Oxva Ox Passion Nic Salt E-Liquid Hub-BBG is a nicotine salt e-liquid from the Ox Passion line, sold in the standard UK 10ml bottle and aimed at refillable pod systems rather than high-powered sub-ohm tanks. The flavour name is shorthand. The listing tags point to a bubblegum character with mixed berry notes running through it, which puts it in the sweet, soft, sugary part of the flavour map rather than the sharp or cooling part.
Oxva is better known for hardware than for liquid. Its Nexlim pod kits and replacement pods are a regular sight on UK vape shelves, and Ox Passion is the brand's liquid range sitting alongside them. That pairing is useful in one practical way: nic salt liquids and low-wattage refillable pods were made for each other, so if you already own an Oxva device, a bottle from this range is a natural thing to put in it. You do not have to own Oxva hardware, though. Any compatible refillable pod device will take it.
Here is the short version of what this product is, so you can decide quickly whether to read on.
One thing we will be upfront about. Oxva does not publish a puff count for a bottle of e-liquid, because the number depends entirely on the device you use and how you vape. We do not invent one. The value section later in this page works through realistic running costs using the maths of a 10ml bottle and a 2ml pod, so you can estimate your own numbers rather than trust a marketing figure.
Nicotine is addictive. This product is for adults who already smoke or vape, and it is not intended for non-smokers, for anyone under 18, or for use while pregnant without speaking to a healthcare professional first.
We have not been handed an official tasting sheet for Hub-BBG, and we would rather tell you what the name and tags support than make up a flowery description. Here is what that evidence tells us, and what experience with this style of liquid tells us to expect.
The gum note in a vape liquid is rarely a mint-gum note. It is the pink, sugary, slightly fruity sweetness of old-fashioned bubblegum, the kind that tastes strongest in the first few seconds. On the inhale, expect a soft, rounded sweetness with very little edge. The mixed berry side tends to arrive on the exhale or in the lingering aftertaste, where a gentle tartness stops the sweetness from becoming flat. In a blend like this the berries usually read as a general red and blue fruit impression rather than one clear fruit, so do not expect to pick out a single strawberry or a single blueberry.
Sweet liquids carry a practical consequence: sugars and sweeteners caramelise on a coil faster than they would in a tobacco or plain menthol liquid. You may find that a pod or coil used with a sweet gum flavour darkens and loses crispness a little sooner. That is normal behaviour, not a fault with the bottle, and the troubleshooting section covers how to manage it.
There is also the matter of flavour fatigue, sometimes called vaper's tongue. Very sweet profiles are the ones most people get tired of first. If you find Hub-BBG tasting weaker after a week or two, the liquid has not changed. Your palate has adapted. Switching to something different for a day, or keeping a second bottle in a contrasting flavour such as a mint or a sharp fruit, usually restores the taste. Mint Mix and Blue Sour Razz in the same Ox Passion range are sensible contrasts if you want a second bottle that tastes clearly different.
The wider Ox Passion line in the shop runs to around twenty flavours, including Triple Mango, Strawberry Melon, Mixed Grapes, Cherry Fizz, Pina Daiquiri, Senorita, Blue Mist, Paradise Punch and Pineapple Freeze, so there is room to rotate without leaving the brand. If you want to compare gum-style profiles from other makers, Elux Legend has a bubblegum variant in the nic salt range and Hayati lists a similar pod flavour. We cannot promise either will taste the same, because bubblegum is one of the most varied flavour families in vaping, with some versions leaning towards sweet fruit and others towards the powdery sweetness of old penny sweets.
Performance with a liquid comes down to three things you can feel: how hard the throat hit is, how much vapour you get, and how well the flavour comes through puff after puff. Nicotine salts change the first of those more than any other factor, so it is worth understanding why.
Nicotine salt liquids use a different form of nicotine from the freebase nicotine in older-style liquids. The practical effect is that the same headline strength feels much smoother in the throat. A freebase liquid at 20mg/ml would be harsh enough that very few people could tolerate it. A nic salt liquid at 20mg/ml is usable, with a firm but not scratchy hit, because the salt form is gentler on the way down. It also tends to deliver nicotine quickly, which is why this format became the default for pod systems. A few puffs are typically enough to settle a craving, so many people find they take fewer, shorter sessions rather than constant long ones.
Vapour volume is modest. Nic salt liquids are made for low-wattage, restricted draws, and at the 10 to 20 watt range most pod kits run at, you will see a light, tidy cloud rather than a big plume. If you want to blow large clouds, this is the wrong liquid and the wrong style of device. If you want discretion, flavour in a small package and a satisfying draw that feels close to a cigarette, it is the right one.
Nic salt liquids in this style are generally made with a balanced mix of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine, a blend that wicks well into pod coils without being too thick for narrow fill ports. The exact ratio is printed on the bottle label, and you should treat the label as the final word rather than any general statement we make.
One real-world point: flavour intensity changes with temperature. A warm vape tastes sweeter and stronger, a cool one tastes flatter. Pod devices that run hotter, with a higher wattage or a lower-resistance coil, will push the sweetness of a bubblegum profile harder, which some people enjoy and others find cloying. If the flavour tastes sugary or syrupy rather than fruity, dropping the power by a watt or two, or moving to a higher-resistance pod, often rebalances it.
If you notice the first few puffs after a fill taste weaker than the rest, that is priming rather than the liquid. The cotton in the coil needs a few minutes to soak up fresh liquid evenly, and the section on how to use the product covers exactly how to do it.
A bottle of e-liquid has no moving parts, so build quality comes down to the plastic, the cap, the nozzle and the label. These are small details, but they decide whether filling a pod is clean and controlled or a mess on your desk.
UK nicotine e-liquid has to be sold in a bottle of no more than 10ml, with a child-resistant and tamper-evident closure, and a label carrying the product name, nicotine strength, ingredients and the mandatory health warning. Hub-BBG follows that format. Expect a soft plastic bottle with a narrow nozzle designed to fit the small fill ports on pod devices. The narrow tip is deliberate. It lets you place a single drop at a time without the liquid pouring in faster than the pod can accept it.
When your order arrives, a thirty-second check saves trouble later. Look at the seal, confirm the label strength, read the batch information and check the bottle for any signs of leakage in the bag. A bottle that has been in transit should have a dry nozzle and a clean cap. If anything is wrong, the delivery section explains how faults are handled.
Storage matters more than most people realise. Keep the bottle upright, away from direct sunlight and away from heat. A hot car or a window ledge in summer thins the liquid and speeds up the breakdown of flavour. An unopened bottle kept cool and dark will usually stay in good condition for a long time, often a couple of years, while a bottle that has been opened and filled from repeatedly is better used within a few months. If the colour has darkened a great deal or the flavour has gone flat, it has gone past its prime.
An honest criticism of the format: the soft-bottle design that makes filling easy also makes the bottle easy to knock over in a bag. Keep it upright in a sealed pocket of your bag, or in a small container, if you carry it with you. Never carry a loose bottle in a pocket where it can be squeezed.
Finally, keep every bottle out of reach of children and pets. Nicotine liquid is harmful if swallowed and can irritate skin, so if any gets on your hands, wash with soap and water.
The liquid does not have a coil. Your device does, and the coil you pair with it shapes how Hub-BBG tastes and how quickly the bottle empties. So this section is about choosing and looking after the hardware that sits between the bottle and your lungs.
Pod devices use a coil built into the pod or a replaceable coil head. The key figure is resistance, measured in ohms. Lower resistance means a hotter, more open vape that uses more liquid. Higher resistance means a tighter, cooler vape that uses less. The Oxva Nexlim replacement pods stocked in the shop come in 0.6, 0.8 and 1.2 ohm versions, which is a handy real-world illustration of the range most pod kits cover.
Coils also differ in material and build. Mesh coils use a flat woven screen rather than a wire wrapped around cotton. The larger heating surface warms up fast and heats the liquid evenly, which tends to give cleaner flavour and a quicker response. The trade-off is that mesh wicks quickly and can run through liquid faster, and a thick or very sweet liquid can leave residue across a wide surface. Ceramic coils warm more gradually and often hold a steady flavour over their life. Standard cotton and wire coils are simple and inexpensive and can work well, with a slightly shorter lifespan. None of these is automatically better. The right one is the one that suits how you vape and what your device is designed for.
Because Hub-BBG is a sweet profile, expect a pod or coil to last a little less time than it would with a plain liquid. A rough rule many vapers use is one to two weeks of regular use, but your own pattern may differ. When flavour turns muted, or the vapour tastes slightly burnt, it is usually time for a new pod rather than a new bottle.
A short compatibility checklist before you buy:
Single-use disposable vapes cannot be refilled and have been banned from sale in Great Britain since 1 June 2025, which is one of the reasons refillable pod kits and bottled nic salts are now the mainstream route for adults who vape.
An e-liquid contains no battery and needs no charging. The question that really matters is how well your device keeps going while you use it, and how safely you charge it. Because a 10ml bottle fills a 2ml pod about five times, you will charge your device several times for every bottle you get through, so it is worth getting the habits right.
Refillable pod kits of the type that suit nic salt typically carry a rechargeable lithium-ion battery somewhere in the range of a few hundred up to around a thousand milliamp hours, and most now charge over USB-C. Charge time varies from device to device, but most take somewhere between half an hour and a couple of hours for a full charge. Check the manual for your own device rather than trusting a general figure.
Battery level affects flavour more than people expect. As the battery drops, the voltage supplied to the coil can sag, and the vape feels cooler and thinner. If a normally sweet bubblegum liquid suddenly tastes flat, glance at the battery indicator before blaming the bottle. A low battery combined with a higher-resistance coil can make a good liquid taste weak.
Resistance also changes how long a charge lasts. A 1.2 ohm pod draws less power per puff than a 0.6 ohm pod, so a tighter draw stretches the battery as well as the liquid. If you find yourself charging every day, the pod resistance and wattage are the first things to adjust.
When a device reaches the end of its life, do not put it in a household bin or the kerbside recycling. Lithium-ion batteries can ignite when crushed in a bin lorry. Take the device to a household waste recycling centre or return it to a shop that offers vape take-back. Under UK waste electrical rules, retailers selling vapes are expected to provide a way to return old devices, and most local council recycling sites accept small electricals. If a device is swollen, hot, or smells strange, stop using it, move it away from anything flammable and ask a professional about disposal.
Choosing the wrong strength is the most common reason people are disappointed with a nic salt liquid. Too low and you chase cravings with constant puffing. Too high and you feel dizzy or sick. Getting it right is mostly about being honest about what you currently smoke or vape.
UK law caps nicotine e-liquid at 20mg/ml. This applies across the board, to bottled liquids, to prefilled pods and to what used to be sold as disposables, which were also limited to a 2ml tank. Nic salt liquids are normally sold in 5mg, 10mg and 20mg versions. This listing centres on 20mg. If you see other strengths in the selector, here is how to choose between them.
It helps to know what is actually in the bottle. At 20mg/ml, a full 10ml bottle contains 200mg of nicotine in total. A 2ml pod filled from it holds 40mg. Only a fraction of what you inhale is absorbed, so those figures are not what you take in, but they do show how a higher strength lasts differently from a lower one. A device that sits at the same wattage will deliver roughly the same nicotine per puff from a 20mg liquid as from two puffs of a 10mg liquid.
Signs that the strength may be too high include light-headedness, nausea, a racing feeling, a persistent headache or a throat hit that feels harsh. If this happens, stop vaping, sit down, have some water and move to a lower strength or a lower wattage. Signs that it may be too low include taking long, frequent sessions, running through pods very quickly and still feeling unsatisfied.
Do not choose a strength based on what a friend uses. Body weight, habits, tolerance and device all differ. Start at the lower of the two strengths you are considering, and move up only if you find it does not satisfy. For adults who want to cut their nicotine intake over time, the usual approach is to step down one level at a time over several weeks rather than dropping suddenly.
If you do not currently smoke or vape, do not start with a nicotine product. A nicotine-free alternative exists in the wider market, and Hub-BBG is not designed for people without an existing nicotine habit.
No flavour suits everyone, and a sweet gum-and-berry profile suits fewer people than a fruit-ice flavour or a plain mint. Being clear about this saves you a purchase you will not finish, so here are the situations where we think it fits and the ones where it does not.
It suits adults who are switching from smoking and want a satisfying nicotine hit in a smooth, sweet flavour. It suits people who are moving from single-use disposables to a refillable kit following the ban and who liked the sweet candy flavours those products offered. It suits anyone who already has a pod kit and wants a 10ml bottle that costs far less per fill than a prefilled pod. And it suits people who enjoy rotating flavours, because a single 10ml bottle is a low-commitment way to try a profile.
It is probably not for you in these cases.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a heart condition or take regular medication, speak to a pharmacist or GP before using any nicotine product. That is general advice, not something specific to this bottle. And if you are using vaping to cut down from smoking, free local stop smoking services exist in the UK and are worth knowing about as a support option alongside whatever product you choose.
Filling a pod is simple once you have done it a couple of times, but small mistakes cause most of the problems people report. Follow this routine and you should avoid leaks, flooding and dry hits.
Good technique matters. With nic salt and a tight draw, the goal is a slow, smooth pull, not a fast, hard one. Hard pulls can drag liquid into the airflow and gurgle. Waiting twenty or thirty seconds between puffs gives the wick time to re-saturate, which keeps flavour consistent and extends coil life.
Do not let a pod run empty. Refill when liquid drops to roughly a third of the pod. Vaping on a nearly empty pod burns the cotton and ruins the coil, and the burnt taste can linger even after you refill.
Keep the device upright when you are not using it, especially in a bag, and carry the cap on the fill port firmly. If you are travelling by air, pressure changes can push liquid out of a full pod, so it is sensible to travel with the pod about half full or empty and fill it again after landing.
Keep your bottle capped after each use. An open bottle collects dust and loses flavour to air, and a bottle left uncapped near a child or a pet is a real hazard.
Most e-liquid problems are really device problems or technique problems. The list below covers the issues we see most often, with a likely cause and a sensible fix for each.
A final general tip: keep a spare pod. Many apparent liquid faults vanish the moment a fresh pod goes in, and having one on hand saves you from deciding whether to blame a bottle that is working as it should.
If you receive a bottle that is leaking in the parcel, arrives with a broken seal, or carries a strength different from the one you ordered, do not use it. Get in touch with us with your order number and a photograph, and we will put it right. Faults and picking errors are resolved without argument.
Cost is where bottled nic salt earns its place. A 10ml bottle holds enough liquid to fill a 2ml pod five times, and that changes the price per day compared with prefilled or disposable products.
Start with some illustrative maths. If you vape lightly, around 1ml a day, a bottle lasts about ten days. If you vape at a moderate level, around 2ml a day, it lasts about five days. A heavy user at 3 to 4ml a day will get through a bottle in two to three days. These are estimates and not measurements, because everyone vapes differently and the coil resistance matters, but they let you build your own picture. Check the current price on the product page, and look for any multibuy on the listing. Where a buy 5 for £10 offer applies, that works out at £2.00 a bottle, or around 40p per 2ml pod fill. Multibuys can usually be mixed across qualifying flavours, so you can try several without paying more.
How does it compare with other nic salt lines? Honestly, quite similarly on the basics, and the differences are in flavour and fit.
Compared with shortfills, which come in 50ml or 100ml bottles and need nicotine shots added, a 10ml nic salt is easier, ready to use and designed for pod kits. Shortfills often cost less per ml but need bigger tanks and a lower-strength mix, so they suit a different kind of vaper. For anyone with a small pod device, nic salt is the logical format.
Our honest view: if you like sweet profiles and have a compatible pod kit, Hub-BBG is a reasonable low-cost bottle to try, particularly through a multibuy where you can pair it with a contrasting flavour. If you are unsure about gum flavours, buy one bottle before committing to several.
Buying nicotine products in the UK comes with rules that protect buyers, and it helps to know what they are so you can spot a shop that cuts corners.
Sales are strictly 18+. Nicotine e-liquid is limited to 20mg/ml and to bottles of 10ml. Pods and tanks that come prefilled are limited to 2ml. Packaging must carry a nicotine warning, a list of ingredients and the batch information. Single-use disposable vapes are banned in Great Britain, and the legal 20mg/ml cap applies to refillable liquid in exactly the same way as it did to the disposables that came before. If a seller offers a higher strength or a larger bottle of nicotine liquid, they are outside UK rules and you should not buy from them.
Here is how ordering with us works.
On the environmental side, there are three things to dispose of. The first is the empty bottle. Many councils will accept rinsed plastic bottles in household recycling, but small items with narrow nozzles are sometimes rejected, so check your local council guidance. Do not pour leftover liquid down the sink or drain. Soak small amounts into kitchen paper and put it in general waste, or ask your council about hazardous waste. The second is the used pod, which contains a coil and residue and should go in general waste unless the maker offers a take-back scheme. The third is the device and its battery, which must never go in household bins. Take them to a household waste recycling centre or to a shop that offers vape take-back, since UK rules expect retailers who sell vapes to provide a way to hand in old ones.
Finally, store everything out of reach of children and pets, keep the original packaging if you can, and keep hold of your order confirmation in case you need to contact us. If you have a question about compatibility, ask before you order rather than after.

Oxva builds some of the most well-regarded refillable pod kits in the UK — the Xlim and Nexlim families are known for being pocket-friendly, leak-resistant and easy on liquids. If you want a refillable kit that just works day after day, Oxva is on most expert shortlists.
This listing is built around 20mg/ml, the highest strength allowed in the UK, which suits adults who smoke around ten a day or more and use a tight-draw pod kit at low power. If a lower strength is offered in the selector, 10mg suits lighter smokers and slightly airier devices, and 5mg suits people cutting down or using more open kit. If you feel dizzy or sick, stop, drink water and move to a lower strength.
The liquid itself has no battery, so there is nothing to charge. You charge your pod kit, normally over USB-C, which usually takes somewhere between half an hour and two hours depending on the device. A 10ml bottle fills a 2ml pod about five times, so expect to charge your kit several times per bottle, and never leave it charging unattended on a soft surface.
The listing tags describe a bubblegum profile with mixed berry notes, so expect a sweet, soft, candy-style flavour with a gentle fruity finish and no cooling hit. The Ox Passion line in our range runs to about twenty flavours, including Blue Sour Razz, Mint Mix, Triple Mango, Strawberry Melon and Cherry Fizz, if you want a contrast. A multibuy can often be mixed across flavours.
Oxva does not publish a puff count for bottled liquid, so we do not quote one. As a guide, a 10ml bottle fills a 2ml pod about five times, which is roughly ten days for a light vaper at 1ml a day, five days at 2ml a day and two to three days for heavy use. A higher-resistance pod and lower power will stretch it further.
Bottled nic salt costs far less per fill than prefilled pods or disposables, and where a buy 5 for £10 multibuy applies it works out at £2.00 a bottle, around 40p per 2ml pod fill. You do need a compatible refillable kit and a replacement pod every week or two. If you already own a pod device, it is a low-cost way to try a flavour.
It suits adults who already smoke or vape, enjoy sweet candy and berry flavours and use a refillable pod kit. It is not for non-smokers, anyone under 18, people who dislike sweet flavours, or anyone who wants big clouds from a sub-ohm tank. If you are pregnant or have a medical condition, speak to a pharmacist or GP first.
No to disposables and closed prefilled pods, because they cannot be refilled, and single-use disposables are banned from sale in Great Britain anyway. A sub-ohm tank at high wattage is also a poor match, as 20mg nic salt becomes harsh at high power. It is designed for refillable pod kits at low wattage with a restricted draw.
Weekday orders placed before 4pm are dispatched the same day. UK delivery is free once your basket reaches £20.00, and tracked options are shown at checkout. Every order is age-checked before it ships.
E-liquid is a consumable and cannot be returned once opened, for hygiene reasons. If your bottle arrives leaking, damaged, with a broken seal or in the wrong strength, send us your order number and a photo and we will put it right. There is no manufacturer warranty on a liquid, but faults and picking errors are resolved without argument.
Keep it upright, capped, out of direct sunlight and away from heat, and out of reach of children and pets. Heat thins the liquid and dulls the flavour, and a hot car is the most common cause of leaks. An opened bottle is better used within a few months.

Arrived well-packaged with next-day delivery. Taste is clean and authentic. Nothing to complain about.
Flavour holds up all the way through. Some brands get weaker after a few days but this stays consistent.
The flavour matches the description perfectly. No weird aftertaste. Proper authentic taste.
My partner tried this and now we've both switched. Smooth hit, proper flavour, fair price.
Cracking flavour, honestly. Been through a few of these already. Can't fault it at the price.
Honestly, I was unsure at first but this has been great. Flavour is strong and lasts the full session. No complaints at all.
