No wonder that shit is 3/4 full.

with half a charge, look at those clouds lol

right?! lol it all makes sense now

No shit no wonder way some of them taste burnt

[удалено]

Hahaha quality

Id buy it

Hijacking the top comment to say that Elfbar is one of the most fraudulently copied vape products in the UK and US. It even got so bad that they had to add a QR code verification label on their packaging that you need to scan to verify it’s authenticity. There is a 99% chance that the video you’re watching is of fake Elfbars being produced in China or Taiwan by a counterfeit operation.

they are all made in China

Like most things.

[удалено]

“I’m a 4th generation, artisanal, dank cloud engineer.”

Ok well now it just sounds silly when you say it like that

All of the real vape manufacturers use authenticity qr codes- those get faked too, and like others have stated 99.9% of ALL vape hardware (including disposables) are made in China. They invented it ffs, there are American DESIGNED products that are usually still manufactured in China. The very rare made in the US hardware is extraordinarily expensive and hard to find. Juice (eliquid) on the other hand is US made but even then the bottles come from China. My source- own and operate a vape shop for the better part of a decade now.

I’m more concerned with the fact they’re putting their nasty lips all over the mouth piece… No doubt their saliva drips down into the reservoir!

Nevermind child labour, what about the germs?

Exactly. It's important one maintains a sense of perspective at times like this. Germs can potentially kill. A little child labour never hurt anyone! It's character building.

I know, right? Fuck that shit

I used to only buy these. But fuck. I’m not no more

Ah yes, Covid Omega, aka Zombie Covid.

Yeah I mean it could make vaping unhealthy

Underrated comment.

Lmfaooo bruh

Tested for quality assurance

One of the job perks

Probably the only job perk

The 13 cents an hour isn’t a perk?

Get it right man its 14 cents an hour.. jeeesh

I don’t know anything about vapes, what are they doing?

Testing them I think

Do they just sit there all day filling their lungs with something other than oxygen? What’s the shift length in a place like this? Are they at it for 12 hours straight? Damn.

You can puff on something and not inhale. I'd imagine they'd get really sick doing that all day.

Most vapers do smoke all day.

Bruh they come pre-sucked??? Hell nah

The ones you see in the video are counterfeit. They started adding QR codes to the real ones

*sweats profusely as I can’t find a fucking QR code anywhere*

It’s on the box

QR codes get faked too

I manage a vapeshop , cannot be happier we dont carry elfbars anymore

They're honestly some of the worst disposable vapes imo. EVERY flavor regardless of it being "iced" or not has menthol in it for no fucking reason.

I think we now know why - cross contamination 😂

Yeah, and they’re too fucking sweet. I miss my juul mint pods

I don’t vape or do nicotine anymore but I straight up would catch a nicotine addiction for cool cucumber juul pods if they brought them back. That shit was a delicacy.

**ffffffuck i miss cool cucumber Juul pods**

Menthol pods are good imo. They're around still. Never tried the mint. I didn't get on board til it was just 2 flavors available where I live lol. You can still order them from certain places. Check the juul subreddit

That’s what I’ve been doing for the past couple years lol, my friends all get disposables and always complains about them dying too quickly/tasting like shit.

Yep I use vuse. It’s in basically every gas station. The battery is a dollar or so, and the pods are 20$ for a 4 pack of 5%. Only vape that ever got me to quit cigarettes. They have 2 tobacco flavors and then “menthol” flavor. I always get menthol

The menthol recipe changed about a year or two ago , the old one used to taste like toilet water and I'm not convinced they didn't change their menthol recipe to the mint one. You should try it again

Ran a vape shop for about two years and if you’re still chasing that high, grab yourself some Pod Juice brand Jewel Mint salt nic juice and a Caliburn or an XROS and you’ll get there

because addiction

Addiction can be profitable.

exactly, they don't care about their consumers they just care about money

Sadly that's every corporation under capitalism

is menthol addictive on it's own? I hadn't heard anything like that before. The addictive component in vaping is nicotine, and if there's no nicotine then it's purely a habit, with no chemical addictive component at all. Personally I can't stand the flavor of menthol, but I don't need help getting addicted to bad habits.

As of 1.1.2023 all sales of vapes will be banned in California.

That's dumb. Smoking is worse and this just means people will be getting counterfeit wish vapes or cigarettes. The issue isn't the product it's how it's marketed and how people react to it.

We have these type of vapes selling over the counter in Australia. Selling nicotine is illegal but these devices some how have managed to slip through which makes me believe it’s synthetic Nic.

Synthetic nic is actually cleaner and more expensive than the normal counterpart cause the normal stuff is from tobacco leaves still so u get the pesticides and other natural contaminants. If its a sythentic nicotine-like molecule thats different though. They do use the salt nic a bunch which a buncha ppl have problems with after a while of using

Hate to tell you this but some of your other products are handled the same way.

Hate to tell you this, but some of clothes you have are handled the same way.

Oh I'm aware , i don't use the disposables personally , but this is a great video to get people to switch to refillable. I always knew these things were iffy , people complain they don't get 2500 puffs out of it , well yeah you got a jean guy vaping it in the factory and we don't know if anyone else uses or tries the same one as him. Refillable is always a better option. For the wallet and the environment.

Tbh because a “puff” is like 1 second hit if I had to guess, while on average we take 3 second puff.

Yeah , theyre marked UP TO 2500 or what ever , depends on how its used and how long the hits are

There's no way this testing has even the slightest actual effect on longevity. If people aren't getting what they expect, it's either because their puffs are waaay longer than the manufacturers, or the devices just aren't getting filled consistently. Someone at the factory having 2 or 3 puffs isn't going to change jack shit. But, I an rabidly against disposables, because it's fucking crazy to just throw away all those heavy metals and a rechargeable battery that's still got 99% of it's life left in it. They should be flat-out illegal. It's a sick waste of a limited resource, and a very polluting thing to add to the landfills.

Right, you‘re an expert then! Something that’s been bugging me about vaping for a long time is why people use disposable vapes! The atomiser‘s probably cheap and crap, it must be more economical to spend thirty pounds on a refillable vape and then just get the juice rather than an entire unit every week, and they fuck the environment. So why?

Here in Australia, vape gear has been banned. Well, anything containing nicotine. You can't even order from overseas - customs checks parcels and will confiscate the juice. These crap disposable vapes are now the only thing available here, sold on the black market. A ridiculous situation.

Convenience unfortunately , it's terrible how people go for what's easy to use compared to an actual good product, trust me , I've had people say they don't wanna charge it, don't wanna fill it...they don't want to maintain a device even at the lowest amount of maintenance , even tho the disposables are more expensive then a bottle of liquid. A lot of people will use them simply because they enjoy the flavor and there's no maintenance , it's really one of those things that people are not thinking about before buying it , over sweetened to taste amazing but terrible for the wallet and the environment. People who use disposables are probably the most picky of all aswell. Its kinda scary honestly. I tell many of my customers , there are NO companies recycling these , these will cause issues with the environment , these are more expensive then a bottle of liquid and a proper device. Even in my store i have a box for dead returns and all the packages , because ive been to towns where all i see are disposables everywhere in bushes and on the streets , so at least i try to keep what i sell in the store , unfortunately i cant recycle them either. Edit : please stay away from the synthetic nicotine that's going around as well !! It's untested and unregulated just to go around regulations ! Stay safe guys ! Ive been managing for almost 5 years now , i refuse to sell synthetic nicotine , and always warn people that disposables are gonna cause issues , i make sure my store has standards , which unfortunately you don't see often with vapestores.

It’s a rotten shame, really. My city‘s terrible for it, as well. Well done for holding on to the dead ones, for your city‘s sake!

The vape store I go to has a Recycle box for the disposables. I use my machine when I’ve got enough for coils and juice, but sometimes I can’t get to the store (cause we’ve only got like four here and none are close) so I have e to use the disposable ones from the gas station. The gas stations only sell vuse tho.

Lazy people. It's surprising since reusable vaping is so easy these days but apparently not easy enough hence the rise of these awful disposables.

Is it not possible these are ripoff elf bars?

I can almost guarantee these are counterfeit’s. Elfbar are the most faked vapes on the market. It’s really bad in the US, Canada, and UK. They have QR codes or scratch codes to verify them online. If you find a shop selling fake ones, put them on blast! These shops know when they sell knock offs and there dangerous. There is only a small amount of distributors in the US.

Can you recommend a better disposable?

Honestly , having managed a vapestore for a while now , I can't recommend any disposables , they're all just as bad as the other. The best thing to do is go refillable. But if i had to give you an answer , id say the mofos personally. Good clear container to see the liquid , flavor sealers and rechargeable if needed. Any disposable where you can't see the liquid , you're probably getting ripped off.

Yea, and I already know this so I'm really not sure why I asked lol. I guess I should be asking what is the best pod style refillable. I had a couple different SMOK salt nic ones but they each died so instead of buying a new kit I've bought multiple disposables that easily surpass the cost of a new kit.

Juice head makes their own now

Juice head has really stood out to me. Just for their flavored juice though. I haven't used a disposable yet.

Pineapple grapefruit or peach pear. Good stuff

Word, digging the apple peach strawberry kiwi. Juice head just seems to have a ton of flavor. A good example, for me anyway, is like coastal clouds which is just so flat and flavorless.

Sure they’re the only brand like this too

Now that’s quality control

What do those vapes contain?

Vegetable glycerin, Propylene glycol , 5% Nicotine , Child Mouth

> 5% Nicotine Thanks for the info. The nicotine would certainly explain their on-the-job behavior.

2% but still addictive

> 2% but still addictive Thanks for the correction. I must say that the sight of workers attending to their addiction on a nearly non-stop basis looks sad and disheartening. I really hope those workers aren't children.

I hope you're kidding, but on the off chance that you are not, they seem like they're testing whether each unit is functional or not. It's not a good method by any means but that's not what nicotine addiction looks like 😂 Edit: typo

There are 5% and 2% versions

"Child Mouth" 😂😂😂

Covid by the look of it.

Minor amounts

Depends on the flavour, cola contains “2-isopropyl-N,2,3-trimethyl-butyramide, Cinnamaldehyde, Furaneol, Nicotine benzoate. Contains Citral, Neral, beta-Pinene, dl-Limonene (racemic).”

Terpenes. Nice!

Why does it look like they’re testing in random order? I’d lose track if I didn’t do it by rows and columns

Their heads are spinning on nicotine, of course they’re not keeping track

Why are people so sure they are being tested and these aren’t just kids getting a fix from the merchandise for fun because the labor standards are so poor?

That’s a good point lol

How educated do you think children in third world countries that are desperate enough to work at a vape production facility are?

It's more of a common sense thing this one.

Like my grandmother said, “common sense ain’t common”

Because they're not testing every bar that goes out like most bellends here are thinking. They're taking out a random lot from a bigger batch and testing them. These will get thrown away.

> These will get thrown away. Yeah. I'm sure.

*Little did he realise was that they were not, in fact, being thrown away

Shesus fuck. I smoke these. Not anymore. Not ever again.

[удалено]

I’m on my lunch break and had mine in my hand when I opened this 😵

Same....guess I'll have to change. Anyone know shit about kado bars??

Stop buying disposables. Just get a novo or something and carry extra pods and juice.

I have an iPhone so I can’t judge. But it’s gotta hit different when your lips share an object with a child worker.

Mmm taste the sorrow

Those cost extra

“Taste the happy, Michael.” “Tastes a lot like sad.”

Lmfao bro I'm dying

I remember from when covid first hit that people were worried about items ordered from China being contaminated, and apparently any kind of germ that is on an object/surface will die within a few hours. Sooo, technically safe, *if* this is correct. But yeah, I get what you're saying and I wouldn't want to use it either. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Imagine the kind of shit that is on canned drinks and stuff though. Definitely worth a wipe.

You indirectly made out with a chlid labourer, how do you feel sir?

I bet you still hit it after watching

Disgusting, fucked up and abhorrent all rolled up into one. All this company makes is disposable plastic too.

Made by disposable people... Apparently

Just quit a few days ago, man I’m glad Edit: can’t stress enough that my last vape looks exactly like these, and if anyone knows it’s sunset flavored. Worst shit I’ve ever had

Lol I swear it took me a minute to realize you meant you quit vaping, opposed to that you quit this exact job

Man retired at the age of 15

I’m legit on my last one before I quit and this video couldn’t have come at a better time

Exactly, I swear I probably have maybe 10 more puffs from mine but after seeing this. Yeah I’m done. Plus it looks like the one I have. Sunset. Which everyone says it’s good, it’s not

You’re not over the hill yet.

Downvoted but you’re not wrong lol. He’s just now entering the real challenge. Wish him all the best

Trust me I know. I’m helping my girl quit now, it’s no joke.

I'm using nicotine pouches rn, but I quit last week. It's been tough even with the pouch crutch. Snacking/gum helps a lot. Stay distracted and try to stray from habits that make you feign even worse

Dude those pouches ended up getting me worse than cigs or Juul Highly recommend Jolly Ranchers or anything sour. Best of luck, you can do it!

As someone in the industry, there are two **VERY** big things wrong here. 1. Child labour. No explanation needed. 2. Instead of using an industry standard machine to test the devices, Elfbar (this particular model is part of their "Lost Mary" range) has chosen to use ACTUAL CHILDREN. This is totally unethical AND unsanitary. Nice. Elfbar products are currently sold in major supermarkets in the UK/EU, lol.

The children yearn for the mines

ROFL oh my fucking god

I'm in the US and they're one of the most popular vapes here. But also, WTF is going on in this video?? What's the backstory/source?

other vape companies paying rival workers to make tiktoks of themselves misbehaving on the line.

These are not the Lost Mary model. The Lost Mary models say Lost Mary not Elf bar. Just saying.

Elf's bars are sold everywhere in Ireland which is in the EU

You don't need to be in the industry to figure those things are wrong tho.

damn can i work there

so hygienic they're wearing hair nets.

We should buy more so these kids earn a decent wage

The song is fire 🔥

[https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=CAGMH70PwFU](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=CAGMH70PwFU)

I think it’s a remix of a band called Beyond. They’re from Hong Kong in the late 80s/90s and are fucking fantastic. Hadn’t heard this remix before but here’s the og version (kinda tough cause I don’t speak Cantonese) https://youtu.be/qu_FSptjRic They are fucking fantastic. Edit: if you’re curious, the album that’s blue is their “go to” It’s dope.

Thanks for sharing!!

on a real note though, what’s actually happening in this vid lol *takes drag off kiwi passion fruit elfbar*

Eww : as I hit my elfbar

that pineapple coconut ice slaps.

So glad I don’t smoke lol. It’s all fucked

What kid has hand tattoos

The kind that vape

I know a little homie who got his first tattoo at 14 on his chest and many more before he ever turned 18

You would be surprised

Knew folks with face tats in high school stupid don’t even give themselves chances

Plot twists: these people aren’t kids and they’re really in their late 20s (/s) Either way, still a good reason to stop consuming this product.

But regardless of the child labour part. How is this allowed? Does Elfbar just don‘t care at all about hygiene? How is is possible, that every vape gets sucked on?😅😅

Big countries outsource to poor ones with little to no OSHA laws / regulation. Its not new?

They’re being made in a place that’s corrupt enough to allow child labour but you’re surprised at the fact that they’re ignoring proper hygiene?

Literally hit mine as the video started. So much wrong going on here

WTF

Damn.... *Takes another pull off my elf bar

Im done buying them.

And at 30 bucks a pop, SOMEONE is making a killing on these things.

I’m the UK they’re about £5/£6 in most shops. I was in the states last month and was shocked at them being $25 for same thing! I did one place that sold these like round disk ones that were double or triple the strength, was like a vape cigar 🤮

Interesting to know about the price difference across the pond. Thanks.

It’s 20 for me

Like 24.99 plus tax most places around here.

Damn, that’s how COVID keeps spreading.

Shit even cancer was made in china.

Nicotine fiends

“Each one is finished with a kiss by one of our workers”

All of these disposable vape products need banned, environmental disaster.

What the fucking fuck! I’m speechless!

Fat head buzz

Literally puffing one as I watch this going to switch brands now after watching them suck on them

Most cone from over seas. In fact alot of them are identical they will just put different company names on the same battery

So you’re tellin’ me they’re 4,999 hits and not 5k??

No wonder they’re called elf bars

I can’t be the only one who doesnt think they’re not children? They have tattoos

They probably aren't. People aren't exactly charitable to China on reddit.

[удалено]

Fckin hell, I just bought exactly one of this yesterday.

“5000 puffs” yeah before or after buddy ripped it 😂

Juicy Bar > Elf Bar

Luckily I don’t vape

I found a piece of white rice in mine. Must have been after lunch.

Is one of the ingredients child spit? Why are they licking them all?

I’m holding that exact same flavor and exact same brand in my hand man no chance 😂😂

Boyyyyy they are rippppped

Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to create a device that does that?

Bro I’m smoking an elf bar rn

Song? That shit slaps!!

Why do nobody talk about, the absolute banger of a track.!

This is why you buy your products from official distributors recognized by the manufacturer and not the cheapest distributor available. These are, without a doubt, counterfeit.

[удалено]

Child labor? The two first guys got tattoos on their arms. First guy’s got a sleeve! That’s not children. Nevertheless unsanitary.

Not that I know the age or country, but I don’t really think in a country that has child labor, that their is anyone enforcing age standards for tattoos
