Alright, let’s talk about this whole refillable Elf Bar thing. I’ve been seeing a lot of chatter about these lately, and honestly, I was curious. I mean, we all know those disposable vapes are super convenient, but let’s be real, they’re not exactly the most budget-friendly or environmentally-conscious option out there. So, I decided to dive in and see if I could figure out this refillable Elf Bar situation.
First off, I grabbed one of those Elf Bar 600 disposables. You know, the ones that are everywhere these days. I used it for a while, enjoyed the flavor, all that good stuff. But then it hit me – I’m throwing this whole thing away after just a few days? Seemed wasteful.
So, I started poking around online, trying to see if anyone had cracked the code on refilling these things. Turns out, the internet is a wild place, and there are tons of different opinions on whether you can even do it. Some folks are saying “no way, don’t even try,” while others are like, “yeah, it’s doable, but tricky.”
My Experiment Begins
Being the curious type, I decided to give it a shot. I carefully took apart the used Elf Bar. It wasn’t super easy, but with a little patience and a small screwdriver, I managed to get it open. Inside, it’s pretty basic – a battery, a little heating coil, and a small pod filled with e-liquid.
Now, here’s where things get a bit messy. Trying to refill that tiny pod was a challenge, to say the least. I tried using a syringe, but it was still pretty difficult to get the e-liquid in there without making a mess. I did spill quite a lot of liquid.
- First Attempt: Total fail. Leaked everywhere, and the flavor was off. I think I messed up the coil or something.
- Second Attempt: Slightly better. Less leakage, but still not a great vaping experience. It turns out you must clean the pod and every part of it very carefully.
- Third Attempt: Finally! Not perfect, but I managed to refill it without too much trouble. However, the flavor was muted. I used a brand new disposable Elf bar and a refilled one, and the taste was really off. I also tasted the burnt flavor a couple of times, which is not good at all.
My Conclusion
Is it worth it?
Honestly, after all that, I’m not sure it’s really worth the hassle. It’s messy, it’s time-consuming, and the results are inconsistent. Plus, I’m not entirely sure how safe it is to be messing around with the insides of these things. They’re designed to be disposable for a reason, you know?
If you are a big fan of the Elf Bar flavors, you may want to look for the original Elf Bar refillable pod kits. As I understand, those are designed for refilling and give you a similar experience as the disposable ones.
For me, I think I’ll stick to either regular refillable vapes or just use disposables sparingly. The whole refillable Elf Bar thing was an interesting experiment, but it’s not something I’d recommend doing on a regular basis. It’s just too much of a pain, and there are easier ways to vape. There are plenty of alternatives that are way easier to refill and maintain.
Stay safe and keep vaping smart!
