Elf Bar VS Puff Bar

• 2ml capacity
• 20mg strength
• 550mAh battery
• Approx. 600 puffs

Feature Comparison Elf Bar Vs Beco Bar

Both of these devices share many of the key, common features of disposable vapes, all centred around a general commitment to convenience and user-friendliness. The Elf Bar and the Beco Puff Bar are both sold in a ready to use condition, already filled withe liquid and with their batteries charged for use.

While both of these disposable vapes have the same nicotine strength, the Elf Bar has a higher e-liquid capacity and longer-lasting battery, resulting in approximately double the puff count of the Beco Bar.

Although this may initially signal a clear-cut winner on this front, a lower puff count has its benefits. Customers picking up a vape for their time may want to jump between a few flavours before settling on something that works for them. A lower puff count means a shorter-term commitment; i.e., you run less of a risk of picking a flavour, not enjoying it, and then having a bunch of leftover puffs going to waste.

The inner workings of a disposable are a key consideration when it comes to finding the right vape, but it can be equally important to find a device that looks and feels good in your hand.

• 1.3ml capacity
• 20mg strength
• 280mAh battery
• Approx. 300 puffs

• Cylindrical (130mm x ø22mm)
• Duckbill drip-tip
• Matte, textured exterior
• Separate body and mouthpiece

Design Comparison

The Beco Puff Bar and the Elf Bar are strikingly different in appearance. There’s a case to be made that these two devices represent the twin poles of disposable vape design, with each of them having set the standard for their respective styles.

The design of the Elf Bar is now ubiquitous within disposable vaping, the reason being that Elf Bar themselves played a large part in popularising it. It has a classic cylindrical body that retains a uniform diameter until reaching the top, where the mouthpiece tapers into a duckbill-style tip.

By comparison, the Beco Bar is the progenitor of the flat, bar-shaped disposable vape style. It’s rectangular rather than rounded, and —crucially —is much flatter than a cylindrical disposable, coming in at a mere 6mm thick. It has a seamless, unibody build, wherein the mouthpiece is built directly into the body of the device.

One common design aspect of both is colouring; both disposables have an outer sleeve in a colour indicating the given device’s flavour. Both brands have opted for a matte, pastel finish, which gives them a look that’s simultaneously vivid and understated. Of course, all the sleek design in the world can only take you so far.

You may love the look of a device, but that won’t help if you don’t like the taste. So let’s take a look at some of the flavours on offer.

• Rectangular shape (97 x 15 x 6mm)
• Inbuilt mouthpiece
• Seamless unibody build
• Matte exterior

• Pink Lemonade
• Cotton Candy Ice
• Cola
• Grape
• Blue Razz Lemonade

Elf Bar Vs Beco Puff Bar Flavour Comparison

Elf Bar and Beco Puff Bar each have a solid variety of disposable vape flavours in their respective ranges, so there’s plenty to pick and choose from. In either case, there’s a plethora of fruity favourites on offer, including such perennial classics as refreshing Watermelon, luscious Strawberry, and electrifying Blue Razz.

Whilst there’s a fair deal of overlap between the two, each brand does have a few exclusive flavours not offered by the other. In the case of Elf Bar, they have more of a focus on soft drinks, so they’ll be a shoo-in for anyone who can’t resist a Cola or energy drink flavour. Conversely, Beco Bar carries two time-honoured tastes you won’t find with its competitor, Menthol Tobacco and Spearmint.

Beyond the flavour profiles themselves, there’s a key distinction to note which would be a deciding factor; flavour intensity. Of the two disposables, Elf Bar has a much more intense, long-lasting flavour, delivered through a more noticeable throat hit.

By contrast, Beco Bar disposables deliver clean and crisp flavour profiles that are overall more mellow and subtle.

Performance Comparison

As we mentioned at the start of this review, Beco Bar and Elf Bar do share a lot of common features that are standard for disposable vapes.

In addition to their convenience and portability, both have buttonless, inhale-activation. They both contain nic salts at a strength of 20mg and a 50PG:50VG composition ratio, which will give you a nice, smooth throat hit, rich flavour, and a moderate, unshowy amount of vapour. They do however differ in terms of battery strength and e liquid capacity, resulting in a marked difference in puff count.

An Elf Bar will give you around 600 puffs, whereas the Beco Bar will only deliver about 300. This isn’t a slight on the Beco Bar by any means; it slower capacity is understandable given it’s lower price tag, and —in reality —simply means it may appeal to a different type of vape user.

In tandem with puff count consideration, Elf Bar also delivers a bolder throat hit and a more intense flavour. As such, Beco Bar may be preferable for customers who want a milder vape sensation, whereas Elf Bar might be the better choice for either heavier smokers or users who otherwise want a slightly stronger-feeling vape.

Overall, both devices deliver the same nicotine hit in a similar manner, but, when deciding which vape might suit your need, it’s worth bearing in mind their differing intensities of flavour. Having now run through each device's features, design, flavours, and performance, it’s time to summarise our findings.
