This is such a good way to enjoy vaping. Elf Bar have nailed it. I find the flavours last longer than usual bars and happy with how long the carts last. I have 4 or 5 pens scattered around and keep spare carts in the car and rucksack so never run out. I also like to make use of the multibuys so get 3x of about 5 or 6 flavours and keep a healthy variety of stock.
Vape Club have been bang on next day delivery so all in a good 5* from me!🙂
By Dids from Hampshire
I have managed to stop smoking for 7 weeks thanks to these. I can't fault them, handy, easy and quick to charge, pod flavours are lovely, ordering is easy and next day delivery, what's not to like? I won't be going back to smoking, thanks Vape Club!
By Ross from Glasgow
Completely addicted to Elf Bars and when walking around all you see is disposed empty Elf Bars and packaging! Wanted something long lasting with the same taste, inhale and flavour.
I have to say this is better than an Elf Bar as you never lose any liquid, it's easy to recharge and the flavours are outstanding! Plus the pods are half the price.
Guess I won't be stopping any time soon 🤣
By Steffie from Bolton UK
So simple to use and a good choice of flavours. I already have the Elf bar mate but definitely prefer this one.
No leakage, great flavour strength and rapid charging. Would be better if a charging cable was included.
By Sarah
I love these kits because they're simple to use, not messy, are very light, and easy to travel with. My mum is now considering giving up smoking because they're so hassle free. Very happy with the range of pod flavours. Can't imagine going back to sub ohm vaping now.
By Ellie from Birmingham
Its amazing, it comes with a free pod and tastes really good. The flavours strong, it looks and feels like a normal elf bar and it doesn’t take long to charge. I would definitely recommend.
By Robna from West London
Very easy device to use but the pods do not last, I found myself using 2 a day and the battery isn't great.
The flavours are really good, my favourite being the cola.
By Char from Blackburn
Decided to try this out as I was buying 3/4 disposables a week! Been amazing so far battery lasts longer than expected and charged up quickly. All flavours I’ve tried so far have been lovely and smooth and last a good 4/5 days which is more than when I smoked the disposables! Love
By Sammy from Sussex
Always purchasing disposables, so thought I’d try this out for a change. Great rechargeable and full of flavour too. Saves changing coils on the regular vape kits. A great light weight vape!
By Bilko from Newport Wales
This rechargeable/pod device is perfect. the pods work out cheaper to buy then buying the disposable ones, I would say the pods don’t last as long as a disposables but I do puff it quite a lot during the day.and battery life is good but do have to charge it every evening but that’s no big deal.
By Holly from Edinburgh
I bought this last week after usubg the elf bar mate for 8+ months but wanting a similarly easy but satisfying pod device.
If that's what youre looking for, this isnt it. Or it wasnt for me- Im not sure if my device is defective as the pods dont sit in the pen smoothly and rotate left to right. (One of the tiny connectors by the gold pins inside the pen is a tiny hole through into the device and the one opposite it is covered over with a cap.?)
I notice only one other person has mentioned he drag it but the drag is very weak and you have to inhale very hard to get a pull on the device. I cant comment on the pods as a consequence as im barely getting the flavour of them. Nothing like an elf disposable or the elf mate which i would 100% recommend over this. The mouthpiece is more user friendly and the pods firmly click into place with force.
By Steve
Good product, battery lasts well, easy to change pods
By Okenzie from Aylesbury
I wouldn’t use any other product now! These are brilliant value for money as you are saving a small fortune! The ability to save the environment with these rechargeable vapes, whilst saving money at the same time is a game changer for me!
Using the pods which come in packs of two, which essentially gives you 2 vapes for the price of one.. you can’t go wrong. Sleek design, very smooth and easy to use. Holds its charge very well. Colour choice is awesome, as they look slightly different to the disposables you can buy, so everyone notices it’s different! So good, I own two.. so I can continue to use whilst one is on charge. Don’t think about it, BUY IT! Not had a single issue with these! Highly recommend!
By Katie from West Yorkshire
This product is perfect for someone who likes the taste of disposable ecigs but doesn’t like the price of them, I have tried multiple pod system ecigs, with pre-filled pods and reusable pods and nothing has made me stick until this, I would never go back! The price of the pre-filled pods for the device and for how long the battery life is this is perfect and the flavours are a 10/10
By ChrisFTD from Fife
Vapes almost identical to the disposables and the flavour is good, great for environment as can be recharged. But I’ve found the pods barely last at all when compared with the disposable so can’t recommend
By Lynx from Norwich
I find these a lot easier to use and a little cheaper than the disposable Elfbar….good choice of flavours and brilliant customer service!
By C23
The kit charges quickly and tends to hold a good amount of charge, rarely running out in a days use. I'd have liked there to be more colour options like the mate500 however this seems to have a much smoother draw than the mate500 and the pods seem to last longer.
By Anonymous
Great flavour but pods only seem to last half the time and taste burnt quickly.
By Bethann from Paisley
When I stopped smoking I initially used the disposable vapes.
Then I discovered the rechargeable vapes!
Not only do they work out a lot cheaper but they charge up quickly and are better for the envionment as you only dispose of the refill pods and not the whole thing (With disposable vapes you are disposing of batteries as well which need to be recycled differently).
I have two elf bars so while I am using one, the other can be charged up ready to go when the first one runs out of charge.
By Matt from Lincoln
I’ve used both the elfbar mate and this and honestly the pods’ flavours are extremely superior on this devise, I just find that each pods last half the time which is a shame. I usually buy one or two packs of pods with my orders as a treat because I do love the flavours.
By Matt from Lincoln
Expensive to run, the pods only last around a day each for me, but the flavours are far superior to the elfbar mate devise
By Monkeyringmaster from Suffolk
Hugely saves money in the long term. The pods are way more tasty too and you save money.
My only complaint is that when the pods burn out, they go from normal to a throatful of burn out nastiness in one drag without warning and it's very unpleasant.
By Tee from UK
This vape is very light and the pods are held in by magnets which makes it very easy to remove and change pods, ideal for arthritic hands.
By Ktdreams
The Elfa charge only takes around an hour for full charge, lasts anywhere between 2 and 5 days depending on use and the flavours are strong! Great deal
By Nicole from Gloucestershire
Great vape pen. Just like the disposable elf bars. But better. I love being able to switch up the flavours :)
By Adam from Manchester
Battery doesn’t last very long but nor does a disposable elf bar. Handy for changing flavours when you’re bored, cheap as chips and tiny enough to carry anywhere. Perfect as a back up as well. Buy 2!
By RTKT from Watford
Really easy to change pods. Great flavour choices and slick designs. Would recommend
By Redsladuk from UK
I wanted to cut down on all the single use elf bars I had piling up in my cupboards, so this was the obvious choice. It looks and feels very much like a typical elf bar, and the black design is particularly stylish in my opinion. The pods are easy to replace and the whole thing is very no-nonsense and easy to use. My only gripe is the light. It flashes when the battery needs charging (which is very much stating the obvious). Feel like a heads up in advance would be better? And I’ve no still no idea how you know the pod needs changing except getting a lack of flavour / burnt taste. But for the price, I’m happy, and it works out much cheaper than the disposables!
By Luce from Bristol
the price matches the quality. for a heavy vaper the battery life is not good and there is no resistance when taking a hit.
By Delene from Doncaster
There are amazing really easy to use and affordable
By Donnajaneindigo from Manchester
Love this, great flavour and comfortable design. My only complaint is you can’t see how much juice is left, but I’m willing to let that go lol, I do use this a lot
By Z
First time trying a rechargeable. I’m a big fan of the elf disposables so wanted something similar. The hit is the same if not better than disposable and flavour is strong.
One pod has lasted me a day as opposed to two days with the disposables but that may be because I’ve just puffed more not sure.
Either way, the rechargeable options are better as it’s less waste and can just recharge instead of waiting to go out and buy one. So I’m very pleased.
Charges very quickly too and lasts all day. 10/10 love it.
By AJ from Kent
Great kit and great vape flavour. The disposable pods work out cheaper than buying a new bar each time, roughly half the price still with Great flavour.
By Cam
Great little compact kit, same shape and size of a standard elf bar. My only issue is that refill pods can be a bit limited in comparison to the standard elfbar flavour range.
By Nat from London
Tastes as good as the disposables. I used to use the mate but didn’t rate it much.
A single charge usually lasts me 24 hours-ish. I go through a pod s day which is probably about the same as when I used disposables (maybe slightly less)
Only criticism is it would be nice to be able to see how much is left rather than waiting for it to taste burnt. Also a bit of warning about low battery would be good.
By Yas from Bristol
Use to smoke the disposable elf bars and always use to hate having to throw the whole thing in the bin. Dosent take long to charge. Great product.
By Adam from Uk
I like how fast this charges, its a nice colour and just like the disposables gives nice hits with the pods. Glad i decided to try this
By Anonymous
Really good vape, easy to use and quick charging
By Saff from Hailsham
Love this, I have the two aurora colours. Same feel and taste as the disposables. A pod lasts me a day, just wish there were refillable pods with this as prefer it to the elfmate 500 I also have. So much better environmentally and economically than disposables too.
By Jas from London
My new favourite vape product. I wanted to make the switch from disposables and this is the closest flavour and hit to disposable elf bars. The pods come in amazing flavours. I will definitely be buying one in every colour and trying all the flavours next. This even comes with a blue razz pod in the pack! This flavour is delish
By Beastlybaker from Isle Of Man
Its very similar to the disposables just reusable and will probably work out cheaper than constantly going for the through aways.
By Bees from England
Taste just like the disposables but works out way cheaper. Have really helped me cut back on tobacco. Love it!
By Kaz from Cheshire
I LOVE my Elf bar Elfa pod kit. I've been a smoker for 44 years, for the last 10 yrs i smoked 40 plus a day, due to illness. Anyways I've NOT smoked for almost 7 weeks now, thanks to my elf bar n blue razz lemonade pods😉. I have tried to quit before n never managed it, I still have some cigarettes in the kitchen cupboard incase I need/want one. Up.to now I'm good, coz the elf bar done.it for me!! I now have 2, some lovely colours as well!!
By Vaper
Good vape, pods taste nice too.
Very easy to use, only downfall is that you don't know when it is nearly dead so it can die unexpectedly
By Kris from Suffolk
Nice little vape pen last all day with good flavours to choose from the only downside is the pods only last me a day but I would recommend if you are looking for a starter vape
By B from United Kingdom
DO NOT BUY! Please read… I bought one of these and 2 pods, for the same reasons everyone else seems to; massive fan of elf bars, wanting something more cost effective and better for the environment. I got one of these and to say I’m bitterly disappointed is an understatement. The first one I bought was broken out of the box (not charging, no light) so had to change it for another one of the same. Then I got two pods. Firstly, there is no indication of how much liquid is left (I know that’s the same with the disposables but at least with them you can start to tell when it’s running out) so when it does run out, you get a full lungful of burning battery taste. It literally goes from flavour to that without any warning. This happened after less than 24 hours use (I slept for 8+ hours and the rest of the time I was at work, so not vaping constantly), so I thought maybe I had another dud and used the next one. Same again, less that 24hrs use. I’ve gone through 3 packs of 2 pods now and it’s the same for every one. The disposables last for a couple of days at least and that’s with constant vaping. This is woefully below elf’s usual standard and it’s going in the bin. DO NOT BUY!
By M from U.K.
Very easy, straightforward chargeable pen to use with pods. Great for travel (keep the pods with liquids) Nice design & colours.
By Mrolo from England
Lasts for a while and instead of buying new elf bars all the time you can just buy the pods. Money saver and flavours are stronger
By Rmsa94 from Birmingham
Amazing. It can be recharged and is less waste than the Elf bar. Last a all day. Recommend.
By Ems from Oxford
I opted for the reusable version after going through lots of elf bars and feeling guilty for the constant waste I was creating. I found the pods last a merely 24 hours and burn out almost immediately after charge.
I have tried different flavours and found this has happened with them all. It also overheats fairly quickly which leaves you with the awful burnt taste similar to a seriously burnt out coil in a regular vape.
Other than it’s lovely look and first great 10 puffs I wouldn’t recommend. There are too many improvements needed first.
By PTay from Cardiff
Nice and sleek device looks identical to the elf bar disposables but has a ring light on the base when you vape it and whilst it's charging. Feels great in the hand it's not too small or too big and fits into pockets with ease. Does have a few flaws though. The pods are a black plastic design so you never know how much e liquid is left in there so you only find out when the horrid burnt taste starts, Flavours of the pods are great almost identical to the disposables but they never seem to last as long. A disposable elfbar would easily last me 2 days with moderate use. These pods don't even last me 24 hours so not as economical as it sounds. It's almost perfect but I'd say the mate 500 is a lot better
By Anonymous
I have both this vape and the elf bar mate kit. Each have their pros and cons, this one has the pro of having the feel of an actual elf bar as it is the same size. This kit also has pods which are more funky flavoured, unavailable for the elf bar mate. However, this isn't always good, if you want the standard flavours. Either way, Ive saved so much money using this
By Parks
These are a great alternative to the disposable bars in terms of the environment and money - 1 charge lasts me the whole day.
The refill pods last about as long for me as the disposables as a casual user.
The flavours taste slightly different but still nice, the only small downside is the burnt taste when the refill pods are empty but can easily be swapped out quickly for a new one.
This is a good swap from the disposables if you're considering changing.
By Kit
Very good and the pods come in packs of 2 so you save money compared to the disposables
By KM from Stafforshire
Have been using the disposables for a while and wanted to swap to a more economical/environmentally friendly alternative.
Decided to try this model as it looked similar to the disposables. Initially was pleased with the battery life and the range of flavours available.
Found the pods didn't last very long and became really burnt in taste.
Changed to the Elfbar Mate 500 instead and so far have been much more impressed.
By IvyVaper from Wales
I’ve tried loads of different pod systems but this one (and the elf mate 500) is the only one I like. The pull on it when you vape is just right, it lasts ages, and it’s so convenient to use! The flavours are spectacular and I haven’t come across a pod system with so many flavour options. I love this little device.
By ChelleBell from Plymouth
For only £7.99 it comes with 1 free pod. I get the blue one as the pod that comes with that is blue ras lemonade, my fave. Easy and fast to charge with mobile phone charger. Highly recommend
By KBJ from Essex
I have been using these since they’ve been released now and I can say they are a lot better than the 500’s. The flavour is more identical to the original disposables and the larger vapes that I used to use, but got sick of lugging something so heavy around.
The only downfall with flavour however is the lack of options. I don’t see how they haven’t been able to release a larger supply of different flavours, similar to what they stock with the disposables (my first recommendation being Apple Peach)- Seeing as it’s probably the same juice, just being heated with a different coil, wattage etc., producing a slightly different flavour and ‘throat hit’.
Also another thing I would love to see would be the option of buying a larger bulk package, thus using less packaging in the process. Considering most people are (hopefully) using these to quit smoking, it’s safe to say we are going through ‘em like a chimney on some days.
But hey, all-in-all a great all-round easy introducer into the vaping world for a large population of smokers who simply won’t quit because of changing coils, refilling tanks, remembering to charge the bloody thing in the evening before going on a piss up.
By Piers from Surrey
I will keep this as short as possible. I really wanted this product to be as good as it seems on paper, but the pods simply don't last as long. I believe they do have the same 2ml of e-liquid in them, but perhaps the cotton/sponge is different and that impacts longevity.
Considering I'm coming from around 50 'analogues' (not sure if the C word is allowed) per day to vaping, my nicotine needs are likely going to be higher than most.
1. Flavour and Pod Life Test - Elfa vs Disposable - Methodology:
- I used one new, sealed Elfa pod in a fully-charged Elfa and one new, sealed Elf Bar 600.
- I follow a very strict routine which is identical on each weekend day.
- I wrote down the time I took the first puff and the time I tasted the burnt flavour twice in a row (or with the disposable, when the blue LED flashed).
- I used the same flavour for both (Elfbull)
2. Flavour and Pod Life Test - Elfa vs Disposable - Results (rounded):
Elf Bar Elfa:
- Flavour Before Burnt: 5h 35m / 335m
- Consistent Flavour
Elf Bar 600:
- Flavour Before Burnt: 6h 45m / 405m
- Consistent Flavour
- Flavour Profile: Elf Bar Elfa is ever so slightly sweeter
3. Conclusion:
- Whilst subjective, flavours appeared to be almost identical to the point where both provided a good, consistent flavour.
- The 'throat hit' feels the same.
- The Elfa's battery lasted far longer than the pod
- The Elfa's pod did, under the same conditions, not last as long as the Elf Bar 600 disposable.
- In terms of value proposition (based on long-standing multibuy deals on VC), the Elfa comes out ever so slightly cheaper but has the hassle of ~100 minutes to charge.
Overall, disappointing and pushes me back towards disposables.
By Ukvaper_2002 from England
It’s identical to the Elf Bar 500 however the pull is a lot more smoother and the flavour is stronger.
It’s compact and perfect for my needs however the pod sometimes comes out on its own.
Great purchase, don’t regret it.
