Elfliq vs Elux vs Bar Juice 5000: which nic salt should you buy?

Elfliq vs Elux vs Bar Juice 5000: all three are 10ml nic salts based on disposable flavours, so the choice comes down to strengths, range size and price. Elfliq has the widest strength spread, Elux Legend has the most flavours, and Bar Juice 5000 is the cheapest. If you are loyal to an old disposable, buy that brand's bottle; otherwise pick on strength and price.

Side by side

Prices are standard 10ml prices at the two UK stores we track, checked 2 November 2026. Each flavour page lists both stores, so you can see the current price before you buy.

You can browse the full Elfliq range to see which of your old Elf Bar flavours made it into a bottle.

Elfliq vs Elux

This is mostly a question of which disposable you liked. Elfliq bottles Elf Bar flavours; Elux Legend bottles Legend flavours. On the numbers, Elux offers far more choice (83 flavours against 46), while Elfliq is better for lighter users, with 5mg on 40 flavours against Elux's 20. Elfliq was also 10p cheaper per bottle at the cheaper store, and the gap was bigger at the other store (£2.89 against £3.89).

Both have a Blueberry Sour Raspberry, so you can compare like for like: Elfliq Blueberry Sour Raspberry and Elux Legend Blueberry Sour Raspberry.

Bar Juice 5000 vs Elfliq

Bar Juice 5000 is the budget pick at £2.39 and had every one of its 52 flavours in stock when we checked. It is UK-made, and it is the only one of the three with a 15mg option, which suits people caught between 10mg and 20mg. Elfliq costs 10p more at the cheaper store but gives the official Elf Bar flavour, which matters if that is what you are used to. Compare Bar Juice 5000 Strawberry Ice with Elfliq Strawberry Ice to see which you prefer.

Elux vs Bar Juice

Elux Legend wins on variety, with 83 flavours including the Firerose 5000 line. Bar Juice 5000 wins on price and stock. Elux's Firerose flavours were only listed at one of the two stores we track, while every Bar Juice flavour was at both. If you want to try lots of flavours, Elux; if you want the same flavour cheaply every week, Bar Juice.

Flavours all three ranges make

Seventeen flavours appear in all three ranges, which makes a direct comparison easy if you want to taste the difference yourself. A few of the most popular:

The others shared by all three are Apple Peach, Banana Ice, Blueberry, Blueberry Cherry Cranberry, Blueberry Sour Raspberry, Cherry Cola, Fizzy Cherry, Grape, Kiwi Passionfruit Guava, Lemon and Lime, Strawberry Ice and Strawberry Kiwi. Every flavour page has a section showing the same flavour in the other ranges.

Where each range is strongest

Elux Legend leans hard into sweets and drinks, with 16 candy-style flavours and 12 drinks flavours on our list. Elfliq has the most tobacco options of the three, at three. Bar Juice 5000 matches Elux on ice flavours, with 11 each, at a lower price. Our nic salt flavours page groups every flavour by type across all three ranges.

Strength options in detail

All three sell every flavour in 10mg and 20mg, so for most ex-disposable users strength will not decide it. The difference is at the edges. Elfliq offers 5mg on 40 of 46 flavours, the best choice for anyone cutting down. Bar Juice 5000 offers 5mg on 31 flavours and is the only range with 15mg, on 8 flavours. Elux Legend offers 5mg on 20 flavours, and none of its Firerose flavours come in 5mg. If you are unsure which strength suits you, the strength guide explains how to choose, and the 5mg nic salts page lists every low-strength option.

One practical tip if you are torn: buy one bottle of the same flavour from two ranges and vape them a few days apart in the same pod kit, priming a fresh pod for each. It is the only honest way to settle which one you prefer, and at under £2.60 a bottle it costs less than a coffee.
