Elf Bar AF5500 vs AF5000 - What Changed?

The AF5000 was discontinued when UK law banned all disposable vapes in June 2025. Elf Bar responded by launching the Elf Bar AF5500 refill pods as the direct replacement. The flavours are identical, the 20mg nic salt strength remains the same, and the draw is unchanged - just rechargeable now instead of single-use.

The format switched from disposable units to a rechargeable vape kit with replaceable AF5500 pods. You keep the battery and simply replace pods when empty. The AF5500 delivers 5500 puffs per refill compared to the 5000 the AF5000 provided - an additional 500 puffs per pack. The vape kit features an upgraded 1000mAh battery with USB-C charging that lasts a full day for most users before requiring a recharge. This system costs approximately 40% less per puff than the AF5000 disposables and creates significantly less waste by maintaining one rechargeable battery instead of disposing of multiple units weekly.

All flavours transferred directly from the AF5000 lineup. Blue Razz Lemonade, Watermelon Ice, Blueberry Sour Raspberry - they taste identical because Elf Bar maintained the exact same e-liquid recipes. The 2ml pod with 10ml auto-refill container provides the same convenience as disposables without the legal restrictions or ongoing expense. The draw resistance, throat hit, and vapour production all match what AF5000 users experienced. For more information on MTL vaping and how it compares to other styles, see our MTL vs DTL guide.

Elf Bar AF5500 Pods

When the AF5000 was discontinued, Elf Bar launched these AF5500 refill pods as the legal replacement. Each pod pack delivers 5500 puffs - 500 more than the AF5000 provided. You get a 2ml prefilled pod and a 10ml refill container that automatically tops up the pod while you vape. No manual refilling, no coil swapping. The 20mg nic salt strength matches the AF5000, flavours taste identical, and the throat hit feels exactly the same - just rechargeable now instead of disposable.

The setup is straightforward. The 10ml container sits below the 2ml pod and feeds e-liquid up automatically throughout the day. Click the pod into your AF5500 kit, inhale to activate, and you're vaping. The MTL draw provides a natural cigarette-like experience. QUAQ mesh coil maintains consistent flavour across all 5500 puffs. The magnetic connection secures your pod firmly without threading. The sealed design prevents leaks even during daily carry.

Elf Bar AF5500 Refill Pods Key Features

Elf Bar AF5500 Refill Pods Key Features

What's included in each Elf Bar AF5500 refill pod pack:

  • 5500 puffs (500 more than AF5000)
  • 2ml prefilled pod
  • 10ml auto-refill container
  • 12ml total e-liquid
  • 20mg nicotine salt
  • QUAQ mesh coil
  • MTL draw
  • Original Elf Bar flavours
  • TPD compliant
  • Magnetic connection
  • Leak-resistant seal
  • Compatible with AF5500 vape kit (1000mAh battery)

The QUAQ mesh coil heats e-liquid more evenly than standard wire coils, maintaining consistent flavour across all 5500 puffs. Standard coils produce diminished flavour after a few hundred puffs due to limited e-liquid contact. Mesh coils distribute heat across a larger surface area, delivering consistent flavour from first puff to last. The auto-refill system and magnetic connection eliminate threading, manual filling, and burnt coil issues. For technical details on mesh coil advantages, see our vape coil guide.

How to Use Elf Bar AF5500 Refill Pods

How to Use Elf Bar AF5500 Refill Pods

Setting up AF5500 refill pods takes approximately 30 seconds:

Setup:

  1. Remove the silicone plugs from both the 2ml pod and 10ml container
  2. Remove the cap from the 10ml container while leaving the inner stopper in place
  3. Insert the 2ml pod into your AF5500 vape kit - it secures with magnets

Priming:

  1. Turn the kit upside down 2-3 times to allow e-liquid to flow to the coil
  2. Wait 30 seconds before taking your first puff
  3. This saturates the mesh and prevents dry hits

Vaping:

  1. Inhale to activate - no buttons required
  2. The 10ml container refills the 2ml pod automatically as you vape
  3. Replace with fresh AF5500 pods after approximately 5500 puffs

Replacing:

  1. Pull the empty pod straight up to remove
  2. Insert new Elf Bar AF5500 refill pods and continue vaping

The process is as simple as the AF5000 was, with better value and legal compliance. Draw-activated firing eliminates buttons and settings. The magnetic connection is more secure than threaded tanks and prevents cross-threading or connection leaks. For expanded flavour options, Elf Bar ELFLIQ Nic Salts cost £1.99 per 10ml bottle and work in any refillable vape kit, providing thousands of flavour options beyond the AF5500 pod range.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many puffs do Elf Bar AF5500 refill pods give you?

Each AF5500 refill pod delivers approximately 5500 puffs, though this varies depending on how long and how frequently you inhale. Even though manufacturers are marketing prefilled pod kits as 5000 puffs and beyond, please be aware that most people won't get that exact amount. Most will come in a lot lower depending on the length of inhale you take.

What flavours are available in Elf Bar AF5500 refill pods?

Over 10 of the best Elf Bar flavours are available including Blue Razz Lemonade, Watermelon Ice, Blueberry Sour Raspberry, Strawberry Ice, Cherry Ice, Grape, Lemon Lime, and Pineapple Ice. These use the exact same vape juice found in the original AF5000 disposables, so they taste identical. All AF5500 refill pod flavours come in 20mg nic salt strength only. If you want lower strengths, you can use a refillable vape and the Elf Bar ELFLIQ nic salts.

Are Elf Bar AF5500 refill pods reusable or refillable?

No, AF5500 pods are sealed and cannot be manually refilled with your own e-liquid. They're designed as single-use prefilled pods that you replace when empty. The auto-refill system transfers e-liquid from the 10ml container to the 2ml pod automatically while you vape. Once both run empty after approximately 5500 puffs, you dispose of them and insert a fresh refill pod pack. For manually refillable options where you choose your own e-liquids, check out Elf Bar ELFLIQ nic salts which work in any refillable pod kit.

What's the difference between Elf Bar AF5500 pods and Elf Bar 600 pods?

AF5500 pods deliver 5500 puffs with a 2ml pod plus 10ml auto-refill container (12ml total), while Elf Bar 600 pods give 600 puffs from a 2ml capacity. AF5500 pods cost £5.99 and last 5-10 days, whereas 600 pods cost around £3.49 and last 1-2 days. Most people still vape the Elf Bar 600 because they like the form factor of it being a lot smaller and the familiar stick shape compared to the AF5500.

Where can I buy Elf Bar AF5500 replacement pods in the UK?

Ecigone stocks the complete range of Elf Bar AF5500 refill pods with all flavours available for immediate dispatch. Orders over £30 get free next-day delivery anywhere in the UK. All AF5500 pods are genuine Elf Bar stock, TPD compliant, and legal to sell. We maintain high stock levels across all popular flavours, so you won't experience restocking delays. Orders placed before the daily cut-off ship same day for next-day delivery to most UK addresses.

Do Elf Bar AF5500 refill pods work with other Elf Bar vape kits?

No, they only fit the AF5500 vape kit. Won't work with the Elf Bar 600, Elfa, Elfa Pro, or any other Elf Bar device. All prefilled vape pod refills from all brands only work in the prefilled vape kit they're designed for. Nothing so far is cross-compatible, but maybe we'll see that in the future.
