The Elf Bar 600 pods and ELFA pods last as long as a disposable. But, they’re sold in packs of 2 for a similar price. This is great as it nearly halves your vaping costs. The battery of each kit will usually last for the full life of a pod and can easily be recharged with a USB-C cable.

However ELFLIQ e-liquid is also available in a have a 1.0% and 0.5% strength option. 10mg is perfect for smokers who use around 10-20 cigarettes a day. And 0.5mg, is perfect for users looking to give up nicotine completely.

Can I Recycle Elf Bar Products?
Unfortunately, no. Elf Bars can’t be recycled because of the lithium ion batteries. However, they can be disposed of responsibly in an environmentally friendly way. There are multiple battery recycling locations across the UK. Also, if you’re near a Totally Wicked store or our TECC shop in Accrington, then you can bring in any used devices for us to dispose of for you. Incorrect disposal is one of the main reasons why disposables are seen as problematic. If vapers get rid of their devices responsibly, this issue can be prevented.
The packaging of all Elf Bar products is absolutely recyclable. The box and information leaflet can be included in your cardboard and paper bin.
How To Fix A Faulty Elf Bar Product
Here’s a list of the most common Elf Bar faults/issues and how to remedy them.
My Device Spits Liquid Into My Mouth – This basically means that your coil is oversaturated, or flooded as we call it. This is a simple fix, just give your kit a few sharp downward flicks. This expels all the extra liquid out of the mouthpiece.
My Device Tastes Burnt – Unfortunately, this means that your device has run out of liquid. It’s time to buy a new device or pod, and responsibly dispose of your old one.
The Light On My Device Is Flashing – This means that your device has run out of battery. For single use devices this means that you’ll need a new one. If you’re using the ELFA, Mate 500 or 4 in 1 then simply pop it on charge.
My Device Doesn’t Work Out Of The Box – A rare occurrence, but it can happen. This means that you’ve unfortunately stumbled across a faulty device and will need a new one.
