Amid the constant appearance of a new disposable vape on the market, the Elf Bar BC5000 Ultra defined itself as a noteworthy addition with multiple changes from the previous model, the BC5000. This blog review goes into the details of the new Ultra and the new flavors, as well as its performance as compared to the BC5000 and whether it is worth the extra money to upgrade.
Upgraded Design and Build Quality
As we have looked at above, the Elf Bar BC5000 Ultra has seen a number of changes, and one that may be most apparent is a change in its looks. Despite being almost the same size as the BC5000, the Ultra boasts of a more robust matted metal shell. The case has been reinforced for strength, and all its sections are encased in metal giving it a full-body metal treatment. The BC5000, however, has a plastic bottom that is rigid enough but may shed its cover whenever dropped, showing the components inside.
It holds a new metal exterior shell, much like a protective cup, and surrounds the device everywhere but the top which retains the glued plastic feel of the BC5000. For those who are more likely to drop their vapes the Ultra’s build makes this more reassuring.
Innovative QUAQ Mesh Coil Technology
The Ultra’s core performance features range around its newly developed QUAQ mesh coil technology. In general this technology gives a boost in terms of flavor, consistency and vapor compared to its predecessor the BC5000. The mesh coil delivers more puffs while enhancing the flavor which is perfectly circulated from the first puff to the last. This is particularly useful for vapers who would prefer to have a consistent quality of vaporizing taste without any compromise on the kind of flavor that is produced in its successive uses.
Easy to Carry, Stylish to Hold
In size and design, the Ultra and BC5000 are tiny that makes them convenient vaping tools when on the move. With the details of 88.9mm in height, 48.26mm in width, 29.46mm in thickness and with an oval drip tip measuring 19.05mm in length these devices could easily fit in hand or even the pocket. Still, the Ultra offers a chic metallic design, unlike the rather inexpensive look of BC5000 with their plastic two-toned pastel jacket shape.
Charging and Airflow Adjustments
Ultra retains the Type-C charging port at the bottom as seen on BC5000 and the charging light is relocated alongside the USB port for monitoring. Charging time is approximately 1.5 hours, with a 650mAh battery capability and comes with up to 5000 puffs.
The lower part of this device contains three openings that allow airflow in both devices. However, the cutouts on the Ultra may look a tad wider but for all intents and purposes, the airflow is nearly identical between the two. Nevertheless, it is the case with the Ultra that has upgraded coils which make the production of the vapor much higher for the best esatisfying draw.
Stress Test: Performance Under Pressure
Durability and performance under stress were tested in an endeavor done with both the BC5000 and the Ultra. Physically, the BC5000, which is made out of plastic, survived Cairo’s dusty corridors after several tests that involved dropping the unit from shoulder height and suffered only from minor scratches. I found that after strike-in, the device was operational even after several strikes. Nevertheless, the plastic bottom separates slightly from the container but it can be clipped back in place if necessary.
The other version called the Ultra with its metal housing fared even better. They received up to 20 drops with no major impacts that would point towards how strong it is. Two products were also subjected to the general tests for heating and flavor hold in regards to rapid, intense drawing and puffing. Well, I believe the BC5000 got outcompeted here, having lower limits to the vapor output and the air intake, while the Ultra rode these heavy hits, providing thick, great tasting hits even to the maximum remote hookah.
Flavor Review: Elf Bar BC5000 Ultra Flavors
Elf Bar is famous for various and courageous taste profiles, and the BC5000 Ultra is even more versatile. Here’s a rundown of some of the top flavors:
Kiwi Dragon Fruit Berry:
This is a relative blend of natural kiwi flavor with slightly tangy dragon fruit taste and a minty aftertaste. The Ultra does an impressive job of isolating these flavors, and rendering each one, as a required taste.
Tropical Rainbow Blast:
An ice blend of blueberries, pineapples, papaya and mango. Although the taste can hardly be described as tasteful or better still palatable for most users, the habitual takers of tropical fruits will find it exquisite in terms of the different flavors that come with it.
Strawberry Mango:
One of the strongest tasting yogurt flavors thus consisting of fresh juicy strawberries flavored with ripe mangoes and gently touched by an icy sensation. Lemon berries blast taste of fruity flavoring and it is an all day vape with right balance of sweetness.
Blue Cotton Candy:
A candy that has the flavor of a sweet and fluffy merchandise like the blueberry cotton candy. It’s one of those traditional tastes that remind you of summer fairs, but have none of the guilty connotations of junk food.
Orange Soda:
Perhaps one of the finest oranges available, this vape comes across as a fizzy orange soda one would expect to have lots of energy and satisfaction.
Blue Razz Ice:
Okay, the berry taste was really nice and sweet but the ice, just a perfect one for it. It’s a nice balanced vape for one who wants that fruit taste but with the cooler feeling.
Mint:
Ultra Mint has a flavor of gum with hints of sweetness, spiciness and coolness with the feeling of an ice. I had to have it side by side with other mint-flavored disposables; it has that perfect taste of mint without the hideous aftertaste.
Raspberry Watermelon:
Both fruits are bright in the Ultra, especially the raspberry and watermelon flavors, which also benefit from the new mesh coil in the device.
Strawberry Watermelon Bubble Gum:
Flavor – a candied fruit with puffed bubblegum at the head of the base flavor and slight hints of the fruit used in it. This makes it ideal for the end user who enjoys taking sweets but might not suit the one who wants to taste more complex tastes.
Tobacco: Ultra Tobacco:
Like many of the disposable vapes, Ultra Tobacco has a designer tobacco type of flavor, which is well balanced, rich and smooth and has no ashly finish as is usually associated with many of the disposable vapes.
Conclusion: Is the Elf Bar BC5000 Ultra Worth It?
When compared with the Elf Bar BC5000 the Elf Bar BC5000 Ultra is a marked upgrade in almost all aspects. It features a long-lasting metal construction, enhanced QUAQ coil technology and delivers a richer taste, consistent vaping experience. Although the BC5000 is still a good atomizer, if the sweet candy-like flavors are preferred then the Ultra is even better in performance. Still, if you don’t mind paying a few extra bucks, then the Elf Bar BC5000 Ultra is an amazing deal, as it would provide arguably the best vaping experience to make each draw pleasurable as it should be.
Summary: A Premium Disposable Vape Experience
In conclusion, the Elf Bar BC5000 Ultra is the best disposable vape device in the market at the moment. With its upgraded structure, better-coil system, and intense, beautiful colours, it is the preferred e-liquid of vapers who do not desire botherations. In using it I felt that any preference be it the fruity, mint or tobacco smells are available with the Ultra that also has a better performance than other similar cigarettes. Don’t fancy the regular vaping experience anymore? The Elf Bar BC5000 Ultra should definitely be on your list.
