How Many Puffs in a Crystal Bar Vape?
The Crystal Bar is one of the most popular disposable vapes in the UK right now, known for its vibrant flavours and stylish design. But how long does one actually last?
The answer: up to 600 puffs per device.
Is That a Hard Limit?
Not exactly. The “600 puffs” is an estimate based on average use—meaning short to medium draws at regular intervals. In real life, the total puff count can vary depending on how you vape.
Longer, deeper inhales will burn through the e-liquid faster, which reduces the number of puffs you’ll get. Shorter, quicker puffs will get you closer to that 600-mark.
What’s Inside the Crystal Bar?
Crystal Bars are pre-filled with 2ml of e-liquid, which is the legal limit for disposable vapes in the UK. They also contain 20mg of nicotine salt, offering a smooth throat hit and fast nicotine absorption. The built-in battery is non-rechargeable and designed to last just long enough to finish the liquid.
New Crystal Bar Products & Puff Count Comparison
Crystal Bar, known for its popular 600-puff disposables, has been adapting to changes in the market, especially with the looming UK disposable vape ban. Recently, they’ve released newer high-capacity devices designed to compete with offerings from brands like Elf Bar and Lost Mary.
Latest Crystal Bar Devices
One of the most talked-about new releases is the Crystal Bar Plus, which delivers 2400 to 3500 puffs depending on the specific model and usage pattern. Unlike the original 600-puff devices, these come with rechargeable batteries and prefilled pods, a setup that aligns with the upcoming UK regulations aimed at curbing waste from single-use vapes.
Another development is the Crystal Pro 4 in 1 kit, making it a serious contender in the high-capacity disposable segment. It typically features mesh coils for better flavor and larger e-liquid capacity (up to 10ml in non-TPD-regulated markets, less in the UK due to legal limits).
How They Compare
Let’s look at how the new Crystal Bar offerings stack up against the competition:
Device | Brand | Approx. Puff Count | Rechargeable | Pod/Refillable? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Crystal Bar Plus | Crystal Bar | 2400–3500 | Yes | Prefilled pods |
Crystal Pro Max | Crystal Bar | 4000–4500 | Yes | No |
AF5000 | Elf Bar | 5000 | Yes | Prefilled pod |
BM6000 | Lost Mary | 6000 | Yes | Prefilled pod |
The Elf Bar AF5000 has made headlines with its e-liquid refill system combined with a rechargeable battery, giving users up to 5000 puffs while staying within TPD limits by only shipping with 2ml of liquid at a time (users top up from an included bottle). The Lost Mary BM6000 follows a similar model, offering 6000 puffs with an internal refillable tank system and a USB-C rechargeable battery.
The UK Disposable Vape Ban: What It Means
The UK government has confirmed plans to ban single-use disposable vapes, targeting their impact on youth vaping and the environment. This means the classic 600-puff disposables, like the original Crystal Bar, Elf Bar 600, and Lost Mary BM600, will likely disappear from shelves by early 2025.
Once the ban kicks in, the only viable options will be rechargeable and refillable devices, either with replaceable pods, built-in refill systems, or hybrid disposable-rechargeable models. As a result, the industry is shifting fast:
Expect to see more devices with 4000–6000 puff capacity.
Brands will focus on modular and refillable designs to stay compliant.
The days of the grab-and-go 600-puff vape are numbered in the UK.
Final Word
If you're using a Crystal Bar, expect around 600 puffs—but how long that lasts depends on your vaping style. It's a solid, simple option for casual vapers or those transitioning from cigarettes, offering consistent performance and flavour in a compact design.
