raspberry stays quiet. At a medium setting (12W to 18W) all three notes balance. Push beyond that and the sweetness caramelises on the coil, the sour edge flattens, and you lose the contrast that makes this flavour work.

Sour flavours and your tongue. Sour profiles are typically built with fruit acids. Some vapers find these a touch sharp on the tongue after a long session. If that happens, switch to a plain flavour for a few puffs, drink some water, and consider dropping the wattage slightly.

This is not a menthol or ice flavour, and we do not describe it as cooling. If you want a chilled version of the same idea, look for a separate iced variant instead of expecting that from this bottle.

Nicotine strength guidance: is 20mg the right choice?

In the UK, the legal limit for nicotine in vaping products is 20mg/ml. That cap applies to e-liquid, to refill pods, and to the disposables that were sold before the single-use ban. This bottle sits exactly at that limit, which means no nicotine salt sold here can be stronger. Maximum strength does not mean right for everyone, so use the guidance below to decide.

• Heavier smokers (roughly 15 or more cigarettes a day, or someone who smokes within 30 minutes of waking): 20mg salt is the usual starting point in a pod kit, because it delivers enough nicotine per puff to curb cravings without huge volumes of vapour.
• Moderate smokers (roughly 8 to 14 a day): 20mg can work in a low-power device, but many people are more comfortable with 10mg salt, especially if they take long draws.
• Light smokers or social smokers: 20mg is likely stronger than you need. A lower strength is gentler and easier to control.
• Existing vapers stepping down: if you vape often and want to reduce, you can move from 20mg to 10mg over a few weeks and see how your cravings respond.

Salts are stronger than they feel. Because a nicotine salt is smoother than freebase, the throat hit at 20mg is deceptively mild. It is easy to take bigger and more frequent puffs than you would at 20mg freebase and end up with a higher nicotine intake than expected. Signs that you have had too much include dizziness, nausea, a racing heart, a headache or a clammy feeling. If any of these happen, stop vaping, sit down, drink water and eat something. Choose a lower strength next time.

Do not use 20mg salts in a sub-ohm tank. High-power devices push far more liquid and nicotine per puff than a pod kit does. At the power levels used for sub-ohm clouds, a 20mg salt becomes unpleasant and the nicotine load is unnecessarily high. Use low-nicotine freebase liquid in that kind of device instead.

If your aim is to stop nicotine altogether, the NHS stop smoking services offer free, clinically supported help, and licensed nicotine replacement products are available alongside it. A vape is one tool, not the only one.

Performance, throat hit and how many puffs a bottle gives you

A salt at 20mg/ml performs differently from a freebase liquid with the same number on the label. Nicotine salts are absorbed faster and feel smoother in the throat, which is why they have become the standard for pod kits. With Blueberry Sour Raspberry, expect a moderate, noticeable throat hit that is softer than a 20mg freebase would give, with a light, cushioned vapour rather than a thick, hot one. The sour note adds a little bite on top, so the overall impression is crisp rather than creamy.

How many puffs? A bottle has no printed puff rating the way a disposable does, because the figure depends on your device, your wattage and your habits. A rough guide for mouth-to-lung pod use is that each puff uses between about 0.005ml and 0.01ml of liquid. On that basis, a 10ml bottle works out at roughly 1,000 to 2,000 puffs.

For comparison, a legal 2ml disposable was usually marketed at around 600 puffs. By the same marketing arithmetic, a 10ml bottle holds the liquid of about five of them, or around 3,000 labelled puffs. Real-world puff counts are usually lower than the numbers printed on packaging, so treat the 1,000 to 2,000 range as the more realistic estimate.

What changes your usage:

• Wattage: higher power vaporises more liquid per second.
• Puff length: a four-second draw uses roughly double what a two-second draw does.
• Coil age: a worn coil often needs more power to give the same flavour, which burns through liquid faster.
• Pod size: larger pods let you vape longer between fills but do not change the amount of liquid used per puff.
• Chain-vaping: back-to-back puffs without a pause heat the coil and can use up liquid quickly.

Realistic daily use. A light user takes around 100 to 150 puffs a day and may make a bottle last two weeks. A moderate user takes 150 to 300 puffs and will typically finish a bottle in 5 to 10 days. A heavy user can go through one in 3 to 4 days.

Flavour over time. The sweet-and-sour profile can mellow as a coil ages. If the blueberry starts to taste muted after a week or two, change the coil rather than assuming the liquid has gone off.

Coil and mesh technology: matching the liquid to your device

Because this is a liquid, the coil that vaporises it sits in your device, not in the bottle. That makes coil choice the single biggest factor in how Blueberry Sour Raspberry tastes. Nic salts work best in low-power, higher-resistance coils, and the sweet-sour balance here rewards a coil that heats evenly.

Mesh coils. A mesh coil uses a flat screen of fine metal with a large surface area. It heats quickly and evenly, which brings out layered flavours like blueberry plus raspberry plus sour. Mesh pod coils at around 0.8 ohm are widely used with salts and handle roughly 12W to 18W comfortably.

Round-wire and ceramic coils. Standard wire coils at 1.0 to 1.2 ohm suit tight, cigarette-style draws at 8W to 12W. Ceramic coils are valued for heat stability and clean flavour, but they can wick slowly if you run too much power, so keep them in the range the manufacturer recommends.

• 1.0 to 1.2 ohm: tight draw, lower vapour, the closest feel to a cigarette. Typically 8W to 12W. Good for heavier smokers who want a firm hit.
• 0.8 ohm: a balanced middle ground with more flavour and vapour. Typically 12W to 16W.
• 0.6 ohm: airier, warmer, more vapour. Typically 15W to 22W. At 20mg/ml this setting delivers a lot of nicotine per puff, so go carefully.

Popular refillable pod systems from brands such as Vaporesso, Oxva, Voopoo, Uwell and Geekvape all use coils that handle salts well. This bottle does not need Elux hardware; any pod or small tank that accepts 10ml-bottle liquid and is rated for nic salts will work.

Priming a new coil. Dry coils burn. After fitting a new coil or pod, fill it and wait at least five to ten minutes so the cotton or ceramic soaks through. Then take a few gentle, short draws before using the device normally. This one step prevents most early burnt tastes.

Coil lifespan. Sweet liquids leave residue on a coil faster than plain or tobacco ones. Expect a coil to last about one to two weeks with this flavour, and replace it sooner if the taste turns dull or harsh.

Design and build quality of the bottle

The bottle is a standard 10ml soft plastic dropper-style bottle with a long, narrow nozzle. That nozzle is the most useful part of the design: it fits into the filling ports of most pod devices without needing a funnel. The plastic is squeezable, so you can control the flow with gentle pressure.

The cap is a child-resistant, tamper-evident closure, as UK rules require. A tamper ring should be intact when you open a new bottle; if it is broken or missing, do not use the liquid and contact us. The label carries the mandatory health warning that nicotine is a highly addictive substance, along with the ingredient list, nicotine strength, volume, batch number and contact details. Always read the label on the bottle you receive, because it is the authoritative source for the VG/PG ratio and batch information.

Honest drawbacks. Soft plastic bottles are easy to over-squeeze, and a small drip on the nozzle is common after filling. Wipe the tip with a clean tissue before closing the cap. The label is printed rather than embossed, so heavy handling in a bag or pocket can scuff it, though this does not affect the liquid.

Storage.

• Keep the bottle upright, in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat.
• Do not leave it in a car in warm weather.
• Keep it well out of reach of children and pets. Liquid nicotine is toxic if swallowed or if it touches the skin for long periods.
• Check for a best-before date on the label. Liquid kept sealed and stored properly typically keeps its flavour for a year or more.
• Sweet liquids may darken slightly over time. That is normal and does not usually indicate a problem, but if the smell or taste changes sharply, do not use it.

Recycling. Empty bottles, used pods and spent coils should not go in your general household bin. Let any remaining liquid dry out, then take the empty bottle to a vape shop recycling point or your local household waste recycling centre, as rules vary between councils. Batteries and any device containing them must always go to a battery or WEEE drop-off point, never in general waste, because damaged lithium cells are a fire risk in refuse lorries and recycling plants.

Battery and charging on the device you pair it with

A bottle of e-liquid has no battery of its own, so charging comes down to the pod kit or device you use. It is still worth covering, because the way your battery behaves affects how this liquid tastes and how long a bottle lasts.

Typical battery sizes. Most refillable pod kits use a built-in battery between about 400mAh and 1,000mAh. A 650mAh battery stores roughly 2.4Wh. At around 12W and a three-second puff (about 36 joules per puff), that comes out at something like 200 to 250 puffs per charge once you allow for efficiency losses. A 1,000mAh battery stretches that to roughly 300 to 370 puffs. Since a 10ml bottle gives somewhere around 1,000 to 2,000 puffs, expect a bottle to use up about five to eight charges on a 650mAh device, or around three to five on a 1,000mAh one.

• Charging port: most current kits use USB-C. It is reversible and widely compatible.
• Charge time: typically 30 to 60 minutes from empty for a 400mAh to 1,000mAh battery.
• Output behaviour: a good device holds a steady output as the battery drains. If the vapour thins out near empty, charge it rather than pushing more power through it.

Safe charging habits.

• Use the cable that came with the device, or a reputable replacement.
• Plug into a standard 5V wall adapter or a computer USB port, rather than a fast-charging brick that outputs far more than the device is designed for.
• Do not charge overnight or leave a charging device unattended on soft furnishings.
• Stop using any device that looks dented, swollen, hot to the touch or smells strange.
• Never carry a device in a pocket with keys or coins, which can short the contacts.

When you eventually retire the kit, take it to a WEEE or battery recycling point. Many UK retailers and household waste recycling centres accept them free of charge.

One last point: running a low battery in a device that does not regulate output can make the coil heat unevenly and produce a muted, slightly burnt taste. If Blueberry Sour Raspberry suddenly seems flat, check the battery before blaming the liquid.

How to fill, prime and use it

Filling a pod is simple, but a few details separate a clean experience from a leaky one. Here is a step-by-step routine that works for most pod kits.

• Step 1, prepare: wash and dry your hands, switch the device off (many kits use five quick button presses), and detach the pod or open the filling port.
• Step 2, shake gently: turn the bottle upside down once or twice to mix the liquid, then open the cap following the instructions printed on it.
• Step 3, fill: place the nozzle against the filling port and squeeze slowly. Stop at or just below the max fill line. Do not fill over the central airflow tube; if liquid gets in there, it will leak or get inhaled.
• Step 4, close up: push the plug or silicone cover back in properly and wipe away any drips from the pod and the outside of the bottle.
• Step 5, prime: reinstall the pod and leave the device standing upright for five to ten minutes so the coil can soak.
• Step 6, first puffs: switch the device on, set a low wattage if it is adjustable (start around 10W to 12W for a mesh coil), and take a few gentle, short draws before settling into your normal pattern.

Activation. Pod kits fire either by a button or by draw activation. For button-fired devices, press and hold while inhaling, with a smooth three-second draw. For draw-activated kits, simply inhale. If nothing happens, check the pod is seated properly and the battery is charged.

Technique. Nicotine salts suit a slow, gentle mouth-to-lung inhale, held briefly in the mouth before drawing into the lungs. Long, forceful draws increase liquid use and nicotine intake and can cause coughing. Take your time, and pause between puffs to let the coil re-wet.

Refill timing. Do not wait until the pod is completely dry. Top up when the liquid is down to about a quarter. Running a coil dry is the quickest way to kill it and it will make the next fill taste burnt.

Do not mix. Avoid pouring this liquid into a pod that still has a different flavour in it, as the result is rarely pleasant and the mixed residue can speed up coil gunk. Either empty and rinse the pod, or swap in a fresh one.

When you finish, put the cap back on firmly and store the bottle upright.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most issues with a bottle of liquid like this one turn out to be device problems rather than liquid problems. Here are the most common ones and what usually fixes them.

• Gurgling or spitting: the coil is flooded or there is condensation in the airflow path. Remove the pod, blow gently through the mouthpiece to clear it, wipe it dry and give the device a moment before starting again. Avoid overfilling.
• Leaking from the pod: usually caused by overfilling, a loose plug or a cracked pod. Refit the plug, wipe the pod and check for hairline cracks around the base. Replace the pod if the leak keeps happening.
• Burnt or acrid taste: the coil is dry or worn. Prime a new coil for longer, avoid chain-vaping, lower the wattage and replace the coil if the taste stays harsh.
• Flat or muted flavour: several causes. Check the battery, check the coil age, and rule out vaper's tongue by switching to a different flavour for an hour. Sweet-sour fruit liquids tend to fade on a tired coil first.
• Harsh throat hit: the wattage is too high for 20mg salt, or the draw is too long. Lower the power, shorten the puff and consider a 10mg strength if it stays rough.
• Dizziness, nausea or a racing heart: too much nicotine. Stop, sit, hydrate and eat something. Go lower in strength or take fewer, shorter puffs next time.
• Pod will not fire: check the battery, make sure the pod is clicked in fully, wipe the contacts with a dry cloth and test with a fresh pod if available.
• Sticky bottle or cap: sweet liquid can crystallise around the nozzle. Wipe it with a damp cloth, dry thoroughly and keep the cap clean.
• Coil gunk building up quickly: sweet profiles leave residue, so change coils more often and avoid very high wattage settings.

If you suspect a fault with the liquid itself, such as a strange smell, separation, unusual colour or a broken tamper seal, stop using it, keep the bottle and contact us with your order number and a photo of the batch code. We will look into it.

Who it is for, and who should skip it

This liquid is aimed at a specific kind of adult customer. Here is a fair picture of who tends to get on well with it and who would be better off with something else.

It is a good fit if you:

• Are an adult smoker moving away from cigarettes and want a pod-kit-friendly strength.
• Used Elux or similar fruit-candy disposables and want a refillable alternative in a similar flavour.
• Already own a pod kit or small tank that is happy with nic salts at low power.
• Prefer a crisp, tart fruit profile to desserts, tobacco or menthol.
• Want to reduce waste compared with buying a new device every few days.

You should skip it if you:

• Are under 18. It is illegal to sell nicotine vaping products to anyone under 18 in the UK, and we verify age on orders.
• Have never smoked or vaped. There is no reason to start using nicotine.
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a heart condition, high blood pressure or another medical condition affected by nicotine. Speak to your GP or pharmacist before using any nicotine product.
• Use a high-wattage sub-ohm tank. This salt is the wrong product for that kind of device.
• Dislike sour flavours. If tart candy makes your teeth ache, a plain berry or a dessert profile will be more pleasant.
• Want a very low or zero nicotine experience. A 20mg salt is the top of the range; a lower strength or nicotine-free liquid is more appropriate.
• Do not want to handle liquid. Refilling means dealing with bottles, drips and coil changes. If that sounds like a chore, a pre-filled pod system may be easier, though check what is sold legally.

If you are trying to quit nicotine entirely, free NHS stop smoking support and licensed nicotine replacement products may serve you better than continuing with a vape long term. Vaping is less harmful than smoking, but it is not risk-free.

Value for money and honest comparisons

Judging value on a 10ml nic salt means looking at three things: the price per ml, how long a bottle lasts, and what extra running costs you take on. Work out price per ml by dividing the shelf price by ten. Because the bottle fills roughly five pods and delivers somewhere around 1,000 to 2,000 puffs, the cost per day for a moderate user typically comes out far lower than buying a new single-use device every few days, which is no longer an option in the UK anyway.

Running costs to include. You will need a refillable pod kit, which costs more upfront than a disposable did, and you will buy replacement coils or pods, usually a few pounds each and needing a swap every one to two weeks. Factor those in rather than only counting the bottle price.

Against other 10ml nic salt lines. Fair comparisons are worth making.

• Pod Salt: a long-running range with a broad menu and a reputation for clean, simple flavours. If you want plain classics or a wide choice of strengths, it is a strong alternative.
• Dinner Lady Salt: leans towards dessert and lemon-tart profiles, with a house style that favours richer, sweeter notes than this bottle.
• IVG Salts: a large range with many fruit and ice flavours at competitive prices, a good fit if you want variety and frequent offers.
• Elfliq and similar disposable-brand salts: aimed at the same ex-disposable audience and similar candy-fruit tastes. Differences come down to individual flavour recipes, so compare the specific flavours rather than the brands.

Where Elux makes sense is familiarity: if you liked its disposable flavours, this bottle reproduces the idea in a refillable form. Where other lines may suit you better is breadth or house style. If you want a huge menu, dessert flavours or tobacco profiles, another range may be the better match.

Against shortfills. Freebase shortfills in 50ml bottles are cheaper per ml, but they need a sub-ohm tank and a mixing step, and they produce a different experience. They do not suit pod kits at all.

Against licensed nicotine replacement. Patches, gum and lozenges serve a different purpose. They are medicinal products with clinical evidence behind them for quitting, whereas a vape is a consumer product and should be treated as a switch from smoking rather than a treatment.

Overall, the value case is solid for adult smokers who already own compatible hardware and like sour fruit flavours. For everyone else, the right choice depends on device and taste more than price.
