Elf Bar AF5500 refill pods are the direct replacement for AF5000 disposables after the June 2025 ban. Each pod pack holds 12ml of 20mg nic salt total, split between a 2ml prefilled pod and a 10ml auto-refill container underneath. That gives you approximately 5,500 puffs before you need a new one.
Ten flavours carried across from the AF5000 range. Blue Razz Lemonade, Watermelon Ice, Blueberry Sour Raspberry, all the Elfbar AF5000 favourites. The AF5500 prefilled pods use Elfliq nic salt recipes at 20mg with a QUAQ mesh coil in every pod. Slot them into the Elf Bar AF5500 vape kit and you're set.
All Elf Bar AF5500 pods and the rechargeable vape kit ship free next-day on orders over £30. We dispatch 7 days a week from an authorised Elf Bar stockist.
The AF5000 was one of the biggest selling disposable vapes in the UK before the June 2025 ban pulled it off shelves. If you're searching for an Elf Bar AF5000 refill, the AF5500 is what took its place. Elf Bar launched a rechargeable kit with swappable refill pods to replace the AF5000 disposable. You buy the AF5500 pod kit once, then snap in a fresh AF5500 refill pod when the old one runs dry.

AF5000 vs AF5500 - What Changed
Elf Bar AF5000 disposables got banned. The AF5500 is what replaced them. Flavours didn't change, nicotine strength didn't change, the draw feels the way it always did. What changed is you're now keeping a rechargeable battery instead of throwing one away every few days. Our guide to switching from disposables covers the full process if you're new to pod kits.

How to Set Up AF5500 Pods
The first pod takes about 30 seconds. After that it's just pull the old one off, click a new one on.
Peel the silicone plugs off both the 2ml pod and 10ml container
Take the cap off the container but leave the inner stopper in place
Click the pod into your AF5500 kit, magnets hold it firm
Turn the kit upside down twice so liquid reaches the coil
Wait 30 seconds, then draw on it to vape
No buttons anywhere on the AF5500 prefilled pod kit. Inhale and it fires. The auto-refill container keeps the 2ml pod topped up on its own throughout the day. When flavour starts to drop off, that's the pod telling you it's empty.
AF5500 Rechargeable Vape Kit
The Elf Bar AF5500 reusable kit runs a 1000mAh battery. Enough for most people to get a full day between charges, sometimes longer depending on how much you vape. Heavy users might plug it in by evening.
The USB-C port on the bottom, takes roughly an hour from flat. If you've got an Android or newer iPhone charger, that cable works.
The AF5500 rechargeable vape kit costs £7.99 and that's the only kit cost. From there it's £5.99 per refill pod. No coils to change, no tanks to clean, no liquid to buy separately. The Elfbar AF5500 pod vape kit sits alongside other prefilled pod kits on our site but it's about as close to a disposable as you can get without actually being one. Pocket size, draw activated, no settings to fiddle with.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you refill an Elf Bar AF5000?
No. The AF5000 was a sealed disposable vape and it's been banned since June 2025. You can't crack it open or top it up. Elf Bar AF5500 refill pods are the AF5000 refill replacement. You buy the rechargeable AF5500 kit once then swap in new pods at £5.99 each.
How do you use Elf Bar AF5500 refill pods?
Peel the plugs off, click the pod into the AF5500 kit, flip it upside down twice, wait 30 seconds. After that just inhale. The 10ml container feeds the 2ml pod throughout the day. No buttons, no manual filling.
Are Elf Bar AF5000 pods refillable with your own liquid?
No. AF5500 pods are sealed prefilled pods. You can't open them up and add your own liquid or top them off from a bottle. Once the 12ml of nic salt runs out, pull the whole AF5500 refill pod off and snap a fresh one on.
How many puffs does an AF5500 pod give you?
Approximately 5,500 puffs per pod pack. That's 500 more than the old AF5000 disposable used to give. Actual puff count depends on draw length and how often you vape throughout the day.

10 flavours, all carried over from the AF5000 range. Blue Razz Lemonade, Watermelon Ice, Blueberry Sour Raspberry, Cherry Ice, and more. Elfliq nic salt recipes at 20mg. We stock every AF5500 pod flavour.
What's the difference between AF5000 and AF5500?
AF5000 was the disposable, banned June 2025. AF5500 is the rechargeable version with swappable refill pods. Flavours and strength are the way they were. You're saving £4 per pod compared to what the disposable cost.
Do Elf Bar AF5500 refill pods work with other Elf Bar vape kits?
No, AF5500 refill pods only fit the AF5500 kit. They won't click into the 600, Dual 10K, or JoinOne15. Each Elf Bar pod range uses its own connection. Check your kit name before ordering.
