If you’ve just picked up a bottle of Elux Legend Nic Salts and can’t seem to get it open, you’re not alone. These bottles are fitted with child-resistant caps, which can be a bit tricky if you’re unfamiliar with the design or if the bottle’s new and tightly sealed.

Here’s how to open one properly—and what to do if it’s stuck.

Step-by-Step: Opening an Elux Nic Salt Bottle

1. Push Down Firmly and Twist
   Hold the bottle steady in one hand. With the other, press down on the cap firmly while twisting it anti-clockwise. This push-and-turn action is required to disengage the safety lock.

2. Use a Cloth or Rubber Grip for Extra Grip
   If your fingers are slipping or the cap is on too tight, try using a tea towel, rubber gloves, or a piece of cloth to improve your grip.

3. Run It Under Warm Water
   If the bottle still won’t budge, try running the cap under warm water for 30–60 seconds. This helps loosen any e-liquid residue and softens the plastic slightly, making it easier to twist open.

4. Clean Around the Cap
   Occasionally, leaked or dried e-liquid can cause the threads to stick. Wipe around the cap and neck of the bottle with a warm, damp cloth to remove any build-up.

5. Try Pliers—With Care
   As a last resort, you can gently grip the cap with pliers while holding the bottle still. Be cautious not to squeeze too hard or damage the bottle.

Important Safety Note

Elux Legend Nic Salt bottles are intentionally designed to be child-resistant. Once open, always screw the cap back on tightly and store the bottle out of reach of children and pets. Avoid skin contact with the liquid, and never leave opened bottles unattended.

Final Word

Opening a bottle of Elux Legend Nic Salts can be frustrating the first time, but once you get the push-and-twist motion right, it becomes second nature. If you're still stuck after trying the steps above, contact your vape retailer—there may be a fault with the cap.
