How Long Do Elf Bars Last? (Puffs Counts for Every Elf Bar)
Note
Elf Bar is changing the brand name on its products sold in the United States to EBDESIGN after a federal judge ordered the company to stop using the ELFBAR name until a trademark dispute is decided.
EBDESIGN-branded products will arrive in the U.S. soon after March 10. Product model numbers will remain the same, as will the appearance of the devices. Model numbers will be more prominent on the devices and packaging, and the brand name will be smaller.
Beware of ELFBAR-branded products still being sold in stores. They could be fake (or counterfeit) Elf Bars.
How long does an Elf Bar last?
Elf Bar vapes come in various sizes, and they have 27 different model types (and counting). Therefore, determining how long each lasts depends on the puff count of your specific Elf Bar and how often you vape. Keep reading below to check out our graphic with every Elf Bar vape device, their puff counts, and estimates on how long each will last based on your usage.

What is a puff count?
However, it is important to note that puff counts are very loose figures, and how they are measured or estimated will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Puff counts, in our experience, tend to be slightly exaggerated—either due to manufacturers inflating the figures for marketability, or just due to assuming most vapers take very light draws. Therefore, if you take long hits from your Elf Bar vape pen, you can expect the number of puffs you will get to be less than the number advertised by the manufacturer.
All Elf Bar puff counts & how long each will last
We created the table below, which shows every available Elfbar vape model (at the time of writing), their puff counts, and the expected number of days of usage depending on different vaping styles.
It is important to note that the information below is based on our team’s vaping experience and estimates for average puff counts for different vaping styles. We used the highest nicotine strength available as a baseline, so if your vape comes with a lower nicotine strength, you should expect fewer days of vaping since you’ll probably be hitting your vape more often.
Also note that the table doesn't account for potentially inflated puff count numbers, so if you want to be safe, we recommend deducting a day from the low-puff models, and at least a couple of days from the larger models.
How did we define a casual and heavy vaper?
The reality of how many hits people take will vary from person to person. For instance, if you only vape once a day or during smoke breaks at work, you can expect your Elf Bars to last much longer than the estimates above.
Do Elf Bars and other disposable vapes expire?
Technically e-juice can go bad. But it’s not the same as food going bad. Vape juice (including nicotine salt) is very shelf-stable. It might even change color and turn brown with time, but this doesn’t mean that it has expired. Generally speaking, e-juice lasts as long as its first ingredient to “expire.” As a rule of thumb, that will be up to two years from its date of manufacture.
If your device tastes bad or isn’t working, it’s best to throw it away and get yourself a new one.
How to tell if your Elf Bar has run out of battery or is empty?
The charge time varies per Elf Bar model. The general rule of thumb is 30-90 minutes, depending on the Elf Bar’s mAh rating and how depleted it is. The lowest mAh needs the shortest charge time, and the highest mAh needs the longest. The average time for charging 650 mAh is approximately an hour.
How to recharge your Elf bar
With all Elf Bar rechargeable disposables, there’ll be a visible USB-C port, most often on the bottom of the device—not to be confused with an airflow hole.
The Elf Bar disposables don’t come with a charging cable, though. By now, most people have USB-C charge cables around. If not, you can pick one up from any store that sells electronics, even gas stations and drug stores.
As stated, charge the Elf Bar as you would any other small electronic device. All vapes, Elf Bars notwithstanding, are powered by lithium-ion batteries. Practice the same care as you usually do when handling small electronic devices with batteries and their respective power sources.
