How to spot a fake Elf Bar 20mg?
The main way to spot a fake Elf Bar 600 is the packaging and design of the device, and we are going to take you through all the details, so you know what you need to look out for.
Packaging
In September 2021, the Elf Bar 600 introduced new packaging that includes a laminated box, and the fake bars have standard cardboard. You will also notice that the Elf Bar 20mg and Elf Bar 50mg box has the logo on the top of the box and nothing on the bottom, whereas the fake version has logos on both the top and bottom.
Whilst this might not seem like a lot to go off, if you have a fake Elf Bar 600 package and a genuine Elf Bar 600 package, the inconsistencies are very noticeable. From the design to mis-sized logos and misplaced barcodes, knowing what the genuine package looks like will certainly help you to spot a fake.
Barcoding
A genuine Elf Bar 600 features a single EAN barcode on the side of the packaging, with the anti-counterfeit holographic sticker. This sticker is very important, and includes many small but noticeable features that you need to look out for including:
Holographic laser security thread
Anti-stripping knife
Bank note level counterfeiting pattern
Thick and thin counterfeiting patterns
Micro text
Whilst that might seem complicated and a lot to look out for, fake Elf Bar 20mg vapes don’t tend to even have a holographic sticker so that is a big red flag!
You can also scan the QR code which will take you straight to their website and their verify page, where you can input your device’s unique verification code to be checked. The genuine Elf Bar 600 really pulls out all of the stops to make sure that you are as safe as possible.
Device
The actual device is much harder to spot if you have accidentally purchased a fake Elf Bar 600. The design and colours match perfectly, so without the box and packaging you would never be able to tell. What you might notice when vaping is a poor battery life, weak flavours and leaking tanks – all of which are noticeable, but only when you start to vape. If you notice any of these red flags, stop vaping immediately as these devices have not been tested and are not up to regulation standards.
The Elf Bar website also has a handy guide for you to check out explaining how their anti-counterfeiting technology works:

Why should you be wary of fake Elf Bar 600 disposable vapes?
As a leading retailer of the genuine Elf Bar 600 range, it is worrying that fakes and clones are entering the market. Illegal counterfeit copies carry many dangers, including weak or dangerous batteries, leaking tanks and non-regulated liquid. The bad press and scare stories of fake Elf Bar 20mg vapes could see a reduction in the genuine bars and reduce the choice that consumers may have in the future. Whilst this is worrying, the main reason you want to make sure you stay away from fake bars is your health. This is the biggest risk of all, and we want to make sure you have the best vape experience possible without added worry. All the e-liquids sold in the UK and EU that contains nicotine must be approved for sale and follow tight regulations set by the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency). In 2016 when vaping really took off, the MHRA released a list of regulations that must be followed, as well as a list of flavouring that cannot be used due to health concerns. All e liquid manufacturers must submit a lab report and become approved before they can be sold to customers.
We are one of the only countries that follows such strict rules when it comes to vaping, and it means that we can enjoy it without having to worry about e-liquids that could be damaging to your health. If you are unintentionally using fake Elf Bar 50mg vapes, then you have no idea what has gone into that e liquid, or if the battery is compliant – which makes them very dangerous to use and carry around.
How to avoid fake Elf Bar 20mg disposable vape devices
Vaping is a huge market and only gaining in popularity and is now worth a lot of money, so it is no surprise that people are trying to take advantage.
