Elf Bar AF5500 Puffs Prefilled & Reusable Pod Kit

Elf Bar AF5500 Puffs Prefilled & Reusable Pod Kit

For a lot of UK vapers, the old Elf Bar AF5000 was the kit they stuck with for years. Consistent flavour, simple operation, and that familiar tight MTL draw. When the June 2025 disposable ban took it off shelves, there was a genuine question about what would replace it. The answer turned out to be the Elf Bar AF5500 Puffs Prefilled & Reusable Pod Kit, and it preserves everything people loved about the AF5000 while adding a bigger battery, replaceable pods, and the longevity that comes with a rechargeable device. At AJ Super Store, this has quietly become one of the most requested kits in the Elf Bar lineup. If you have been scrolling through the Elf Bar Prefilled & Reusable Kits range trying to figure out which AF5500-style kit to settle on, this is the one that picks up where the disposable left off.

What Makes the Elf Bar AF5500 Vape Kit Tick

The structure is deliberately simple. A 2ml prefilled pod sits at the top of the device with a built-in 1.2 ohm QUAQ mesh coil already fitted. Beneath it, a 10ml refill container slots into the base. The container feeds e-liquid up into the pod through capillary action as you vape, keeping the coil saturated and the flavour steady right through the full puff count. Small bubbles rising through the transparent body show you the system working in real time. Between the pod and the container, you get 12ml of 20mg Elfliq nicotine salt e-liquid per refill pack, which translates to up to 5,500 puffs before needing a replacement. That is significantly more than the 650mAh, 5,000 puff AF5000 used to deliver, and you are not binning the battery when it runs out.

1000mAh Battery Built to Last a Full Day

Power inside the Elf Bar AF5500 comes from a built-in 1000mAh rechargeable battery, a clear step up from the AF5000's 650mAh cell. For most moderate vapers, a full charge comfortably covers a day of use, and lighter vapers will often stretch it to a day and a half. USB-C fast charging brings the battery from flat to full in roughly 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the cable, so downtime between sessions is minimal. A small LED indicator on the body shows battery level at a glance, which means you are never caught out mid-evening wondering whether you need to plug in.

Elf Bar AF5000 vs AF5500

Still searching for the Elf Bar AF5000? This is what replaced it.

The coil, flavours, draw, and nic salt strength are all carried over. What's changed is the battery and the fact you swap pods instead of binning a working vape every few days. 

1000mAh Battery and USB-C Charging

A 1000mAh battery in the Elf Bar AF5500 goes a full day for most MTL vapers. That's nearly double what the AF5000 had at 650mAh, so you're not running flat halfway through the afternoon like the old one sometimes did.

USB-C on the base takes roughly an hour to charge from empty. The LED on the front tells you where you're at with the battery. No cable in the box though, so any USB-C phone charger does the job.

QUAQ Mesh Coil and Auto-Refill

Inside each Elf Bar AF5500 pod there's a 1.2ohm QUAQ mesh coil that heats e-liquid across a wider surface than a standard round coil would. In practice that means the flavour doesn't tail off towards the end of the pod the way it can with cheaper kits.

E-liquid management is handled by the auto-refill container. The 10ml container sits in the base and feeds liquid up into the 2ml pod through capillary action as you vape. You'll spot small bubbles rising through the see-through body when it's working. Between the pod and container you've got 12ml of ElfLIQ nic salt, which is where the approximately 5,500 puff count comes from.

One thing worth knowing: this is a prefilled kit, not a refillable one. You can't open the pods or top them up with your own e-liquid. When everything's empty you swap in a fresh Elf Bar AF5500 refill pod set and you're good to go again.

Elf Bar AF5500 Flavours

Ten Elf Bar AF5500 flavours right now, all prefilled with 20mg ElfLIQ nic salt. These are the same flavours that were in the AF5000 range.
