Charging Your Elf Bar: Everything You Need to Know (2023)

Elf Bar charger instructions

The Elf Bar charging instructions are as follows:

1. Connect a USB-C cable to the bottom charge port, likely located on the bottom of your Elf Bar.
2. Connect the USB-C cord’s connector to an available USB appropriate for powering other small electronic devices (phones, laptops, earbuds, etc.)
3. A glowing light will illuminate while the Elf Bar charges. Once it goes off, it’s fully charged.
4. You can use the Elf Bar as it charges, a feature called pass-thru charging.

Which Elf Bar do you have?

Did you know that “Elf Bar” is a brand? Though Elf Bar’s first disposable was called the “Elf Bar,” the brand name is responsible for dozens of different products, from some of the best disposables, to pod vapes and e-liquid. But the name “Elf Bar” is how a lot of retailers refer to the devices as a whole.

If you have an Elf Bar branded disposable device, there’s a chance that it may not be rechargeable.

The most popular Elf Bar disposables, like the BC5000, are rechargeable. That said, there are actually more non-rechargeable disposable Elf Bars than there are rechargeable ones. Here are two lists of all Elf Bar disposable products and which are rechargeable. Also included is the mAh (milliamp hours) of the battery, which indicates run times as well as charge times (larger mAh basically means longer battery power).

Rechargeable disposable Elf Bars

• BC1600 - 1600 mAh - Rechargeable
• BC3000/3500/4000/5000 - 650 mAh - Rechargeable
• BC5000 Ultra - 650 mAh - Rechargeable
• BB3000/3500 - 650 mAh - Rechargeable
• LB5000 - 650 mAh - Rechargeable
• CR5000 - 650 mAh - Rechargeable
• Elfbar 3600/5000 - 650 mAh - Rechargeable

How long does it take to charge an Elf Bar?

The charge time varies per Elf Bar model. The general rule of thumb is 30-90 minutes, depending on the Elf Bar’s mAh rating and how depleted it is. The lowest mAh is in the shortest charge time, and the highest is in the longest. The average time for charging 650 mAh is approximately an hour.

The Elf Bar disposable will blink its indicator light when it needs to be charged, but if you charge before the indicator light blinks, it will obviously take less time than waiting until the battery is totally drained.

All rechargeable Elf Bar vapes have USB-C ports

As with most modern electronic devices, Elf Bars charge through USB-C ports. USB-C charge cables are different than traditional micro-USB cables in that the plug is symmetrical and oval-shaped. Micro-USB cables have an asymmetrical shape with one flat side, which always seems to get inserted upside down on the first try. USB-C cables go in on the first try.

With all Elf Bar rechargeable disposables, there’ll be a visible USB-C port, most often on the bottom of the device—not to be confused with an airflow hole.

The Elf Bar disposables don’t come with a charging cable, though. By now, most people have USB-C charge cables around. If not, you can pick one up from any store that sells electronics, even gas stations and drug stores.

As stated, charge the Elf Bar as you would any other small electronic device. All vapes, Elf Bars notwithstanding, are powered by lithium-ion batteries. Practice the same care as you usually do when handling small electronic devices with batteries and their respective power sources.
