Elux Legend 8000 Pods: Replacement Pods, How to Change & Fixes
Elux Legend 8000 pods let you keep your rechargeable device and simply restock your flavour, instead of buying a whole new kit. The Elux Legend 8000 is compatible with Elux Legend 8000 Replacement Pods, which use the same prefilled, no-mess design as the kit. This guide explains how the Elux 8000 pods system works, how to get the most from each pod, how to fix common problems, and what the October 2026 vape duty means for pod prices.
Key facts
- The Elux Legend 8000 kit works with Elux Legend 8000 Replacement Pods

- Keep the rechargeable device and restock flavour

Prices checked 28 September 2026.
Vape duty price rise: from 1 October 2026 the UK Vaping Products Duty adds 22p per ml of e-liquid, and VAT on the duty takes the total to 26.4p per ml (GOV.UK). The Elux Legend 8000 holds 12ml, so once duty-paid stock arrives we estimate each kit will cost about £3.17 more, around £10.96 instead of £7.79. We are holding today's prices on existing stock for as long as it lasts. Full breakdown: Elux Legend 8000 price after the vape tax.
How the Elux Legend 8000 Pod System Works
The Elux Legend 8000 pairs a rechargeable battery device with a prefilled pod and refill setup. The e-liquid comes sealed and ready to use. When your flavour runs out, you remove the used pod and fit a compatible replacement, then carry on with the same device. For the full product overview, see our Elux Legend 8000 prefilled pod kit guide.
UK rules limit a vape tank to 2ml and a refill container to 10ml (GOV.UK). Pod-and-refill systems like this one are how manufacturers offer bigger puff counts while staying within those limits.
Why Use Replacement Pods Instead of a New Kit?
- Lower running cost: you are not paying for a new battery and device every time.
- Less waste: the rechargeable device keeps going, rather than going in the bin.
- Easy restocking: no bottles, no spills and no coil changes.
- Flavour freedom: switch flavours whenever you like.
- Legal and future-proof: rechargeable, reusable kits are the legal route after the single-use vape ban. More in Reusable Vapes Explained.
How to Change an Elux Legend 8000 Pod
- Check the device is not firing, then remove the empty pod.
- Take the new pod out of its packaging and remove any seals or caps as shown in the instructions.
- Fit the new pod firmly until it sits securely.
- Wait a moment for the e-liquid to soak the wick before your first puff.
- Take a few gentle draws to get it going.
Always follow the instructions supplied with your pods, as fitting can vary between batches. For general advice, see How to Use Prefilled Pod Kits for Beginners.
How to Get the Most From Each Pod
- Take gentle, steady MTL draws rather than long, hard pulls.
- Recharge the device when the battery runs low, while usable e-liquid remains.
- Store pods upright, at room temperature and out of direct sunlight.
- Keep a spare pod of your favourite flavour so you are never caught short.
Common Problems and Fixes
| Problem | Likely cause | What to try |
|---|---|---|
| Burnt taste | Wick not fully soaked, or pod nearly empty | Wait a few minutes after fitting a new pod; replace the pod if it is empty |
| Weak or no vapour | Battery low | Recharge the device |
| Device not firing | Pod not seated properly | Remove and refit the pod firmly |
| Gurgling | Very hard or long draws | Use gentler, shorter MTL puffs |
Which Flavours Are Available?
The kit comes in 22 flavours, from Blue Razz Gummy and Watermelon ICE to Triple Mango, Fresh Mint and Menthol. See every option in our best Elux Legend 8000 flavours guide. Replacement pod flavours are being added to the Elux Legend 8000 Replacement Pods collection, so check there for current stock and pricing.
Will Elux 8000 Pods Go Up in Price?
Yes. From 1 October 2026, all vaping liquid carries a duty of £2.20 per 10ml, including nicotine-free liquid (GOV.UK). VAT is charged on top, making 26.4p per ml. Because it is based on volume, pods and refills rise in line with how much liquid they hold. For the 12ml Legend 8000 kit that is an estimated £3.17 extra, taking it from £7.79 to around £10.96 once duty-paid stock arrives.
