As a well-known electronic cigarette retailer in their state, when asked about the top brands in the American market, both interviewees answered "ELFBAR.


Noel stated that since December last year, they have decreased the frequency of purchasing other disposable e-cigarettes because that was when ELFBAR began to dominate the US market.


Following this, 2FIRSTS questioned ELFBAR regarding their suspension in the UK due to exceeding the allowable limits of nicotine in their e-liquids. Noel stated that this incident does not affect ELFBAR's dominant position in the United States.


Noel continued to explain, "So far, what we have seen is that ELFBAR has been complying with regulations. In fact, the majority of companies in the United States are compliant, at least 95% of them.

Dave is the procurement manager for Demand Vape in Buffalo, New York. According to him, the top-selling product last year was the ELFBAR PC 5000 and the biggest state-level market for Demand is Ohio. However, a flavor ban will affect future disposable sales.


According to Dave, in the long run, "disposable e-cigarettes will continue to grow and compete strongly against the four major tobacco giants because you will not find another product that is so easy to use, especially for Americans who tend to favor simplicity.
