  • Does Elfbar really have 1500 trains?

    The Elfbar 1500 is sufficient for up to 1500 puffs according to the manufacturer. But is this really true? Yes and no. The number of puffs or puffs you can make with an Elf Bar 1500 depends heavily on your personal vapor behavior. If you only draw very weakly on the vape pen, you may be able to achieve the 1500 puffs stated. However, most vapers draw quite strongly on the e-cigarette, which of course means that more liquid is vaporized per puff. With this vapor behavior, ultimately far fewer puffs per eleven bar e-cigarette are possible, as stated by the manufacturer. Ultimately, it is the same as with tobacco cigarettes: the more you draw on the disposable vape, the stronger the puff and the fewer puffs are possible until the e-cigarette's liquid is vaporized.

  • Is Elfbar better than cigarettes?

    Yes, in terms of taste, you can say that Elf Bar tastes better than a cigarette. Of course, this is ultimately a matter of taste, but who likes the stinky tobacco smoke if they are honest? Elf Bar offers a variety of flavors and aromas, which often taste like sweet fruits or desserts. So you also have the possibility to vary the taste according to your personal needs and provide the necessary variety.

  • Is Elfbar harmful?

    ElfbarHow harmful are they? This is a difficult question to answer, as the consequences of e-cigarette use have not yet been conclusively researched. However, two facts are obvious: it is always healthier not to inhale any foreign substances into your lungs. In other words, not vaping is healthier for your body than consuming Elf Bar vapes. Compared to tobacco cigarettes, however, the consumption of Elf Bar vapes is probably healthier, as there are no tar substances in the vapor that can clog your lungs. Incidentally, most Elf Bar vapes contain a similar amount of nicotine as cigarettes, so Elf Bar vapes offer no advantage in terms of addiction, unless you opt for Elf Bar vapes without nicotine, which are also available in many stores.

    Are Elfbar carcinogenic? Aerosols are produced when the flavored liquid of e-cigarettes is vaporized. These also contain carcinogenic substances. However, these are present in such much smaller quantities than in tobacco cigarettes that the degree of carcinogenic effect has not been conclusively clarified.

  • How many days does Elf Bar last?

    How many days an Elf Bar lasts depends on two factors. First, it depends on which model you buy. The smallest model is the Elf Bar 600which is designed for a maximum of 600 puffs. There are also the Elf Bar 800, the Elf Bar 1500 and the Elf Bar 2500, and soon the Elf Bar 5000 will be available in Switzerland, which is designed to provide up to 5000 puffs of vapor pleasure. The second determining factor when it comes to how many days an Elf Bar will last is your personal vapor behavior. If you suck hard on the vape, the liquid will be used up faster than if you pull very lightly on the mouthpiece. If you vaporize every free minute, your Elf Bar vape will logically run out faster than if you vaporize only a few minutes per day.

    For comparison, a cigarette provides about 10 puffs. The smallest Elf Bar up to 600 puffs. So even with the smallest model, you're holding the equivalent of three packs of tobacco cigarettes in your hand.

  • How to smoke Elf Bar?

    Smoking Elf Bar is just as easy or difficult as smoking a cigarette. Whereas with vapes you don't speak of "smoking" but of "vaporizing", since no combustion process takes place. However, the handling of Elf Bar Vapes could not be easier. You just have to unpack the device and you can simply pull the mouthpiece. You don't even have to press a burn button thanks to the automatic draw, and the vape doesn't need to be turned on either. Eleven Bar vapes are designed for mouth to lung (MTL) vaping. That is, you pull on the mouthpiece like a cigarette and not like a shisha.

  • How to recognize Fake Elf Bar?

    Fake Elf Bars can often only be visually distinguished from the original Elf Bars by experts. However, there is also a very simple way for laymen to check the authenticity of Elf Bar vapes. On every Elf Bar package there is a QR code. You can simply take a picture of it with your phone's camera and you will be prompted to open the corresponding link. Now you just have to make sure that the link really leads to the official Elf Bar website www.elfbar.com. Fake products will direct you to fake sites like elfba.com or elfbar-vapes.com, so you have to look carefully here! If the link takes you to the official Elf Bar website and your vape is labeled as "real", then you have bought a real Elf Bar.

  • How many cigarettes are 600 puffs?

    One cigarette corresponds to about 10 puffs. According to this, one Elf Bar 600 corresponds to about 60 cigarettes, which is equivalent to 3 packs of 20 cigarettes.

  • How do I know that my Elf Bar is empty?

    This is how you can tell that your Elf Bar Vape is empty: there may be a slightly burnt taste, which is an indication that the liquid has run out. Also, the LED of your Elf Bar will glow blue or white several times to indicate that the disposable e-cigarette is empty. In this case, you should dispose of the vape in the e-waste and replace it with a new one.

  • What to do if an Elf Bar does not work?

    With Elfbar vapes, it can always happen that they do not work as desired due to a defect. In this case, we recommend that you contact your seller and ask for a replacement device. Please note, however, that Elfbar disposable e-cigarettes often offer fewer puffs than specified by the manufacturer. In this case, you are not entitled to a new device.

  • Is Elfbar legal?

    No, the Elf Bar 1500 is banned in Germany because it contains more than 2 ml of liquid. The limit of 2 ml of liquid for disposable vapes applies throughout the EU. With the introduction of the new Tobacco Products Act for e-cigarettes the 2ml liquid limit will also be introduced in Switzerland.

  • Why are vapes from 18 years?

    In Switzerland, vaping, i.e. vaporizing e-cigarettes, will only become legal with the introduction of the new Tobacco Products Act there will be a clear age regulation. Most Swiss online stores already adhere to the directive that vapes should only be sold to people over the age of 18.

  • How much nicotine does Elf Bar contain?

    Elf Bar products are mainly available in Switzerland with 20mg/ml nicotine salt. A few models and products are also available with 10mg/ml or in the nicotine-free version with 0mg/ml nic otine salt. It should be noted that a nicotine content of 20mg (2%) is too high for non-smokers and occasional vapers. In this case, we recommend that you opt for Elf Bar Vapes without nicotine or products with 10mg nicotine to opt for. Incidentally, there are also Elf Bar vapes that contain 50mg nicotine per milliliter of liquid. However, this dosage is extremely strong and is therefore practically not available in Switzerland, as the demand for such a high nicotine content is simply too low. Throughout the EU, only products with a maximum of 20mg nicotine are permitted anyway. Everything else is illegal.

  • Is 20mg nicotine a lot?

    Yes, 20mg of nicotine per milliliter of liquid is a lot and corresponds to the nicotine content preferred by heavy tobacco cigarette smokers. For vapers who don't want to consume nicotine, the nicotine-free Elf Bar vapes offer a perfect alternative. If you are looking for products with less nicotine, it is worth taking a look at the range of other manufacturers. They also offer products with 10mg nicotine. Buying a reusable vape, where you can determine the nicotine content of the liquid yourself, is also a good idea if you want to enjoy vaping, but with less nicotine than 20mg.

  • How many calories does a Elfbar contain?

    Even though Elf Bar vapes taste very sweet, they contain practically no calories. Besides, it would be new to us that the human body can absorb calories through vaporizing e-liquids. So you don't have to worry about a negative impact on your figure.

  • Do Elfbar vapes contain sugar?

    Elfbar E-cigarettes usually taste very sweet. However, the sweeteners used are not sugar but sucralose and stevia. You should check with your doctor whether the use of vapes is associated with risks for diabetics.

  • Is it possible to fill up Elf Bar?

    No, Elf Bar vapes are disposable products that have to be disposed of as electronic waste after the liquid has been used up. However, there are also reusable Elf Bar brand products that can be refilled. The best-known product is the Elf Bar Elfa, where the liquid cartridges can be replaced individually. This means you can recharge the battery carrier as often as you like with a USB-C cable and simply insert a new liquid cartridge as soon as the liquid runs out. This is significantly more ecological than the familiar disposable vapes from Elf Bar. In terms of taste, the Elfbar Elfa or Elfbar Lowit system is in no way inferior to the disposable vapes. The vaping experience is practically identical. If you are looking for a pod system that allows you to refill the liquid yourself, we can recommend the product Elfbar mate product.
