Really pleased with this product. For the price it's brilliant. Good battery, reliable, small and very easy to carry around but not small enough to lose. Very satisfied
By Phil from Southport
I use a sky solo vape and I love it but it leaks like hell. So the elfabar comes in handy when I'm out and about. The sky solo stays at home, (stood upright) and the elfa goes everywhere with me. It is a decent vape, but it really does give an horrific taste when it runs out, with no warning. Simple to use and quick charging. Most importantly, no leaks!
By Tracey from Watford
Product looks great but the flavours of the pods are not so strong, you cant see how much you have left in the pod and also the pod quality is not as good as the Elf Bar 500 pods. Brought this as I thought it would be an upgrade but have gone back to using the Elf Bar 500 as its a better vape
By Helenj311265 from Cambridgeshire
Discovered these and this is my now "go to vape" the range of pods is great and I generally have disposable to hand should it run out, but quick to charge even on the go!

I have just recently started using these for pods. I find them great and get a better drag from them and you just charge them with usual cable. My fav flavours is blueberry raz lemonade and banana. I feel they save me money as well.

Pros -
The taste.
Less waste, so better for the environment.
Easy to use.
Cons -
The pods last for all of 2 seconds.
You get no warning that you're about to run out of juice other than a very unpleasant burnt taste.
You can't see how much liquid is in the pods.
Some pods just leak like mad and are just unusable.
Some pods straight up don't fit and rattle round in the devise
I'd advise getting this as a better alternative to disposables in regards to the environment, but certainly not your bank account.
I've spent probably close to £100-130 on pods for this in less than a month, just to put that into perspective.

To start off with these seem great - they’re cheaper and you can swap out flavours as you want. However I quickly learnt this was a waste of money and you should stick to the normal disposables. The flavours taste different than usual, they run out quicker, battery randomly cuts out then comes back and they leave a disgusting burnt taste. This wasn’t with just with one of the flavours but with all the ones I tried.
By JT from Derby
Absolutely banging vape is amazing and the flavour is way better than disposables. Replacement pods are much better for money!
By Anonymous
Nice flavours, good length of charge, recently brought but first pod lasted around 2 days, so far so good
By Kaz from New Forest
These are gorgeous! More substantial for the environment than the one use elf bars, these also look cute - would recommend
However you don’t get a charging lead so make sure you are able to charge these with the correct lead
By Cam from UK
System isn't good definitely get the Elf Mate P500 instead I think it's called it's a much better system as the pods have their own little coil and tank of liquid that you can see go down as you use it the Elfa Bar pods use the same system as the 600 puff disposable Elf Bars and there is no indication of when there is no liquid left and you take a puff and boom nasty burnt cotton taste
By Kim from Bolton
I really wanted to like this product. Everything about it on paper sounds perfect. An elf bar with much less of the horrific waste that comes with them, rechargeable to get every last drop of juice from the cotton.
What you actually get is a disappointing waste of time and money.
The device itself is sturdy and feels just like an elf bar. The charging port is decent and the pods can be changed with your eyes shut. Except changing the pods is something I have become all too familiar with!
The pods do not last half as long as a disposable or the Mate. Feels as if this has totally been done on purpose to keep those holes burning in my pocket.
A standard elf bar lasted me just over a day. One pod in this lasts half a day if I am lucky and wow the taste can be nasty when it runs out. You could avoid the nasty burnt taste if the pods weren't also inconveniently opaque.
So if you are considering this particular device, don't. Get the Mate or stick with standard Elf bars.
By Antony9955
I bought this to replace the elf bar mate 500 but this one is harsher on the throat and the pods definitely don't last as long either.
By DJK from Edinburgh
I had been enjoying the Elfbar disposables, but also went down the Elfbar 500 route. It might be me but the 500 didn’t seem to last as long as the disposables, but at least you can see what you have left in the pod. The ELFA replicates the disposable shape which I enjoy and the vape flavours seem to be better than the 500, but that’s all the positives I can muster for this product. There is simply no way a pod with the ELFA lasts anywhere near Elfbar’s disposables and very soon you are left with a nasty burnt taste and no way to see how much liquid you have (suspect it’s an impregnated cotton wick). I like the look of it, I like the taste of it, but I’m definitely not impressed by the longevity of the pods, so a bit of a fail from me Elfbar.
By Em from Kent
Really wanted to like this with the classic elf bar design but cheaper and rechargeable so better for the environment, but unfortunately the pods let it down quite alot. Love the range of flavours but they are definitely not the same 2ml 600 puff, within less than half the time it starts to taste burt. Really like the way it hits but just really disgusting taste within a day. 2 pods for 5.99 really isn't cheaper than disposables when they only last half the time!
By Luff from Sussex
If your not too bothered about the pods lasting about half the time the disposables would they I would recommend getting this. The variety of colours is also a nice benefit. But for me it wasn't a winner as the pods didn't last long at all.

Like so many others I found myself reaching for disposable vapes over my sub-ohm mod. This is a more cost affective alternative, the battery life is decent, the pods are flavourful and produce a nice amount of vape.
By Dazza from UK
I bought this to upgrade my Elf Bar Mate 500, which I thought was heavy on the juice.
I shouldn't of bothered!!
Out of the 6 pods I purchased with it 1 leaked and 2 never worked at all.
The 3 that did work lasted less time than the Elf Bar Mate 500 pods.
Its only plus is that it's cheap as it has gone straight in the bin.
Shame really as I like the Elf bar flavours.
The star is for Vape Club as there service was as spot on as ever.
By Connor from Worthing
I rarely write bad reviews but this honestly is a poor product. The pods literally don’t even last half as long as an elf bar, there is no warning they’re running low on juice as you can’t see how much is left so you suddenly get a nasty burnt hit. Don’t bother
By Juliejuls from South Wales
I do like this pod like better than the Elf Bar Mate. I think it resembles the Elf Bar disposables better and I feel it gives a drier smoke. Whereas I felt the Mate had that liquid feeling. I do agree with the other reviews the pods definitely do not last longer and when they run out there is a burnt taste but I think overall the flavours and taste are very good. Battery life is good too. Not sure is it working out cheaper because the pods do not last longer. I have bought some more pods but think I will end up going back to the disposables.
By Zo
Amazing, best disposable so far. Cheaper cause you don’t have to buy device over and over. Environmentally Friendly too. Usual great elfbar taste although I’m missing cotton candy ice. Battery is reliable and easy/fast recharge make it convenient.
Fantastic, ergonomic design, very convenient. If you love elfbar because all of that above, you’ll love ELFA.
Convenient,cheaper, and reliable great taste.
By Ozmosis27 from London
Very dissapointed with this product.
One pod last way shorter than the mate 500 or disposables.
Great taste and hit but you definitely do not get 600 puffs per pod.
By Jack from London
Design is great and battery is good for a rechargeable. Pods taste good but last about 3/4 of the disposables. Still cheaper and better for the environment though!
By HicksandHudson from Berkhamsted
Awful. Battery lasts way less than a day.
But that is not the main problem. A pod is lasting less than 8 hours of moderate use.
I have used two pods today versus a disposable Elf whixh would do a day and a half. Plus when the juice is gone these don't stop, you just get the terrible burnt taste.
Total false economy as these pods are more than 2 to 1 versus disposable.
Genuinely surprised what a bad product this is.
By Westking from Stalbridge
Having used the Mate and various disposable elf bars, I had high hopes for this one. Battery life is good but apart from that, the pods only last 300-400 puffs, the flavour isn't as good as the Mate and you get a horrible burnt taste when it's finished.
Overall very disappointed with this one!
By Anonymous
After using the disposables I've now tried the Elfa pod kit. Love the design & virtually same as the disposables. Easy to use the pods. However the charge didn't seem to last very long, the pods ran out quicker, & the awful burnt out taste when you get to the end wasn't nice.
Now having tried the Elfa Mate which I prefer, plus the bonus of being able to see the liquid so you know when it's getting to the end. Like having both of them as they do some different flavours.
By Lisa from West Sussex
I was buying the disposable elf bars so thought I'd give this a go. It's an excellent alternative, the charge last me about a day and a half, about the same time a disposable lasts me, great choice of flavor pods, its about the same size as the disposables, the pods last for the same length of time as a disposable will be sticking with this one now, its great value for money and cheaper alternative in the long run.
By Anonymous
Pods last nowhere near as long
Flavour worse
Can't see liquid
Marginally better battery life
All in all a disapointment, could be fixed by changing the pod design.
By Vic from Cardiff
Let down by this one, I have the elf mate 500 which is by far the better of the two, definitely not a 600 puff pod more like 300, also you can't tell how much juice you have left until the nasty dry burnt hit, it's a shame as I enjoy the elf flavours, but the deal breaker for me is they as yet haven't brought out ice mango for this device so I'm sticking to the mate 500 until elf get their sums right.
By John from Wrexham
You get the flavour and the hit from the nic salt but these do not last that long, the elf mate seem to last longer than these which is 500 puffs, shame really as this promised alot and it's still great just lower expectations with the pods.
By Tom
I was looking forward to the Elfa but after 4 days I'm a little disappointed.
Good quality build and feel. The navy blue looks great!
But I agree with other comments that the pods last significantly less than the disposables or the Elf Bar Mate 500. It's claimed they are the same 2ml but very much doubt it.
This has a smaller battery than the disposables but the pods run out way before the battery. Only warning you get is that horrendous burnt taste.
It vapes well and I really like the look & feel. But I prefer the Mate 500 for longer lasting and the e-juice level being visible. Always much more practical to know when a pod will need changing.
I just wish both re-chargeables had a low battery indicator rather than a sudden shut down without warning!
By Harty from Wales
Very good battery
Pods are nowhere near 600 puffs, lucky to get 300 so in balance 2 pods = 1 disposable so in fact these are not cheaper in the slightest
By AP from London
I was really looking forward to this being a fan of Elf in general.
Pros
- The familiar design we know and love
- New flavours (if like me your tired of those available with the Elf Mate of Elf Bar
- Rechargeable
- Can carry additional pods (the battery will last)
Cons
- Would be good to see how much juice is left (one thing i liked about the elf mate). Results in a few disgusting pulls at the end
- Pods do not last long - disposable elf last almost twice as long and elf mate lasts 1.5 times as long for me
By MacK from Corby
Great alternative to the disposable version tastes on the pods are identical. The battery doesn't last as long as the disposable but USB C makes it charge pretty quickly. The pods also don't last as long as the disposable bars . I would say 2 pods would last similar to 1.5 elf bars.
Marginally cheaper than disposable ones though and keeps batteries out of the landfil . I've just ordered another one to help with battery life. Recommend for light users very good all round .
By Callly from Worthing
I've been waiting for this to come out for a while and really like it as it's the same size as normal elf bar.
It charges pretty quick and lasts a decent amount of time.
My only complaint is the pods run out extremely quickly.
By The Vape Milenko from Manchester
This model is an upgrade from the Elfbar disposables. It provides a nice and smooth throat hit whilst maintaining the fantastic design that is easy to vape on. Some other brand name vapes don't allow me to hold the vape in my mouth (like a cigar) whilst driving. This one does. It has a fast charge USB C, which should be the standard for industry leading vapes. I recommend it for direct to lung and mouth to lung vapers alike.
By Peter74 from London
These might very well be the next generation of disposables.
Flavour is as good as it gets - we all love Elf bars, right?
Very practical and not just good to fill a gap, there's a chance they become the daily driver for people who commute every day and don't want to drag a heavy device around.
However, one can't see the remaining eliquid inside the pods, and the catch is that their longevity is nowhere close to 600 puffs.
400 at best, maybe less.
So, albeit practical and affordable, they are not SO much cheaper than the "full" Elf bars.
It's good to see progress... They're almost there.
By Becki
I’ve been using the disposable elf bars for a while now and had my eye on this for a while, didn’t want to keep buying disposable since it’s a waste.
-Easy to use
-Came with a pod already in the box
-Nice design
You don’t get a usb-c cable so make sure you have one of those
Can’t say much on the battery yet though
