As we slowly creep closer towards the June 1st disposable vape ban, some of you OG Elf Bar lovers might be in a bit of a panic wondering what you’re going to be using after this date. Luckily for you, Elf Bar have gone above and beyond with their new product releases, and have even released a like-for-like duplicate of their classic Elf Bar 600 puffs but with removeable pods, so you’ll still be able to enjoy the same vaping style while also being able to save a little bit of money! We explore all of the options for Elf Bar disposable vape alternatives below to help ease your mind, and show you that there are plenty of products that will suit your needs available after the disposable vape ban. If you want to read up on the ban and what this means, then we have a blog available here with a few common questions and answers about the disposable ban. Anyway, let’s get to it.
Elf Bar have released pretty much an exact dupe of their famous Elf Bar 20mg disposable vape, but in a pod kit style. The kit is still the same price as the original Elf Bar and looks exactly the same with the same 600 puffs capacity, and we still have a 5 for £20 offer on this so you can continue using these vapes as normal. They have also made prefilled replacement pods for the new Elf Bar 600 kit so that you can also save money. The flavour range of the prefilled pods is still small, but Elf Bar will be gradually releasing new flavours after the ban is in place.
The major benefit of the new Elf Bar pod kit is that it’s fully rechargeable, meaning you can get the last few drops of liquid that would otherwise be left when using the non rechargeable disposable version. It can also be recharged hundreds of times before the battery degrades!
You can find the new Elf Bar 600 pod kit here, and the replacement pods here.
Sticking with the same prefilled pod kit theme for those of you that aren’t interested in refilling your kit yourself, the Elf Bar Dual 10k pod kit is the next best option. This kit comes with 2 prefilled pods, each with a different flavour in allowing you to effortlessly switch between the two wherever you are. It’s also much more cost effective than using the Elf Bar 600 pod kit above, with 3x the amount of liquid in! Elf Bar have also recently released prefilled replacement pods for the Dual, also coming in dual flavours.
The Dual is completely rechargeable and comes with an LED display screen on the front which indicates how much liquid is left in each pod, and the battery percentage. Is the perfect kit for those of you that are always worried about running out of juice or battery on the go!
You can buy the Elf Bar Dual 10k kit here, and the replacement pods here.
If you’ve come to realise that Elf Bar have not yet released your favourite flavours in their prefilled pod kit ranges, then you might be better off changing to a refillable pod kit to use alongside their Elfliq nic salts, as these have quite an extensive flavour range. Elf Bar will be expanding on their prefilled kit flavour options eventually, but we don’t have a fixed date for any new releases yet. Elf Bar have released 2 refillable pod kits, the Elfx and the Elfx Pro, both of which are really great and easy to use kits and will provide the same flavour as in the 20mg Elf Bars when used with their Elfliq nic salts (the exact liquid used in the Elf Bar disposables).
If you’re looking for a quick and straight forward transition then we do have a bundle deal available for only £22.99 with 1 Elfx pod kit, 1 pack of replacement pods and 1 Elfliq nic salt. It’s also cheaper to purchase this bundle rather than buying everything separately. You can find this bundle here. You’ll also save money in the long run when you switch from the Elf Bar 600 kit to the Elfx refillable kit, and it’s not as faffy or complicated to use as you might think. Once you have a refillable kit you’ll also have free reign on the liquids that you use with this, so if you’re looking to lower your nicotine intake you’ll be able to do so easily. Elf Bar have their Elfliq nic salts available in 20mg, 10mg, and 5mg currently.

Elf Snus By Elf Bar
If you’ve come to the realisation that you don’t really want to vape anymore after the ban due to some of your favourite vapes becoming unavailable, then snus may be a great option for you. Nicotine pouches allow you to maintain your nicotine intake wherever you are; they don’t produce any smoke or vapour like vape kits so they’re extremely handy, especially for travelling or when on planes!
The Elf Snus is available in 3 different strengths, 6mg which is perfect for beginner snus users, 12mg for those of you that need a little more, and 20mg for those of you that can’t get enough. Please note that if you are using 20mg vapes, it will still be best to start on the 6mg pouches, as proportionately a 6mg snus pouch taken in one go is much stronger than a few puffs on a disposable vape!
To use a nicotine pouch, you just need to place the pouch in-between your bottom lip and gum, and remove this after half an hour once the nicotine has been absorbed.
There you have it, all of the best options available on the market for Elf Bar products that will still be available after the ban.
