Elux Nic Salts 20mg Fresh Menthol Mojito at a glance

Elux Nic Salts 20mg Fresh Menthol Mojito is a 10ml nicotine salt e-liquid built around a cooling, mint-forward mojito profile with a clean menthol finish. It is a bottled liquid rather than a ready-made disposable, which means you pour it into a refillable pod kit or a low-powered vape device and run it at a gentle wattage. Elux is a name most UK vapers know from its disposable range, and the nic salt bottles bring the same fruit, ice and menthol flavour thinking to people who prefer to refill and reuse their own hardware.

The idea behind this particular flavour is straightforward. A mojito is a mint, lime and sparkling-water style drink, so the e-liquid leans on a crisp herbal mint note, a light citrus edge and a menthol cooling layer that carries through the exhale. It is not a sweet dessert vape and it is not a heavy fruit candy. If you like drinks and flavours that finish dry, fresh and cool, this is the sort of profile you can vape through a whole afternoon without your palate getting tired of it.

The nicotine is delivered as a salt at 20mg/ml, which is the maximum strength permitted for e-liquids sold in the UK. Nicotine salts are absorbed more smoothly than freebase nicotine at the same strength, so the throat hit feels softer and the nicotine arrives faster. That is why salts suit small pod devices and low-wattage mouth-to-lung vaping so well, and why many people switching away from cigarettes find them easier to stick with than traditional freebase liquids.

On this page we cover what is actually in the bottle, how the flavour behaves, which devices pair well with it, how to fill and prime a pod correctly, how to choose between 10mg and 20mg, and where it sits against other popular salt brands. We also flag who should skip it. We have tried to stay practical and plain-spoken, because vape shopping is full of inflated claims and you deserve straight information before you spend money.

• Product type: nicotine salt e-liquid, 10ml bottle
• Strength: 20mg/ml nicotine salt
• Flavour: fresh menthol mojito (mint, light citrus, cooling menthol)
• Best used in: refillable pod kits and low-wattage MTL or restricted-lung devices

Specifications and what is in the bottle

Before getting into flavour, it helps to be clear about the hardware-free facts. This is a 10ml bottle, which is the maximum bottle size allowed for nicotine e-liquid sold in the UK. The liquid is a nicotine salt formulation at 20mg/ml, so every millilitre of liquid contains 20mg of nicotine in salt form. Elux nic salt bottles are generally mixed at a balanced 50VG/50PG ratio, but you should always read the label on the bottle in your hand, because batch details and ratios can be updated by the manufacturer.

A balanced ratio is a deliberate choice for salts. Propylene glycol (PG) carries flavour and gives a bit of throat sensation, while vegetable glycerine (VG) produces vapour density and a smoother, slightly sweeter feel. A 50/50 blend is thin enough to wick quickly through the small cotton and mesh coils in pod systems, yet thick enough to give a decent cloud and a rounded mouthfeel. Very high VG liquids tend to wick slowly in small pod coils and can cause dry hits, which is why you rarely see them sold as nic salts.

Here is a quick summary of the key figures you are likely to care about when deciding whether this bottle suits your setup:

• Bottle capacity: 10ml
• Nicotine strength: 20mg/ml (nicotine salt)
• Typical VG/PG ratio: 50VG/50PG (confirm on the bottle label)
• Recommended power range: roughly 8W to 15W, or the default setting on a pod kit
• Coil resistance suited to it: about 0.6 to 1.2 ohm, mesh or ceramic style pod coils
• Rough yield: around 2,000 to 3,000 puffs per 10ml bottle, depending on device and puff length

That yield figure is an estimate rather than a guarantee. A low-power MTL pod might use roughly 0.3 to 0.5ml per day for a light user and 1ml or more for someone vaping heavily, and puff length matters just as much as device choice. Treat 10ml as roughly one to three weeks for an average user who is replacing a pack-a-day or half-pack-a-day habit.

Every bottle sold in the UK should carry the standard nicotine health warning, an ingredients list, a batch number and a child-resistant, tamper-evident cap. If any of that is missing or the seal is broken when it arrives, do not use the liquid and contact the shop.

Flavour profile: what Fresh Menthol Mojito tastes like

The inhale opens with a cool, green mint note rather than the sharp, toothpaste-style peppermint some menthol liquids lean on. Think of freshly muddled mint leaves rather than a boiled sweet. Behind that sits a restrained citrus brightness in the lime direction, which gives the liquid the slightly tart, thirst-quenching edge you expect from a mojito. It is subtle rather than sour, so people who dislike tangy fruit liquids generally find it comfortable.

On the exhale the menthol takes over. The cooling effect settles on the back of the throat and the roof of the mouth and lingers for a few seconds without the numbing, over-chilled sensation you sometimes get from extreme ice flavours. The finish is dry and clean, with very little sweetness left behind. That is one reason this profile is popular with people who vape all day: there is no sugary film on the tongue and no cloying aftertaste building up over a long session.

Compared with a straight menthol or a plain mint, the mojito character adds a touch more complexity. A plain menthol liquid can taste one-dimensional after a few hours, while the herbal and citrus layers here give your palate something to notice. At the same time it is quieter than a fruit-and-ice blend such as watermelon ice or blue raspberry, so you will not get a big, sweet flavour burst on the first puff.

A few practical notes on how the flavour behaves in real use:

• Temperature matters: run it on a lower wattage and the mint and citrus stay distinct. Push the power up and the lime fades while the menthol gets harsher.
• Fresh cotton helps: a new coil shows the flavour at its clearest. As a coil ages the herbal top notes dull first.
• It is not a dessert liquid: if you want creamy, sweet or candy flavours, look at other flavours in the Elux nic salt range instead, such as fruit and ice options.
• Flavour memory: menthol-heavy liquids can numb your taste buds, so alternating with a non-menthol liquid for a day can sharpen your sense of taste again.

Overall it is a tidy, refreshing profile aimed at people who want a cool, clean vape that is closer to a drink than a dessert. It will not suit everybody, but it does what it sets out to do.

Performance, throat hit and puff delivery

Performance with a nicotine salt liquid is about three things: how it feels in the throat, how quickly the nicotine reaches you, and how consistent the vapour is from the first puff of a tank or pod to the last. Salts at 20mg/ml are designed to be smoother than freebase nicotine at the same strength. The throat hit is present, helped along by the menthol, but it is rounder and less scratchy than a 20mg freebase liquid would be. That is the main reason salts became the standard choice for small pod vapes.

Nicotine delivery is noticeably quicker than with freebase. Smokers coming off cigarettes often report that a few puffs on a salt liquid take the edge off a craving in a way that low-strength freebase never quite managed. At 20mg that effect is strong, so if you have never used nicotine before or you only smoke occasionally, you may find this strength more than you need. We cover that decision in the nicotine strength section below.

Vapour production is moderate. Because this is a 50/50 liquid used at low wattage in a pod system, expect a modest, tight cloud rather than the large plumes associated with sub-ohm devices. The menthol exhale looks cool and light rather than thick. If cloud chasing matters to you, a salt liquid is the wrong tool; if you value discretion and flavour concentration, it is exactly the right one.

Consistency depends mostly on your device and how you look after it. In a well-primed pod, the first puff of a fresh fill tastes the same as the hundredth. Problems tend to appear when the pod is overfilled, underfilled, or allowed to run low, which can leave the coil starved and produce a burnt or papery taste. Keep the liquid level above the wicking holes and you will get a steady, predictable vape.

• Throat hit: medium, softened by the salt formulation, boosted by menthol
• Vapour: light to moderate, discreet
• Nicotine delivery: fast and firm at 20mg
• Best puff style: slow, steady mouth-to-lung draws of two to four seconds

Short, gentle puffs work best. Long, hard draws push more liquid through the coil than it can vaporise cleanly and can make the throat feel dry and the nicotine hit feel stronger than intended.

Bottle design, build quality and UK packaging rules

The bottle itself is a standard 10ml soft plastic dropper-style bottle with a narrow nozzle, which is the format UK law pushes e-liquid towards. The plastic is squeezable so you can control the flow, and the nozzle is slim enough to fit into the fill port of most pod kits without spilling. That is worth noting because some pod fill ports are very small, and a wide-tipped bottle makes refilling messy and risks flooding the airflow channel.

The cap is child-resistant and tamper-evident, with a sealing ring that breaks the first time you open it. Child-resistant caps are a legal requirement for nicotine liquids in the UK, and they can feel fiddly at first. Press down and twist, and keep the bottle upright while doing it. If you have limited hand strength or arthritis, it is worth practising once with the bottle empty or asking someone to loosen it for you. Never swap the cap for something else or leave the bottle somewhere children or pets can reach it.

Labelling follows the usual layout: front-of-bottle branding with the flavour name, strength and capacity, plus the mandatory health warning, ingredients list and batch information. The artwork is bright and consistent with the wider Elux range so you can spot it quickly on a shelf or in a drawer. Check the batch number and best-before date when it arrives. Salts are fairly stable, but they do not last indefinitely, and a bottle that has sat for years will have a duller flavour and darker colour.

Things worth knowing about handling and storage:

• Keep it cool and dark: heat and sunlight darken the liquid and degrade flavour, so avoid windowsills, car glove boxes and radiators.
• Store upright with the cap tight: this prevents leaks and slows oxidation.
• Wipe the nozzle after filling: nicotine on skin is absorbed, so avoid contact and wash your hands if you spill.
• Recycle responsibly: empty bottles, used pods and any batteries should not go in household bins. Use a household waste recycling centre, a retailer drop-off point or a dedicated vape recycling bin. Rinsing the bottle and recycling the plastic where accepted is better than binning it.

For a mass-market e-liquid, the build and packaging are solid and sensible. There is nothing fancy, but there is also nothing that causes trouble in daily use.

Compatible devices, coil and mesh technology

Nicotine salts are meant for low-powered devices. The best match is a refillable pod kit with a coil resistance between roughly 0.6 and 1.2 ohm, running at around 8 to 15 watts or on a pre-set output. These kits come in two broad styles: closed pods that you refill through a fill port but cannot rebuild, and open pod systems with replaceable coil heads. Both work fine with this liquid as long as the power stays modest.

Coil construction is the part that changes how the flavour comes across. The two common technologies are mesh and ceramic. A mesh coil is a thin sheet of perforated metal, often stainless steel or Kanthal, with a large surface area. It heats evenly, wicks quickly and gives a stronger flavour with a bit more vapour, which suits a minty profile because the herbal notes stay clear. A ceramic coil uses a porous ceramic core with an embedded heating element. It tends to be very consistent and handles thicker liquids well, and many people find ceramic gives a smoother, slightly gentler flavour with a longer coil lifespan.

Standard round-wire cotton coils at about 1.0 ohm also work and are inexpensive. They deliver a tighter, warmer vape that suits people who prefer a classic mouth-to-lung draw with the airflow mostly closed.

What to avoid is sub-ohm hardware. Running a nicotine salt at 20mg/ml through a 0.15 to 0.4 ohm coil at 40 to 80 watts will deliver far more nicotine per puff than your body is likely to handle comfortably, and the result is dizziness, nausea and a harsh throat. If you want a big cloud device, choose a freebase liquid at a much lower strength instead.

• Good matches: refillable pod systems, slim MTL pen kits, small open pods with 0.8 to 1.2 ohm coils
• Acceptable: variable wattage MTL tanks at low power with a restricted airflow
• Poor matches: sub-ohm tanks, high-wattage mods, rebuildable atomizers at high power

Change the coil or pod when the flavour drops, the vapour thins or you notice a burnt taste that does not clear after a fresh prime. For most users that means every one to two weeks, though menthol and sweet liquids both age coils faster than plain tobacco flavours.

Battery, charging and keeping your device running

The liquid does not have a battery, of course, but your device does, and battery behaviour has a direct effect on how this e-liquid tastes and performs. Most refillable pod kits use an internal lithium-ion battery somewhere between 400mAh and 1,000mAh, and many are charged over USB-C. Slim stick-style pods sit at the lower end of that range, while chunkier pen-style kits reach 1,000mAh or more. A 650mAh battery running at around 10W will typically give a light-to-moderate vaper a full day, while a heavier user will want to top up midway.

Nicotine salt vaping is gentle on batteries. Because the coil runs at low wattage, the cells are not stressed the way they are in a high-powered mod, and a decent device can last years with sensible care. Even so, a few habits help:

• Use a proper charger: a standard 5V phone charger or a computer USB port is fine. Avoid unbranded fast chargers with unknown output, which can overheat small cells.
• Do not charge unattended overnight: lithium cells are safe in normal use, but it makes sense to charge where you can see the device and not on a bed, sofa or under a pillow.
• Keep it cool: do not leave a device in a hot car or in direct sun, and never charge a damp or physically damaged battery.
• Do not let it run flat repeatedly: deep discharge shortens the life of the cell. Topping up when the indicator light flashes is better than draining it to zero.

Low battery has a flavour effect too. As the voltage drops, the coil does not reach its full temperature, so the mint and lime notes thin out and the menthol can taste flat and slightly chemical. If a liquid that tasted lively this morning seems weak by late afternoon, the battery is a likely suspect before you blame the juice.

Disposal matters. A dead or damaged vape battery should never go in general household waste or kerbside recycling, because crushed lithium cells cause fires in bin lorries and waste plants. Take dead devices and batteries to a vape-shop drop-off point, a supermarket battery bin or your local household waste recycling centre. Most UK shops that sell vape products are obliged to take back used equipment, so it is worth asking at the counter next time you order.

Nicotine strength guidance: is 20mg right for you?

Choosing the right strength is the single most important decision with a nic salt. Twenty milligrams per millilitre is the highest strength legally sold in the UK, and it is aimed at people who are moving away from regular smoking, typically ten or more cigarettes a day. For those users, 20mg salts replace the nicotine hit they are used to without the harshness that a freebase liquid at the same strength would produce.

If you smoke fewer than ten cigarettes a day, or you smoke socially, 20mg is probably more than you need. A 10mg salt (or even a lower strength where the shop offers one) will feel closer to a light cigarette and will not leave you lightheaded. The warning signs of too much nicotine are well known: dizziness, nausea, a racing pulse, headaches, sweating and a queasy stomach. If you notice any of them, stop vaping, drink water and try a lower strength or a device with a smaller airflow.

A simple rule of thumb many stop-smoking advisers use is to match the strength to your cigarette consumption:

• Ten or more cigarettes per day: 20mg nic salt is a sensible starting point
• Five to ten per day: consider 10mg to 12mg, moving up only if cravings persist
• Fewer than five per day: a low-strength liquid or a lower-nicotine option is usually enough
• Non-smokers and never-smokers: do not start vaping nicotine; it is a quit-smoking aid, not a lifestyle accessory

It also helps to think about how you vape. Frequent short puffs on a tight pod will deliver more nicotine than occasional longer puffs on an open device. Heavy chain vaping at 20mg is a quick route to nicotine overload. If you find yourself puffing constantly without really noticing, it may be a sign the strength is too low rather than too high, but the safer experiment is to change strength one step at a time and give each one a few days.

Many people reduce strength gradually over several months as part of a quit plan. The NHS stop-smoking services and many local pharmacies in the UK offer free support, and combining vaping with advice and behavioural support improves the odds of quitting entirely.

Who this e-liquid is for, and who should skip it

Fresh Menthol Mojito 20mg works best for adult smokers who want a clean, cool alternative to cigarettes and who already own, or plan to buy, a low-wattage refillable pod kit. It also suits existing vapers who like refreshing flavours, who tire of heavy sweet profiles, or who want a lighter all-day option that is not a dessert or candy blend. Menthol smokers in particular tend to appreciate the familiar cooling feel with a bit more flavour interest than straight menthol cigarettes offer.

It is a particularly sensible pick if you value any of the following:

• You smoke ten or more cigarettes a day and want a strength that can replace them
• You prefer cool, fresh and herbal flavours over sweet fruit or dessert flavours
• You use a pod kit and want a liquid that wicks easily without gurgling or flooding
• You want something discreet that does not leave a sticky aftertaste
• You like to vape through the working day without palate fatigue

Equally, there are people who should look elsewhere. If you have never smoked or vaped, this product is not for you; nicotine is addictive, and there is no health benefit in starting. If you are under 18, it is illegal for you to buy or be sold nicotine products in the UK, and a reputable retailer will verify age at checkout and on delivery. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or you have heart conditions, high blood pressure, diabetes or another medical issue, speak to a doctor or pharmacist before using any nicotine product.

You should also reconsider if any of these apply:

• You dislike menthol or find strong cooling sensations uncomfortable
• You mainly use a sub-ohm tank or a high-wattage mod, where a freebase liquid would be a better fit
• You are a light or occasional smoker who would find 20mg too strong
• You are very sensitive to propylene glycol, which can cause throat irritation in a minority of users

If you try it and decide it is not for you, there are plenty of other flavours across the Elux nic salt range, and the shop can point you towards a gentler strength. A calm, honest approach to the first bottle saves money and avoids unpleasant experiences.

How to fill, prime and use it

Using a bottled nic salt is simple once you have done it a couple of times, but the order of steps matters. A badly primed coil is the most common cause of burnt taste in a new setup, and almost every complaint about a brand-new pod can be traced back to skipping a few minutes of patience at the start.

Follow these steps for a clean fill:

• Wash and dry your hands and work over a tissue or a tray, so spills do not reach your skin or furniture.
• Turn the device off or unplug the pod and, if your pod has one, open the fill port or slide off the silicone plug.
• Shake the bottle gently and, keeping it upright, press the cap and twist to open. Squeeze slowly with the nozzle pointing into the fill hole rather than at the central chimney tube.
• Fill to the max line but not beyond it. Leaving a small air gap helps stop flooding and stops liquid creeping into the airway.
• Close the port, wipe the pod and refit it, then let it rest for about five to ten minutes. This gives the cotton or ceramic time to saturate fully.

Once the pod has rested, take two or three gentle draws without pressing the button, or a very short firing with no airflow, to pull liquid through the coil. Then start with low power and short puffs. You should taste cool mint and light citrus from the first draw. If the first hit is dry, warm or papery, stop and give it another few minutes before trying again.

For a good routine:

• Top up the pod when it is about a third full rather than waiting until it is empty
• Take puffs of two to four seconds with a pause of at least ten seconds between them so the coil can re-wick
• Clean the mouthpiece and the contacts on the pod with a dry cotton bud once a week
• Replace the pod or coil head at the first sign of a burnt or flat flavour

Never mix nicotine liquids with other substances, never fill a pod with anything other than e-liquid intended for it, and never share your device with someone who does not already use nicotine.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most e-liquid problems are really device or technique problems. When something goes wrong, work through the likely causes rather than assuming the liquid is faulty. The symptoms below cover what we hear most often.

Burnt or dry taste. This is nearly always a wicking problem. The coil is not saturated, or the pod has run too low. Refill, wait a full five to ten minutes, and take a few gentle priming draws before you fire the device. If the coil was run dry even once, the cotton may be scorched and the pod should be replaced. Lowering the wattage also helps, as does leaving longer gaps between puffs.

Gurgling or spitting. The pod is overfilled or the airflow chimney is wet. Remove the pod, blow gently through the mouthpiece with the device off, and wipe the airway with a tissue. Fill to just below the max line next time and avoid squeezing the bottle hard.

Leaking from the pod or airflow slots. Check that the pod is seated properly and the fill plug is pushed in all the way. Temperature and pressure changes, for example on a flight or in a hot car, push liquid out of the pod, so keep the device upright and store it with the mouthpiece up.

Flavour seems weak. Possible causes include a worn coil, a low battery, a recent run of menthol-heavy vaping that has dulled your taste buds, or a cold or blocked nose. Try a fresh pod and a full charge. If the flavour only returns after a few days away from menthol, your palate was the issue.

Throat feels harsh or irritated. The wattage may be too high, the strength too strong, or the puffs too long. Drop the power, shorten the draws and drink water. If irritation persists, move to a 10mg salt.

Device will not fire. Check the battery level, clean the contacts between the pod and the battery section, and make sure the pod is fitted fully. A flashing light normally indicates a short circuit, a low battery or a poor connection.

• Dizziness or nausea: stop vaping, sit down and have a drink. Lower the strength next time.
• Chest tightness or persistent coughing: stop and speak to a health professional.
• Suspected faulty bottle or damaged seal: stop using it and contact the retailer with your order number and batch code.

Value for money and how it compares to similar nic salts

A 10ml salt bottle sits in the same price bracket as most branded salts in the UK, typically a few pounds per bottle with discounts for multi-buys. Because this is e-liquid rather than a disposable, the real value lies in what you get per puff. A single 10ml bottle yields roughly 2,000 to 3,000 puffs, depending on device and style, which is comparable to a standard 600-puff disposable multiplied several times over. Over a month the maths usually favours a refillable setup, even after you factor in the cost of a pod kit and replacement coils every couple of weeks.

There is also the waste issue. Each disposable vape contains a lithium battery, a plastic shell and circuitry that all need to be recycled, and many end up in general bins. A refillable setup reduces that waste considerably. It is not a perfect answer, since you still need to recycle bottles, coils and the occasional damaged device, but the volume is far smaller. Since June 2025, sales of single-use vapes have been banned in Great Britain, which is one more reason refillable kits and bottled salts have become the standard route for most adult vapers.

How does it compare with other popular brands? Fairly, with a few caveats:

• Nasty Salt and Nasty Juice salts: strong, bold flavours with a heavier sweetness. Nasty tends to be more intense on the inhale, while Elux is a little lighter and more drink-like. Pricing is usually in a similar range.
• Dinner Lady Nic Salts: dessert and fruit focus with a long track record. If you want pastry or creamy flavours, Dinner Lady has more depth there. For a clean, cool mint profile, Elux is arguably more relevant.
• IVG Salts and Bar Juice style salts: aimed at a younger, fruit-and-candy audience, often with tangier sweet blends. They are comparable in smoothness, though the menthol-led mojito character is a differentiator.
• Hayati and Lost Mary salts: big flavour range and lots of ice profiles. Good alternatives if you want variety, but not specialists in herbal mint.

No salt on the market is universally better; the right one depends on your palate and device. Where this product earns its place is in the combination of a drinks-inspired flavour, a well-judged cooling level and a reliable salt formulation at a fair price. If you are unsure, buy one bottle rather than a bulk pack, test it in your own device for a week, then decide.

As for delivery, orders from a UK shop usually ship by tracked courier, with adult-signature or age verification at the door. Check the shop's delivery page for current dispatch times and costs, and keep the bottle and its batch details until you have finished the liquid in case you need to raise a query with the retailer.
