For UK adult vapers seeking detailed insight into nic salt e‑liquids, this article compares two well‑known ranges: ELFLIQ (by the brand behind the pre‑ban disposable style devices) and the OXVA OX Passion line of nic salts. If you are a smoker looking to switch, a pod‑system user, or simply exploring flavour fidelity to previous device experiences, this comparison will describe what each range offers, how close they come in taste to the device experience you may remember, and which might suit your preferences. The tone is neutral and educational, written in UK English and designed for both beginners and experienced vapers.

Overview of the ranges

The OXVA OX Passion range is described as a 10 ml nic salt e‑liquid line formulated with a 50/50 VG/PG ratio, available in 10 mg/ml and 20 mg/ml strengths in the UK. Retail descriptions emphasise its compatibility with low‑wattage pod systems and a smooth MTL experience. 

 The ELFLIQ range is the nic salt product line from the brand behind a popular style of pre‑filled device, and its e‑liquids are noted to use flavour formulations matching what users might remember from those devices. One reviewer states that ELFLIQ nic salts “have the same great qualities found in the brand’s disposable vape range: excellent flavours, a strong throat hit, and a quick nicotine delivery”. 

Who they are for

Both ranges are targeted at adult smokers or vapers using mouth‑to‑lung (MTL) or low‑wattage pod systems rather than high‑power sub‑ohm setups. If you are accustomed to the compact, discrete device style of pre‑filled systems and want a flavour and nicotine delivery similar to that experience, both offerings are relevant. If you now use large cloud‑chasing devices or favour ultra‑low nicotine strengths below 10 mg/ml, neither range is ideally tailored for those styles.

Key flavour, strength and formulation features

The OXVA OX Passion range uses a 50/50 VG/PG ratio, and the available strengths listed are 10 mg/ml and 20 mg/ml in UK listings.  The flavour portfolio spans many variants described as fruity, fizzy or creamy. The range is marketed for pod devices and emphasises “smooth throat hits” and performance in that hardware category. 

The ELFLIQ range similarly offers nic salts with the same 50/50 ratio in many variants, and uses flavour profiles derived from the brand’s pre‑filled device heritage so users familiar with the earlier device flavours may find these familiar. 

Taste comparison and similarity to device experience

A major question for many vapers is how close the e‑liquid taste comes to the experience of previous pre‑filled devices (often now restricted by regulation). In this respect the ELFLIQ range has a clear positioning: reviewer commentary says the nic salts “have the same great qualities” as the branded disposable‑style devices, with flavour, throat hit and nicotine uptake aligned. That suggests a strong similarity to that previous device experience. The OXVA OX Passion range meanwhile states that it is developed to match “pod devices” and provides flavour delivery “designed for refillable pod kits”. 

 In direct terms, if your main criterion is “which tastes closer to the previous device model I used”, ELFLIQ may have the edge because of explicit heritage in that device category. However the OXVA OX Passion range may offer broader flavour choices and delivers strong performance in compatible hardware.

Pros and limitations of each

ELFLIQ’s advantage is that if you were using the branded disposable‑style device and liked its flavour profile, you are more likely to recognise the same taste identity in the e‑liquid form. The formulation aims to replicate that experience. On the other hand, some user reviews note that the flavour intensity can be high, and for all‑day use the sweetness or flavour punch might be more than some users prefer. 

 The OXVA OX Passion range’s advantage is flavour variety, device optimisation for refillable pods and smooth throat hit in MTL hardware. Its limitation may be that if you are strictly comparing to a previous disposable experience you might find slight differences in draw feel, vapour characteristic or flavour intensity. Also device matching matters: if you use hardware unsuited to 50/50 ratio you may not get the full intended effect.

Which is closer to the earlier device flavour identity

Given the specific question of “Which tastes closer to disposables?”, the ELFLIQ range arguably has stronger claim. As quoted, the e‑liquid line is produced by the same brand that made widespread pre‑filled devices and uses flavourings “the same great qualities found in the brand’s disposable vape range”. The implication is that flavour identity and nicotine delivery were intentionally aligned. The OXVA OX Passion range, while high quality, is not explicitly positioned as replicating a specific disposable device flavour identity but rather as high‑performance nic salts for refillable pods. If you are migrating from older device formats and want closest replication, ELFLIQ may satisfy that nostalgia. If you are open to a broader, flavour‑rich and modern pod‑system experience, OXVA OX Passion is a strong alternative.

Flavour and experience observation

When reviewing user feedback, OXVA is praised for “an almost bizarrely good understanding of flavour pairings and balances” in the OX Passion line. misteliquid.co.uk Meanwhile with ELFLIQ reviewers mention strong fruit output, intense sweetness and strong throat hit reminiscent of pre‑filled device flavour. Ecigclick+1 The key takeaway is that both deliver high flavour performance, but the style differs: ELFLIQ leans more towards the signature “device‑style” flavour known from earlier pre‑filled systems, while OXVA OX Passion delivers flavour with a slight focus on refinement and device compatibility.

Device pairing and user advice

For both ranges ensure your hardware is suited. With nic salts and 50/50 VG/PG liquids, low‑wattage pod systems or MTL coils are appropriate. Avoid high‑power direct‑to‑lung kits or coils designed for high VG liquids. Wicking, airflow and coil resistance must match the liquid form. If you try either range in an unsuitable device the flavour may feel off, throat hit may be harsh or vapour may be excessive. Also match nicotine strength to your previous intake and style to maintain satisfaction. Use the flavour you enjoy and the device you use best.

Health and regulatory context

As with all nicotine‑containing e‑liquids in the UK, both ranges must comply with the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations. That means limits on nicotine strength (maximum 20 mg/ml in 10 ml bottles), child‑resistant packaging and labelling. The flavour offerings are for adult smokers or vapers and are not intended for non‑smokers, young people or pregnant women. While vaping is widely seen as lower risk than smoking combustible cigarettes, it is not risk‑free. Device maintenance, correct strength selection and usage patterns remain important.

Summary

In comparing OXVA OX Passion and ELFLIQ nic‑salt ranges, if your primary aim is to find a flavour experience as close as possible to earlier disposable‑style devices you used, then ELFLIQ holds a slight advantage in terms of heritage and flavour identity. If instead you are looking for flavour versatility, smooth MTL performance, and optimisation for pod devices, OXVA OX Passion offers a compelling choice. Both ranges deliver high‑quality nic salt liquids with UK‑compliant strengths and formulation features. Your best choice will depend on your device, flavour preference, and whether replicating a previous device taste or exploring new flavour territory is more important to you.
