Introducing the Elf Bar Dual 10k
Elf Bar is probably the best-known vaping brand in the world. It rocketed to fame with the release of its Elf Bar 600 vape pen. They've ridden that high over the years and have continued to excel in their field with new products like their ElfLIQ nic salts. With the rise of the big puff disposable vape in recent years, Elf Bar has, of course, moved with the times and recently revealed its second foray into the Prefilled vape kit market: The Elf Bar Dual 10K.
Elf Bar Dual 10k Review
The Elf Bar Dual 10k is the pinnacle of Elf Bar design. This device comes packed with an 850mAh battery for all-day power, two different flavours you can swap between at the flick of a switch, and 20 awesome flavours, including Elf Bar classics like Snoow Tobacco and Elfturbo.
From the cool colourways to the ease of flavour switching, the Elf Bar Dual 10k excited me as soon as I held it. As someone who enjoyed the Elf Bar 600 in the past, I felt I might be back on the Elf Bar train by the end of testing the Dual 10k. Shall we find out if I am?
Elf Bar Dual 10k Design
The Elf Bar Dual 10k's design gets a 5/5. It's comfortable and stylish, with many colourways like sweet wrappers. The dual flavour switching system is seamless and as easy as your ABCs.
Upon removing the Dual 10k from the packaging, I was thoroughly impressed by its cosmetics. I had the Sour edition, which was pink and blue, and it felt like something out of the 90s, which I got a real kick out of. It comes in at 47.5 x 97 x 22 mm, making it very comfortable to hold - not too small or bulky, perfect for slipping into a pocket or bag. It is made of plastic, but then again, most, if not all, disposable vapes are, so no harm, no foul.
I found the flavour toggle switch to click nicely into place whenever switching flavours, which left me safe, knowing that it wouldn't accidentally switch in my pocket. The little OLED display was bright and showed me all the info I needed at a glance, including battery level and the e-liquid level in both pods, which is a nice touch - something I found missing from the otherwise incredible IVG Air 4-in-1.
The two pre-filled pods that the Dual 10k comes with click quickly and securely into place at the top of the device, and there was no worry of them falling out. Overall, the product has a solid design, and I'm impressed with its build.
Elf Bar Dual 10k Battery & Charging
The Elf Bar Dual 10k's battery and charging get a 4/5. While the battery is smaller, considering the larger 10,000 puff count, it does incredibly well—plus, the Type-C USB charging gets it juiced up in no time. However, it will be pretty close to running out of power after a full day of usage.
It comes with an 850mAh battery, which manages incredibly well considering the size of the puff count. It got me through the day with no problem, but it was running pretty low when I went to bed, so it's probably good to have a charger handy if you use it heavily.
As for charging, the Type-C USB is speedy - as it should be. It can get a full charge in under an hour, which is perfect for busy people. Sadly, it doesn't come with a Type-C cable, so you'll have to use one lying around the house or pick a new one. On the whole, I was pretty impressed with the battery here. As mentioned, it's small but holds up to the 10k puff count, which was a lovely surprise.
Elf Bar Dual 10k Vaping Style & Puff Count
The vaping style and puff count of the Elf Bar Dual 10k gets a 4/5. It only has MTL, which was a little disappointing since the new Uwell Viscore 8000 supports both MTL and DTL, so a big company like Elf Bar should also have no problem kitting their new Dual 10k out with a similar function. Otherwise, it's solid in these departments, with a massive 10,000 puff count on average, and the MTL vaping is definitely smooth and delicious.
Now, most big puff vapes only do MTL (Mouth to Lung), but recent innovations from the likes of Uwell and their Viscore 8000 show that adding different vaping styles to a big puff device is absolutely possible, so it's a shame that Elf Bar hasn't employed the same tech to the Dual 10k here. All that said, the MTL was very smooth and extra tasty. Both flavours came out beautifully, and there was no dip in flavour as I got near the ends of the pods.
As for the puff count, the Dual 10k outputs a whopping 10,000 puffs on average per device, which is simply astonishing for a device so small and with only an 850mAh battery. And it was pretty true to its word.
Of course, puff count does vary from person to person and average usage, but I counted all my puffs, and it was pretty close to the 10k market when it ran out; so, in that regard, it performed very well indeed.
Elf Bar Dual 10k Flavours & Pre-Filled Pods
The flavours and pre-filed pods of the Elf Bar Dual 10k get a 5/5. 20 different editions with two flavours are delicious and intense in true Elf Bar fashion. Each 1 ml pod develops flavour beautifully, and the two 5 ml pre-filled pods provide more than enough nic salt e-liquid, and the auto-refill function works as a treat.
Elf Bar is known for its intense and tasty flavours, and the Dual 10k doesn't disappoint. From classics like Elfturbo and Blue Sour Raspberry, the Elf Bar Dual 10k comes in 20 different editions with two flavours each, and each can be swapped with the simple flick of a switch on the front of the device.
I love this feature. It's so easy to use and even more straightforward than the rotation mechanic of the IVG Air 4-in-1, which says something. I tried the sour edition of the Dual 10k, which came with Grape Mint and Fruits 66, and both were absolutely delicious.
The Elf Bar Dual 10k comes with pre-filled pods. Each one has a 5 ml capacity and slots into either side of the device at the top. I loved the design of these, as they weren't like the usual bottle-style pre-filled pods you see with the Elf Bar AF5000; they're like little cubes with notches in them, and from a cosmetic standpoint, they looked really cool. While we do know that Elf Bar will be releasing these pods as individual products, we haven't been given a date just yet, but we'll update you when we know more.
How do you use the Elf Bar Dual 10k?
So now you know all about the Elf Bar Dual 10k, but how do you use it? Don't worry. It's pretty straightforward, but here's a handy guide to help you get on your way!
- Remove the device from the box, along with the instruction sticker and any rubber bungs that are present.
- Insert the two pods into the spaces at the top and firmly press down on the two pods to lock them in place.
- Allow a few minutes for the e-liquids to fully saturate the wicking material, and then push the switch, either left or right, to pick a flavour and draw on the mouthpiece to begin vaping.
It's as simple as that! Elf Bar knows that ease of use is a big factor when it comes to vaping devices, and they haven't missed a beat with the Elf Bar Dual 10k either.
Summary of the Elf Bar Dual 10k
All in all, the Elf Bar Dual 10k is an excellent big puff device. It has all the hallmarks of Elf Bar's classic design philosophy: easy-to-use, colourful, comfortable, and innovative. The battery does a solid job of keeping the device going throughout the day, while the Type-C charging gets it powered up again in no time. Its two built-in 1 ml pods produce excellent, even flavour and the two 5 ml pre-filled pods it comes with have one of the most extraordinary pre-filled pod designs I've ever seen.
The 850mAh battery, while managing to get me through the day on medium usage, does run the risk of running out sooner if you use the Elf Bar Dual 10k heavily, which is a shame - I'm sure they could have managed at least a 1000mAh battery, but here we are. It also doesn't come with a Type-C charging cable, which is a little annoying, but they are pretty abundant since most electronic devices use Type-C these days, so finding one isn't tricky. It just would have been nice to include it, you know?
And finally, while it is pretty standard that big puff vapes and disposables in general only have MTL (Mouth-to-lung), I've seen newer big puffs offering both MTL (Mouth-to-lung) and DTL (direct-to-lung) vaping styles in one device. You'd think a big company like Elf Bar would jump on something like that, but who knows - perhaps they have something of that ilk in the pipeline for next year. We'll just have to wait and see.
Our final score for the Elf Bar Dual 10k is 4/5. It's a solid device with many advantages, but it is let down in a few small areas that could have been sorted, even if it did push the price up a little.

Final Thoughts on the Elf Bar Dual 10k
Well, here we are again at the end of another blog. We should really stop meeting like this. After using the Elf Bar Dual 10k for a couple of weeks, I must say I was impressed. I've expressed my minor gripes already, so I won't go into them again, but honestly, they're small enough to not be noticed by many people; I just tend to be picky with features. It was compact and comfortable, the flavours were smooth, delicious and intense, and it got me through the day, which is probably one of the main points vapers look for.
But we've got to take a second to talk about that dual flavour switch. I love the IVG Air 4-in-1. I think it's a phenomenally inventive device, and rotating the barrel to switch flavours is super easy; there's no doubt about it. But including a switch on the Elf Bar Dual 10k is so simple yet ground-breaking that I didn't realise I needed it until I tried it. It's as easy as turning on a light - just push it to the left or the right, and boom, new flavour. It's effortless in every sense of the word and has every right to be the focal point of Elf Bar's latest device.

FAQs
1. How long does a 10K vape last?
A 10K vape should last you about 50 days with moderate vaping. Of course, this can change depending on how much or little you vape, so your mileage may vary.
2. When are the Elf Bar Dual 10K prefilled replacement pods going to be released?
While Elf Bar has confirmed that the prefilled refill pods for the Elf Bar Dual 10K will be released separately, there isn't a release date quite yet. But keep your eyes on Ecigone as we'll update you when we hear more.
3. Elf Bar Dual 10K vs Crystal 10k What the Difference?
The Elf Bar Dual 10K is legal in the UK as it complies with TPD (Tobacco Product Directive) regulations by splitting up it's total e-liquid reserves into separate pods and sticking to 20 mg nicotine limit. Others, such as the Crystal 10K disposable vape, don't meet the regulations set down by the TPD and have an e-liquid reservoir far bigger than what is allowed.
