I wasn’t able to justify spending hundreds a month on disposable vapes, this has been a life saver as it is rechargeable and is a fraction on my monthly cost. I have even got my friends onto these now too
By Ellie X from Kent
I wasn’t a fan and much prefer the Elfa pro/ flavours aren’t very smooth with this vape and it tastes harsh.
By Christine from Glasgow
I love my original elf bar but but the pods don't come nicotine free so when I found this refillable option I was over the moon. My wife has quit smoking and quit taking nicotine so this is perfect for her. Plz note you need 50/50 VG to refillable this
By SJ from Wiltshire
Nice little vape , good battery life and quick to charge. Good range of flavours in pre filled pods or reusable ones are under £10 for 3.
I have had no problems with leaks as some other reviews have had.
Would recommend as a good starter vape .
By Lol from Norwich
Really brilliant kit. I still have it going strong months on since I bought it. 100% recommend
By Eef
Sleek and slim device, looks so much better and discreet than other vapes. I haven't had any issues with leaking after 3 weeks and 6 pod changes. Definitely works better fully charged but battery lasts well.
By Jessie from Milton Keynes
I can't be dishonest and say that this kit is bad. its small and compact the colours are nice. The recharge and battery life are very good. it was good to start with
However, I don't like the refillable pods as they constantly leak on me and are hard to fill. Also after some use the normal pods would be like that one awkward table at a restaurant that you need to use a lot of napkins to get it level.
I bought two just incase I had a faulty device and still happened.
However, this could just be a skill issue :)
By Makesh7
Wouldn't say I'd recommend this pod device. Although it's quite sleek and slim, it just kept leaking everywhere. Leaked out all in my pocket once and that was the final straw. It's similar to an elf bar but not quite the same. Found the pods to be underwhelming in terms of flavour. I switched to an xros and didn't look back.

Such good value, works great and has lasted well. Definitely better when fully charged, but still good even at low power. Works great with either the premade pods or the refillable ones. Very lightweight and slim.
By Katie from Cambridgeshire
such an amazing product it works great. paired with the elf liquid it tastes so much better than any other vape ive tried!

Absolutely love these, been using for ages, so easy to use, good value for money and lots pod flavours to pair it with
By Lgw5 from Cambridge
So easy to use, saves me money and lots of flavoured pods to go with it.
By ZacTed02
I had this vape for a few months and I found all the flavours very nice and long lasting. However after a few months the liquid was leaking into the device and I had to stop using. Over a night a fresh pod was empty. I put it in before sleeping and by the morning it was emptied into the device.
By K from Preston
Bought as I found my disposables were running out faster than usual. Great rechargeable system that lasts me longer than a disposable does, charges fast and easy to operate, just activate the pod, click it in and its ready
By Catticus310 from Mansfield
This is my favourite draw activated reusable vape. Lightweight. Long battery life. Quick to charge.
By Nikki from Lincoln
Really easy to use kit with an abundance of flavours.. mint is my go to and this didn’t disappoint at all …
I also find it charges really quickly so an extra bonus..
By C
I have two of these vapes that alternate depending on which is charged. Great for beginners and very slim so can fit in your pocket easily. Love the inhale activation. Try it, you won't regret it!
By LeanneB from Walsall
Produced a good amount of vapour and maintains the vape flavour too. Pods last ages and it holds the charge well.
By Lyndsey from N.Ireland
After buying disposables and spending a fortune this is really saving me a lot of money . The pre-filled pods are so easy to use and haven’t experienced any leaking. Will never go back to disposable vapes now!
By ZacTed02
These seem to last so much longer than the elf bar disposables. It’s quick to charge and the flavours are great.
By Eliquid from United Kingdom
Nice, small and powerful vape. Very easy to charge with its usb c port and very easy to change the pods. It creates a large amount of vapor good for tricks but this depends on your length of draw. Overall its a very good and simple device which is worth every penny. Brilliant!
By Ami from UK
Pocket sized, quick to charge, pretty colours and easily fits in your hand.
By Tom from Brighton
It’s a great swap from disposables or smoking. Really easy to use and charges quickly.
By Lozbear from Essex
Love this little vape! Have had it for ages now and it's been hassle free. Great price and easy to use, the pods are much nicer than a lot of disposable vapes.
By Anonymous
This is fantastic value, so much cheaper than disposables and works really well. Very easy to use and get started with, pods just click in and you don't have to worry about coils etc. Works really well with either the pre filled pods or an empty one with your own flavour. Only con is the pods get a little loose after a while.
By Cait from Hartlepool
Really nice hand feel, I like when it feels like you're suzking on a kazoo rather than a straw. Bought my boyfriend a matching one in blue
By Kj
I like the design and the easy ness of this vape. But the pods do not last long at all for me. Ended up being more expensive than disposable vapes.
By DonnaH from Nottingham
Absolutely delighted with this. Works well and is good looking too. I've got the two tone green one. It's really easy to set up with the pre-filled pods, you just push it into the body of the vape, wait a few seconds and you're good to go. The pods are the equivalent to a pack of 20 and the battery life will depend on how much you use it. I've got two so that I can keep one charged at all times, but to be honest, I've not needed to do this as it charges really quickly and seems to hold the battery well. I would definitely recommend!
By John from York
Great alternative to disposables in my opinion as it reduces waste and the pods seem to last longer than a regular elfbar, would definitely recommend
By Caroline
I switched from the disposable elf bars to these a while back and so far have saved myself a small fortune. The only downside is remembering to charge it. I would recommend buying 2 so that you are never out of juice!!! 😃 the great thing though is the usb charging means I can charge just about anywhere I go!! Fab!!
By Paige
Great, simple, easy to use vape. Great vape for anyone who doesn’t want to be faffing around with coils etc.
By Anonymous
Amazing value for money! This has finally got me off the fags and onto a much more cost effective option. I have tried several different vapes over the years but finally found 1 that works. Great flavours and simple to use. Thank you Elf =)
By Lucy from Milton Keynes
So annoying as this is usually my go to vape, but the last 2 I have ordered just don’t fit the pods and they are too lose to hold a connection to the pods so you have to hold the pod down whilst you try and take a pull and the pod always tastes burnt, I’ve had to throw 3 of my brand new pods away and the vape is just too un reliable to use, was hoping the last one I brought was from a bad batch or something but don’t think I’m going to waste anymore money on hoping to get one that connects or doesn’t burn the pods, such a shame : ( vape club are amazing and will continue to use them just not happy with the product unfortunately
By Kaos from Glasgow
I already use the elfa pod kit but bought this to have more choice of flavours. Pods are easy to change and have good lasting power. Charges quickly. You can vary the airflow by covering one or both of the holes on the sides. Excellent value for money.
By CBD24 from Herts
I have had various mods and tbh the whole coil changing, leaking liquids made it more of a pain. S
Really glad a took a chance on this pod. Simple changing of pods, great selection of colours and a good choice of pod flavours. For 7.99, you can’t go wrong
By Lou from Edinburgh
I really loved this to begin with but now don't feel I will by more replacement pods. It worked great to begin with. It still charges but I think the issues are with the pods. The 2nd one I used burnt through really quickly after a few uses then the third did not work straight away and has a burnt taste and that is with the liquid that came with it. I expected more from an elf product and it seems pointless buying more replacements when 2 out of 3 were problematic. I will stick with my other brand rechargeable as never had a problem with that.
By Kenny
I used to have all sorts of pod vapes, since this one is out, i’ve only got this. Got like 4 of them going in any given time but it’s cool. Cheap, good, easy to clean, easy to use, and if it fails just pop open the backup box 😅 just pop out the internals and it can be cleaned very very easily. My only issue is that it doesn’t seem to like 3rd party liquids. Whenever i used some other brands like dr frost, elements, etc. it turned the liquids black after a few hrs, but elfliqs are decent so it’s not big an issue

I purchased this in July in the hope it would help me cut down smoking cigarettes. By the middle of July I stopped cigarettes completely and haven't touched one since! I love it. It's a great little device and the refillable pods are the best for reducing waste. They also last a fair while if you make sure you don't let the liquid go below the min line. The battery isn't amazing, but lasts a day and I've also purchased a second as a back up so I always have one to hand should I need it.
Highly recommended!!!
By Azzy1958 from Durham
These mate 500 pod vapes are fantastic, they have a really good battery life and if you buy 2 once they are both fully charged you always have 1 on standby, I use these with the refillable elf pods and my favourite oil and I can honestly say I find them fantastic, I give these a 10 out of 10 and highly recommend them.
By Matt from Uk
Not a bad little vape pen definitely saves you money there is a downfall tho I find the pods don't leak but soak up more liquid than they vaporize so you end up with a bubbling liquid when you take a puff and liquid in your mouth which kinda put me off using it but its not a terrible device I think elfbar need to take a look at the coils in the pods there's room for improvement
By Sam from Scotland
I have used the Bar Mate 500 for 3 months and whilst the battery still charges it no longer produces vape. I still think this is better for the environment and for price than the disposables. I have done several side by side taste tests with the disposables to the pods and they are pretty close in flavour and experience some like the mint there is no difference. I would reccomend this pod system and have already purchased another one.
By Jac from Cornwall
Excellent starter kit to cut down on tobacco smoking
By Kevin from Blackpool
This is such a good device for the price. A better alternative to the elf bars.
By Jess from York
Bought so many different vape kits that just don't work out for me and always end up going back to disposables. Thought I'd try this out as I was spending so much money on disposables, and I'm really enjoying it. I think this device is as close as you can get to a disposable, it's nice and smooth, with a nice throat hit and easy to use. Some flavour pods taste a lot like the disposables, and some taste slightly different.
By Jsalmo from Harrogate
I stopped smoking after 30years and struggled to find a vape I could get on with , I ordered the elf bar mate 500 with a few flavours just to see how they were , I was instantly satisfied with great flavours and so easy to use i found these a real joy , they not only seemed to last longer than disposables they were alot smoother too , I recommended to a few of my friends and we all now swap flavours. You won't be disappointed.
By Bunnybumps from Cornwall
Very easy to use. Low maintenance. Easy to refill. Replacement pods good price. 👍
By Luke from Essex
This is the closest to an elf bar disposable that you're going to get great device for when you're out and battery lasts all night
By Jenn
I have bought two of these with absolutely no problems with either. The battery lasts a surprising amount of time. You can tell when it needs charging when the vape flavour isn't as strong. My other half and I find the flavours to be as good as the disposables, some even better. I just wish they did the watermelon pomegranate flavour in this. I guess that's the only downside, not as many flavour choices.
By Tash85 from London
First week or so I can’t fault it, but after this you have to replace the chamber that you fill with liquid as it gets burnt quickly. Have ordered 3 in the last 3 months wondering if it a dud one and 2 sets of replacement chambers and still I’m not satisfied.
By Harry from Yorkshire
This is great for those just getting into vaping or looking to quit smoking
By Els from Exeter
Saves so much money compared to disposables really good.
By Elf Bar Mate 500
Well built. Battery lasts about a day. Doesn't seem to accept all USB-C chargers. Works well even if the pods don't last very long.
By Horyonogaru
I'm using this device since about 2 weeks now and I'm very pleased. I decided to give it a try to see will it allow me to save money on disposables + eco factor, as waste from disposables is disturbing. It turned out to be pretty good. What I like about it is that the taste stays strong until the juice in the pod ran out. Pod lasts for as long as Elf Bar 600 disposable. The device itself is small, simple, aesthetic. What I don't like is that I've been struggling to take off the first empty pod - it didn't want to get off like it stuck permanently. It took 3 pod changes before I was able to replace them smoothly. Apart from that, battery run out pretty fast. If you're going to use 1 pod a day, you'll need to charge it twice. Charging is quite slow and device not informing you that battery is low, when it's informing battery is already down and you'll get empty puffs. Summing up I recommend this device and I'm enjoying using it, but if you're a heavy puffer than I suggest to better buy 2 to have 1 spare fully charged.

Good value considering how cheap it is but as the battery depletes (and it does quite quickly - after a day of moderate use) it loses power wuite quickly. Replaceable pods with the coils are great though, very handy to swap out new flavours
By Donna from UK
These are fantastic if you like the disposable elf bars and are looking for something that’s a bit more cost affective. I sent an email as I was unhappy with how quickly the disposable elf bars ran out and got a speedy response and some great information and advice. Can’t fault vape club at all! Absolutely fantastic customer service and they take the time to help you in any way they can with no trouble at all. I’m really enjoying the elfbar mate 500 as it’s easy to use, great value for money and has all the same great flavours of elf bar disposables. Plus you don’t have to mess around with coils etc as can just clip in a whole pre-filled pod and away you go! The device charges quite quickly and lasts so much longer than disposables too which is great and more convenient. These have also helped me give up smoking cigarettes (I used to smoke 30 a day approx :( )so I’m very grateful for the help along the way from Vape club. Thankyou so much!
By Jolene from Scarborough
Nice little device no leaks which is good fits in your pocket lovely well pleased 😁
By Pompeylad2010 from Portsmouth
Very pleased with this purchase
Its lightweight, simple to use and it comes with a option of using prefilled pods or u can buy the refillable pods and fill with a flavour of your choice !
By K-Light from Somerset UK
I was looking for small device as a car/work vape so I didn't have to use my big box mod. This little gem has been really great, quick to charge via USB, and lasts me pretty much all day. Nice and light in my pocket with no leaks so far. The refillable pods are great, nice and easy to fill with no mess. The Pods seem to be lasting well with well over 10ml used in each Pod.
By Hannah from Manchester
This device is so much more cost effective than buying disposables. My first one was great but got old so purchased a new one and for some reason pods were leaking/burning and not always pulling through but after contacting staff at VapeClub they sent me out a new device with some pods to cover what I wasted. Great service from this company!
By Awebb from London
I moved onto this after becoming frustrated with disposables. It's super easy to use, the pods click right in.
I haven't had to charge it yet and it's been 2 days. Flavour is not super strong but adequate with elf pods.
