The world of vaping is changing rapidly. Anyone who has so far relied on practical Hybrid systems such as the Elfbar AF5000 or the Lost Mary BM6000 Anyone who has used it will appreciate the combination of ease of use and a large number of puffs. But development never stands still. With the Elfbar NX7000 and the Lost Mary LUX7000 We are now seeing the direct successors to these models, which hold great promise: greater performance, more puffs and, above all, greater sustainability thanks to a fully-fledged reusable system.
In this article, you’ll find out all about the technical innovations, how it differs from previous models, and why switching to the 7000 series is not only easier on your wallet but also on the environment.
What exactly is a Hybrid-Vape?
Before we take a closer look at the new models, here’s a brief overview of the concept. The Hybrid-Vape bridges the gap between traditional disposable e-cigarettes and open Pod systems.
- Advantage: You have a compact device that comes with a large quantity of Liquid (usually a 2 ml tank plus a 10 ml refill container).
- The highlight: Whilst the first generation (AF5000/BM6000) had to be disposed of after 1–2 refills, the new models feature a modular system that can be reused in the long term.
Elfbar NX7000: The worthy successor to the AF5000
The Elfbar AF5000 was a milestone for everyone who felt that 600 puffs weren’t enough. The new Elfbar NX7000 However, it goes a decisive step further.
The key new features of the NX7000
Compared with the AF5000, the NX7000 is no longer purely a «high-capacity single-use product». The NX7000 Vape Kit is designed as a genuine reusable system.
- Full-size Refill Pods: At the heart of the system are the new, two-piece Pods models. These consist of a mouthpiece with an integrated Mesh coil (0.8 ohms) and a separate 10 ml Liquid container.
- Sustainable battery component: You get to keep the casing with the 1000 mAh battery. You simply replace the used Pod. This significantly reduces battery waste.
- More brothels: Thanks to optimised Quaq technology and, thanks to improved airflow, the manufacturer now promises up to 7,000 puffs per Pod unit.
- Design & Handling: The NX7000 boasts an elegant metallic finish and features an LED battery level indicator – a feature sorely lacking in many of the basic Vapes models.
Lost Mary LUX7000: The upgrade to the BM6000
Lost Mary has, with the BM6000 have already demonstrated that they are masters at producing compact devices with intense flavours. The Lost Mary LUX 7000 (or simply referred to as LUX 7000) continues this tradition, but massively improves its durability.
Why the LUX7000 which outshines the BM6000
The BM6000 model was fantastic, but it had one flaw: the system was designed in such a way that the refill container could only be used a limited number of times before the whole unit had to be disposed of.
- The true reusable principle: With the LUX7000, you can use the battery pack for months on end. Only the LUX7000 Refill Pods including the integrated coils, are replaced.
- Power: Here, too, a 1000 mAh battery provides enough power to easily last the whole day. It charges conveniently via USB-C.
- Flavour: Thanks to the integrated mesh coils in the Pods replacement pods, the flavour remains consistently intense from the very first to the 7,000th second (or the 7,000th puff).
Sustainability and costs: a comparison
Why should one switch from the old models, or even from disposable Vapes batteries? The answer lies in the combination of environmental responsibility and economic benefits.
| Feature | Conventional disposable Vape | Hybrid (1st generation – AF5000) | Hybrid (2nd generation – NX7000 / LUX7000) |
| Waste | High (battery + plastic) | Equipment (the battery compartment is often disposable) | Minor (only Pod change) |
| Battery usage | One-off | Limited | Reusable |
| Puffs (approx.) | Up to 600 | Up to 5,000 | Up to 7,000 |
| Price per puff | The highest at approx. CHF 1.2 rappen per puff | Cheaper, at around CHF 0.3 rappen per puff | The cheapest option is 0.27 rappen per puff |
The new generation’s improved reusable design drastically reduces electronic waste. As the most expensive component – the battery – is retained, the Refill-Pods refills are significantly cheaper to buy separately than constantly purchasing new starter kits.
Conclusion: Is it worth making the switch?
If you value ease of use but want to reduce the environmental impact of batteries, there’s no better option than the Elfbar NX7000 or the Lost Mary LUX7000 There’s hardly any way round it. The improved technology delivers a richer vapour experience and a more consistent flavour profile.
At goodvibe.ch We believe that this move towards reusable systems is exactly what the community needs. Less of a burden on the environment.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about NX7000 & LUX7000
Are the Pods and AF5000 compatible with the NX7000?
No. The NX7000 uses a completely new, modular Pod system. The old AF5000 containers do not fit into the new battery compartment.
How many puffs do the new devices actually deliver?
Manufacturers state a lifespan of up to 7,000 puffs. As with all Vapes models, this depends heavily on individual usage patterns (length and intensity of puffs). Realistically, these models offer very high endurance, which is significantly higher than that of the older 5000 and 6000 series models.
Do I have to throw the battery away once the Liquids has run out?
No! That’s the big advantage. You keep the battery unit and simply buy new Refill-Pods (replacement cartridges) in your favourite flavour.
How do I charge the Elfbar NX7000 or Lost Mary LUX7000?
Both devices have a modern USB-C port on the bottom or side. You can charge them using any standard USB-C cable.
What is the nicotine strength of the Pods?
As standard, most Pods for these systems are supplied with 20 mg/ml nicotine salt Liquid, which ensures a gentle sensation in the throat.
Is the taste worse with the reusable Pods?
On the contrary. As each new Pod comes with a new mesh coil (atomiser head), every time you replace it, you’ll enjoy the full flavour intensity of a brand-new device.
