How Long Does an Elf Bar Last?

The joy and excitement of having an Elf Bar is often clouded by worrying about when it will run out. Although these are amazing devices, they don't have a window to let you track the level of your vape liquid, and they are not refillable. Therefore, you need to know when your device is about to run out so you can order a replacement. Like everything good, they don't last forever, so knowing how long your Elf Bar will last is vital in ensuring you keep the experience running.

There are three scenarios where knowing how long your Elf Bar will last is crucial; first, when you're buying Elf Bars in bulk and are worried about shelf life. Two, when you're on your last Elf Bar and need to know how much time you need to get a replacement and three, when you discover an unfinished Elf Bar and don't want it to go to waste.

Scenario One

Storing Elf Bars properly is critical to their shelf life. The devices have a shelf life of up to two years if stored in a cool, dark, and dry place away from direct sunlight. However, all liquids have an expiry date, and if stored in unsuitable conditions for extended periods, the shelf life could be shorter.

When purchasing Elf Bars, be cautious not to purchase Elf Bars that have been on the shelves for an extended period. The manufacturing date of the Elf Bar is just as crucial as the expiry date in helping you get the latest and freshest Elf Bars. 

Scenario Two

Elf Bars are designed to last you as long as possible. But the exact duration depends on the type of Elf Bar You're using. There are also other variables to consider, like your vaping style, among others.

Type of Elf Bar

Elf Bar disposable vapes come in two main categories. There's the Elf Bar 600, which carries about 600 puffs. The device has a 2ml e-liquid capacity. For moderate vapers, the device will last you for a week if you use it once or twice a day. For ardent vapers, you might want to consider buying some extra cartridges to avoid running out before the weekend.

There is a more advanced Elf Bar, the Elf Bar 3500, which carries much more e-liquid. However, the device is not legally available in the UK because it doesn't meet the TPD regulations.

Elf Bars come with an automatic battery that automatically turns on every time you take a draw from the device and heat the device until it reaches 350 degrees Celsius. The battery will then automatically shut off after 10 seconds to avoid overheating and burning the coil inside the tank.

Length of draw

Your vaping habits and tendencies will also determine how long your Elf Bar lasts. Although every Elf Bar comes with an approximate number of puffs, the exact number of puffs you get from your device will vary depending on how you vape.

Vapers with long draws will get fewer puffs from the Elf Bar, while those with short draws will get more puffs. Besides the length of the draw, how frequently you vape will also impact the longevity of the vape. Intense vapers will go through their Elf Bars in a shorter time.

Scenario Three:

It’s always painful watching a good Elf Bar go to waste. Sad as it might be, there are chances that the Elf Bar wasn't stored properly, and even though the expiry date might say otherwise, the e-liquid might be ineffective or, worse yet, might have expired. You're better off tossing it away and buying a new one. Even if the e-liquid hasn't gone bad, the battery most likely has, especially if you suspect you drew a few puffs before putting the device away.

 How Many Days Should an Elf Bar Last?

On average, an Elf bar will last about 300 to 600 puffs. That means it can last up to 10 days before you need to dispose of and buy a new one. While this may be an average, other disposable vapes might last longer or shorter. To help you understand precisely how long an Elf bar can last, you should know the factors that affect how long a vape lasts:

• Temperature – the hotter the vaporiser, the more vapour it produces and the power it consumes. Using a high temperature for extended periods reduces the battery life of your disposable vape and also your e-liquid. Using lower temperatures for shorter periods gives you more time but reduces the quality of the experience.
• Power setting – Disposable vapes come with the power setting already calibrated in the device. The power setting affects how much vapour the device produces and how quickly it’s depleted. A lower setting produces less vapour than a higher setting and allows the e-liquid to last longer.
• Nicotine concentration – One of the reasons most vapers use disposable vapes is to keep up with their nicotine cravings. Picking a disposable vape with the right nicotine concentration gives you the best chances of satisfying your cravings in the fewest puffs. If the nicotine concentration is too low, you need more puffs to satisfy your cravings, which requires you to vape more, shortening your disposable's life.

The number of days your Elf Bar lasts depends on the type of cartridge you’re using and how often you use it. Because Elf Bars are pre-charged and pre-filled, you don’t have to worry about the settings or the type of battery. However, your vaping tendencies will have a significant impact on how long your Elf Bar lasts.
