ELFBAR: An overview of models, systems and variants

ELFBAR is one of the best-known brands of e-cigarettes in Switzerland. Its range includes both disposable systems and rechargeable Pod systems. As disposable devices and Pods are limited to 2 ml of Liquid, rechargeable Pod systems such as the ELFA series now play a greater role than they did in the past. The goodvibe.ch range currently includes the ELFBAR models 600, 1000, ELFA Master, ELFA Pro and 4in1, as well as the corresponding ELFLIQ refill Liquid. We’ll show you how the systems differ and what to look out for when making your choice.

What is ELFBAR?

ELFBAR is a manufacturer of e-cigarettes. The devices consist of a rechargeable battery and a heating element which, when a puff is taken, heats and vaporises a small amount of Liquid. Depending on the model, the device is either disposed of after use or reused with new Pods cartridges.

Difference between single-use and Pod systems

• ELFBAR 600 and 1000 They are pre-filled and are disposed of in their entirety after use. They cannot be refilled.
• ELFA Master and ELFA Pro are rechargeable base units. When a Pod is flat, it is simply replaced.
• 4-in-1 is a base unit that can be used with various compatible Pod models.
• ELFLIQ is not a device, but a Liquid for refilling compatible, refillable Pods cartridges.

Which system is best depends on your personal usage patterns – for example, whether a device is used regularly or only occasionally.
