If you are new to the brand, our guide on what Elux Legend is covers the basics. To see what to try first, our guide to the top Elux Legend flavours to try first is a good next read.

The verdict in brief

Elux Legend has become one of the UK's go to nic salt ranges, for reasons that are easy to see. The flavours are bold and true to the disposables they recreate, the salt formula keeps even 20mg smooth and the value against disposables is excellent. The range is also huge, with well over 40 flavours covering fruit, menthol and sweet profiles. The main criticism, a mild one, is that some of the sweeter blends can become a little much over a full day, which comes down to personal taste. Overall it is a confident, dependable range that earns its popularity.

Flavour: the main event

Flavour is where Elux Legend shines. Reviewers consistently praise the range for being bold and accurate, recreating the disposable profiles people already love without a lingering artificial aftertaste. Standout blends include Mr Blue, a mixed berry with a cool finish, the tropical Triple Mango, the bright Lemon Lime and the candy style Gummy Bear. The fruit blends taste fresh, the sweet ones are rich and the menthols are clean and crisp. If you enjoyed an Elux disposable, the bottled version delivers that same intensity, which is exactly what most people are looking for.

The hit and everyday performance

For people switching from cigarettes or disposables, the quality of the hit matters most, where Elux Legend performs well. The salt formula delivers a fast, satisfying hit that settles cravings quickly, while staying smooth enough that even 20mg does not feel harsh. Reviewers regularly note that a strong blend like Mr Blue at 20mg satisfies almost instantly without an aggressive throat hit, unlike freebase liquids at similar levels. That smoothness, paired with the 50/50 formula's clean draw in a pod kit, makes it a comfortable all day vape that does the job without fuss.

To judge the range for yourself, the Elux Legend Nic Salts collection brings every flavour together and lets you mix and match across the multi buy deals.

Value for money

Value is one of Elux Legend's strongest cards. A single 10ml bottle holds roughly the same liquid as five disposables, around 3000 puffs, for a fraction of the price, with the multi buy deals stretching that further still. Once you own an inexpensive pod kit, your running costs drop sharply compared with buying disposables, with many vapers reporting savings of a substantial amount over a year. Add the smooth hit, the wide choice and the reduced waste, then the range offers a lot for the money. For a fuller look at the cost case, the value side is well worth weighing up before you commit.

The drawbacks

No range is perfect, so Elux Legend has a couple of minor weak points. The most common is sweetness, since several of the candy and dessert style blends are very sweet, which can become a little sickly over a full day for people who prefer something cleaner. This is easily managed by leaning toward the fruit or menthol options for all day vaping. The other point is coil life, as the sweeter, heavier blends can shorten coil lifespan a little faster than lighter ones, though pairing with a decent pod kit keeps this in check. Neither is a serious flaw.

Who it suits

Elux Legend suits a broad range of vapers. It is ideal for anyone switching from Elux disposables who wants the same taste in a refillable form, plus disposable users in general looking to cut cost and waste. The smooth hit makes it friendly for newer vapers, while the huge flavour range keeps experienced vapers interested. As with all nic salts it contains nicotine, so it is strictly for existing adult smokers and vapers. If you want the disposable flavour experience without the throwaway device, this range is a natural fit.

How it compares to rivals

Elux Legend does not exist in a vacuum. Part of judging it is seeing how it stacks up against the other big nic salt names. Its closest rivals are brands like Elfliq, Bar Juice 5000, Gold Bar and Hayati, each of which bottles a different disposable heritage. Where Elfliq leans toward natural, true to source flavours, Elux Legend tends to push sweeter, bolder, more intense profiles, which is exactly what some vapers want and a touch much for others. Against the field its strengths are its enormous flavour range and its reputation as one of the UK's biggest selling salt lines. If you want a direct head to head, our guide on Elux Legend vs Elfliq weighs the two side by side. Our look at the rise of Elux from disposables to bottled nic salts gives the background to how it got so popular.

The takeaway from those comparisons is that there is no single best brand, only the right one for your taste. If you love big, sweet, vivid flavours and a wide menu to explore, Elux Legend is hard to beat. If you prefer restraint and realism, a rival might edge it for you. Either way, the quality and value on offer here mean it deserves its place near the top of most shortlists.

The bottom line

Elux Legend earns its reputation as one of the UK's leading nic salt ranges. It delivers bold, accurate flavours, a smooth hit even at 20mg, excellent value and an enormous flavour choice, with only the sweetness of some blends as a mild caveat. For anyone moving off Elux disposables or indeed any disposable, it is a dependable, satisfying and cost effective choice that is easy to recommend.
