Elf Bar Nicotine Levels & Comparison to a Cigarette

How much nicotine is in an Elf Bar? Nicotine strengths

The nicotine strength of your Elf Bar will depend on what country you purchase yours in. If you are in the UK or EU, Elf Bars come in the following nicotine strengths: 0% (0 mg/mL), 1% (10 mg/mL), 2% (20 mg/mL). If you are in the US, Elf Bars come in the following nicotine strengths: 0% (0 mg/mL), 3% (30 mg/mL), 5% (50 mg/mL). If you live outside of the EU, then in most cases you will be able to purchase the same nicotine strengths as found in the US. The UK and EU have a maximum of only 20 mg/mL because the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) limits them to that amount.

How do Elf Bars compare to cigarettes?

All Elf Bars are e-cigarettes, otherwise referred to as vapes. Vapes are designed to be reduced-harm alternatives to cigarettes, and it’s important to weigh vaping versus smoking because the vast majority of vapers are smokers or ex-smokers. Therefore, asking how many cigarettes are in an Elf Bar is something that cannot be answered directly, as it would be like comparing apples to oranges. Public Health England has been unequivocal in its findings: the respected British agency says “vaping is at least 95 percent safer than smoking” and that vapes “are significantly less harmful to health than tobacco and have the potential to help smokers quit smoking.” What people comparing Elf Bars to cigarettes are really asking is whether the nicotine in one is equivalent to the other.

Nicotine in a cigarette compared to Elf Bars

An Elf Bar 600 being incorrectly compared to 48 to 50 cigarettes by several large online media outlets. According to testing done at Penn State University, the median nicotine content of all the cigarette brands they tested was 10.2 mg per cigarette. Newport cigarettes had the most nicotine of any American brand tested, at 13.4 mg per cigarette. Therefore, an average pack of cigarettes contains 204 mg of nicotine (20 cigarettes X 10.2 mg). An Elf Bar in the UK can have up to 2% nicotine, equating to 20 mg/mL. Given an Elf Bar 600 (the most popular model sold in the UK and Europe) has 2 mL of e-juice, the total nicotine content equals 40 mg per Elf Bar (20 mg/mL x 2 mL). Without considering nicotine absorption rates across both smoking and vaping, one Elf Bar 600 is the equivalent of around four cigarettes in terms of net nicotine content. Cigarettes are set on fire, and the smoke contains a deadly brew of carcinogens and lung-damaging constituents. The vapor from an Elf Bar (or any e-cigarette) contains just a few concerning chemicals in tiny amounts. Alternatively, 4,000 chemicals, have been identified in the tobacco smoke of a cigarette. Of the 4000 chemicals, more than 70 harmful chemicals are known to cause, initiate or promote cancer.
