Perfect strength for me
Honestly, I was unsure at first but this has been great. Flavour is strong and lasts the full session. No complaints at all.
EluxThe Tiger Blood Elux Nic Salts 20mg by Elux in Tiger Blood at 20mg. Free UK delivery over £20, same-day dispatch on weekday orders before 4pm.
Elux Nic Salts 20mg Tiger Blood is a 10ml bottle of nicotine salt e-liquid, sold as a refill for pod kits and other low-wattage vape devices rather than as a self-contained product. Nicotine salt liquids use a different form of nicotine from traditional freebase e-liquids, one that feels noticeably smoother on the throat at higher strengths. That is the reason this bottle is aimed at adults who want a satisfying, cigarette-like hit from a small, quiet device without the harshness that a 20mg freebase liquid would produce. The flavour is Tiger Blood, a fruit-forward profile built around the familiar strawberry, watermelon and coconut combination that has been popular in UK vape shops for years.
This page is written as a buyer's reference, not a sales pitch. It covers how the liquid behaves, what sort of hardware suits it, how long a bottle realistically lasts, how to fill a device without making a mess, what to do when something goes wrong, and where this product is a poor fit. If you read to the end you should know whether Elux Nic Salts Tiger Blood belongs in your basket or whether a different strength, flavour or brand would serve you better.
Quick facts at a glance:
A 10ml bottle at 20mg/ml holds 200mg of nicotine in total. That is a meaningful quantity, so the bottle should be treated like any other nicotine product: stored upright, closed, and well out of reach of children and pets. The packaging is designed with a child-resistant cap and a tamper-evident seal for that reason, and neither should be defeated or discarded for convenience.
Tiger Blood is a name borrowed from the shaved-ice and soda-fountain world, where it usually describes a blend of strawberry, watermelon and coconut. In vape form the recipe is simplified into three layers that arrive in sequence. The inhale leads with a sweet, slightly jammy strawberry. Mid-draw, a juicy watermelon note takes over and gives the vapour its rounded, summery character. On the exhale a soft coconut cream finish settles in and lingers for a second or two, which stops the profile tasting thin or purely sugary.
Because the exact recipe is controlled by the manufacturer, individual perception varies. Some people pick up more watermelon than strawberry; others find the coconut sits quietly in the background and only shows up in the aftertaste. What is consistent is the overall direction: sweet, fruity and creamy rather than sharp, sour or minty. There is no heavy menthol or ice layer in this flavour, so it does not deliver the cold throat sensation of an Ice variant. If you want that effect, look at other flavours in the Elux range instead.
How it compares with other fruit flavours:
Elux produces a wide spread of flavours across its pod, bottle and device lines, including fruit-and-ice combinations, berry blends and fizzy or sour options. Availability changes from one product line to the next, so a flavour you have tried in a pod kit may or may not exist as a nic salt bottle. If you enjoy the idea of Tiger Blood but find the coconut too prominent, a plain watermelon or strawberry salt would be the nearest alternative; if you want more complexity, a blended berry flavour is the usual next step.
One practical note on flavour is that sweet, fruity liquids tend to leave residue on coils faster than mint or tobacco profiles. Sugar-like flavouring compounds caramelise on the coil surface over time, and that is the main reason fruit-flavoured liquids shorten coil life. We cover how to manage this in the troubleshooting section, but it is worth knowing before you buy.
Nicotine salt liquids are designed for low-power devices, and Tiger Blood follows that pattern. With a typical pod kit running somewhere between 10W and 20W, you get a warm to cool vapour, a moderate cloud, and a flavour that is clear without being overpowering. A balanced 50VG/50PG base is a deliberate compromise: enough PG to carry flavour and give a throat hit, enough VG to produce a reasonable amount of vapour and keep the liquid from running too thin and leaking in small pods.
The question most buyers ask is how many puffs they will get from a bottle. Because this is a refill and not a sealed disposable, there is no fixed puff count printed on the pack, and anyone quoting an exact number is guessing. We can give a reasoned estimate instead. A 2ml pod on a mouth-to-lung device usually delivers somewhere in the range of 300 to 500 puffs depending on puff length and wattage. A 10ml bottle holds five pods' worth of liquid, so you are looking at roughly 1,500 to 2,500 puffs per bottle for most users, with heavy users who take long draws at higher power falling towards the bottom of that range and light users who sip occasionally falling towards the top.
In calendar terms, that translates as follows:
Throat hit at 20mg/ml with nicotine salts is firm but smooth. People coming from freebase liquids sometimes describe it as hitting later and lower in the chest rather than scratching the back of the throat. Because the nicotine absorbs quickly, a few puffs are often enough to feel satisfied, and that is exactly why salt liquids are usually vaped at low power in small devices. Pushing a 20mg salt through a high-wattage sub-ohm device is both wasteful and uncomfortable, because the volume of vapour delivers far more nicotine per puff than the formulation was designed for.
Flavour delivery is the second half of performance. Tiger Blood tastes cleanest at lower power, where the strawberry and watermelon sit forward and the coconut stays soft. At higher power the sweetness intensifies and the finish can become slightly syrupy. If a flavour tastes muted, the cause is usually a tired coil or a half-primed pod, not a problem with the liquid itself.
Nicotine strength is the single most important choice when buying e-liquid, and it is worth slowing down to get it right. The UK legal maximum is 20mg/ml, and that is the strength of this product. It is not a mid-range option; it is the ceiling. That makes it suitable for some people and unsuitable for others.
20mg nic salt is generally a good match if you:
A lower strength such as 10mg is generally a better match if you:
A useful rule of thumb is that higher-strength liquid is used in smaller amounts. Someone vaping 20mg salt may take only a few puffs per session, while someone on 10mg may take more. Neither approach is wrong, but picking a strength that fits your actual smoking history helps you avoid both under-dosing, which leaves you craving and tempts you back to cigarettes, and over-dosing, which makes vaping unpleasant.
Remember that nicotine salts are not the same as freebase nicotine at the same stated strength. A 20mg salt delivers nicotine faster and more smoothly than a 20mg freebase, so it can feel stronger than the number suggests, particularly to first-time users. If you have never used nicotine at all, do not start with this product. Vaping is intended for adults who already smoke or use nicotine products and want an alternative, not for people who have never used nicotine.
If you want to step down gradually, many people buy a 20mg bottle alongside a 10mg bottle of the same flavour and mix between them across the week, using the stronger liquid for the first and last vape of the day and the lower one in between. Elux sells its salts in more than one strength, so check that the strength on your basket line reads 20mg before checking out.
Because Elux Nic Salts Tiger Blood is a bottle and not a disposable, the hardware you pair it with matters as much as the liquid. Nicotine salts are intended for pod systems and low-wattage mouth-to-lung devices. In practical terms, that means a refillable pod kit with a coil in the 0.6 to 1.2 ohm range, running at roughly 8W to 20W.
What to look for in a compatible device:
It is worth being clear about what does not suit this liquid. Sub-ohm tanks with coils below 0.5 ohm are built for high-VG freebase liquids at 40W and above. A 20mg salt in that kind of setup produces excessive vapour, very high nicotine intake per puff, and a lot of wasted liquid. Similarly, closed disposable devices cannot be refilled, and attempting to open or refill a single-use device is both unsafe and counterproductive. Since 1 June 2025, the sale of single-use vapes has been prohibited in the UK, which is a large part of why refillable pod kits and bottled salts have taken over the market that disposables once held.
Many Elux-branded and third-party pod kits fit the profile above, and a wide range of compatible pods is available from UK retailers. When choosing a pod, confirm the coil resistance and the recommended liquid type on the packaging. If the manufacturer specifies a liquid range such as 50/50 or 70VG, stay within it, and if the pod states a maximum wattage, do not exceed it. Matching the coil to the liquid is the most reliable way to get consistent flavour and long coil life.
For coils, expect a typical lifespan of one to two weeks for a moderate user with fruity flavours, longer with lighter use. Sweet liquids such as Tiger Blood sit at the shorter end of that range because of coil gunk. Replace the pod or coil when flavour fades, the vapour thins, or you notice a burnt or dry taste that priming does not fix.
E-liquid has no battery of its own, but the battery in your device determines how well the liquid performs, so it deserves attention. Most pod kits that suit nicotine salts carry an internal lithium-ion cell somewhere in the region of 400mAh to 1,000mAh, charged over USB-C. A smaller cell in the 400 to 600mAh range suits light and moderate use and keeps the device pocket-sized. A larger cell of 800 to 1,000mAh covers a full day for heavier users, at the cost of a slightly bulkier body.
Battery capacity and liquid use are linked. A 2ml pod will often outlast a small battery before the liquid runs out, which means you may charge more often than you refill. As a rough guide, a 500mAh battery running a 0.8 ohm coil at around 12W gives roughly the same number of puffs as a 2ml pod holds, so many users find they charge about as frequently as they refill.
Sensible charging habits:
Power settings: most pod kits for salts either have a fixed output or a few adjustable levels. As a starting point, 10W to 14W suits a 0.8 to 1.0 ohm coil with a 50/50 liquid. Start at the low end and work upwards only if you want more warmth. Higher power does not give a better experience with a 20mg salt; it simply uses more liquid and more nicotine per puff. If your device offers a draw-activated mode and a button-fire mode, draw-activated is more convenient for short mouth-to-lung puffs, while a button gives you control over timing.
Finally, remember that a weak battery can mimic a liquid problem. If flavour seems faint or vapour is thin, check the charge level before you blame the Tiger Blood bottle. Low voltage reduces coil temperature, and a cool coil produces less vapour and less flavour, even though the liquid and the pod are fine.
The 10ml Elux bottle is a soft plastic dropper-style container with a narrow nozzle, a child-resistant cap and a tamper-evident ring. The soft plastic lets you squeeze gently to control flow, and the narrow tip is sized to fit the fill ports on most pod kits without needing a separate funnel. Printed labelling carries the flavour name, nicotine strength, volume, ingredients, batch information and the health warning that UK rules require. Check these details when the parcel arrives. If the seal is broken, the label is unreadable, or the strength does not match what you ordered, contact us before using the liquid.
Build quality in a bottle comes down to a few practical points rather than appearance:
Storage: keep the bottle upright, capped, in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and radiators. Do not leave it in a car on a warm day. Stored properly, a sealed nicotine salt liquid usually keeps its quality for around twelve to eighteen months, and often longer, but the batch information on the label is the reference to rely on. Over time, liquid may darken slightly. A darker colour alone is not unusual with nicotine, but if the smell or taste turns off, stop using it.
Recycling and disposal: the way you dispose of e-liquid packaging and vape hardware matters. Empty plastic bottles can generally go in household plastic recycling once they are fully empty, though it is worth checking your local council's guidance on small plastic items, because rules differ by area. Do not pour leftover liquid down the sink or into soil. Pods, coils and any device containing a battery are classed as waste electrical equipment, and the lithium cells inside can start fires in refuse trucks and recycling plants. Never place them in household bins or kerbside recycling. Instead, take them to a retailer that offers a vape take-back scheme, or to a household waste recycling centre that accepts small electricals. Retailers that sell vape hardware are generally obliged to offer take-back for used electrical items, so ask the shop where you buy. This is one of the genuine advantages of moving from disposables to refillable kits plus bottled liquid: far less electronic waste goes into landfill.
Using bottled liquid is simple once you have done it a couple of times, but a few steps are easy to get wrong. Follow the sequence below for a clean fill and a good first session.
Step-by-step filling and priming:
Technique: nicotine salts are intended for mouth-to-lung vaping. Draw into the mouth for two to three seconds, pause briefly, then inhale into the lungs and exhale. Because the nicotine is absorbed quickly, you do not need long or deep draws. Many people find that a handful of puffs is enough to feel satisfied, and the stronger the liquid, the fewer you will need.
Pacing yourself: if you feel light-headed, queasy or have a racing pulse, stop and rest. Those are signs of too much nicotine too quickly. Drink water, take a break, and consider a lower strength next time.
Between fills: do not top up a pod that is nearly empty with a different flavour, as flavours blend unpredictably and can taste muddy. If you want to change flavours, empty the pod, rinse it with lukewarm water, dry it fully, and refill. Switching flavour while the same coil is installed will carry some of the previous taste, so for a clean change swap the coil or pod as well. Note that mixing different nicotine strengths in the same pod is possible but should be done deliberately and with attention to the final strength.
Most problems with bottled liquid and pod kits come down to a short list of causes. Work through the relevant item below before deciding the liquid or the device is faulty.
If a problem persists after these checks and you suspect a fault with the liquid, keep the bottle, note the batch number from the label, and contact us. Batch information lets the manufacturer trace any issue, and it makes returns and replacements quicker to arrange.
Not every vape liquid belongs in every hand, and the honest answer for Elux Nic Salts 20mg Tiger Blood is that it fits a fairly specific group of buyers.
It is a good fit for:
You should look elsewhere if:
If you are unsure whether a 20mg bottle is right for you, our advice is simple: if you smoke ten or more cigarettes a day, start with 20mg; if you smoke fewer, begin with 10mg. If you are already vaping nicotine and happy with your current strength, there is no need to change.
Judging value in the e-liquid category means looking at cost per millilitre, cost per day of use, and the total cost of the system you pair the liquid with, rather than only the sticker price on the bottle. Elux Nic Salts bottles sit in the mainstream tier of UK nicotine salt pricing, with each 10ml bottle priced to compete with other well-known salt brands. Check the current price on the product page, because it changes with promotions and multi-buy offers.
Here is how the economics tend to work out compared with the alternatives:
There are hidden costs to be aware of. Pods and coils need replacing every one to two weeks, and a spare pod costs a few pounds. A kit also needs a charging cable and occasional replacement of worn parts. When you add those up, the running cost of a refillable system is still lower than smoking, but it is not just the price of the bottle.
Tips to get more from each bottle:
On balance, Tiger Blood in the Elux Nic Salts range offers fair value for what it is: a mainstream branded salt with a consistent flavour, a recognised name and wide availability. It is not the cheapest option on the market, and it is not trying to be. If price is your overriding concern, compare per-millilitre cost with generic salt brands, but for flavour consistency and brand familiarity it holds its own.
Elux is one of several brands competing in the UK nicotine salt market, and an honest buying guide should say where it stands. Below is a fair comparison with the labels shoppers most often weigh it against. Individual flavours vary, so treat these as general observations rather than rulings.
Elux Nic Salts versus Nasty Salt. Nasty Salt is a long-established salt range known for a wide flavour menu, strong ice and menthol options, and a loyal following. Elux tends to lean into sweeter, juicy fruit profiles and has stronger brand recognition from its device range. If you want a cooler, sharper vape, Nasty Salt offers more choices; if you want sweet fruit with a creamy finish, Elux is a reasonable match.
Elux Nic Salts versus IVG Salt and Bar Salts-style ranges. IVG and Bar Salts-style liquids are typically formulated to replicate the flavours of popular disposables, and many of their flavours overlap with Elux. The differences are subtle and come down to individual recipe tuning: sweetness level, how much cooling agent is used, and how pronounced the aftertaste is. Buyers who like one tend to be happy with the other, so price and availability are often the deciding factors.
Elux Nic Salts versus Hayati and Lost Mary-style salts. These ranges share a similar mainstream positioning. Hayati tends to offer richer, dessert-influenced profiles, while Lost Mary-style liquids often feature layered fruit-and-ice combinations. Tiger Blood sits between the two: fruit-led but with a creamy coconut note that gives it more body than a plain fruit-ice liquid without becoming a dessert flavour.
Elux Nic Salts versus budget generic salts. Unbranded or small-label salt liquids may cost less per bottle, and some are well made. The trade-off is consistency: a major brand usually delivers a more predictable flavour from batch to batch, clearer labelling and easier support if something is wrong. If you have a favourite flavour and want to be sure the next bottle tastes the same, a recognised brand has the advantage.
Where Elux is weaker: it is less well known for tobacco or menthol profiles, its flavour range in bottled salts is narrower than the very broad catalogues of long-running e-liquid specialists, and its pricing is mid-market rather than discount. Where it is stronger is in brand familiarity, reliable fruit profiles and wide availability across UK retailers.
In short, Tiger Blood is a competent, mainstream fruit-and-cream salt. It is not the only choice, and if you do not like the strawberry, watermelon and coconut direction, there are several other flavours and brands worth trying.

Elux built an audience with the original Elux Legend 3500 and now runs an expanded pod line including Cyberover and Legend 8000 refills. The brand's signature is sweet-leaning flavour builds and iconic colour-coded packaging — easy to spot on a crowded shelf.
As a general guide, 20mg suits adults who smoke around ten or more cigarettes a day and want a small pod kit to replace them, while 10mg suits lighter smokers and people reducing their nicotine over time. A nicotine salt at 20mg feels stronger than a freebase liquid at the same number, so first-time vapers who are unsure should start lower. If you feel dizzy, nauseous or jittery, move down to a weaker strength.
The bottle itself has no battery, but the pod kit you fill it into does, and most charge over USB-C. Use the supplied cable on a standard 5V adapter, charge on a hard surface where you can see it, and never charge a swollen or damaged device. If the charging light does not come on, try another cable and socket before assuming the device has failed.
Yes, you can change flavour whenever you like, but for a clean switch you should empty and rinse the pod, let it dry, and ideally fit a fresh coil, because the old flavour lingers in the cotton. Elux makes a broad spread of flavours across its ranges, including fruit-and-ice blends such as Banana Ice and Cherry Ice and berry options such as Blueberry Raspberry, though the exact lineup varies by product line. Check the listings on our site for current bottled salt flavours.
There is no fixed puff count for a bottle, but a reasonable estimate is roughly 1,500 to 2,500 puffs depending on how you vape. A moderate user using about 2ml a day will get through a bottle in around five days, a light user can stretch it past a week, and a heavy user may finish it in three days or so.
It is priced in the mainstream tier of UK nic salts, and for a recognised brand with consistent flavour it offers fair value. Running a refillable kit with bottled liquid is generally much cheaper than smoking and cheaper than disposables ever were. Multi-buy offers lower the per-bottle price, and using a lower wattage cuts both liquid use and coil wear.
Anyone under 18, anyone who has never smoked or used nicotine, and people who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not use it. Those with heart conditions or high blood pressure should speak to a doctor first. It is also a poor match for people who prefer large clouds from high-power sub-ohm devices, who dislike coconut, or who want a cooling menthol hit.
It is intended for refillable pod kits and low-power mouth-to-lung devices with a coil of roughly 0.6 to 1.2 ohm, running at about 8W to 20W. It should not be used in high-power sub-ohm tanks, and it cannot be put into a sealed single-use device. Always follow the liquid and wattage range printed on your pod or device.
We deliver across mainland UK with standard and tracked options listed at checkout. Because nicotine products are restricted to adults, we verify age at purchase and the courier may ask for photo ID on delivery, so make sure someone aged 18 or over is available to receive the parcel.
Opened bottles cannot normally be returned for hygiene and safety reasons, but sealed items can usually be sent back under our returns policy. If your bottle arrives damaged, leaking or not as ordered, contact us promptly with your order number and the batch code on the label, and we will arrange a replacement or refund. The full time limits are on our returns policy page.
Store the bottle upright, capped, and away from heat, sunlight and children. Empty plastic bottles can usually go in household plastic recycling, subject to local council rules, but pods, coils and devices with batteries are electrical waste and must go to a retailer take-back scheme or a household waste recycling centre, never into household bins.

Honestly, I was unsure at first but this has been great. Flavour is strong and lasts the full session. No complaints at all.
Excellent all round. Will absolutely be ordering again. Customer service was helpful too.
Can't fault it. Quality is there, flavour is there, delivery was quick. What more could you want.
Picked this up on the multibuy deal and I'm stocked up for a while. Flavours are all on point.
Great product for the price point. Works exactly as advertised. No surprises, just a solid vape.
Not too strong, not too mild — just right. Good for all day use without being overpowering.
