Product | Following the discontinuation of the AF5000, ELFBAR launches compliant alternative AF5500 in the UK.
ELFBAR has launched the AF5500 in the UK, featuring a 12ml e-liquid capacity. Both its appearance and naming are similar to the popular "2+10" product, the AF5000, which was previously a bestseller in the region. The AF5000 has been removed from the market due to the disposable vape ban, and the AF5500 is likely to be its compliant alternative.

Following the implementation of the UK's disposable vape ban in June of this year, 2Firsts observed that the ELFBAR AF5000—one of the "2+10" products that was a bestseller in the region—was taken down from many major e-commerce platforms or marked as discontinued. At the same time, the official ELFBAR UK website indicated that a replacement pod version of the AF5000 was set to be launched.

Firms note costly research remain
