What's the Difference Between Elf Bar Vapes? A Vapestore Buyer's Guide

May 16, 2025

Elf Bar revolutionised the UK vaping landscape when they burst onto the scene with their iconic Elf Bar 600 disposable e-cigarette. Now, their expanded range of prefilled pod kits offers something for every vaper. From the flavour-switching Dual 10K to the reimagined 600 Pod Kit, we'll guide you through Elf Bar's innovative collection to help you find your perfect vaping companion. 

Remember when Elf Bar first appeared in vape shops all across the UK? Almost overnight, those colourful, compact Elf Bar 600 disposables quickly became the go-to device for vapers looking for convenience on the go. Fast forward to today, and the brand that practically defined modern disposable vaping has evolved far beyond that initial product. 

With the UK implementing a ban on the sale of single-use vapes from June 2025, Elf Bar has been busy developing forward-thinking alternatives that preserve everything vapers love about their original products while adding significant improvements. Their expanded lineup of prefilled pod systems delivers the same satisfying experience and intense, authentic flavours but with greater sustainability, improved battery life, and better long-term value. 

In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the differences between Elf Bar's newest generation of Elf Bar Vape Kits, from the feature-packed Dual 10K to the time-tested Elfa Pro. By comparing their unique features, specifications, and use cases, we'll help you navigate this diverse range to find the perfect device for your vaping style and preferences.

Key Takeaways 

  • Elf Bar has evolved beyond single-use disposables to offer a range of innovative prefilled pod systems  
  • Each Elf Bar vape kit offers different benefits: puff count, battery capacity, features, and aesthetics  
  • All Elf Bar kits maintain the brand's signature reliable performance and rich, authentic flavours  
  • Switching to prefilled pod systems offers better value and a reduced environmental impact  
  • Elf Bar consistently uses 20mg nicotine salt e-liquid across their pod systems for a satisfying experience

How Elf Bar Evolved Beyond Disposables

Founded in 2018, Elf Bar quickly established itself as a trailblazer in the vaping industry with the introduction of the iconic Elf Bar 600 disposable. This pioneering device struck the perfect balance of simplicity, portability, and flavour intensity, winning over vapers with its zero-fuss approach and consistent, reliable performance.

What began as a focus on perfecting the single-use vaping experience has grown into a diverse range of vaping products. As market demands shifted and regulations evolved, Elf Bar has adapted by creating innovative alternatives to their original disposables.

The shift to prefilled pod systems brings substantial benefits for vapers. Economically, despite a slightly higher initial investment, the cost per puff works out considerably lower. Environmentally, these rechargeable devices generate significantly less waste, as users replace only the pod rather than the entire device – specifically the battery component which contains rare metals such as lithium that can negatively impact the environment if not disposed of properly.

Most importantly, these new systems maintain the core qualities that made Elf Bar so popular in the first place: bold, authentic flavours, reliable performance, and colourful, user-friendly designs. Let's explore the different options now available to Vapestore customers.

How do Elf Bar prefilled pod systems compare to disposables?

Elf Bar prefilled pod systems offer the same satisfying experience and rich, authentic flavours as their disposable counterparts, but with the added benefits of rechargeability and replaceable pods.
