Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with this rechargeable puff bar, specifically the Elf Bar AF5000. I’ve seen some chatter online, and frankly, I was curious. Could I really refill these things? I mean, they say “disposable,” but who’s to say, right?
Getting Started
First, I got my hands on one of these Elf Bars. They’re pretty sleek looking, I gotta admit. But I wasn’t about to just start yanking things apart. I did a quick search and found a video that seemed to know what’s up. It showed how to get the pod out and how to refill it. Perfect. This is my kind of project.
Taking it Apart
So, following the video, I grabbed the Elf Bar and located the pod. It’s the part that holds the juice, you know? With a little bit of wiggling and a gentle pull, the pod popped right out. It wasn’t glued down or anything crazy, which was a relief. I’m not trying to break this thing, just experiment a little. The video made it look easy, and honestly, it was.
Refilling the Pod
Now for the fun part – refilling. The pod has this little rubber stopper on the side. I pulled that out, which was a bit fiddly, but I managed. I had some leftover e-liquid from my old vape, so I grabbed that and carefully filled the pod. I made sure not to overfill it, though. Don’t want any leaks. Then, I pushed the rubber stopper back in place, making sure it was snug. It’s important to make sure that seal is tight, or you’ll have a mess on your hands.
Putting it Back Together
With the pod refilled, I slid it back into the main body of the Elf Bar. It clicked into place, which was satisfying. I gave it a once-over to make sure everything looked right, and it did. Honestly, if you didn’t know I’d just refilled it, you’d never guess. It looked just like it did when I first got it.
The Moment of Truth
Okay, time to see if this actually works. I took a puff, and… it worked! The flavor was a little different since I used a different e-liquid, but it was definitely vaping. No weird burnt taste, no leaking, just a smooth hit. I was pretty stoked, not gonna lie. I mean, who knew you could actually refill these “disposable” vapes?
Final Thoughts
So, there you have it. I successfully refilled an Elf Bar AF5000. It was way easier than I thought it would be. I’m not saying you should go out and refill all your disposable vapes, but it’s cool to know that it’s possible. Plus, it saves a bit of money and is probably a bit better for the environment than just tossing them out. I’m calling this a win. Might experiment with some other flavors next. Stay tuned!
- Grabbed an Elf Bar AF5000.
- Located and removed the pod.
- Refilled the pod with e-liquid.
- Reassembled the device.
- Tested it and it worked perfectly.
Definitely a successful little project. Who knows what I’ll tinker with next?
