Customer Reviews
While public online forum discussions on the zero nicotine Elf Bar (now EBCREATE) are limited, there’s positive feedback from both Reddit users and verified customers:
- Reddit User: "Anyone know a reputable site I can order the Elf Bar with zero nic?" (Showing demand for non-nicotine products.)
- Verified EBCREATE Customer: "Only vape I use. These are good." (Highly satisfied.)
- Verified EBCREATE Customer: "Not great, a bit of a funny aftertaste, hoping it helps me quit nicotine." (Mixed feedback.)
- Verified EBCREATE Customer: "Same as the regular version. Can’t tell the difference." (Elf Bar has successfully replicated the flavor in the 0mg version.)
Despite the limited online conversation, it’s clear that EBCREATE’s non-nicotine flavors are well-received. Some users even prefer them, praising the cleaner and more flavorful experience without harsh nicotine.
BC5000 0% Nicotine Flavor Overview
EBCREATE has successfully replicated many of its popular nicotine flavors for the nicotine free line. The flavors are generally sweeter and less icy without nicotine, with a milder throat hit. Nicotine usually adds a sharpness to the hits and a distinct flavor, which requires MM&K (Menthol, Mint, or Koolada) masking agents. With Elf Bar’s 0% nicotine flavors, the fruity and candy notes take center stage. Our in-house testing team tried all 8 non-nicotine EBCREATE BC5000 flavors and compared them to the nicotine versions:
Strawberry Mango
The Zero version delivers a sweet blend of strawberry and mango. The absence of nicotine allows the tropical fruity flavor to shine through.
- Nic Version: Could benefit from more ice to balance the nicotine's harshness.
Rainbow Candy
This is one of the sweeter flavors. Without nicotine, the sugary notes stand out more, which might be too much for some users.
- Nic Version: Nicotine adds depth and balances the sweetness better than the non-nicotine version.
Strawberry Kiwi
Both versions offer an enjoyable mix of candied strawberry and kiwi, but the Zero emphasizes the fruitiness a bit more.
- Nic Version: Nicotine provides a bolder experience and more throat satisfaction, but the Zero holds its own.
Cranberry Grape
The zero version offers a unique flavor fusion with a mild menthol sensation. The grape is slightly more prevalent than the cranberry. It contains a medium amount of ice, making the grape and cranberry more noticeable in the Zero version.
- Nic Version: The nicotine version has a slightly icier finish, making it more suitable for those who enjoy iced disposable vapes.
Blue Razz Ice
The nic free Blue Razz Ice flavor is a standout, with bold berry flavors that aren’t overshadowed by nicotine. It provides a perfect balance of sweet and slightly tart, satisfying Elf Bar Blue Razz flavor enthusiasts.
- Nic Version: Requires more ice to mask the nicotine. The zero is more flavorful and less icy.
Peach Mango Watermelon
This rich and flavorful mix pops in the zero nicotine version, offering a fusion of vibrant strawberry, watermelon, and mango notes.
- Nic Version: The nicotine dulls the fruit flavors slightly.
Watermelon Ice
A juicy, fruity blend that leaves a lasting aftertaste. The non-nicotine version delivers pure, distinct, luscious fruit tastes.
- Nic Version: Nicotine flattens the sweetness, making the zero flavorfully superior, but with less of a throat hit.
Tropical Rainbow Blast
A sweet, tropical fruit mix with wild berries and pineapple undertones. The Zero version offers fruity, icy inhales.
- Nic Version: Nicotine overshadows some fruity notes, making the Zero taste richer.
Performance & Technology (8.5/10)
The EBCREATE Zero Nicotine BC5000 performs consistently well, with dual-mesh coil technology that enhances flavor and vapor output. The 650mAh rechargeable battery ensures you can get through the 5000 puffs after a few recharges, though the device doesn't include a charging cable. Users noted, and we confirmed, that the airflow remains smooth and rich until the juice runs out.
Key performance features:
- Dual-mesh coil: Ensures richer, more consistent flavor.
- Rechargeable battery: Offers around 5000 puffs across three charges.
- Compact and portable design: Easily fits in a pocket or purse for on-the-go use.
Customer Feedback on Performance:
One website reviewer from EBCREATE’s official store praised the performance and charging feature:
“Outstanding flavor. Smooth draw that is satisfying. The unit charges quickly and lasts a long time. I highly recommend this product”
Value (8/10)
Priced between $15 and $17, the EBCREATE Zero Nic BC5000 offers decent value for its performance and flavor output. With up to 5000 puffs per device, this disposable vape provides a comparable experience to its nicotine counterpart, but without the addictive chemical. The dollar value per puff aligns well with other premium disposables in the zero nicotine category, though prices vary depending on the retailer.
E-Liquid Cap Vs. Puffs
The EBCREATE BC5000 offers a 13ml e-juice capacity, which usually suggests a higher puff count. Verified buyer feedback and our in-house testers confirmed long-lasting enjoyment, matching disposables that claim to offer twice the puffs. This raises the question: Are other companies inflating their numbers?
Cost per puff: Ranges from $3 to $3.40 per 1000 puffs, depending on where you purchase. However, e-liquid capacity is a better indicator of total puffs than what’s advertised on the package.
Given its solid performance and flavors, EB CREATE BC5000 without nicotine is worth the price for those seeking a non-nicotine e-cigarette alternative.
Ingredients (6/10)
Like most disposables in this category, the EBCREATE Zero Nicotine BC5000 uses standard industry ingredients, including Propylene Glycol (PG), Vegetable Glycerin (VG), and Natural & Artificial Flavors. While PG delivers the"throat hit" and VG provides larger vapor clouds, the ingredients could benefit from more transparency. There are no third-party lab tests available to verify the purity, a downside for users who prioritize clean vaping products.
Key Elf Bar Nic-Free Ingredients:
- Propylene Glycol (PG) – Provides the throat hit, though linked to potential health risks when inhaled.
- Vegetable Glycerin (VG) – Responsible for larger vapor clouds and smoother hits.
- Natural & Artificial Flavors – While the flavors are vibrant, transparency about their composition is limited.
About EBCREATE (Formerly Elf Bar)
EBCREATE, formerly known as Elf Bar, recently rebranded in the U.S. after a trademark lawsuit led them to change their name from Elf Bar to EBDESIGN, and most recently, EBCREATE. The company is well-known for its BC5000 series, which has faced counterfeiting issues. To address this, they have implemented Elf Bar authentication technology, allowing users to verify whether their device is genuine. This is part of the brand's commitment to providing high-quality, trustworthy products in a market rife with fakes.
Their transition to EBCREATE hasn't impacted the flavor or quality of their products, but it's an important shift for those familiar with the original Elf Bar branding. The name change and the introduction of authentication measures underline the company’s efforts to maintain its reputation and combat counterfeit products.
Final Thoughts: Worth the Switch?
EBCREATE (formerly Elf Bar) succeeded in translating its popular flavors into zero nicotine versions. These disposables offer a sweeter and richer experience than their nicotine counterparts, perfect for those seeking a non-addictive alternative. While some vapers may miss the throat hit and complexity nicotine adds, these Zero Nic products are among the best options for a smoother, flavorful vaping experience.
