How Much Vape Liquid Is in an Elf Bar? A Complete Guide

If you’re using a prefilled Elf Bar in the UK, you’re probably wondering exactly how much vape liquid it contains and how long it will last. With recent UK vaping regulations including the 2025 single-use disposable vape ban knowing the capacity, puff count, and nicotine strength is more important than ever.

Here’s the short answer is: A UK-approved Elf Bar contains 2 ml of e-liquid, delivering roughly 550–600 puffs with a nicotine strength of 20 mg/ml.

In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know: legal limits, model comparisons, puff estimates, and tips to get the most out of your Elf Bar.

What Does “Prefilled” Mean?

A prefilled Elf Bar is ready to use: no refilling, no charging, no coil replacements needed. UK law requires that prefilled disposable vapes:

• Contain maximum 2 ml e-liquid

• Have a sealed design or rechargeable battery

• Use nicotine strength up to 20 mg/ml
  
  

This ensures safety, quality, and compliance with TPD rules.

How Much Vape Liquid Is in an Elf Bar?

The short answer: 2 ml of e-liquid in every UK-approved prefilled Elf Bar.
This capacity applies across most official UK models such as the Elf Bar 600, Elf Bar Cigalike, and Elf Bar AF5000 TPD edition. Each contains 2 ml of high quality nicotine salt e-liquid at a maximum strength of 20 mg/ml (2%). The 2 ml figure isn’t random; it’s a legal requirement ensuring consumer safety and quality control. Larger tanks may appear in international models, but those versions aren’t compliant for UK sale.

Common Elf Bar Models and Their E-Liquid Capacity

Note: As of 2025, single-use Elf Bars with capacities above 2 ml are no longer legal in the UK. Always check the latest model list from authorised UK retailers to ensure compliance.

Why the UK Limits Elf Bars to 2 ml

UK vaping regulations follow the Tobacco and Related Products Directive (TPD), capping prefilled e-liquid at 2 ml. The 2025 ban on single use disposables reinforces this, ensuring only safe, compliant devices remain available.

Puff Count vs Liquid Capacity

Puff count estimates vary:

• 2 ml of e-liquid ≈ 550–600 puffs

• 1 ml ≈ 250–300 puffs
  

Your actual number of puffs depends on:

• Puff duration (longer draws use more liquid)

• Frequency of vaping

• Nicotine strength (higher nicotine = fewer puffs needed)

Nicotine Strength & Its Impact

Most UK Elf Bars contain 20 mg/ml nicotine salts the legal maximum. Nicotine salts provide a smoother throat hit allowing fewer puffs for satisfaction. Lower strengths (10 mg/ml) are available for those reducing nicotine gradually.

Each 2 ml Elf Bar contains roughly 40 mg of nicotine in total, but your body only absorbs a fraction.

How Long Does a Prefilled Elf Bar Last?

On average:

• Light users (100–200 puffs/day): 2–3 days per Elf Bar

• Moderate users (300–400 puffs/day): 1–1.5 days

• Heavy users (500–600+ puffs/day): less than a day
  

Remember, puff duration and frequency vary by individual. High nicotine strength means you need fewer puffs for satisfaction, extending your Elf Bar’s lifespan naturally. Keep the bar stored upright and away from heat to avoid leakage or premature coil drying.

Factors That Influence Liquid Usage

Several elements affect how quickly you finish your Elf Bar:

1. Puff Duration: Longer draws vaporise more liquid.

2. Temperature: Warmer environments can thin e liquid, increasing consumption.

3. Coil Efficiency: A well-designed coil ensures consistent vapour without waste.

4. Airflow: Tighter airflow uses less liquid per puff, producing denser flavour.

5. Nicotine Strength: Higher strengths lead to fewer required puffs.
   

Controlling these factors helps maximise the performance of your 2 ml Elf Bar.

Coil Technology and Power Management

Modern Elf Bars use mesh coils, heating evenly and vaporizing liquid efficiently. This prevents burnt hits and ensures consistent flavour throughout the 2 ml capacity.

Comparing Prefilled Elf Bars vs Refillable Pod Kits

With the new regulations more vapers are switching to rechargeable or refillable pod kits, as single-use disposables are increasingly restricted or phased out. Prefilled Elf Bars remain convenient, but trends show users moving toward devices that allow longer term use within the legal limits.

Tips to Make Your Elf Bar Last Longer

• Take shorter, slower puffs instead of long draws.

• Avoid chain vaping; allow the coil to cool between puffs.

• Store upright and in a cool, dry place.

• Keep the mouthpiece clean and free of condensation.

• Switch to a higher nicotine strength if you’re vaping excessively it reduces overall consumption.
  

Simple habits like these extend lifespan and maintain flavour consistency until your Elf Bar runs dry.

What Happens When It’s an Elf Bar Empty

When your prefilled Elf Bar is empty, you’ll notice:

• Flavour drop-off or burnt taste.

• Reduced vapour production.

• Light indicator flashing (if model supports it).
  

Once these signs appear, stop using the device. Continuing to puff may overheat the coil or produce harsh vapour. Dispose of it responsibly in electronic waste bins never in general rubbish.
