Elf Bar ELFX Pod Vape Kit
The Elf Bar ELFX Pod Vape Kit is Elf Bar's refillable answer to the disposable vape: a compact device that keeps the simplicity vapers know, but swaps the "throw it away" battery for a rechargeable one. At Vape Wave, it's stocked in six colours and paired with two ELFX pods so it's ready to fill and use the moment it arrives. If you've been vaping disposables and want lower running costs without extra complexity, this is one of the more straightforward routes into refillable vaping.
Elf Bar ELFX Pod Vape Kit Key Feature
The ELFX keeps its feature list tight and genuinely useful rather than padded out. You get a 1000mAh built-in battery, a 30W maximum output, inhale activation with no fire button, adjustable airflow, and Smart Mode, which senses which pod resistance is installed and sets the wattage automatically. Two ELFX pods are included in the box: a 0.6Ω pod for a looser RDTL draw and a 0.8Ω pod for a tighter, cigarette-like MTL pull.
Design
The ELFX has a slim, pocket-friendly body with a soft-touch finish, a magnetic pod connection, and a discreet LED battery indicator built into the base. At roughly 115mm tall and 15mm thick, it sits comfortably in a hand or pocket without adding bulk, and the six available colourways (Black, Blue, Grey, Pink, Purple, Silver) mean it doesn't feel like a purely functional device.
Battery
A 1000mAh integrated battery sits at the centre of the ELFX, giving it roughly double the capacity of the battery inside a typical single-use Elf Bar disposable. Most vapers get a full day of typical use from one charge, and the device recharges via USB-C in around an hour, so there's no separate charger to keep track of.
Pod System
Each ELFX pod holds 2ml of e-liquid and uses a top-fill design: lift the small rubber plug on top of the pod, fill, then push it back into place. There's no need to remove the pod from the device to refill it, which keeps the whole process quick and largely mess-free.
Coil Technology
Both included pods use Elf Bar's QUAQ dual mesh coil, which has a larger heating surface than a standard single mesh coil. In practical terms that means more even e-liquid absorption, less risk of dry or burnt hits, and a coil that tends to outlast a standard mesh coil in the same pod format. Once a coil is spent, the whole pod is replaced rather than the coil alone.
Puff Count
Because the ELFX is refillable rather than prefilled, Elf Bar doesn't publish a fixed puff count for it the way they do for a disposable or a sealed prefilled pod. How long a pod lasts between refills depends on the e-liquid used, the coil resistance chosen, and individual vaping habits, though most users find a single 2ml fill lasts a comparable amount of use to several disposables' worth of vapour.
Nicotine Strength
The ELFX kit itself is nicotine-free until you add e-liquid, so you can choose whatever strength suits your current vaping habits. Most vapers pair it with 10mg or 20mg nicotine salt e-liquid, and it's worth reviewing UK nicotine strength limits before buying if you're new to refillable devices.
Flavours
As a refillable device, the ELFX doesn't come with fixed flavour variants; instead it works with the e-liquid you choose to fill it with. Elf Bar's own Elfliq nic salt range is designed to closely match the flavour profiles of the original Elf Bar disposables and is a sensible starting point, though the kit works with any 50/50 nic salt e-liquid within its supported resistance range.
Performance
With Smart Mode handling the wattage automatically, the ELFX takes the guesswork out of getting a consistent draw. The 0.8Ω pod gives a tighter, more restricted pull that suits vapers coming from cigarettes or MTL disposables, while the 0.6Ω pod opens things up for a slightly airier RDTL style. The adjustable airflow slider lets you fine-tune either pod further to taste.
Who It's For
The ELFX suits vapers switching from disposables who want to cut down on waste and running costs without learning a complicated setup. It also works well as a simple everyday device for anyone who wants MTL or light RDTL vaping without the settings menus found on more advanced mods.

Safety Information
This product contains no nicotine until e-liquid is added and is intended for adults aged 18 and over only. Always use the supplied USB-C cable to charge the device, avoid leaving it on charge unattended overnight, and keep both the device and any e-liquid well out of reach of children and pets. If you notice any damage to the battery, pod, or charging port, stop use and contact Vape Wave's customer support rather than continuing to use the device.
Things To Consider Before Buying
Because the ELFX is refillable, it does involve slightly more hands-on setup than a prefilled pod kit or disposable, so it suits vapers who don't mind topping up their own e-liquid. It's also worth checking that you're comfortable using 50/50 nic salt e-liquid, since higher-VG shortfills aren't recommended for this coil type. If you'd prefer a fully sealed, no-refill option, Vape Wave's Prefilled Pods & Pod Kits collection has plenty of prefilled alternatives.
Elf Bar ELFX Pod Vape Kit of the Maintenance Tips
Wipe the magnetic contacts on both the device and pod with a dry cloth occasionally to keep the connection reliable. Prime a new pod by letting it sit for a few minutes after filling before the first puff, and swap the pod as soon as flavour starts to fade or a burnt taste appears rather than continuing to use a dry coil. Avoid regularly running the battery down to empty, as this can shorten its lifespan over time.
Storage Tips
Store the ELFX and any spare pods at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, radiators, or damp environments such as bathrooms. If you won't be using the device for an extended period, it's best stored with a partial charge rather than fully drained or fully topped up.
Returns and Refunds Policy
Vape Wave accepts returns on most unopened, unused items within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. Full terms, including how to start a return and expected refund timeframes, are available on the Vape Wave Return & Refund Policy page.
Conclusion
The Elf Bar ELFX Pod Vape Kit is a straightforward, well-built entry point into refillable vaping, built around a genuinely useful QUAQ dual mesh coil system and a battery that comfortably outlasts a disposable. For anyone tired of buying and binning a new device every few days, it's a practical, lower-waste alternative that doesn't ask much in return for the switch.

FAQs
Is the Elf Bar ELFX a prefilled or refillable pod kit?
The ELFX is a refillable pod kit. It comes with two empty ELFX pods that you fill yourself with e-liquid, rather than sealed pods that arrive already filled. This is different from prefilled options like the Elf Bar 600 pods, which come ready-filled from the factory.
How long does the Elf Bar ELFX battery last?
The 1000mAh built-in battery typically lasts a full day for most vapers, depending on how often the device is used. A full recharge via USB-C takes around an hour, so it's usually possible to top up overnight or during a break in the day.
What's the difference between the 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω ELFX pods?
The 0.8Ω pod gives a tighter, more restricted draw similar to a cigarette or MTL disposable, while the 0.6Ω pod offers a slightly looser, airier pull suited to RDTL vaping. Both use the same QUAQ dual mesh coil, so the choice comes down to preferred draw style rather than flavour or performance differences.
What e-liquid should I use in the Elf Bar ELFX?
The ELFX works best with 50/50 nicotine salt e-liquid, such as Elf Bar's own Elfliq range, which is designed to closely match the flavour of the original Elf Bar disposables. High-VG shortfill e-liquids aren't recommended, as the thicker consistency can lead to poor wicking in this coil type.
How do I refill an Elf Bar ELFX pod?
Lift the small rubber plug on top of the pod to reveal the fill port, add e-liquid up to the fill line, then replace the plug. There's no need to remove the pod from the device first, which keeps the process quick and mostly mess-free.
How many puffs does an Elf Bar ELFX pod give?
There's no fixed puff count published for the ELFX, since it's a refillable rather than a prefilled system. How long a fill lasts depends on the e-liquid, coil resistance, and how the device is used, though a single 2ml fill typically lasts as long as several disposables.
Can beginners use the Elf Bar ELFX?
Yes. Smart Mode automatically sets the correct wattage for whichever pod is installed, and the device is inhale-activated with no buttons or settings to configure, which makes it approachable for anyone moving on from disposables.
How do I know when to replace an Elf Bar ELFX pod?
Replace the pod once you notice a burnt taste, a noticeable drop in flavour, or when the coil no longer produces vapour properly. Continuing to use a dry or worn coil can affect the taste of future fills.
Is the Elf Bar ELFX cheaper to run than a disposable vape?
Over time, yes. While the upfront cost of the device is higher than a single disposable, you're only replacing pods and refilling with bottled e-liquid afterwards, which typically works out cheaper per ml than buying a new disposable every few days.
What colours does the Elf Bar ELFX come in?
At Vape Wave, the Elf Bar ELFX is available in Black, Blue, Grey, Pink, Purple, and Silver.
Can I use other Elf Bar ELFX pods with this device?
Yes, the ELFX device is compatible with a wider range of Elf Bar ELFX replacement pods, so you can choose a different resistance from the two included in the box if you prefer a different draw style.
Is the Elf Bar ELFX TPD compliant for UK sale?
Yes, the Elf Bar ELFX Pod Vape Kit sold at Vape Wave is TPD compliant and suitable for legal sale in the UK, in line with current UK vaping regulations.
