29 March 2025 • Shane Margereson

We sell over 40 nic salt brands at Ecigone. We've tasted most of them, stocked all of them, and watched the sales data for years. In this review these are the five that customers come back for, and the five we'd recommend if you asked us.
Every brand on this list is 10ml, 50/50 VG/PG, and made for pod kits. If you're not sure what nic salts are or how they're different from regular e-liquid, our vaping glossary covers it in 30 seconds.

1. Elux Legend Nic Salts
Our biggest seller by a long way. Elux Legend nic salts are the bottled versions of the flavours that made Elux disposables so popular. Watermelon Ice, Mr Blue, Blueberry Raspberry - they're all here and they taste exactly like the originals.
The range covers 30+ flavours in 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg. Elux also has a 5mg option, which is rare for bar salt brands and useful if you're gradually dropping your nicotine. Flavour accuracy is what sets them apart. We've tried bar salt brands that claim to replicate disposable flavours and miss the mark. Elux nails it because they're using the same recipes. If you liked any Elux disposable, start here.
Elux also makes a Firerose 5000 nic salt range if you want something slightly different from the Legend lineup. Browse Elux Firerose salts.
2. Bar Juice 5000
Bar Juice 5000 was one of the first brands to bottle disposable flavours as nic salts, and they're still one of the best at it. Over 30 flavours covering fruit, menthol, candy, and drink profiles. If you can't find something you like in this range, you're probably not going to like nic salts.
Available in 10mg and 20mg. The flavours lean sweeter than some other brands, which is either a selling point or a downside depending on your taste. Triple Mango and Pink Lemonade are two of the most popular across our entire site, not just within this brand. Worth trying if you're someone who goes through disposable flavours quickly and wants variety without switching brands.
3. ElfLIQ by Elf Bar
If you used an Elf Bar disposable, ElfLIQ nic salts are the direct replacement. Same company, same flavour lab, same recipes. Elf Bar created these specifically so people could keep their favourite flavours after moving to a refillable kit.
20+ flavours in 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg. The hit is smooth even at 20mg, and the flavour stays consistent right through the bottle. Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava and Blue Razz Lemonade are two that come up constantly in customer messages. ElfLIQ is also one of the few brands where the tobacco options are worth trying. If you're an ex-smoker who hasn't found a tobacco nic salt, give these a go.
4. SKE Crystal Nic Salts
SKE Crystal nic salts came from the Crystal Bar disposable range, which was one of the most popular disposables in the UK before the ban. The nic salt line carries over those same flavour profiles in 10mg and 20mg.
18+ flavours, heavy on the fruit and ice combinations. Blue Fusion, Strawberry Burst, and Lemon & Lime are strong picks. Crystal salts tend to have a sharper menthol kick than Elux or ElfLIQ. Good fit if you like a cold, crisp exhale. Our Crystal nic salts flavour guide ranks the full range if you want to dig deeper.
5. Lost Mary Nic Salts
The newest entry on this list. Lost Mary nic salts bring the same flavour profiles from Lost Mary's hugely popular disposable and prefilled ranges into refillable bottles. Available in 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg, which gives them more flexibility than most bar salt brands.
The flavour range covers the usual Lost Mary lineup including Watermelon Ice, Triple Berry Ice, and Pineapple Ice. What we like about these is the flavour intensity. Lost Mary has always been strong on bold, punchy fruit flavours and that carries through into the nic salt versions. Good pick if you used a Lost Mary BM600 or BM6000 and want to keep those flavours going in a refillable kit.
What to Vape Them In
All five brands are 50/50 VG/PG and made for mouth-to-lung vaping. Any pod kit or MTL starter kit will work. If you're completely new, our beginner's guide walks you through picking a kit, and our nic salt strength guide helps you choose between 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg.
Don't use nic salts in a sub-ohm kit. The nicotine is too high and the liquid is too thin for high-powered coils. Stick to pod kits with coils above 0.8 ohm and you'll be fine.
