Get ready for an electrifying comeback as Elf Bar unleashes its all-new pod vape kit—the Elf Bar Elfa PRO!
When the Elfa first hit the shelves back in 2022, the vaping landscape was forever changed. Becoming an immediate bestseller, this Elf Bar pod kit was the first of its kind— taking the iconic and beloved style, shape and convenience of Elf Bar disposables and packaging it in a reusable and more sustainable
But as vaping technology improves, brands have to keep up. That’s why Elf Bar has just dropped the new Elfa PRO. This upgraded Elf Bar pod kit promises the same compact nature as its predecessor while incorporating cutting-edge technology. But can the Elfa PRO really outshine the success of the original Elfa? Well, that’s what I’m here to find out.
In this guide, I’ll provide an in-depth side-by-side comparison of both the Elfa and Elfa PRO, exploring their key features, overall design and flavour selection to help you decide which Elf Bar pod kit is right for you. So, let’s get right to it!
Elf Bar Elfa
- Puff Count: 600
- Battery Size: 500mAh
- Coil Type: Mesh
- E-Liquid Capacity: 2ml
Features Comparison
As I’d never used the Elfa or Elfa PRO myself, I entered this review task having no idea what to expect. Both devices arrived with a prefilled pod already inserted, which was a pleasant surprise. After removing the instruction stickers from both Elfa pods, I was able to begin vaping right away without any hiccups or further setup necessary, and I was grateful to find that both Elfa vapes arrived with some battery life.
While these two Elf Bar devices are very similar, sporting the same battery size and pod capacity, the real differences can be found in the prefilled pods. While original Elfa pods feature a mesh coil, Elfa PRO pods house a QUAQ mesh coil. If that name rings a bell, you might have come across it in other vape models such as the Elf Bar V2 or the Lost Mary QM600. And if you’ve checked out my Elf Bar 600 Vs Elf Bar V2 comparison blog, you’ll already know that I’m a big fan.
When comparing the flavour and feel of Elfa pods and Elfa PRO pods, they honestly couldn’t be more different. While the original Elfa delivers a tight, slightly restricted draw, much like the Elf Bar 600, the Elfa PRO serves up a deliciously light and airy vape which I find to be far more satisfying. I also must admit that Elfa PRO pods delivered better flavour and more potency overall, which is one of the key advantages of its QUAQ mesh coil.
It’s important to note that Elfa Pods and Elfa PRO pods are entirely interchangeable. This means that if you’re keen to try out the QUAQ mesh coil but don’t want to splash out on a whole new device, you can simply use Elfa PRO pods in your original Elfa device, and vice versa.
Now that we’ve covered the key features, let’s explore the outer differences between these Elf Bars.

Now that we’ve covered the key features, let’s explore the outer differences between these Elf Bars.
Elf Bar Elfa
- Rubberised matte exterior
- Size: 10.5 x 1.5cm
- Slim duckbill mouthpiece
- Cylindrical, pen-style shape
- Opaque pods
Ergonomics & Design Comparison
Right from the get-go, it was a challenge to tell the two devices apart. The packaging is identical, and it took me a while to notice the very small “Elfa PRO” text featured on the new Elfa box. Ans once removed from the packaging, it didn’t get any easier. Sat side-by-side, these two pod kits are almost indistinguishable. If it wasn’t for the differing colour palettes, I definitely would have lost track of which device was which.
Both the Elfa kit and Elfa PRO sport the iconic cylindrical pen-style shape that Elf Bar is renowned for, matching the same compact and portable measurements as their disposable vapes. The exterior of these Elfa vapes makes them difficult to tell apart, with each device featuring a smooth rubberised shell for additional grip. While I’m relieved that Elf Bar didn’t stray too far away from the original Elfa design, I do think the new Elfa PRO would benefit from some additional branding on the device itself to set it apart from its predecessor.
But once again, the real differences come down to the prefilled pods. Elfa Pods are known for sporting the same duckbill mouthpiece as Elf Bar disposables, making it a familiar choice for those making the transition to a pod kit. While Elfa Pro pods also feature a duckbill-style mouthpiece, it’s slightly wider than the original Elfa and boasts a larger airflow hole, which I personally prefer.
In my opinion, the best design difference between Elfa pods and Elfa PRO pods is that Elfa PRO pods are more transparent. I hated not knowing how much e-liquid was left in my Elfa pod, and their opaque design meant I had to predict when the pod was empty, which often meant using it until I was met with dry hits and an awful burned taste. When held up to the light, I can easily check how much vape juice is left in my Elfa PRO pods, allowing for a far more convenient and flavoursome experience.
Now that we’ve covered how each device looks, let’s find out what flavours are on offer.

Flavour Comparison
Many Elf Bar fans turned to the Elfa vape kit as a way to enjoy their favourite Elf Bar flavours for longer. So, I was pleased to learn that Elfa PRO pods are available in 30 delicious flavour profiles, the same number of blends up for grabs as the original Elfa vape pods. Nevertheless, there are some differences between the two.
While both Elfa pods and Elfa PRO pods are available in plenty of Elf Bar classics such as Watermelon, Tropical Fruit, and Pink Lemonade, there are a couple of blends that are exclusive to the new Elfa PRO range. For example, new concoctions such as Strawberry Snoow and Pineapple Lemon Qi can only be found in Elfa PRO pods.
However, keep in mind that PRO pods are compatible with the original Elfa device. So if you want to give these new Elfa pod flavours a try, you don’t necessarily need to purchase the new device.

Elf Bar Elfa Vs Elf Bar Elfa PRO Market Comparison
As more and more popular disposable vape brands are creating and releasing pod kits to give their customers a sustainable alternative, it’s a good idea to see how these Elfa vapes compare to their competitors.
As a prefilled pod kit user myself, I was quick to draw comparisons between the Elfa devices and the pod kit I use every day— the SKE Crystal Plus. I’m a die-hard fan of the Crystal Plus, and have been since its release. Besides its eye-catching crystallised exterior and compact build, I love how this pod kit feels. I’ve never been able to find another prefilled pod kit that delivers a light and airy draw akin to disposables— until now.
Despite my unwavering loyalty to the SKE Crystal Plus, I’m truly blown away by just how much I’m enjoying the Elfa PRO. Much like the Crystal Plus, the Elfa PRO delivers that same airy vape sensation that I crave, which is something I just didn’t experience when using the original Elfa pod kit.
Let's not forget that the Elfa PRO isn't the only device embracing QUAQ mesh coil technology. Lost Mary's latest offering, the Tappo pod kit, is set to hit the shelves next month and also incorporates this enhanced coil and I’m excited to find out how it performs in comparison. This QUAQ mesh coil trend is catching on quickly, and as it continues to capture attention, I expect to see more pod kits incorporating this futuristic tech soon.
As well as Lost Mary, Dinner Lady is also entering the pod kit scene with the upcoming release of their new FUYL pod kit. This pod vape kit will be compatible with their range of FUYL prefilled pods which will be available in a range of popular Dinner Lady flavours. With so many leading brands venturing into the realm of pod vape kits and prefilled pods, the competition is certainly heating up, and I’m excited to try out these new products when they land to see how they stack up against the Elfa range.

Elf Bar Elfa Vs Elf Bar Elfa PRO Verdict
As I mentioned earlier, this is my first time using an Elfa device, so I entered this task with an open mind and without any preconceived opinions. Nevertheless, it was easy for me to choose a winner.
Although I really can’t fault the original Elfa device, it’s clear that the new advancements featured on the Elfa PRO make it the superior vape. Both devices share an almost identical look and feel from the outside, but the overall experience couldn’t be more different. In my opinion, the Elfa PRO outperforms its predecessor in every single category.
Thanks to the addition of the QUAQ mesh coil, the flavour of the PRO pods is nothing short of perfect, remaining potent until the very last drop. While the taste of the original Elfa pods are far from unpleasant, the flavour would begin to diminish long before the pod was fully depleted. And I’m not a huge fan of the slightly restricted draw of the original Elfa, so the light and airy sensation the PRO provides is right up my alley.
I also must stress just how much of a difference the new pod design makes. Swapping opaque pods for transparent PRO pods is a total game-changer, and it just makes sense. I don’t think I could use the original Elfa pods long-term myself, simply because I wouldn’t be able to tolerate dry hits every time the pod runs low.
However, I am grateful that Elfa pods and Elfa PRO pods are interchangeable. So, if you already own the original Elfa pod kit and are unsure about making the upgrade, I suggest picking up a pack of Elfa PRO pods and trying them out in your current device first. But be warned — once you make the switch, you’ll never want to go back!
