Elf Bar BC5000 Disposable Review: Don't Miss Their Best Flavors

Product intro and specs Size, look, and feel The Elf Bar BC5000 is a compact and charming little device. It`s derivative of the old ELEAF iCare body with a flattened and squared form factor. It`s made of PCTG plastic with contrasting textures of the glossy parts at the top (mouthpiece) and bottom (recharge section) with the matte finish around the main body. The colorways look appealing to the eye and are suggestive of the flavors. Although I`m not a fan of the high-key colors for vapes, they`re still tastefully executed. The device has a small footprint despite housing so much eliquid. It`s only 79 mm x 41 mm x 19 mm. Considering the [mega" disposables shaped like mechanical mods that hold less juice than these, I`d say Elf Bar hit a home run with the capacity and size of these devices. Getting started The Elf Bar BC5000 only requires removing the product from its packaging to get started. Simply puff on the device when you`re ready. There`s no adjustable airflow or any other aspects of the device that need fiddling. It`s as simple as it gets. Once the device stops hitting, the battery is depleted and needs a charge via the Type-C charge port located on the bottom of the device. How does it hit? The Elf Bar BC5000 has a quality MTL draw. It hits quietly with only a slight crackle and hiss from the airflow. The throat hit is highly dependent on the nicotine level you choose, increasing with the nicotine strength. Regardless, across the spectrum of flavors, the overall hit is consistent. The dual coil in the Elf Bar BC5000 performs at a high level for a disposable. And the wicking keeps up with chain vaping, not once giving me a bad hit. Even when the juice starts to deplete, the taste lessens enough to tell you it`s almost out, instead of giving you a surprise fried hit. Are the flavors any good? The range is vast. Fruits, candy, drinks and cocktails, mint and icy flavors, and even a tobacco. Most are fruit flavor mash-ups, but there are some singular-note flavors as well. Technically, only one dessert (strawberry cream). The majority of the flavors, like in most disposables, have a cooling sensation or are straight-up icy flavors. The tobacco flavor has no cooling sensation. I`ve tried close to half of their flavors so far. There were only a couple I didn`t like as much as the others, but even those ones I still vaped until empty. These are the best Elf Bar flavors I tried. What are the best Elf Bar flavors? While this is highly subjective, I think the best Elf Bar flavors are their drinks and cocktails, and especially their tropical flavors. Their pina colada and pineapple flavors are top-notch. Juicy, bright, and flavorful. In general, there`s a lot of character to these flavors. Here`s my top 5 out of the flavors that I`ve tried.

China`s Vape Industry: Consumption Tax to be Imposed from November 1

China`s vape industry has been hit with another round of legislation. The new measures build upon a decision to move the industry under the purview of the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration and regulate e-cigarettes/vape products as tobacco products, which will put significant restraints on the industry catering to the domestic market. We discuss the finalized regulatory measures below, implemented from May 1, 2022. Technical standards approved by China`s market took effect on October 1, 2022. In addition, e-cigarettes will be subject to a consumption tax from November 1, 2022. October 25, 2022 – E-cigarettes will be subject to a consumption tax from November 1, 2022. China`s Ministry of Finance, General Administration of Customs, and State Tax Administration released the Annoucement on the collection of Consumption Tax on Electronic Cigarettes , which states that e-cigarette products will be subject to consumption tax and be added as a sub-item under the tobacco tax item list. From November 1, 2022, e-cigarettes will be subject to an ad valorem tax. The rate for the production and import of e-cigarettes will be 36 percent while the rate for wholesale will be 11 percent. Meanwhile, the announcement clarified that exports of e-cigarettes are eligible for the tax refund and exemption policy, signaling that China will still encourage the export of e-cigarettes. September 28 to 30, 2022 – China`s State Tobacco Monopoly Administration (STMA), the country`s top regulator of tobacco products, issued a notice on matters related to strengthening the regulation of e-cigarettes. The notice stressed the need for e-cigarette manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and other entities involved in the production or distribution of e-cigarettes to comply with new regulations released in late 2021 and early 2022. It included details of a dispute mechanism for companies that disagree with decisions on licensing made by the STMA during the transition period for companies to shift their business models to comply with regulations. In addition, on September 30, 2022, the STMA released two draft notices on limits for the number of e-cigarette products that can be carried or mailed across borders. The draft notices are open to public comment until October 30, 2022. April 25, 2022 – the STMA released a new set of trial policy measures for regulating the e-cigarette industry, titled Several Policies and Measures on Promoting the legalization and Standardization of the Electronic Cigarette Industry(Trial). (the [trial policy measures"). The trial policy measures build upon existing e-cigarette rules and regulations to standardize and regulate the development of the industry in order [to put the development of the e-cigarette industry on the track toward legalization and standardization". The new trial policy measures provide clarity on how the STMA intends to supervise and regulate the industry following the decision to regulate e-cigarettes as tobacco products and place them under the purview of the tobacco regulator. Jump to our updates on the latest trial policy measures here [anchor link]. April 8, 2022 – the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) approved the [Electronic Cigarette" Mandatory National Standards, numbered GB 41700-2022, which among other requirements ban the sale of vapes of any flavor other than tobacco. The standards take effect from October 1, 2022, meaning that some flavored vape products can be sold in China up until this date, which is beyond the initial date of May 1 stipulated in the latest administrative measures regulating the market. The document also sets a wide range of other technical standards, including permitted ingredients and additives, nicotine levels, testing and safety standards, and accreditation. March 11, 2022 – the STMA, the country`s top regulator of tobacco products, released the finalized version of the Administrative Measures for E-Cigarettes, which lays out new regulations for the production, marketing, and sales of e-cigarettes in China. The latest version of the measures is an amendment to a previous draft that was released for public opinion in December 2021. Several provisions have been amended and new regulations added in the latest version. Among other new regulations, the measures now prohibit the sale of flavored e-cigarettes, a significant blow to the industry. The measures build upon a decision in 2021 to move the industry under the purview of the STMA and regulate e-cigarettes as a tobacco product. The measures will go into effect on May 1, 2022. Regulating China`s vape industry On November 26, 2021, China`s State Council announced it had amended the Regulations for the Implementation of the Tobacco Monopoly Law of China to include e-cigarettes and related products, stipulating that they are subject to the same regulations as tobacco products. This means vapes will now be subject to the same rules for licensing, production, sales, import/export, and taxation, among other rules, as traditional tobacco products. Then on December 2, 2021, China`s State Tobacco Monopoly Administration (STMA) released a draft of the Administrative Measures for E-Cigarettes (the `administrative measures`)`), a new set of administrative measures for governing the emerging China vape industry. These measures were later amended, and a final version was released on March 11, 2022. The administrative measures came into effect on May 1, 2022. However, as the [Electronic Cigarette" Mandatory National Standards [Standards number GB 41700-2022] (the `national e-cigarette standards") – that were released shortly after – only came into effect on October 1, 2022, a transition period for companies to shift their business models to comply with the regulations was implemented from May 1 to September 30, 2022. The administrative measures were based on the following Chinese laws governing the tobacco industries and the protection of minors: The Tobacco Monopoly Law of the People`s Republic of China, the Law of the People`s Republic of China on the Protection of Minors, and the Regulations for the Implementation of the Tobacco Monopoly Law of the People`s Republic of China. The administrative measures stipulate regulations for the production, sale, marketing, and import and export of e-cigarette products and nicotine for e-cigarettes. Perhaps one of the most significant rulings is the requirement for companies to process all transactions through an `e-cigarette transaction platfrom`, overseen by the STMA. Overview of China`s vape industry The China vape or e-cigarette industry has exploded in growth over the past couple of years, with early movers benefiting from unfettered access to the largest population of smokers in the world. The industry also has massive growth potential. According to a report from Chinese data analysis firm iiMedia Research, the penetration rate of e-cigarettes reached just 1.5 percent in 2021. This report notes that this is far behind countries such as the U.S., the U.K., and Japan, all of which have penetration rates above 30 percent. There is therefore significant room for expansion if companies are able to convince more of China`s 300 million or more smokers to wean off traditional tobacco. Regulations will now be the biggest hindrance to the industry`s potential. Until recently, e-cigarettes were not regulated as a tobacco product. Companies instead operated in a legal grey area that ultimately enabled it to grow into an RMB 8.3 billion (US$1.3 billion) industry. This decision, although perhaps not welcomed by the industry, will not come as a surprise; the government began deliberating it back in March 2021, and the pressure on lawmakers to sign off on the decision will only have become more acute as other laws aimed at enhancing the welfare of minors were released last summer. The issue of the protection of minors was likely also behind the decision at the end of 2019 to ban the online sale and advertising of e-cigarettes, as concerns rose over how accessible the youthfully marketed product was to minors. A look at China`s e-cigarette regulations The administrative measures are applicable to companies that engage in the production and operation of electronic cigarettes within China and cover all vape products, including vape cartridges, vape sets, and products sold as a combination of cartridges and sets. Heated tobacco products will be regulated as traditional cigarettes and not as e-cigarettes. Regulations for producers and manufacturers Under the administrative measures, local tobacco monopoly administrative departments are responsible for the monitoring and management of e-cigarettes in their jurisdiction. The local tobacco administrative departments are required to organize professional institutions to conduct technical review of e-cigarette products based on application materials, such as inspection and testing reports. They must also conduct regular and ad-hoc inspections of companies and individuals with licenses to sell vape products. License and registration Companies must receive approval and obtain a license from the tobacco monopoly administrative department of the State Council before they can establish business to manufacture e-cigarettes. The license must then be ratified and registered by the market supervision and management department. To be eligible for a production license, companies must meet the below criteria: Have an appropriate amount of funding for the production of e-cigarettes; Have the necessary technology, and equipment required for the production of e-cigarettes; Comply with the national e-cigarette industry policy requirements; and Other criteria stipulated by the STMA. Manufacturers must reapply for a license if their scope of business changes and obtain approval from the STMA if they intend to expand production capacity. The tobacco products used by manufacturers to produce e-cigarette products and nicotine must be purchased from a...

ELFBAR BC5000 Disposable Review: Don't Miss Their Best Flavors

The ELFBAR BC5000 is a small box-style disposable vape renowned for its capacity, flavor performance-and it`s wide-ranging menu of flavors. Many regard Elf Bar as a brand to have some of the best flavors on the market. There are more than 45 flavors to choose from with the BC5000, also in options for 5%, 3%, and zero nicotine. But despite its small size, the ELFBAR BC5000 holds a whopping 13 mL and up to 5000 puffs. It runs on a 650 mAh rechargeable battery that powers a high-performance dual-coil. Does the ELFBAR actually have 5000 puffs? That`s hard to say, but there sure seems to be a legit 13 mL of ejuice in the little device. So however many puffs it takes to consume it all, it`s fairly high. Should you get an ELFBAR BC5000? And what are the best Elf Bar flavors? Keep reading to find out, or jump to the section you want to learn more. Size, look, and feel The ELFBAR BC5000 is a compact and charming little device. It`s derivative of the old ELEAF iCare body with a flattened and squared form factor. It`s made of PCTG plastic with contrasting textures of the glossy parts at the top (mouthpiece) and bottom (recharge section) with the matte finish around the main body. The color ways look appealing to the eye and are suggestive of the flavors. Although I`m not a fan of the high-key colors for vapes, they`re still tastefully executed. The device has a small footprint despite housing so much e-liquid. It`s only 79 mm x 41 mm x 19 mm. Considering the big [mega" disposables shaped like mechanical mods that hold less juice than these, I`d say ELFBAR hit a homerun with the capacity and size of these devices. Getting started The ELFBAR BC5000 only requires removing the product from its packaging to get started. Simply puff on the device when you`re ready. There`s no adjustable airflow or any other aspects of the device that need fiddling. It`s as simple as it gets. Once the device stops hitting, the battery is depleted and needs a charge via the Type-c charge port located on the bottom of the device. How does it hit? The ELFBAR BC5000 has a quality MTL draw. It hits quietly with only a slight crackle and hiss from the airflow. The throat hit is highly dependent on the nicotine level you choose, increasing with the nicotine strength. Regardless, across the spectrum of flavors, the overall hit is consistent. The dual coil in the ELFBAR BC5000 performs at a high level of vaping for a disposable. And the wicking keeps up with chain vaping, not once giving me a bad hit. Even when the juice starts to deplete, the taste lessens enough to tell you it`s almost out, instead of a fried hit. Are the flavors any good? Yes, the flavors are quite good. Easily some of the best flavors in a disposable. The range is vast. Fruits, candy, drinks and cocktails, mint and icy flavors, and even a tobacco. Most are fruit flavor mash-ups, but there are some singular-note flavors as well. Technically, only one dessert (strawberry cream). The majority of the flavors, like most disposables, have a cooling sensation or are straight up icy flavors. The tobacco flavor has no cooling sensation. I`ve tried close to half of their flavors so far. There were only a couple I didn`t like as much as the others, but even those ones I still vaped until empty. These are the best Elf Bar flavors I tried. What are the best Elf Bar flavors? While this is highly subjective, I think the best Elf Bar flavors are their drinks and cocktails, and especially their tropical flavors. Their pina colada and pineapple flavors are top notch. Juicy, bright, and flavorful. In general, there`s a lot of character to these flavors. Here`s my top 5 flavors that I`ve tried. Pina colada: An incredible tropical cocktail flavor that keeps you coming back for more. The pineapple, cream, and coconut are all identifiable and harmonious. My favorite. Moderate cooling sensation. Strawberry pina colada: Only slightly similar to the pina colada, though incredibly good on its own. It`s a blend that has strawberry as the dominant flavor with the other elements that make it more into a smoothie cocktail. Strawberry cream: A sweet and juicy strawberry with a velvety smoothness of cream. Light cooling. Mango peach: Succulent, juicy, sweet, and refreshing. A perfect blend of fruity flavors with enough cooling sensation to amplify the flavors without turning into ice. Really good. Watermelon cantaloupe honeydew: Sweet, tangy, and a little tart. Minimal cooling. This is a well-balanced melon juice with loads of flavor. It`s hard to pick out the individual melons, but it`s fun trying. The following flavors were close behind my top 5: · Kiwi passionfruit guava · Peach ice · Watermelon ice · Honeydew pineapple orange · Strazz How long do they last? 5000 puffs? I didn`t count them, but these little disposables have lasted longer than any other disposable I`ve used (in terms of flavor performance). It`s amazing how much usage you can get out of these. Of course, with a 650 mAh battery, you are going to have to charge them a few times before the liquid is totally used up. If you have a moderate consumption, you could conceivably get a whole day out of one charge. But heavy usage will likely fall shy of a full day. The Type-c recharge takes about an hour-which is standard with disposables, though still a long charge. And of note, there`s no pass-thru charging with these. That part was a bit of a bummer for me. Pros / Cons · Compact size · Flavorful · Over 45 flavors to choose from · Long-lasting performance · Consistent flavor · 13 mL juice capacity · Quality MTL draw · Rechargeable · No pass-thru charging Verdict Besides the one con of no pass-thru charging, I have no other negative remarks about the ELFBAR BC5000. It`s one helluva disposable! The BC5000 has a lot going for it. It`s flavorful, consistent, compact, rechargeable, and it has a long list of flavor options and even three nicotine strengths. This is one of the easiest recommendations I`ve made in a while. If you`re in the market for a disposable, I`m confident that you will find an ELFBAR BC5000 that you`ll enjoy. As for which flavor to choose, that`s not so easy to say when there are 45 to choose from. Highly recommended.

China officially bans fruit flavorings in e-cigarettes

China has joined a handful of countries in banning flavored vapes to combat underage use of nicotine. Starting October 1, e-cigarette companies are only allowed to sell tobacco-flavored vapes in the country, an effort by the government to [standardize" the production, sales and consumption of the novel tobacco product. China`s e-cigarette makers had a short-lived boom before regulators began reining in the lucrative industry around three years ago. First, it was a ban in the online sales of vapes. Then in May this year, a set of comprehensive regulations went into force, effectively subjecting e-cigarettes to the purview of China`s tobacco authorities. The ban is long in coming and investors anticipated the change. Relx, which as of 2020 commanded 70% of China`s pod vape market, has lost over 95% of its stock value since its debut on NYSE in January 2021. Shares of Smoore, a major manufacturer of vaping devices based out of Relx`s home city of Shenzhen, are down 90% since hitting an all-time high in January 2021. A ban on flavored vapes is like a death knell to the vaping industry. Tobacco-flavored products accounted for only an insignificant amount of e-cigarette sales, according to a survey. conducted by Landong, a Chinese media publication focused on the vaping industry. Other major measures from the regulations include a tobacco tax on e-cigarette sales and stringent new requirements on how a vape is made, from its battery, ceramic coil and nicotine content to fragrance. Meeting all these criteria could cost a fortune, which means the shoddy, scruffy type of vape sellers that were crowding the market before will struggle to survive. Well-funded Chinese vaping startups such as Relx and Myst have long begun international expansion to diversify their revenue streams. In 2020, Relx kickstarted the costly and time-consuming ordeal of obtaining FDA approval in the U.S. Myst, which was co-founded by a former Juul scientist, had entered Malaysia, Russia, Canada and the United Kingdom as of May last year. China`s clampdown on vaping flavors stems from the same concern shared by other jurisdictions: health risks for young people. In a notice from 2019, the country`s tobacco authority had this to say: [The current electronic cigarette market in China is chaos. The quality of products varies substantially, and a large number of them has safety issues around unsafe additives, leaky e-juice, and shoddy battery. In particular, some companies are casually adding addictives to change the flavor and color of e-cigarettes to make them more appealing, but this is causing severe damage to underage users` mental and physical health." In 2019, the U.S. government was getting ready for a policy. to ban flavored e-cigarette products. In June, European Union lawmakers are proposing yo ban flavored heated tobacco products. As the world`s largest producer of vaping devices, China`s e-cigarette factories will likely see their demand shrink as regulators around the world continue their battle with the vaping industry.
