What Strength ELFLIQ Should You Choose?
The three ELFLIQ nicotine strengths match how much you smoked or vaped before. 20mg ELFLIQ is the standard pick for pack-a-day ex-smokers or 20mg prefilled Elf Bar switchers. It gives the firmest throat hit and the fastest nicotine satisfaction, and matches the strength inside an Elf Bar 600 single-use device.
10mg ELFLIQ suits lighter smokers, social smokers, or anyone stepping down from 20mg. It keeps the salt smoothness while softening the hit. 5mg ELFLIQ is the gentlest of the three, ideal for light ex-smokers and chain-vapers who prefer to spread nicotine over a longer session.
There is no 0mg ELFLIQ - the whole range is nicotine salt, so 5mg is the lowest you can go. If you want nicotine-free vaping, you'll need a 0mg shortfill instead.
Nic salt feels smoother on the throat than freebase nicotine at the same strength, as our guide to nic salts explains. The salt formula uses benzoic acid to lower the pH, so 20mg ELFLIQ feels far less harsh than 20mg of standard freebase.

Every ELFLIQ Flavour in the UK
ELFLIQ covers six flavour families: fruit, menthol, iced, drink-inspired, dessert and tobacco. Stock varies by strength, so a flavour might be available in 20mg but not 5mg, or sell as a 10mg exclusive. The full ELFLIQ UK list currently in stock is shown below - use it to find the exact flavour and strength you want.
What Kits Work With ELFLIQ?
ELFLIQ is sold as a bottled e-liquid only - there is no prefilled version. The 10ml bottle is made for any refillable MTL setup that takes standard nic salt, working best between 1.0 and 1.4 ohm.
The natural pairing is the Refillable Elfbar Pods Range, the brand's own hardware based on the same nic salt formula. ELFLIQ also fills any MTL refillable kit with a standard side or top fill port - Vaporesso XROS, Uwell Caliburn, and OXVA Xlim all take it without issue.
-
Vaporesso XROS 5: the most popular MTL refillable kit in the UK, takes standard nic salt at 1.0 ohm.
-
OXVA Xlim Pro 2: budget MTL workhorse with adjustable airflow.
-
Uwell Caliburn: simplest beginner refillable kit, side-fill port, 1.2 ohm coil.
-
Elfa Pro: the Elf Bar refillable system, made around the same nic salt formula.
ELFLIQ vs the Disposable Elf Bar
A 10ml ELFLIQ bottle holds roughly five times the liquid of a single Elf Bar 600, for a fraction of the cost per millilitre. You keep your refillable kit and simply top it up, which cuts both your spend and the waste of throwing away a device every couple of days.
For anyone switching from Elf Bar disposables and wanting to keep vaping long-term, bottled ELFLIQ is the obvious next step - the recurring cost drops sharply once you're refilling rather than rebuying a device each time.
How to Choose Your First ELFLIQ Bottle
- Pick your nicotine strength first. Match it to what you smoked or to your previous prefilled device - 20mg for heavier ex-smokers, 10mg for lighter habits, 5mg for tapering or chain-vaping.
- Choose a flavour family, then narrow it down to the exact flavour using the list above.
- Confirm your refillable kit takes standard 10ml nic salt bottles. Any MTL refillable kit with a side fill port will fit.
- Start with a single bottle of any new flavour, then stock up on a multi-pack once you know it suits you.
