Best Elux Liquids Flavours 2025? With a Twist.

By shane margereson

Picking your next Elux vape flavour shouldn't feel like rocket science, yet here we are with endless options and conflicting opinions. With Elux Legend dominating our sales charts at Ecigone – outselling even our closest competitors by more than 10 to 1 – I figured it was time to put these Chinese-made legends through their paces.

Full transparency here: I'm typically a dessert vape enthusiast who lives for creamy custards and rich pudding flavours in my shortfills and nicotine salts. Fruit-forward disposable-inspired flavours aren't usually my cup of tea, but when a brand consistently shifts this volume, professional curiosity kicks in.

Why I Put Elux Legend to the Test

Over the past seven days, I've systematically tested not just Elux Legend's top performers, but comparable UK-made alternatives from brands like Just Juice Bar, Ohm Brew, Riot Bar, Zeus Juice, Drifter Bar Salt, Bar Drop, Chubby Salt, Vampire Vape, and IVG Intense.

The goal? Understanding exactly why Elux maintains such market dominance and whether our homegrown alternatives deserve more attention.

Here's what I discovered: these flavours pack a serious punch. We're talking, they must have approximately 30% flavour concentrate – intense doesn't begin to cover it. Even the UK alternatives I tested delivered that mega-sweet, full-flavour experience that frankly overwhelmed my usual preferences.

But here's the interesting bit – after extensive testing, I consistently noticed something distinctive about the Chinese-made Elux formulations. There's an underlying aftertaste that's not necessarily unpleasant, just different from what UK laboratories produce. It's subtle, but once you notice it, you can't ignore it.

The Quality Question: Chinese vs UK Manufacturing

This brings me to something worth considering. While Elux undeniably delivers crowd-pleasing flavours, the UK-made alternatives I tested showed superior flavour quality and satisfaction from a pure vaping perspective.

The craftsmanship is evident – cleaner profiles, more refined balance, and that satisfying vapability that keeps you reaching for more.

In today's economic climate, supporting UK businesses makes sense beyond patriotic sentiment. These smaller to medium-sized operations put genuine care into their formulations, and frankly, deserve more recognition.

At £1.99 per bottle – the same price point as Elux Liquids – there's compelling reason to explore these alternatives.

That said, Elux isn't substandard by any measure. Among Chinese import brands, it's arguably the gold standard, with consistent quality that puts many unknown brands to shame. The popularity speaks for itself.

My Honest Challenge to You

Before diving into these top 10 Elux flavours, here's my suggestion: try one UK alternative alongside your usual Elux selection. Don't just compare and dismiss – give it a genuine chance.

Yes, UK labs can't replicate that specific sweetness intensity (we simply don't have access to certain flavour compounds), but brands like Just Juice Bar, Ohm Brew, Riot Bar, Zeus Juice, Drifter Bar Salt, Bar Drop, Chubby Salt, Vampire Vape, and IVG Intense come remarkably close whilst offering something distinctly refined.

You might discover, as I have, that supporting UK manufacturers occasionally adds variety to your vaping routine whilst contributing to our domestic economy.

Ecigone's Top 10 Elux Legend Bestsellers for 2025

Right, enough context – let's examine the flavours that consistently fly off our shelves. These rankings reflect actual sales data from our online store, and I'll give you honest, unbiased assessments of each profile. These aren't marketing fluff pieces – they're genuine evaluations from someone who's tested every single option extensively.

1. Blue Razz Gummy by Elux Legend

Sweet blueberries and tart raspberries with authentic gummy candy sweetness

This one hits you like a freight train of childhood nostalgia. The blue raspberry flavour is so concentrated it's almost aggressive – think of the strongest blue slush puppy you've ever tasted, then amplify it. The gummy element isn't subtle either; it genuinely mimics that chewy texture sensation in vapour form, which is frankly impressive.

After seven days of testing, this remains one of the more tolerable intense flavours. The tartness cuts through the sweetness enough to prevent complete flavour fatigue, though I needed breaks as I usually have my OXVA vape kit in my mouth more than I don't. It's easy to understand why customers gravitate towards this – it delivers exactly what disposable users expect, with that punchy intensity they're accustomed to.

• Flavour Profile: Concentrated blue raspberry with overwhelming gummy sweetness

• Best For: Disposable users seeking familiar intensity

• All-Day Vape for Me: Moderate – requires occasional breaks

• Made in UK Alternative E-liquid: Just Juice Bar Sour Blue Razz Lime – cleaner profile, less aggressive sweetness (yes I know it has lime in but I'm trying to find the closest ones)

2. Blue Razz Lemonade by Elux Firerose 5000

Classic blue raspberry meets zesty lemonade with subtle fizzy finish

The lemonade element provides welcome relief from the blue razz intensity, creating something more balanced than its gummy counterpart. The citrus sharpness cuts through that characteristic Chinese flavour concentrate density, making it surprisingly vapable for extended periods. There's a genuine fizzy sensation on exhale that isn't just marketing nonsense.

What impressed me most was how the lemonade prevents the blue razz from becoming cloying. It's still intensely sweet by my standards, but the tartness provides essential contrast. Of all the blue razz variants, this felt most refined – though that's relative when discussing vape flavours this concentrated.

• Flavour Profile: Intense blue raspberry balanced with sharp lemonade tartness

• Best For: Those wanting blue razz with citrus relief

• All-Day Vape for Me: Good – citrus prevents complete sweetness overload

• Made in UK Alternative E-liquid: Riot Bar Blue Razz Citrus – more sophisticated balance, less synthetic aftertaste

3. Blueberry Sour Raspberry by Elux Legend

Sweet blueberries countering sharp raspberry tartness

Finally, something with genuine complexity rather than pure sweetness assault. The blueberry provides a mellow foundation that actually allows you to taste individual fruit elements rather than generic "sweet." The sour raspberry adds necessary sharpness without crossing into unpleasant territory – a delicate balance Elux manages surprisingly well here.

This was the closest Elux came to matching my usual flavour preferences. The tartness provides palate cleansing between puffs, and the fruit flavours feel more authentic than candy-inspired. It's still intensely flavoured, but in a way that showcases fruit complexity rather than overwhelming sweetness.

• Flavour Profile: Balanced fruit complexity with manageable tartness

• Best For: Vapers seeking fruit authenticity over candy intensity

• All-Day Vape for Me: Excellent – best balance in the range

• Made in UK Alternative E-liquid: Zeus Juice Bar Liq Blueberry Sour Razz – superior fruit authenticity, cleaner finish

4. Berry Lemonade by Elux Legend

Mixed berries with classic lemonade tartness

This delivers exactly what you'd expect – summer fruit salad meets sharp lemonade. The berry medley prevents monotony whilst the lemonade base provides consistent tartness throughout. It's refreshing in the way only citrus-based flavours can be, cutting through the density that characterises most Elux offerings.

The mixed berry approach works better than single fruit variants because no individual element becomes overwhelming. The lemonade ties everything together without dominating, creating something surprisingly balanced for a brand known for intensity. Still sweet enough to satisfy disposable users, but approachable for the refillable vaper.

• Flavour Profile: Mixed summer berries with refreshing lemonade sharpness

• Best For: All-day vaping with fruity refreshment

• All-Day Vape for Me: Very good – refreshing and varied

• Made in UK Alternative E-liquid: Drifter Bar Salt Pink Lemonade – more refined citrus balance, less artificial sweetness

5. Gummy Bear by Elux Legend

Authentic mixed fruit gummy sweetness

Brace yourself – this is sweetness weaponised. The mixed fruit elements are barely distinguishable beneath the candy coating intensity. It genuinely tastes like liquidised gummy bears, complete with that artificial fruit complexity that somehow works. The texture sensation is remarkable; you can almost feel the chewiness.

This represents everything intense about Chinese flavour concentrates – maximum impact, zero subtlety. After testing, I understood its appeal for sweet-toothed vapers transitioning from sugary disposables. It's not sophisticated, but it's exactly what it promises.

• Flavour Profile: Overwhelming mixed fruit candy with authentic gummy texture

• Best For: Serious sweet lovers

• All-Day Vape for Me: Limited – intense sweetness becomes overwhelming

• Made in UK Alternative E-liquid: Bar Drop Gummy Bear – identical concept, cleaner execution, less cloying

6. Grape Gummy by Elux Legend

Rich grape flavour with candy coating sweetness

Grape flavours typically taste artificial, but this captures that specific candy grape profile with remarkable accuracy. It's that purple-intensive flavour from childhood sweets – not wine grape, not fresh grape, but distinctly candy grape. The gummy element adds sweetness without completely masking the fruit base.

This works because grape candy flavour is inherently artificial anyway, so the Chinese concentrate approach suits the profile. It's bold, unmistakable, and delivers exactly what grape lovers expect. Still intensely sweet, but the grape character provides enough complexity to maintain interest longer than pure sugar assaults.

• Flavour Profile: Authentic candy grape with intense sweetness

• Best For: Grape enthusiasts seeking bold, recognisable flavour

• All-Day Vape for Me: Moderate – grape intensity requires breaks

• Made in UK Alternative E-liquid: Chubby Salt Grape Raspberry – similar boldness with cleaner grape authenticity

7. Mr. Blue by Elux Legend

Blackberries, blueberries, raspberries with cooling menthol finish

Our consistent bestseller, and after testing, I understand why. The triple berry combination provides genuine complexity – you can actually distinguish individual fruit elements rather than generic sweetness. The menthol finish isn't aggressive; it enhances the fruit without dominating, creating something surprisingly sophisticated.

This represents Elux at its best – intense flavour that serves a purpose beyond pure sweetness. The cooling element prevents flavour fatigue whilst the berry complexity maintains interest. It's still concentrated beyond my usual preferences, but the balance works. No wonder customers return repeatedly for this particular variant.

• Flavour Profile: Complex triple berry with refreshing menthol enhancement

• Best For: Berry lovers wanting cooling satisfaction without ice intensity

• All-Day Vape for Me: Excellent – cooling prevents monotony, complexity maintains interest

• Made in UK Alternative E-liquid: Vampire Vape Heisenberg – Very similar and the most famous vape flavour to come out of a UK lab

8. Strawberry Ice by Elux Legend

Sweet strawberries with crystalline cooling finish

Strawberry ice flavours are everywhere, but this version delivers authentic strawberry rather than generic red sweetness. The fruit base tastes genuinely recognisable – not artificial candy strawberry, but actual fruit representation. The ice element provides clean cooling without chemical harshness.

The balance impressed me most. Many strawberry ice variants overwhelm the fruit with cooling, but this preserves strawberry character whilst adding refreshing contrast. It's still intensely flavoured, but in service of fruit authenticity rather than pure impact. Among the more approachable options in the range.

• Flavour Profile: Authentic strawberry with clean, refreshing ice finish

• Best For: Fruit lovers seeking cooling without losing strawberry character

• All-Day Vape for Me: Very good – refreshing and fruit-forward

• Made in UK Alternative E-liquid: Drifter Strawberry Ice – superior fruit authenticity, more refined cooling

9. Strawberry Raspberry Cherry by Elux Legend

Triple red fruit medley with balanced sweetness

This ambitious combination could easily become confused fruit chaos, but somehow maintains individual character for each element. Sweet strawberry provides foundation, tart raspberry adds complexity, rich cherry delivers depth. The progression through different fruit notes creates engaging variation throughout each session.

What works here is the fruit authenticity rather than candy interpretation. Each element tastes recognisably like its intended fruit, creating genuine complexity rather than just layered sweetness. It's still intensely flavoured, but the concentration serves fruit character rather than pure impact.

• Flavour Profile: Layered red fruit complexity with authentic individual character

• Best For: Fruit enthusiasts seeking sophisticated blending

• All-Day Vape for Me: Very good – complexity prevents monotony

• Made in UK Alternative E-liquid: IVG Intense Strawberry Raspberry Cherry – similar complexity with cleaner fruit separation and very close to that sweetener everyone loves

10. Strawberry Watermelon Bubblegum by Elux Legend

Sweet strawberries and watermelon with nostalgic bubblegum finish

This shouldn't work, but absolutely does. Fresh strawberry and juicy watermelon provide familiar fruit satisfaction, then that bubblegum finish transforms everything into something genuinely unique. It's nostalgic without being childish, playful without sacrificing vapability.

The bubblegum element isn't overwhelming artificial sweetness – it's that specific nostalgic flavour that recalls childhood summers. Combined with authentic fruit bases, it creates something distinctly different in the vaping landscape. Probably the most adventurous successful flavour in their range.

• Flavour Profile: Fresh fruit base with distinctive nostalgic bubblegum character

• Best For: Adventurous vapers seeking unique, playful combinations

• All-Day Vape for Me: Good – unique enough to maintain interest, not too intense

• Made in UK Alternative E-liquid: Ohm Brew Strawberry Watermelon Bubblegum – So much more bubblegum in this one with subtle fruit I really like this

The Refillable Revolution: Why Your Kit Choice Matters More Than Your E-liquid

Here's something crucial that often gets overlooked in flavour discussions: regardless of whether you choose Elux Legend or UK alternatives, your vaping setup makes the real difference. I've been advocating refillable vape kits and pods for years – not just because they're more economical, but because they represent what vaping should fundamentally be about.

When I entered this industry, the goal was clear: help people stop smoking cigarettes, gradually reduce their nicotine dependence, and ultimately move away from vaping entirely. Refillable systems support this journey perfectly. You can control your nicotine strength, experiment with different flavours without massive expense, and most importantly, step down your nicotine levels over time.

Compare this to the current trend of prefilled kits and pods. They lock you into specific nicotine strengths, limit flavour exploration due to cost, and frankly, keep you dependent rather than helping you progress. It's the opposite of what vaping was designed to achieve.

Many of our hobbyist customers have already completed this journey – they vape 0% nicotine because they genuinely enjoy the community, the technology, and the flavour exploration. Sounds mental? Check out some of the incredible custom mods and advanced setups on our site. For these enthusiasts, vaping has become a legitimate hobby that brings people together, encourages technical learning, and provides ongoing satisfaction without any nicotine dependence.

Whether you're just starting your journey away from cigarettes or you've been vaping for years, refillable systems give you control, choice, and the flexibility to adapt your experience as your needs change. That's what real harm reduction looks like.

The Verdict: Quality vs Popularity

After extensive testing, I understand Elux Legend's dominance whilst maintaining my preference for UK alternatives. These Chinese concentrates deliver exactly what disposable users expect – intense, immediate flavour satisfaction that hits hard and fast. The consistency is remarkable, and among import brands, the quality remains reliable.

However, the UK alternatives consistently impressed with cleaner profiles, more refined balance, and superior long-term satisfaction. Just Juice Bar, Ohm Brew, Riot Bar, Zeus Juice, Drifter Bar Salt, Bar Drop, Chubby Salt, Vampire Vape, and IVG Intense may not match that aggressive sweetness intensity, but they offer something more satisfying for extended vaping – better craftsmanship that respects both flavour and vaper.

My Recommendation

Try both. Start with whichever Elux flavour appeals most from this list, then experiment with the suggested UK alternative. You might discover, as I did, that supporting domestic manufacturers adds sophistication to your vaping routine whilst contributing to our economy.

At £1.99 per bottle for either option, the investment is minimal. The potential to discover superior flavour quality whilst supporting UK business? That's worth exploring beyond brand loyalty or habit.
