Can You Refill the Elf Bar AF5000?

The Elf Bar AF5000 is one of the newest models in the Elf Bar lineup, marketed as a longer-lasting and more sustainable alternative to traditional disposables. But many users ask the same thing: can you refill it?

The answer is a little nuanced—so let’s explain how the system works.

Is the Elf Bar AF5000 Refillable?

Not in the traditional sense.
You cannot manually refill the Elf Bar AF5000 with your own e-liquid. It does not have an open tank or fill port like a typical refillable vape or pod system.

However, it does use an internal refill container that holds 5ml of pre-filled e-liquid. This reservoir automatically feeds the 2ml tank inside the device, keeping it compliant with UK vape laws (which limit tanks to 2ml max).

So while you’re getting up to 5000 puffs, you're not actually refilling the tank yourself—the device does it for you using its built-in supply.

Can You Hack or Top Up the Container?

Technically, some users have tried to force-refill the AF5000 once the 5ml tank is empty, but this is not recommended. The device isn’t designed to be opened or refilled manually, and doing so can:

• Damage the coil or battery

• Cause leaks or poor performance

• Void any warranty or safety standards

Also, any modification could violate UK regulations around closed-system vaping products.

What to Do When It’s Empty

Once the e-liquid inside the AF5000’s 5ml refill container is used up, the device is finished. You’ll need to dispose of it properly—preferably at a vape recycling point or designated battery drop-off—and replace it with a new one.

Final Word

You cannot refill the Elf Bar AF5000 with your own e-liquid. It’s a semi-disposable device that uses a pre-filled internal container to extend its lifespan, offering more value than standard disposables—but once the liquid runs out, the device is done.

It’s a smart middle ground for those who want longer use without the full maintenance of a refillable vape.
