It’s finally here, the Elf Bar 600 V2 has landed. If you aren’t keeping up with what’s happening at Elf Bar, let us fill you in. Elf Bar have decided to release a new and improved version of the first original Elf Bar 600 puffs. They have pioneered some coil technology which we’ll dig into, but it supposedly gives a more consistent and full flavour whilst utilising every bit of e-liquid. These are some bold claims, so we tested them to see how good they really are.
Key Features of the Elf Bar 600 V2
The Elf Bar V2 stands at10.5cm tall and 1.5cm wide, which is almost exactly the same size and shape as the original Elf Bar. It is a completely disposable device which means there is no need to refill or recharge the kit, simply vape and go. Powered by a 360mAh built in battery, the V2 offers up to 600 puffs (approx) which is the same as the original Elf Bar. Each device is pre-filled with 2ml of e-liquid in a 20mg nicotine strength. The major difference of course is the all new QUAQ coil technology, but more on this later.

Flavour Test
Now Elf Bar have promised more consistent flavour, right through to the end of the device with the V2. They have also promised an increase in e-liquid utilisation so none is wasted and a 45% flavour reproduction. Whilst this is all great to claim, is it true and what is the flavour actually like?
Well, we tested most of the new flavours and we can confirm that Elf Bar aren’t lying, the flavour is unrivalled and incredibly consistent throughout the lifespan of the device. In our opinion, the flavour is much better than the original Elf Bar and definitely more consistent. This is no doubt thanks to the new QUAQ technology introduced by Elf Bar.
What is QUAQ technology?
QUAQ coils are a new technology at the cutting edge of vaping right now. They operate differently to traditional mesh coils, by weaving a thinner mesh that concentrates the heat produced, in order to produce a better and more consistent flavour. The thin mesh lining also means more liquid is absorbed and used by the coil, leaving almost none behind. Mesh coils due to their multi layered weaving mean more surface area is covered, allowing the wick to spend more time in contact with the metal itself, this is how more liquid is consumed.
This technology in a regular vape kit would mean more e-liquid is used which would in turn mean you’re spending more money on liquids and refilling your device. Instead, Elf Bar have put this into a disposable kit where using all e-liquid is actually a huge benefit.
Build Quality, Design and Battery Life
Build Quality
The Elf Bar V2 is well built, as well as any disposable can be. The actual shell is pretty much the same as an Elf Bar only with a metal body rather than the softer body of the original Elf Bar. I wouldn’t throw it off a bridge and expect it to be okay, but the V2 would certainly survive the regular drops of everyday life.
Design
The design is a slick metallic finish with blended colours on the kit. The Elf Bar logo sits front and centre as with the original Elf Bar. The duck shaped and notoriously comfortable mouthpiece remains unchanged – if it’s not broken, don’t fix it! The V2 is the same height, shape and weight as the regular Elf Bar and from a distance you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.
Battery Life
The battery life is good, but we aren’t sure we agree with Elf Bar that this device is longer lasting. The Elf Bar V2 probably lasts for less time than the regular Elf Bar’s, but most certainly better flavour. If you’ve ever used a SKE Crystal Bar, they last around about the same time as this.
Pro’s and Con’s of the Elf Bar 600 V2
Pro’s:
Unrivalled flavour
Consistency throughout lifespan of the kit
Flavour choice
QUAQ technology
Con’s:
Battery Life
Summary…
Overall, the Elf Bar 600 V2 is a fantastic disposable, with smooth and consistent flavour right until the kit inevitably dies. It is definitely an improvement on the original Elf Bar for flavour and airflow, but it does slightly lag behind in longevity. This creates a trade off, flavour or a few more puffs? That choice can only be made by vapers, but this device remains an exceptional tool for smokers to quit for good.
